Very weird move for USA to sell € to buy Y, instead of using their own $. Supposedly a very low Japan interest rate and a high US inflation playing a role here.

My understanding is that a stock price will fall if people think that people think that it is in trouble, even if it is not in trouble.

Yeah, exactly. Sentiment ( ~trust & prognosis) plays an important role in demand too, and thus in the stockprice.

Although it’s clear China has a machine, what it can do, how much and when exactly, remains open for discussion at this point.

“Reportedly” and “citing people familiar with the matter” being key to the validity here. I remember reading another article (like this by lithography experts explaining the many pitfalls. Still the stock has tanked a net 4,6% driven by this news.

No need to be so toxic just for not agreeing with someone’s view, is there?

Also try to avoid scmp. it’s owned in part by CCP.

According to this article the kill zone is about 50 deep by 1200 km long. And I’ve heard from other report maybe even 50 to 80 km deep. That’s impressive and frightening at the same time.

Mistral is allowing MS to use Mistral AI for European MS customers becasue Mistral’s GDPR iiuc.

they have combat load of 30 fused rounds and 144 modular charges. More than I expected.

Done, some are imo really ugly, strange opaque colours at times too.

RCH 155 Howitzers Are Fighting in Ukraine

so now the battle proven claim in the new 2026 folder is “official”.

That thing is a beast ," conduct 16 shots in 60 seconds and leave position before adversary responds".

Who is Drapatyi

Good in-depth article. Tnx. Seems he’s a bottom-up reformer, hands on kind of guy. Sort of a Federov type, but with much more real battle experience ofc.

That’s the shitty part.

It absolutely is shit. It’s at best a medicine to treat a symptom. Not the disease itself, though imho trying to reign in the “algorithms” haven’t really worked so far. Especially since it only wants to spread, and the enshitification gets only worse.

In a better world, there would be better options. But this isn’t (yet) that world unfortunately.

Though I share your concern regarding possible censorship and information restrictions etc, according to the article:

"After approval by the Senate earlier Tuesday, members of the National Assembly passed the bill by 279 votes to 81. "

This is a very high approval rate in favour of the bill in France , where they can’t almost agree on anything. Also, according to this eurobarometer:

" The risk of cyberbullying or harassment that children face on social media (mentioned by 71% of respondents) and the risk of online grooming or sexual exploitation that children face on social media (70%) are the biggest concerns of Europeans".

So this appears to be genuinely on the agenda of most Europeans.

didn’t really hear about that before now?

Zelensky sacked the cabinet including MOD Federov. This sparked protests considering the momentum Federovs changes and successes realised during his 6 month career.

So, afaik, it’s said that Federov and Syrskyi were having strong disagreements and this was creating a disruptive atmosphere in the Cabinet and Army. Also since recently there have been more & more disgruntled U.A militaries about the way Syrskyi was running the military (some even calling him a " butcher").

Time for oldskool to make way for newskool.

Since this is an English speaking community title is “THE INCREDIBLE STATISTICS of Josh Kerr, who has broken the world record for the mile”

So bizarre anyone in Poland would be doing this for Russia

It was a 18 yo who was arrested… Shit like this is unfortunately happening all over Europe. FSB or any other agency, hires syndicates which hire young mobboses whom ask (marginalized?) minors to do shit for them for money. IIrc it starts at €500 for placing a granade in a shop or stuff.

With all it’s possible pitfalls, “pragmatic federalism”, like the coalition of the willing, is imo the best fit within the architecture of the European Project.

double-bluff

Could be, there is a strategy in place for sure. Seems that this Philippe character is head of Horizons which is centre-right/ liberal. Technically Le Pen( FN)is on the far-right and he’s doing this maybe to take voters away from them and from other places.

It’s a bit of a low effort article imo.
