A Ukrainian security official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters, said Ukrainian drones hit the refinery and a military airfield in the region. Russian officials have not commented on the reported attack at the airport.Ukrain...

Taiwan, on China's doorstep, is tackling TikTok in its own way

As in the United States, TikTok is popular in Taiwan, used by a quarter of the island's 23 million residents.People post videos of themselves buying trendy clothes, dressing up as video game characters, and playing pranks on their roommates. Influencers share their choreographies and discuss whether sticky rice dumplings are better in northern or southern Taiwan.Taiwanese users of TikTok, owned by Chinese internet giant ByteDance, are also being served the kind of pro-China content that the US Congress has cited as a reason to pass a law that could lead to a ban on TikTok in America.A recent example is a video showing a Republican congressman, Rob Wittman of Virginia, stoking fears that a vote for the ruling party in Taiwan's January election would prompt a surge in American arms ...

Israel's wartime government struggles as frustration with Netanyahu grows

Benny Gantz, a centrist member of Israel's war cabinet, presented Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with an ultimatum on Saturday, saying he will leave the government if he does not soon develop a plan for the future of the war in Gaza.While Gantz's departure would not overthrow the country's emergency wartime government, the move would further strain a fragile coalition that has provided Netanyahu's far-right government with a boost of international legitimacy, and would make the prime minister once again more dependent on the government. its intransigent partners.“If we choose the path of fanatics, dragging the country into the abyss, we will be forced to leave the government,” Gantz said in a televised news conference. “We will turn to the people and build a government...

The Itsy Bitsy spider inspired a microphone

Engineers and scientists have an enduring fascination with spider silk. Similar to the typical silkworm silk from which comfortable sheets are made, but much stronger, the material inspired the invention of lighter, more breathable body armor and materials that could make aircraft components stronger without adding weight. Researchers are even using examples from spider webs to design sensitive microphones that may one day be used to treat hearing loss and deafness and to improve other listening devices.Spiders use their webs like huge external eardrums. A team of scientists from Binghamton University and Cornell University reported in 2022 that the webs allow the arachnids to detect sound from 10 feet away.When you hear a sound through your ear, what you're actually experiencing ar...

Georgia President Vetoes Foreign Influence Bill

Georgia President Salome Zourabichvili said Saturday she had vetoed a foreign influence bill that sparked protests and plunged the nation into a political crisis, threatening to derail her pro-European aspirations in favor of closer ties. close with Russia.The Georgian Parliament, which passed the bill in three readings, is expected to override the veto. The ruling Georgian Dream party, which presented the bill, can turn it into law as early as May 28, when Parliament returns to session.Ms. Zourabichvili called her veto “symbolic,” but it nevertheless represents another step in the political conflict between the country's pro-Western opposition, which Ms. Zourabichvili supports, and the Georgian Dream party, which has been in power since 2012.The crisis has highlighted the highly pola...

Can Google provide AI answers without harming the web?

For the past year and a half since ChatGPT was released, a frightening question has hovered over the heads of major online publishers: what would happen if Google decided to overhaul its main search engine to give greater prominence to generative artificial intelligence – and in would it interrupt our business in the meantime? ?The question speaks to one of the most fragile dependencies in today's online media ecosystem.Most large publishers, including the New York Times, get a significant share of traffic from people who go to Google, search for something, and click on articles about it. That traffic, in turn, allows publishers to sell ads and subscriptions, which pay for the next wave of articles, which Google can then show to people searching for the next thing.The whole symbiotic...

Under Israeli bombs, a war economy emerges in Gaza

At school tables and desks transformed into shelters, wartime vendors lined a street, selling used clothes, baby formula, canned food and the rare batch of homemade biscuits.In some cases, entire aid packages – still decorated with the flags of donor countries and intended to be distributed free of charge – were stacked on sidewalks and sold at prices few could afford.Issam Hamouda, 51, stood next to his meager commercial offering: an array of canned vegetables and beans from a relief carton his family received."Most goods found in markets carry the label 'Not for sale,'" he said.Before the war between Israel and Hamas devastated Gaza's economy, he was a driving instructor. Now, Mr. Hamouda supports his family of eight in the only way he can: by reselling some of the food aid ...

Scientists have calculated the energy needed to carry a baby. Shocker: That's a lot.

It takes a lot of energy to grow a baby – ask anyone who's been pregnant. But scientists are only now finding out how much.In a study published Thursday in the journal Science, Australian researchers estimated that a human pregnancy requires nearly 50,000 food calories over the course of nine months. That's the equivalent of about 50 pints of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream, and much more than the researchers expected.Previous estimates were lower because scientists generally assumed that most of the energy involved in reproduction ends up stored in the fetus, which is relatively small.But Dustin Marshall, an evolutionary biologist at Monash University, and his students found that the energy stored in a baby's tissues represents only about 4% of the total energy c...

Russia pushes attacks into northeastern Ukraine, seeking a buffer zone on the border

Russian forces continued to advance heavily into northeastern Ukraine on Saturday, closing in on a village about 10 miles from the Kharkiv Outer Ring and raising fears that the city, Ukraine's second largest, could soon be in the range of Russian artillery.The Ukrainian army said Saturday that Russian troops attempted to break through its defenses near the village of Lyptsi, which lies directly north of Kharkiv. The attacks were repelled, but battlefield maps compiled by independent groups that analyzed publicly available videos of the fighting showed that Russian troops had almost reached the outskirts of the village.Ukraine's Khartia Brigade, which is defending Lyptsi, posted a video on Telegram on Friday afternoon in which Russian soldiers could be seen advancing on foot toward...
