And now the largest buyer of cutting-edge US military hardware is an absolute monarchy, armed to the teeth.
It has a quite young native population of 19 million and a 14 million immigrant temporary workforce aged 25 - 54.
Most temp workers are male for religious reasons.
A stable state?
CAP Action collected that data on March 12th, 2025 for a period of 30 days.
How would it look like now, a year later?
You send it out, after earlier mailings this week that already sound quite panicking.
Please note, we in Europe are facing this:
Russian children are "talent scouted" on gaming platforms, and rewarded with a.o. placement and grants for top-universities.

Someone needs to develop an AI called "Cassandra" which excels in spreading information about many historic, unplanned and unforeseen disaster outcomes.
In short - isn't this a "Bias, bias, biases" problem, neglected by overoptimistic AI-model trainers, opposing mr Killjoy is allowed to train too?
That Deepmind article "Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning in Sequential Social Dilemmas" effectively showed how initial endowment (plenty, scarcity) or pay-off risks (wolf hunt cadaver stolen by third) influenced learned outcomes.
Did they learn those AIs about "nuclear winter" in their training?
So they tried it again?
From a training course given to the NL Council for the Judiciary by Jaap van den Herik and Jan Scholtes.
They discussed Chatbot Tay and then the Deepmind test with reinforcement learning in a fruit Gathering game and a Wolfpack hunting game.

Is the planned emergency energy auction to prevent data center driven rate increases for the 13-state PJM interconnection system canceled?
It was agreed on by president Trump and the governors of those states.

Aha u bent dus bekend met wat ze met hun PPA-contract betalen. Er zit voor het stuk "aansluitkosten" en gecontracteerd transportvermogen bij Tennet een vergoeding bij (stelt ACM vast), maar die is per kW / MW en niet per kWh/MWh.
De vraag was, hoe rekent u dat om? 8760 uur, vol vermogen belast?
It wasn't just the central post office. The central telephone and telegraph exchange Neude was also there.
A contemporary telephone and telegraph building was built by Crouwel in Arnhem.
That alas was damaged during the Battle of Arnhem in 1944 and blown up by the German forces in april '45.
Als Nederlands kind was het Amerikaanse automerk 'Buick' grappig.
Later maakte Fiat een marketing miskleun met hun dure middenklasser-model 'Croma'. Dat was voor Nederlanders een wagen, waarmee je nog geen deuk in een pakje boter reed.
'Hel verlichte buik' of 'bleke buik'?
Het schijnt een van origine Vlaamse achternaam te zijn.
Bij de Netbeheer tarieven rekent u een vermogen om naar energieverbruik.
Dat vereist een veronderstelling over het gecontracteerd vermogen en het verbruiksverloop over een jaar, wat zijn daarbij de keuzes?
In de zomer draait de datacenterkoeling harder dan in de herfst, winter en lente.
En géén van die omstreden kandidaten heeft tot nu toe een media-interview gegeven?
Iemand van hen die persoonlijk voor een camera of in een persbijeenkomst uitlegt dat hij/zij tot voortschrijdend inzicht is gekomen?
En dat doet men niet, terwijl men zich voor een openbare ambt verkiesbaar stelt?
It is obvious that either a break-up or being forced to exit (parts of) the European cloud market, will result in a serious reduction of the market cap of the American cloud firms.
The approach with a European development staff and 'international' release has the least long-run business risk.
In the 1980s and 1990s, digital telephone switches were by far the most complex ICT-systems and software sold. North-American suppliers had a 'domestic' release and an 'international' release developed and maintained in Europe.
This approach may return to avoid a break-up or cloud-market exit.
If a firm like Solvinity, mainly providing basic services, after being aquired by Kyndryl, already would be forced to hand over data to the US government or exclude or shut down services or servers they don't own, the entire business model for US computer services firms in Europe implodes.
As was explained in the Dutch parliament hearing by Kyndryl, Solvinity provides IT-infrastructure services inside the Dutch government's own data centers for the digital IDs system and a.o. the criminal case repositories for the courts.
They don't own the hardware, software & source code nor data.
"At one point, it was unthinkable that we could operate without the American GPS system. Today, every phone and every smartwatch also uses the EU Galileo satellite system, and Galileo is now the best satellite navigation system in the world. It only cost €15 billion!"

Would it be possible for this victim of a non-consensual harmful AI-generated image to claim reputation damages based on portrait right and invoke the new Take It Down Act?

Er is iets raars aan de hand bij de voortdurende heisa over de zeldzame aarden. Er wordt praktisch nergens melding gemaakt van de zeer beperkte wereldwijde marktomvang.
Die is klein. Tegelijk is mijnbouw op Groenland juist peperduur.

Wagenborg from the Netherlands has built a series of Arctic seas capable freighter vessels. They have sailed 80% of all shipments through the North-Western Passage since those lanes opened in the 2010s.
The US seems short on capable icebreakers. Can the Netherlands help build them?
Toch weer contacten, via Starlink met de buitenwereld?

Update #IranProtests (82): Isfahan is on fire tonight 🔥
Ondanks de massale repressie gaan de protesten nog steeds in #Iran door. Door de internetblokkade komen video's mondjesmaat naar buiten.
Beelden uit de stad Isfahan vanavond. #DigitalBlackoutIran
Conservative UK Secretary Nadine Dorries originated the controversial Online Safety Act.
She moved over to Farage's Reform_UK, heavily promoted by Elon Musk.

Which public prosecutor issues an international arrest warrant for the CEO and CTO of X and sends it to Interpol?
Komen ze nog wel met de browser met https op een site buiten Iran, of kapt men dat ook af?
We kunnen ook weer terug naar het districtenstelsel dat tot 1917 bestond met 50%+ anders een top-2 run-off.
In dat geval klapt de PVV in elkaar. Misschien wint een PVV-er het district Venlo of Rucphen-Roosendaal in een run-off
Farage werd groot in VK door evenredige vertegenwoordiging in het EP.
