Three years ago, the international effort to create a binding treaty to end plastic pollution started with an explosion of hope. Last year it collapsed. This has stalled the birth of an agreement that could begin to rein in production of a fossil-fuel-based material that is harming ecosystems on every part of Earth. The treaty seemed to be the latest victim of a struggling multilateral system. Shifting geopolitics, changing national positions and the global influence of fossil fuels are frustrating the broader work of curbing climate change – humanity’s common interest. I reported on the plastics negotiations over this period, watching as 184 countries seemed increasingly unable to find common ground. With so much at stake, one absence in particular seemed to weaken the process: the ability, when countries could not reach full consensus, to make a decision anyway based on a two-thirds majority vote. Arcane as it sounds, this omission lurked behind some of the most dramatic negotiation scenes, and still haunts...

Ran Barzilay, a psychiatrist and researcher at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, won’t be letting his nine-year-old son get a smartphone before age 13. He made the decision based on data from his recent study, published in the medical journal Pediatrics, which linked getting a smartphone at a young age to worse health consequences. Kids who owned a smartphone by age 12 had a greater risk of depression, obesity, and insufficient sleep compared to those who didn’t, a research team led by Barzilay found. That was based on observational data collected between 2016 and 2022 in an ongoing study of more than 10,000 children across the United States. Designed to assess brain development and child health, the nationwide Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study has been following children for the last decade, starting from ages nine to 10 into early adulthood. The age at which kids got a phone in this cohort ranged from four to 13, with a median age of 11. “We’re not advocating for people to go back to the Stone...

Pantera Capital predicts a year of significant consolidation for corporate crypto treasuries, with a few large players dominating digital asset demand while smaller ones get bought up. Digital asset treasury (DAT) companies are likely to face consolidation in 2026, as the largest, best-capitalized players continue to accumulate Bitcoin and Ether while smaller companies struggle to keep pace, according to Pantera Capital. DATs are set for “brutal pruning” in 2026, with only a few dominant corporate treasuries left standing, predicted asset manager Pantera Capital in a Wednesday X post. “Everyone else gets acquired or left behind except for a longer-tail token winner going along for the ride.” So far this year, the pattern has been most visible in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) treasuries, where the most well-funded players have dominated acquisitions.

Массированные атаки российских "Шахедов" должны потерять всякий смысл еще на подлете к Украине, а не над жилыми кварталами крупных городов. Для этого государство должно изменить подход к противодействию дронам, а также сделать их уничтожение дешевым, системным и экономически невыгодным для России.
