"The French correction" is the Metro's headline, embedding a picture showing a row of Paris riot cops next to the caption "Formez vos batallions". The Independent continues with "Curfew imposed to stop France riots as unrest grips Europe", below a photo showing a masked demonstrator in Marseille holding a French flag as a fire burns in the backdrop. "Italy prepares crackdown" it says as cost of living and housing anger spreads to "Lisbon, Albania and Serbia". "Challenges facing Macron deepen" says the Financial Times, taking a markets

Dublin, Ireland, is a longtime hub for American tech companies. A group of workers held a summit to discuss their concerns about AI in Irish workplaces and life. JUANA SUMMERS, HOST: Dublin, Ireland, is where many American tech companies have set up their European headquarters, companies like Google, Meta and Microsoft.

But a group of former tech workers and union organizers threw their own counter-AI summit to talk about their concerns. NPR's Willa Rubin was there. Accuracy and availability of NPR

Sébastien Lecornu says new measures will be put in place from tonight Macron criticises ‘unbridled violence’ after 2,400 arrests across France French PM Lecornu says he has asked prefects to implement “a number of partial curfews” in certain “localised” urban areas to stop further disorder, which he attributes to “the extreme-left” and some criminal elements. We will no doubt hear more on this from local authorities, as in the example of Marseille ( 10:32 ).

Police have been guarding the hospital in Melbourne where independent MP Helen Haines is being treated As increasingly frequent acts of violence against politicians have shocked the globe in recent years, Australia has watched on with a contradictory feeling: that attacks like that could not happen here, and that it was only a matter of time until they did. Australians will tell you this is a largely peaceful society with a comparatively civil public discourse. Violence targeting politicians has been rare, the bungled assassination of Labor leader Arthur Calwell in 1966 now a distant and fleeting memory. But MPs and public figures – backed by experts – have been warning of a volcano of

The 2020 thread does a lot: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23197966 It shows 100 solutions in light of Parkinson’s Law of Triviality. Intense opinions and discussion. It teaches about alligator energy and how they can live without food for up to two years. It teaches that this site should look like top, yet I’ve rarely seen top on a white terminal in the past two decades. This does exist, nofi. Workarounds exist, and those are “mid” janky shit shows. One I tried was an iOS app. It flashes the page between light and dark on every click. Aside from not being a solution, it’s nausea-inducing, takes 20+ steps to install, requires you to blindly trust the app without a Git repo, and

A fire that killed four members of the Canadian military and injured dozens of others on Saturday spread with alarming speed, accounts suggest. It broke out in a grassy training area at a base in the province of Alberta and spread rapidly due to strong winds. "The fire was 1km (0.6 miles) away when the wind shifted," said Maj-Gen Wade Rutland, commander of the 1st Canadian Division of the Canadian Armed Forces. "It is not normal for a fire to move a kilometre in 30 to 60 seconds." Prime Minister Mark Carney described it as "one of the worst tragedies for the forces on Canadian soil in peacetime". Officials have ruled out the possibility of "any terrorist activity". Speaking in the House of

Data centers are demanding more energy, and the Trump administration is making sure fossil fuels meet the moment. The US is building more fossil fuel infrastructure than it has in a decade while renewable energy growth slows down, a new report shows. Electricity demand is also climbing faster than it has in more than a decade with more data centers, factories, and electric vehicles plugging into the grid. Despite those growing demands, the Trump administration has sought to hobble the wind and solar industries in favor of fossil fuels. America’s energy landscape is already shifting as a result, according to the report published last week by the nonprofit Environmental Defense Fund and

The US has ordered all artificial intelligence (AI) technology from the Chinese firm DeepSeek to be removed from most government systems. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has banned all use of DeepSeek within civilian government agencies, and any technology built with the aid of its AI models. As a powerful AI model that is open source - meaning it is free to access and less expensive to use - DeepSeek has been seen as a disruptive force in the ongoing AI technology race. While the DHS notice did not detail the exact security concerns surrounding DeepSeek, the White House has this year criticised AI firms from China. The DHS, DeepSeek, and the Chinese embassy in Washington DC have
