Gelé depuis quatre ans, le conflit au Yémen a repris en juillet dernier. Ces derniers jours, les rebelles Houthis pro-iraniens ont de nouveau ciblé les forces gouvernementales soutenues par l’Arabie saoudite. Au moins 11 personnes ont été tuées dans une frappe sur le port de Mokha, dimanche 9 août. Sur les réseaux sociaux, cette offensive s’accompagne d’une vague de désinformation, principalement à coups d’images sorties de leur contexte.

Avioane de vânătoare F-16 Fighting Falcon ale Forțelor aeriene române au efectuat exerciții de reacție rapidă, pe fondul preocupărilor tot mai mari legate de războiul declanşat de Rusia în Ucraina vecină. Potrivit Ministerului român al Apărării naționale, exercițiul a avut ca scop prezentarea modului în care sunt executate anumite misiuni de patrulare aeriană. Drone din Ucraina au pătruns în România, de mai multe ori, inclusiv în mai, când o dronă s-a prăbușit pe un bloc din Galați, rănind 2 persoane. Cel puțin 19 drone au intrat în spațiul aerian al României în acest an, iar de la începutul războiului în 2022, au fost identificate 50 de cazuri de drone sau fragmente de drone pe teritoriul României.

Une nouvelle série de primaires à travers les États-Unis se tient ce mardi 11 août, en vue des élections de mi-mandat qui se tiendront en novembre. Le Connecticut, le Minnesota, le Vermont ou encore le Wisconsin doivent choisir qui défendra les couleurs des démocrates d'un côté, et des républicains de l'autre pour des postes de gouverneur, de sénateur ou d'élu à la Chambre des représentants. Ce mardi les yeux seront notamment tournés vers le Wisconsin, un « swing state », un état pivot. Une candidate de l'aile gauche des démocrates aimerait représenter son parti pour le poste de gouverneur, mais le scrutin illustre une fois de plus la fracture entre les centristes et les progressistes au sein du parti.

ضربه تازه بغداد به گروه‌های مسلح؛ تعطیلی ۷۱ مقر جعلی حشد و آغاز کنترل سراسری سلاح و پهپاد

ارتش اسرائیل اعلام کرد هیچ شواهدی از حمله موشکی یا پهپادی به نیروهای این کشور در منطقه امنیتی جنوب سوریه مشاهده نکرده است. این در حالی است که یک گروه جهادی همسو با جمهوری اسلامی مدعی شده نیروهای اسرائیلی مستقر در این منطقه را هدف قرار داده است.

Donostiako zortzi dantza talde omendu ditu udalak kanoikadan. Piratek Bagera elkartea omendu dute, eta euskararen aurkako oldarraldiari aurre egitera deitu.

A nineteenth-century cartoon, “The Unrestrained Demon,” portrayed a terrifying sight: a skeletal monster racing through a city street, its skull-like head fixed beneath a glowing bulb and its body tangled in overhead wires. A horse lies collapsed in the road. Men are thrown backward. A mother faints before her child. The city looks under attack. The image did not caution about war, plague or natural disaster. It was warning about the dangers of electricity. The image captured a familiar instinct: when a powerful new technology arrives, many people first see danger, disorder and loss of control. Today, the monster is the data center, and Gov. Kathy Hochul has cast herself in the role of hero, arriving just in time to rescue New York by enacting the nation’s first statewide moratorium on new hyperscale facilities. To critics like Hochul, these facilities look like dangerous, alien intrusions on ordinary life: oversized warehouses consuming land, electricity and water for the benefit of large technology companies. But they are not speculative indulgences, according to work done by the Goldwater Institute. They are the physical infrastructure of the digital economy. They support the modern world: AI tools, financial transactions, medical records, supply chains, classrooms, defense systems, cloud backups and the everyday digital services Americans rely on. The digital economy may feel weightless, but it rests on steel, concrete, fiber, servers, cooling systems and electric power. We can pretend otherwise only because the system usually works too well to notice. That is why the current debate is so often backward. Critics tally the costs of AI infrastructure while ignoring the value it creates. The recent rise of artificial intelligence makes that infrastructure even more important. AI is not merely another consumer product or workplace convenience. It is a general-purpose technology that can expand access to knowledge, reduce the cost of complex tasks and give individuals and small firms capabilities that once belonged only to large institutions. That kind of progress requires a physical foundation. None of this means concerns about electricity, water, land use or local communities should be dismissed. They should be answered – with evidence, markets and clear rules, not moratoriums, retroactive zoning changes and political vetoes dressed up as planning. The grid challenge is real. But the answer is not to stop data centers. It is to build more energy, improve transmission, incentivize large users pay for the upgrades they require and use prices that reflect scarcity when the grid is under strain. Data centers have become a convenient scapegoat for rising electricity prices, but the likelier culprit is years of policy choices that made power more expensive and less abundant. Reliable generation was retired before adequate replacements were ready. New supply has been slowed by permitting delays, regulatory barriers and green-energy mandates. A data center may expose those weaknesses, but it did not create them. Electricity prices are not acts of nature; they are shaped by policy choices, generation constraints and market design. Blaming data centers for the consequences of Green New Deal-style energy mandates will not make power cheaper or more reliable. It will only give politicians an excuse to avoid fixing the system they helped break. The same is true of water. Modern data centers are increasingly designed to reduce water use through air cooling, closed-loop systems and reclaimed or non-potable sources. Water is not free to operators. It is a cost, and markets create powerful incentives to conserve it. Political rationing is a crude substitute for innovation. A serious policy framework should begin with a simple presumption: America should welcome the infrastructure of the future unless there is evidence of concrete harm. Projects that meet objective standards should receive predictable approvals. Large-load users should pay their own way. Energy policy should favor abundance and reliability. Privacy and constitutional protections should follow Americans into the digital age. The alternative is a new Luddism, one that treats every emerging technology as guilty until proven harmless and every infrastructure project as a threat until politics permits it to exist. That path will not stop AI, cloud computing or the digital economy. It will simply move the investment, jobs and infrastructure somewhere else. Europe offers the warning. For years, much of the continent has approached technology through a politics of suspicion: regulate first, permit slowly, ration energy, elevate process over production and treat scale itself as a danger. The result has not been a more humane technological future. It has been slower growth, fewer global technology champions and a growing dependence on innovations built elsewhere. America should not copy that mistake. A nation that lets fear dictate its infrastructure policy will still use the tools of the future. It just will not own them, build them or profit from them. The future will be built. The question is whether America will build it here.

El fuego avanza sin control y está ya "fuera de la capacidad de extinción". Varios equipos de bomberos han tenido que ser evacuadosEl incendio de Niebla avanza sin control El incendio forestal declarado en el municipio onubense de Niebla roza ya las 20.000 hectáreas quemadas. En este momento, está “fuera de capacidad de extinción, no por falta de recursos, sino por la extraordinaria complejidad” y la “peligrosidad” del comportamiento del fuego. La previsión es que harán falta varios días para poder extinguirlo, ya que hasta los medios aéreos están perdiendo eficacia dado que el agua se evapora antes de llegar al suelo. Además, las condiones meteorológicas han empeorado “drásticamente” desde primera hora de la mañana de este lunes.

Chiar dacă sunt vecine, cele două state nu erau legate feroviar. Iar această nouă linie feroviară permite Finlandei să fie conectată cu restul Europei.
