You can cancel an election and ban the winner from running (Romania), you can ban your opponents from ever running again (Hungary), you can threaten to ban the main opposition party and subject it to relentless investigations by the secret police (Germany), you can threaten a ban on the leading presidential candidate and make them wear an ankle monitor (France), every member of your circle can be investigated for corruption (Spain), you can try and cancel local elections because you will lose them (Britain), and you can storm the constitutional court with riot police because you want to control it (Poland).
You can just do all these things. The secret is you just have to be on the right side of the European Commission.

Seeing people in Japan discussing the Allison Inquiry in Canada, the Netherlands trial of Gates and Bourla, and the testimony of Francis Boyle in the US, makes me realize this isn't a series of tiny fires burning all around the world, but one giant fire that is about to light up.

I am excited to be an investor in trade(xyz) as they partner with ICE to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States. As a market participant, I am looking forward to to using their innovative product to enhance my investment process.

Si siempre quisiste entender como funciona un dron pero son muy caros o te da miedo destruirlo ve esto
Es un laboratorio donde puedes desarmar, armar y comprender como funcionan más de 12 tipos de drones
Cada sección es un dron distinto: un quad freestyle de 5 pulgadas, un Tiny Whoop, un cinewhoop, uno de largo alcance, uno de carreras, un hexacóptero agrícola, un ala FPV, un VTOL y hasta un enjambre.
→ Lo armas pieza por pieza: frame, motores, controladora, receptor, cámara y batería
→ Haces las pruebas que se hacen antes de volar uno real: smoke stopper para no quemar nada al conectar la batería, dirección de los motores y calibración del acelerómetro
→ Ves el cableado bloque por bloque y qué conecta con qué
→ Te calcula el peso, la relación empuje/peso y el tiempo de vuelo de lo que armaste
→ Al final lo vuelas, con vista en primera persona tipo FPV
Para qué te sirve:
→ Entender cómo funciona un dron antes de gastar en piezas
→ Elegir qué tipo de dron armar según lo que quieres hacer
→ Aprender el cableado y las pruebas sin quemar una controladora
→ Si estás aprendiendo robótica, ver motores, sensores y control trabajando juntos
En el Article de robótica que publiqué, este lab es el cierre de la etapa 5: armas un dron, lo calibras y lo vuelas con todo lo que aprendiste antes.
Según su creador, lo hizo con Claude Opus 5.5. Está en inglés y se abre directo en el navegador, sin registro.

Elon has AGI and will acquire OpenAI
Pretty much.
As of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn’t have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers.
SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, but we’re investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue.
That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation. Some will make it through, but not many.

Joshua Michael found an access token on Flock's public website.
No login required. No authentication. Just sitting there.
He downloaded Flock's entire database. 300,000 device locations. 170,000 cameras. 130,000 other hardware units. 27,000 acoustic detectors.
Made a map. Published it September 23.
The Senate held a hearing on Flock the same day. Cited Michael's research.
Flock panicked.
Sent a cease-and-desist. Used a brand-protection vendor called Doppel to claim trademark infringement.
The map said it wasn't affiliated with Flock. Doppel didn't care.
Michael's site went dark.
Then Proton moved it to Swiss servers.
Now it lives on protonmcp.org. Untouchable. Uncensorable. Hosted by an encryption company in a country that doesn't care what Flock wants.
The irony is crystalline.
Flock left an access token on the internet. Michael used it to download their own data. Published it. Flock tried to suppress it.
Proton said suppressing it is suppressing information.
Which is true.
The map shows Flock has 150,000 more cameras than they publicly claimed.
Shows acoustic detection units mapping human speech across the country.
Shows which police departments have access to the whole network.
Flock doesn't want that visible.
So they tried trademark infringement.
Which only worked until Proton decided transparency matters more than Flock's feelings.
Now everyone can see exactly how many cameras are watching their car. Where they are. Which cops can see them.
Michael warned Flock about the exposed token in November 2025.
Flock ignored him.
Then got mad when he used it.
The surveillance company that claims to protect privacy just tried to suppress the only map showing how much they actually surveille.
And failed.
‼️ Proton is hosting a map of 300,000+ Flock surveillance device locations that Flock tried to get taken down.
Researcher Joshua Michael says he pulled them from Flock's own systems via a token left open to anyone.
Proton calls the takedown "an attempt to suppress information."

Sure, Anthropic may have stolen all the world's intellectual property, destroyed the education system, incited mass layoffs among the corporate class, devalued all art and destroyed social trust but somehow they also managed to lose $80 billion in the first half of 2026

Don't get me wrong. I'm proud of my immigrant ancestors. In fact, my people laid more track than Gavin Newsom.

Elections Alberta noted in advance that the province had 3,148,343 eligible voters.
The problem is that the numbers below add up to 4,352,679 votes cast.
So not only were there 1,204,336 more votes cast than eligible voters, which is bad enough, but I guess we're also supposed to believe that 100% of the 3M+ eligible voters cast a ballot.
Can someone explain how blatant electoral fraud isn't involved?
Alberta Election Referendum only had 38% more votes than actual eligible voters.
2.7 million advanced valid votes
I guess whoever Elections Alberta wants to win will win this referendum.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 4.35M total in the image is labelled "valid votes across all 10 questions", so each ballot is counted once per question. Elections Alberta reported 837,791 advance-poll voters and 519,082 special ballots, out of 3,148,343 eligible electors (43%). ca.news.yahoo.com/alberta-refere…

They're reinventing USAID
We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.
