Trump’s Tariff Fight With China Means Trouble for a Vast Wilderness in Brazil
Brazilian farmers are lobbying to roll back deforestation restrictions in order to sell more soybeans to the huge Chinese market.
What happened is kind of like what happened to the cotton market in the Civil War — back then the South decided to threaten to withhold cotton destined for British mills in order to force the British to intervene on their side. Instead, the mill owners set up a cotton industry in Egypt, and stopped needing to buy from the US anymore. This meant that the high profits from cotton never returned. In the same way, Chinese pig farmers have switched their sourcing of soy, and no longer buy from the US
Trump’s Tariffs Should Force a Reckoning With America’s Soy Industry

Improved drilling to boost Gulf of Mexico offshore oil output as US onshore growth slows
HOUSTON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Rigs drilling beneath the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico will drive U.S. oil industry growth this year and next as onshore production slows due to lower prices and maturing shale fields, and analysts and consultants expect the trend to continue as new technology and friendly regulations attract investment offshore.
The offshore oil and gas sector took a backseat to shale in recent years because drilling at sea requires years of construction work and higher upfront investments. Entry costs were lower for shale production and returns quicker, so rapid expansion in shale made the U.S. the world's top oil producer.
Now, technological improvements allow for high-pressure offshore drilling while U.S. President Donald Trump has brought in industry-friendly regulations. With the most prolific shale areas depleting in giant fields like the Permian, shale producers must shift drilling to less productive areas at higher prices.

BlackRock, Nvidia-backed group strikes $40 billion AI data center deal
Oct 15 (Reuters) - An investor group, including BlackRock and Nvidia (NVDA.O), will buy Aligned Data Centers from Macquarie Asset Management (MQG.AX) in a deal worth $40 billion, the companies said on Wednesday, as AI infrastructure expansion powers on.
The deal underscores an intensifying race to expand the costly, supply-constrained infrastructure required to develop artificial intelligence technology, as companies rush to build sophisticated AI models.

I'm not the only one seeing the 20 or so deals like this in the last few weeks. Right?
Is this because the SEC is shutdown?
The purchases (like this one) are real. The partnership deals (AMD, ARM, Broadcom, CoreWeave) are all fake and only help NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI avoid antitrust/anti-competitive suits in the future by feeding them breadcrumbs.
The real deal is Oracle hosting OpenAI models on NVIDIA hardware. Until we figure out if it’s a bubble or not, I guess the only company with guaranteed profit is TSMC.

How old is this article? Is it a reprint from years ago? Because he talks about suddenly pivoting his data by “conversion rate” and having an AHA moment about how we measure success.
Except… conversion rate is a bone-standard, absolutely ubiquitous way to measure traffic quality in ecommerce. No one places ads without knowing how many of them lead to conversions. Defining your conversion event is often part of setting up an ad in the first place.
He then goes on to describe his hand-rolled script that analyses mouse movements to differentiate humans from bots.
Except… that’s exactly what the “I am human” checkbox from CloudFlare and Google have been doing for years.
CloudFlare have said that about 30% of Internet traffic is bots. This is well known. It could easily be 70% for some sites.
I would say that there’s nothing to see here, but it’s probably a little worse than that: just adding some really shaky analysis and anecdotal data to an already widely-covered topic. Are we actually going to trust an internet marketer’s hand-rolled mouse movements analysis over CloudFlare?
I’m not.

In July and August, total military aid to Ukraine fell 43% lower than the amount received in the first half of the year, a report by the Kiel Institute finds.
Ukraine urges UN to condemn Russian attack on UN aid convoy in Kherson Oblast. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha urged U.N. member states to condemn Russia’s Oct. 14 attack on a U.N. aid convoy in Kherson Oblast, which left one truck destroyed and another badly damaged.

Russia has tortured Ukrainian POWs for years. Now they’re even more vulnerable.

China retaliates in response to Dutch seizure of Nexperia, blocking chipmaker's exports following takeover — 861,000 square foot assembly site in Gaungdong affected as trade war spirals
China has blocked the export of certain products produced by the Dutch chip company, Nexperia, according to Bloomberg. This is the same company that the Dutch government recently seized from its Chinese parent company to prevent the transfer of what it called "crucial technological knowledge" from leaving the country. This action appears to be retaliatory and highlights the increasingly multi-polar world that is developing under the umbrella of rapid global expansion in AI capabilities, and a rush to secure important strategic chip development resources.
Chinese trade relations with Western nations have been far more fractious in 2025 than in years past. Following increasingly aggressive global trade policies, China has pivoted from integrating with the wider global economy to focusing more on shoring up its own semiconductor development and nearer-to-hand trading partners. Many Western nations have mirrored this in turn, with the Dutch government's latest actions appearing to be just one more example of nations ensuring their own supply of silicon above almost all else.
China mandates domestic firms source 50% of chips from Chinese producers — Beijing continues to squeeze companies over reliance on foreign semiconductors
Questions remain about how native chips will work with existing AI infrastructure and software platforms like CUDA.Jon Martindale (Tom's Hardware)

"china" started this and west "mirrored"
Poles hating russians makes sense historically, but historically Germans, both Prussian and Austrian , have been just as bad, if not worse with the nazis, so why don't they hate them too?
I think the "russophobia" today has more to do with current events than history. If Germany did anschluss 2 and invaded Austria, I think Poland would be just as scared of them.
Maybe, but those specific targets were more often than not killed. So yeah, people who survived may say the russians were worse because you can't ask a dead jew who they thought were worse. The Germans killed 36x as many people during the occupation. Yeah the soviets taking your shit and trying to suppress your culture and autonomy sucks but that's better than the Germans doing the same while sending a good chunk of the population to death camps
Again, I think that perspective is more shaded by the more recent soviet occupation after the war. If the nazis won and implemented their full lebensraum plans for Poland, nobody would be saying the russians were worse.
Some true, yet Austria did hit Poland only few times, while Germany, did that many times for over a millennium.
Germans are often hated, true, but for many, they are also allies in NATO, EU, Schengen and work market, so for many, they aren't bad anymore. I mean, for many, there still are, rarely because of history, but many polish nationalists, even nazis, view whole EU as bad, as EU is trying to unify Europe beyond what nationalism wants coexist with others. Polish vs German hate falls under nationalism vs globalism war currently.
But rus, they are good source for smuggling only, and always should be hated.

[Announcement] What Will Happen When The Mercenaries League Ends
The Mercenaries Challenge League will end soon and you may be wondering what will happen when it does.
We really love the Mercenaries mechanic overall and intend on adding it to the game in the future but they will not be added in 3.27. Much like a lot of leagues when they go core we need time to rebalance, adjust mechanics and review how they will fit into the game when not necessarily appearing in every area. They will be returning, just not yet!
So, here's what you can expect when the league ends on Oct 27, 2025 09:00 PM (UTC).
- Items you have given them to equip will go into remove only tabs.
- Mercenaries will be deleted.
- Trarthan Gems will be a new reward you can get from Gem Chests in Heist.
- Mercenary League specific uniques will move into the global drop pool.
Thanks to everyone for playing and to those of you still trying to complete your unfinished challenges, you still have two weeks to do so before the Mercenaries League ends. To those of you looking forward to something new, keep an eye on the news for the upcoming 3.27 reveal!

Anticipazioni Uominiedonne 14/10/25. La tronista Sara Gaudenzi frega un corteggiatore a Cristiana Aniana
Approfondiamo le ultime anticipazioni delle nuove registrazioni di Uomini e Donne, che promettono un sorprendente colpo di scena nel trono classico.
#Anticipazioni Uomini e Donne: Sara Gaudenzi conquista un corteggiatore conteso
Martedì 14 ottobre 2025 si sono svolte le recenti registrazioni del popolare dating show di Maria De Filippi, in onda su Canale 5. Le novità riguardano sia il trono classico sia il trono over, portando con sé momenti di tensione e sviluppo nei sentimenti dei protagonisti.
Anticipazioni sulle registrazioni di Uomini e Donne
Durante le registrazioni, Jakub Bakkour è stato nuovamente invitato nello studio. Dopo la sua scelta di eliminarsi nella puntata precedente e la decisione di Cristiana Anania di non inseguirlo, la situazione ha avuto un inaspettato cambio di rotta. Sara Gaudenzi, la nuova tronista del trono classico, ha espresso il desiderio di conoscerlo meglio e lo ha fatto rientrare nel programma. Jakub ha accettato subito, provocando qualche polemica che potrebbe creare rivalità tra le due troniste. Di Flavio Ubirti e delle sue corteggiatrici non è stato fatto alcun accenno durante la registrazione, che si è poi concentrata sui partecipanti del trono over.
#Federico e Agnese: nuovi sviluppi nel trono over
Passando alle storie del trono over, si riapre il capitolo legato a Gemma Galgani. La dama torinese, decisa a farsi valere, è tornata a puntare il dito contro Mario Lenti. Dopo un aspro confronto al centro dello studio, Mario ha rivelato di non desiderare nemmeno un rapporto amichevole con Gemma, criticando la sua incoerenza nell’alternare complimenti e critiche.
Un’altra storia interessante riguarda Federico Mastrostefano, che ha scelto di riprendere il rapporto con Agnese De Pasquale, lasciando da parte la precedente decisione di chiudere ogni possibilità di conoscenza. Secondo le anticipazioni, Federico avrebbe dichiarato di sentirsi coinvolto per circa il 75% nella relazione. La registrazione si è poi conclusa con la prima sfilata femminile di questa edizione, che ha visto Agnese conquistare la vittoria.

Fotovoltaico, quale normativa ?
Da quanto ho letto, pare che l'installazione di un impianto fotovoltaico rientri nell'Edilizia libera, a meno che la sede dell'installazione non rientri in aree vincolate o soggette a norme particolari come potrebbero essere i centri storici o aree tutelate. In tal caso, pare occorra una autorizzazione o una dichiarazione certificata. Penso sia bene accertarsi della cosa consultando lo strumento urbanistico del proprio Comune.

Cheapest VPN in the long term for watching movies and tv shows?
My country never cared about this, but recently some people started getting fines. I generally pay for my games; I only use ReVanced and watch TV shows online.
What would be the cheapest VPN in the long run for this? As I said, I don't torrent, so port forwarding and stuff like that I don't care about.
There's also antimalware software bundled with the M365 subscription on Amazon; I've been using the VPN from that for a bit now.
Edit: Btw, do you think an antimalware VPN is safe? It's never been a problem (never like the USA, for example) over here in the EU, but recently they started slightly hunting pirates (never heard of anyone I know though). So yeah, maybe a simple VPN may suffice until they decide to go hardcore style?

Black Phone 2, la recensione: Ethan Hawke torna a terrorizzare il grande schermo
Il telefono è tornato a squillare. E con lui, Ethan Hawke.

Un horror visivamente straordinario, dove la pellicola analogica diventa linguaggio di paura — ma la sceneggiatura inciampa tra citazioni e spiegoni.
Un po’ Nightmare, un po’ Stranger Things, con un’anima che resta sospesa tra inferno e redenzione.

Brazil’s first private Amazon road paves new trade route to China as pro-deforestation mindset prevails
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44101271
Archived
- Brazil’s government has signed a 30-year contract to privatize a section of the BR-364 highway, a key part of its plan to create an overland corridor to Peru to streamline commodity exports to China.
- Critics warn that expanding the highway into well-preserved rainforest risks repeating its history by attracting illegal loggers and land grabbers, a pattern that previously cleared vast areas for agriculture.
[...]
Fueled by soybean, corn and beef production, [the Brazilian state of] Rondônia is now one of Brazil’s leading agribusiness states, where a pro-deforestation mindset prevails, rooted in a population largely disconnected from the forest, rivers and traditional Amazonian culture. This view gained renewed momentum under Jair Bolsonaro, the far-right president from 2019-2022, who won all 52 of Rondônia’s municipalities in both the 2018 and 2022 elections.
Cutting across Rondônia, BR-364 has become a key route for moving grain, beef and minerals to ports on the Madeira River in Porto Velho. From there, commodities from Brazil’s central-west region are shipped downriver to foreign markets via the Atlantic Ocean.
