The State of #Israel and the #US, today, signed an
MOU on advancing cooperation in energy and artificial intelligence ( #Al).
The signing was held at Blair House, in Washington, with the participation of Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu, US Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, together with the ambassadors of both countries -
Mike Huckabee and Yechiel Leiter.
The agreement, which was formulated under the leadership of Energy Secretary Eli Cohen, is designed to advance cooperation in applying Al to strengthening the energy grids in Israel and the US, and to encourage research, innovation and the development of joint policies. Under the agreement, regional projects, including IMEC and the Abraham Accords, will be advanced, and a working group on cooperation regarding standards and optimal practices, as well as safe digital infrastructure for embedding Al in the energy economies.The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure is a party to the agreement along with the Prime Minister's Office and the US Department of Energy, the US Department of the Interior and the White House National Energy Dominance Council.
Prime Minister Netanyahu:
"Mr. Secretary, Mr. Secretary, ambassadors, the future belongs to those who innovate. America and Israel are the prime innovation nations on the planet. Al is the thrust of innovation now and will create unbelievable things in the future. It's both challenging, because there could be bad things in it, but there could be unimaginable good things. I think we can lead this. This day will be remembered. Not every signing ceremony is as significant as this. This is very significant.
I want to thank you and President Trump for the incredible cooperation and friendship that has been unmatched and will yield great things for America and Israel. It will make both of us greater, again."
US Secretary of the Interior Burgum:
"Before we begin, I do want to say about this historic agreement. There has been such incredible collaboration between the United States and Israel demonstrated over the last month. The planning, the execution, the world has never seen anything like it, truly eliminating one of the existential threats that was facing the entire world, not just Israel and the United States. So again, congratulations.
This step takes us into the future around collaboration because we know that defense would not be working without Al, but all the incredible technological leadership, the great entrepreneurship, the incredible startup community that's strong and vibrant in Israel, all of this bodes well for the future. The first kind of agreement that Chris and I have signed with any country is this one and we think it's a great place to start."
US Secretary of Energy Wright:
"Honored to partner with you and the tremendous people of Israel, as you say, innovators, technology innovators, cutting-edge business folks and strong, proud country, and been a great American ally for a long time and I think our partnership has never been tighter, never been stronger than it is today."

A trial at Liverpool Crown Court has been shown CCTV footage of Amaaz, 20, swinging a punch towards the officer, hitting her in the nose - and today new scenes captured on bodyworn police cameras were revealed showing her distress.
PC Ward, who described herself as 'quite petite, 5ft 2in and 8st', told the court that she was part of the three-officer team going to arrest Amaaz on suspicion of headbutting a man minutes earlier in a Starbucks café.
Constable Lydia Ward, who jurors heard is heavily pregnant, told of being 'terrified' after coming under attack - as new police footage was shown to a court.Aidan Radnedge (Daily Mail)
The unarmed officer said she had gone into a pay station area alongside armed officers Zachary Marsden and Ellie Cook to arrest Amaaz after he had been identified as a suspect on CCTV.
She told how Amaaz punched her after she tried to drag him away from her colleague PC Marsden who was grappling with Amaaz's brother Muhammed Amaad, 26.
The attempted arrest was followed by a brawl involving Amaaz, Amaad and three officers that was filmed and went viral online.

Estava devendo um testemunho sobre aluguel de infraestrutura em centro de dados da empresa alemã Contabo, da qual ainda, embora não mais com tanto gosto, sou cliente — assim como #Ayom já tinha passado a ser, pouco antes, por seu fundador e principal mantenedor @pedro@ayom.media .
Atendi a pedidos da própria empresa, aparentemente enviados em massa para clientes brasileiros, para que fizesse uma avaliação do serviço num tal TrustPilot, que parece análogo ao brasileiro ReclameAqui, ou vice-versa. Segue uma cópia adaptada do relato:
⭐️⭐️ Tecnicamente nos conformes, porém enganosa para o consumidorEstou extremamente insatisfeito com a prática comercial da Contabo, em especial em relação a um aumento de 20% na mensalidade que passou de 5.50 dólares para 6.60 com a justificativa de uma suposta descontinuação do suporte à minha máquina virtual. Isso pareceu um estratagema de manipulação que se aproveitou da boa-fé do consumidor e contornou os Termos e Condições do serviço (Cláusula 4-9) para evitar tratar seu potencial abusivo. Embora o serviço tecnicamente funcione, o lapso ético é decepcionante.
Pela legislação europeia, acredito que isso possa ser considerado abusivo por desprezar a boa-fé e criar desequilíbrio entre as partes. No Brasil, provavelmente seria julgado abusivo e nulo de acordo com o Código de Defesa do Consumidor que proíbe tais práticas enganosas.
Acabei mantendo o plano original e depois contratei um novo, até perceber que ambas as máquinas têm infraestrutura idêntica. Isso é revoltante e destaca ainda mais a falta de ética do fornecedor.
Sugestão de melhoria: Para construir confiança, a empresa deve divulgar claramente suas práticas comerciais padrão tais como potenciais aumentos de preço após o primeiro ano e oferecer opções genuínas de continuidade do serviço a fim de não enganar os clientes.
Reposta da empresa:
Obrigado por dedicar tempo para compartilhar sua opinião. Lamento realmente pela sua experiência — nós levamos isso a sério e vamos investigar mais a fundo.

Used @Vivaldi for the entire day today and I gotta be honest, I got used to the non-Arc-like tabs pretty fast.
Tab stacks are cool, I wish drag and drop was smoother (or at least gave better visual feedback), but overall I think it solves my need for organizing tabs quite well.
I set new tabs to always open in a stack with the current tab (i.e. if I open a link in a page in a new tab, it creates a stack for it) which helps with keeping things tidy when going down a rabbit hole.
I also mapped the Quick Commands dialog to open on cmd+t, mimicking Arc's spotlight-thingy. It is fast and works quite well, especially after configuring it to open links in a new tab as well.
Gonna keep using it, I think. Arc still works and probably will for a while, but I'm preparing for the day its updates cease. Plus, Vivaldi seems to deserve some spotlight, there's obviously a lot of care put into it.

🚨 Vladimir #Poutine a bel et bien participé au sommet des #BRICS2025 à Rio !
📺 À voir ici : youtu.be/s91VEpdsBgs
🐑 Certains répètent comme des moutons que #Poutine n’était pas présent.
👉 Faux ! Il est intervenu depuis Moscou, en visioconférence, lors de la séance plénière officielle, dans un décorum pleinement estampillé #BRICS.
Pour Fréquence Populaire Media, et afin de rendre ce discours accessible à tous pour que chacun puisse se faire sa propre opinion, j’ai traduit son intervention intégrale, que nous vous proposons sous-titrée en français :
💥 Refus de l’hégémonie occidentale et de la globalisation néolibérale.
🌍 Défense d’un monde multipolaire et souverain.
📣 Appel à la refondation des institutions internationales.
💱 Promotion des échanges en monnaies locales, hors du 💲.
👉 Pour information, la délégation russe était la deuxième plus importante du sommet, avec notamment Sergueï #Lavrov et Maxim #Oreshkin, directeur de cabinet de Poutine et pressenti comme l’un de ses successeurs.
🤔 Une fois encore, je suis sidéré par la légèreté avec laquelle la plupart des médias français et des "analystes" traitent ce qui se joue aujourd’hui dans le Sud global.

I first learned Unix from NetBSD, moved on to running Linux myself in the 1990's along with FreeBSD and sometimes NetBSD. I'm also a former Solaris and OpenSolaris fan, and was an enthusiastic OS X user for a decade starting with 10.1.
These days my main machines are Fedora and recently NetBSD again. Work is programming microelectronics CAD software on RHEL.
I made this alt with the hope of following more of what's going on amongst BSD users, rather than just running a couple machines by myself.

Before Trump changed the law, corporations had to pay a 35 percent tax rate on their income. Now, Trump's bill locked in the corporate tax rate at just 21 percent.
How does the bill make up the lost revenue? With cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, starving working families and stopping people from being able to see a doctor so that corporate giants can pocket billions more.
