Google Wants to Get Better at Spotting Wildfires From Space - WIRED
(No paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=205276&nl=daily is a
partnership between Google, the nonprofit Earth Fire Alliance, and the
satellite builder Muon Space. The collaborative effort was announced
in 2024 with the goal of launching satellites specifically designed to
spot wildfires. The first satellite of the proposed 50-plus strong
constellation launched in March 2025.

The group hopes to get the full constellation up there by 2029. Then,
the satellites will be able to orbit the Earth, snapping images of
every fire-prone place on the globe. The photos would be captured
about 20 minutes apart, enough to catch a small fire before it grows
too big, or to observe the progress of an active blaze.The information
about a fire’s location could then be beamed to data analysts and
machine intelligence systems on the ground more quickly than ever.

I believe that the imperialists' aggressiveness makes them extremely
dangerous, Castro wrote in a cable to Moscow, and that if they manage
to carry out an invasion of Cuba - a brutal act in violation of
universal and moral law - then that would be the moment to eliminate
this danger forever, in an act of the most legitimate self-defense.
However harsh and terrible the solution, there would be no other.

A Week for the Ages in the Annals of Trump Suck-Uppery - The New

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=205276&nl=daily]
Over the past decade, as I watched ambitious, embattled, fearful, or
just plain weak interlocutors deal with Donald Trump, it became
obvious that many of them have reached the same conclusion about how
best to manage the capricious President: with suck-uppery - the more
egregious, the better, and ideally combined with a few strategic
rounds of golf that Trump is allowed to win. This has proved to be a
much safer choice than actually standing up to him. Just ask Volodymyr
Zelensky. Or Angela Merkel. Or Mike Pence. In Trump's first term,
Poland proposed to name a new permanent U.S. military installation
Fort Trump in his honor. Israel thanked him for recognizing its
occupation of the Golan Heights by unveiling a new settlement called
Trump Heights. At this point in the Trump era, the path of
over-the-top praise has been well-trodden by everyone from Lindsey
Graham to the late Shinzo Abe, the former Prime Minister of Japan,
who, in 2018, nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for pursuing a
nuclear-disarmament deal with North Korea that did not, in fact,
happen. They know what we all know by now: Trump is a
reverse-Machiavelli who prefers the praise of the flatterer, no matter
how insincere, to the hard counsel of unpleasant truth.
