LAHORE: The Airport Traffic Controllers of Pakistan Airport Authority (PAA) have reportedly prevented around 30 passenger aircraft from entering the Iranian war zone. “Owing to severe weather conditions, several aircraft were on the verge of drifting into Iranian war-zone airspace on Wednesday and Thursday. Timely guidance from the air traffic controllers, particularly coordination with the Karachi Flight Information Region, helped avert a major disaster,” an official source in the Airport Traffic Controllers here said. “Most of the aircraft came under the pressure of extreme weather near the Iran border, creating a highly risky situation. However, the professionalism demonstrated by the Lahore air traffic controllers ensured that the planes were safely diverted away from the danger zone, although no response was received from Tehran Air Traffic Control despite repeated attempts,” he said. These flights were arriving and going to Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and other countries. “The Lahore air traffic control, in co...

20 марта 1916 года в журнале Annalen der Physik Альберт Эйнштейн опубликовал свои знаменитые "Основы общей теории относительности". 110 лет спустя мы видим: идеи Эйнштейна прошли проверку временем, но не на 100%. Оказывается, главная теория гравитации не очень хорошо "работает" вместе с квантовой физикой.

Galaxy Digital’s Will Owens says most crypto wallets aren’t exposed to quantum risks, with vulnerabilities limited to cases where public keys are revealed. The quantum risk to Bitcoin investors is real, but not all wallets are vulnerable, and the people best positioned to address it are working on it, says Galaxy Digital research analyst Will Owens. Owens said in a report on Thursday that, in theory, a quantum computer could derive private keys from public keys, allowing an attacker to impersonate the owner, forge a signature and steal coins.  However, he argued that not all wallets are equally vulnerable to this risk.

Кажется, что для Путина война на Ближнем Востоке стала подарком и он извлечет из нее множество всяких выгод — но это не так, уверяет эксперт по геополитике Джон Лоу в колонке для The Spectator. В конечном итоге, "иранский кейс" не даст России долгосрочной выгоды, и даже сиюминутный рост цен на горючее приносят Кремлю лишь краткосрочные бонусы.

De oorlog in het Midden-Oosten veroorzaakt een grote energiecrisis, waarschuwt het Internationaal Energieagentschap (IEA). Zolang de oorlog aanhoudt, is het volgens de organisatie aan overheden en burgers in de rest van de wereld om de impact van de forse olie- en gasprijsstijgingen zoveel mogelijk te beperken. Het IEA raadt mensen bijvoorbeeld aan waar mogelijk vanuit huis te werken om brandstofkosten te drukken.

WASHINGTON: Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sailed smoothly past a potential clash with Donald Trump on Iran on Thursday — although the US president whipped up a bit of a storm about Pearl Harbor. Days after lashing out at US allies including Japan for failing to heed his calls to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Trump praised Tokyo’s efforts related to the Middle East war in vague terms. “I believe that, based on statements (which) were given to us yesterday, the day before yesterday, having to do with Japan, they are really stepping up to the plate,” Trump told reporters as he hosted Takaichi in the Oval Office. After a long pause Trump then added “unlike Nato,” repeating his criticisms of the US-led military alliance with mainly European countries. Trump gave few details about what help Japan might provide in securing the crucial waterway, through which one-fifth of the world’s oil normally passes. But his tone towards Takaichi was far more friendly than the tongue-lashings he has given to allies, ...

The information ministry on Friday rubbished the Afghan Taliban’s claim of Pakistan violating the temporary pause in fighting, terming the allegation “frivolous”. In a post on X, the ministry said, “The claim of so-called Ministry of Defence/spokesperson of Taliban regime that Pakistan has violated the temporary pause — initiated itself by Pakistan in view of Eidul Fitr — is frivolous. “No violation of the temporary pause has taken place along the western border by Pakistan and all such claims are absolutely false,” the statement on the “fact check” asserted. “Such propaganda may probably be initiated by detractors within Taliban regime, aimed at creating false pretext for some Afghan Taliban regime-directed terrorism or other action,” it contended. The ministry stressed that irrespective of who has initiated the propaganda and false claims, “Pakistan has already declared it clearly that any act of terrorism, cross-border attack, drone attack, etc by Afghan Taliban regime and its proxies will result [in] fort...

Crypto exchange Gemini is facing a proposed class-action lawsuit over what a complaint alleges is an “abrupt corporate pivot to a prediction-market-centric business model” after its IPO.
