'Vacuum-Gapped, Not Just Air-Gapped'—After Iran Hit Amazon's Cloud - Iran
Chris Stott, founder and executive chairman of Lonestar Data Holdings, has stated that his company, which has flown data storage to the surface of the moon twice and uses this technology to store data in space, is a way of preserving civilization by placing it where no rival can reach it. However, Iranian drones targeted Amazon Web Services data centers in the UAE and Abu Dhabi on March 1, marking the first time a state deliberately targeted commercial cloud infrastructure in a war. Stott's company, Lonestars, has also been criticized for its ability to store its data in a secure location, rather than in space. He argues that storing data in such a secure place could preserve civilization by preserving it where it is safe. Concerns have also been raised by bitcoin miner Chun Wang, who has been championing mining bitcoin in space and has been to space on the first commercial SpaceX flight.

Trump administration admits grants for clean energy were canceled based on politics
The Trump administration has admitted to canceling $7.6 billion in grants for hundreds of clean energy projects based solely on the political identity of the recipient's state, including 16 states that voted for Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. This contradicts Energy Secretary Chris Wright's claims that the projects were canceled due to inadequate energy efficiency or other issues that made them a poor investment of taxpayer dollars. Democrats and environmental groups accused the administration of using federal power to kill good jobs and punish working families for their political views. The Energy Department announced in October that 321 funding awards across 223 projects were terminated, stating they did not adequately advance the nation's energy needs or were not economically viable. The cuts were immediately challenged in court, with over two dozen Democratic members of Congress requesting an investigation.

Crysencio Summerville's man united move blocked by rashford sale, joins Al Hilal instead - Khel Ja
Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville, who initially intended to move to Manchester United, saw his ambitions thwarted when the Red Devils failed to sell Marcus Rashford before the expiration of the £40 million release clause. Manchester United had made formal enquiries for Summerville but the move was dependent on Rashford's sale. Tottenham Hotspur also expressed interest, but Summerville reportedly declined this out of respect for West Ham United following their recent transfer of Mateus Fernandes to Spurs. However, Al Hilal's financial muscle made him an irresistible choice, offering Summerville a staggering £15 million per year, a significant leap from his previous wages of under £50,000 per week at West Ham to a weekly package approaching £300,000. Neither Manchester United nor Tottenham could match this offer.

Trump's Power Pledge for AI Data Centers Faces Mounting Doubt From Experts
President Donald Trump has promised to lower electricity bills for American families despite the rapid growth of power-hungry data centers for artificial intelligence. The Ratepayer Protection Pledge, which was first introduced in March with major tech firms, now includes utilities, governors, and nearly 200 other signatories. However, energy analysts are sceptical as the pledge lacks binding rules and specific capacity targets. Data centers already strain the grid, driving $6.3 billion of the $16.4 billion in charges from the latest capacity auction. Experts predict data centers could boost overall U.S. electricity demand by 25% by 2030, potentially causing monthly bills to rise by 40% over five years. However the pledge offers no guarantee that costs of upgrades will stay off household ledgers.

US and UK plan London summit to form maritime coalition for Strait of Hormuz: Report
The United States and the UK are planning a high-level meeting in London next week to form an international coalition to protect commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The meeting could gather defence ministers and military leaders from Western and Middle Eastern nations, including US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine. The initiative is reportedly tied to a US exit strategy from the conflict with Iran, and comes after US President Donald Trump threatened to target one Iranian bridge or power plant for every strike directed at commercial vessels in the strait. This comes amid ongoing tensions around the strategic Strait of Horruz, triggered by Iran's renewed maritime blockade targeting commercial vessels. The maritime tension has driven Brent crude prices sharply higher, increasing economic pressures on the White House amid soaring fuel costs.

Google DeepMind director becomes first Vietnamese to deliver graduation speech at Asia's top computer science school
Luong Minh Thang, research director at Google DeepMind, has become the first Vietnamese to deliver a graduation speech at the National University of Singapore's School of Computing in its 50-year history. He addressed graduates at the NUS Computing master's commencement ceremony on July 10. Thang's early research in information retrieval later led him to machine translation, laying the foundation for his career. Despite setbacks, Thang managed to secure admission to Stanford University for a Ph.D. and joined Google in 2016. He also founded the Superhuman Reasoning team to develop AI systems capable of solving problems from the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), an ambition many considered unrealistic two years later. Than's speech encouraged graduates to pursue ambitious challenges instead of choosing easier goals.
