Ecco spiegato il recente impegno degli americani a smantellare l'Europa
Ogni pagamento che gli europei faranno con l'euro digitale - che potranno effettuare o con una app fornita dalla banca, o con una 'card' simile alla carta di credito - sarà il trasferimento ad altri di un 'credito' presso la Bce: come le banconote. Una differenza sostanziale con le carte di credito e con i bonifici bancari. E anche un elemento 'geopolitico': i due terzi dei pagamenti digitali oggi - su Visa, Mastercard o Paypal per quelli online - passano da operatori americani.

The first honest American president - Trump’s shameless corruption is not a deviation from American history but its fulfilment.
By the time Trump arrived, corruption had been normalised as realism. Trump merely stripped it of its polite fictions – not only in domestic politics but in foreign policy, where the US has long cloaked its violence in the language of democracy and human rights. Trump’s extrajudicial killings of unidentified individuals via unilateral military strikes in Latin American waters, for example, are not a break with American precedent but its most naked expression, the open performance of practices that past administrations enacted beneath the cloak of deniability and euphemism. Likewise, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) brutality and cruelty under Trump are not new. It is instead largely a dramatised, made-for-TV version of what Barack Obama – who earned the title of “deporter in chief” – pioneered over the years in which he built the career of Tom Homan, now Trump’s so-called border czar. Like Trump, Obama was a great admirer of Homan, awarding him a 2015 Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Service to honour his passion for rounding up immigrants, separating children from their parents and caging people in detention camps.
The brazenness of Trump’s corruption and cruelty – the nepotism, the grift, the self-dealing, the open auctioning of government contracts and justice – does not shock us because it feels like an honest expression of what we already knew: that American government and institutions serve the wealthy individuals who own them, whether directly or indirectly through their donations and lobbyists or via networks of influence, bribery and extortion. The outrage that might once have followed is replaced by a weary recognition that things have always worked this way.

Portland won’t weaken its policy to phase out petroleum diesel and replace it with biofuels
The rollback recommended by the Renewable Fuels Standards Advisory Committee would have allowed trucks to continue to emit black carbon, or “soot,” at a higher level and for longer than under the original plan.Gosia Wozniacka | The Oregonian/OregonLive (oregonlive)
like this
As far as I know, mandatory use of biofuels is primarily a subsidy for farmers rather than a means of reducing emissions. I'm surprised to see an urban area focus on it.
In his decision, Engstrom said the feedstock restrictions are “core to the original policy intent” and must be preserved because they ensure the policy delivers on promised carbon reductions. Feedstocks made from virgin agricultural products and food crops – such as soybean, canola and palm oils – have been linked to much higher carbon emissions, displacing food production and causing deforestation and are not allowed under Portland’s policy.
It sounds like Portland is making an effort to avoid the farm-subsidy sort of biofuels, but then what is it actually demanding that biofuels be made from?
‘Fancy tool’: how China cut chip defects by 99% for near-perfect lithography
In a major leap for the global semiconductor industry, a joint Chinese research team has developed a method that can slash defects in lithography – a critical step in chipmaking – by up to 99 per cent.
The researchers achieved unprecedented clarity by using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) to pinpoint, for the first time, the minute sources of common manufacturing flaws.
The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications on September 30, by Professor Peng Hailin from Peking University in collaboration with researchers from Tsinghua University and the University of Hong Kong, were hailed by reviewers as a “fancy tool” that “would benefit peer researchers and industrial users quite a lot”.
“The team has proposed a solution compatible with existing semiconductor production lines,” Peng said in an interview with Beijing-based Science and Technology Daily published on Monday. “It can reduce lithography defects on 12-inch (30cm) wafers by 99 per cent,” he added, indicating substantial cost benefits to the market.
Lithography is one of the most critical steps in chip manufacturing. “It can be understood as ‘printing circuits’ onto semiconductor wafers such as silicon,” Peng said. “Essentially, an ultra-precise ‘projector’ shrinks and transfers pre-designed circuit patterns onto a special film coating the wafer, which is then developed and fixed.”

Openpilot 0.10.1 Released: Improved World Model and Overhauled User Interface
Openpilot 0.10.1 introduces the North Nevada Model, featuring major improvements to the World Model architecture. The system now infers 6 degree of freedom ego localization directly from images, removing the need for external localization inputs. This reduces over-constrained data and opens the door for future self-generated imagery.
To support this change, the autoencoder Compressor was upgraded with masked image modeling, switched from CNN to Vision Transformer architecture, and the World Model itself was scaled from 500 million to 1 billion parameters. All models now train on a much larger dataset of 2.5 million segments, up from 437,000, covering more vehicles, countries, and driving scenarios.
The UI has been completely rewritten, moving from Qt/Weston to Python with raylib. This reduces code complexity by about 10,000 lines, cuts boot time by 4 seconds, lowers GPU usage, and simplifies development.
Finally, the Driver Monitoring Model's training infrastructure has been streamlined with dynamic data streaming, though the model’s functionality remains unchanged.

DoD strips job protections from civilian employees, directs managers to fire with ‘speed and conviction’
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/48899185
The Defense Department is stripping away job protections from its civilian employees and directing managers to “act with speed and conviction” to fire employees performing “unsuccessfully.”A new Sept. 30 memo titled “Separation of Employees with Unacceptable Performance,” which became public Tuesday, also warned that managers will be held accountable if they fail to remove poor performers.
Pentagon’s Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata, who signed the memo, suspended the department’s requirement that managers attempt to rehabilitate underperforming employees — clearing the way for supervisors to fire workers whose performance is deemed “unacceptable” more quickly.
“They are trying to cloak it in legalistic language and make it sound legitimate, but the reality is they’re stripping due process significantly and making it easier for arbitrary terminations, similar and functional to private sector employment,” Sean Timmons, managing partner at Tully Rinckey PLLC, told Federal News Network.

Mushroom clouds over Vegas? What Trump’s nuclear weapons tests could mean for America and the world
But 10 months into his second administration, the president is commanding officials to resume nuclear weapons testing, which would end the U.S’s 33-year moratorium and invite a global arms race in a volatile political moment.
Claiming that the United States must reach parity with weapons development in China and Russia, Trump ordered the Pentagon on October 30 to “start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis,” a process that will begin “immediately,” he said.
The last confirmed nuclear test by the United States was in 1992 under then-President George H.W. Bush, who established a moratorium on all nuclear testing. China has reportedly not tested a nuclear weapon since 1996, and Russia’s most recent tests involved delivery systems, not actual detonation of a nuclear device.

Nobody with two braincells to rub together thinks that Palestine can coexist with the expansionist racial supremacists zionist state, or that the expansionist racial supremacists zionists will just cease to be without a fight. So in order for a person to think that Palestinians can live in peace without the armed resistance who Hamas are the largest group they have to be irrational or just dumber than shit.

in reply to TheReturnOfPEB • • •During WWII and the holocaust if one said they are for only for peaceful protest against the Nazis or one said they are against the resistance fighters or soldiers fighting the Nazis what would that effectively mean for those in the concentration camps?
During decades of ethnic cleansing including where children have been captured, tortured and killed; where non violent protestors have been been repeatedly shot and killed, kidnapped and tortured to death; where journalists have been tortured and killed; where there have ongoing blockades to starve and murder people; where israel regularly "mows the lawn"; where medics have been routinely killed; where the Gaza strip has been a test bed for weapons sold at arms fairs; where the largest organ trafficking per capita against the palestenians is ongoing; where palestinians have been reguarly sexually tortured and abused; where the homes and livelihoods have been regularly razed for settlers; and THEN followed by the last few years by a genocide what does it mean to be against the palestinian resistance fighters?
What does it mean to believe what the West and Israelis say about said resistance fighters fighting a genocide where the West and Israelis are active perpetrators? What does such lack of support effectively mean for palestinians?
It means effectively supporting their death.
There is a reason why the west lionises the likes of Gandhi and MLK and strips them of any real radicalism (especially the latter) and forgets their context in history - their "non-violence" had leverage because of the alternatives of "violence" the oppressors faced from their contemporaries lead by Baghat Singh/Fred Hampton/Malcolm X etc to name the most famous of them.
In liberalism often the violence of the oppressor is normalised and the resistance to that is considered exceptional; one has to reflect why that racism should ever be consider acceptable if one wants to consider consider the oppressed as fully human.
In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. - Kwame Ture
