Rafael Camara’s F1 debut with Haas has been brought forward to the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: In an announcement released Thursday, Fujifilm said it will invest roughly 10 billion yen (about $63 million) to increase its production capacity fivefold for an unlikely beneficiary of the AI era: magnetic tape. Fujifilm attributes the surge in archiving demand to the spread of generative AI, which the company remarked is producing "exponential growth" in data needs worldwide. The 5x increase in production capacity will be measured against fiscal year 2025 production levels.
The investment in Fujifilm's Kanagawa Factory, Odawara site will make it "the largest investment Fujifilm has made to date in dedicated LTO tape facilities." The project will run from fiscal years 2026 through 2028 to fund manufacturing expansion and additional personnel, primarily to produce the latest-generation "FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium10" tape. [...]
According to Fujifilm, "major cloud service and data center operators" have been expanding their use of magnetic tape because it can store large data volumes at relatively low cost. Tape backups can be easily disconnected and stored in a drawer, a vault, or a separate facility. Fujifilm highlights the ability to air-gap tape cartridges as a last defense for user data: "Given the sophistication of cyberattacks, magnetic tape is attracting increasing attention as a means of protecting data from threats such as ransomware."

Binance says hackers spent months infiltrating its systems through fake job interviews, a tampered developer tool and compromised internal AI tools before stealing $6.34 billion in crypto in the Oct. 29 attack. Co-CEO Richard Teng said Binance has replenished 98% of the affected assets, and that it is still in the process of purchasing outstanding, more illiquid assets. CNBC reports: Preparations for the attack began in June, when a Binance Wallet DevOps engineer downloaded a tampered Homebrew installation "to install a popular AI coding tool after searching for it on a search engine," according to a security report published by Binance Tuesday. It said it detected the suspicious activity, replaced the engineer's device and rotated credentials as a precaution, but that by then the employee's "role and his related colleagues on our wallet infrastructure team was exposed to the hacker."
[...] As of Tuesday Binance has rebuilt the affected wallet system and internal AI tool, replaced compromised devices, decommissioned credentials and tokens associated with the affected engineers and expanded security scans across employee devices, Teng told "Squawk on the Street."
"We're also getting an independent expert to review everything that we have done, and we'll keep strengthening our defenses as the investigation continues," Teng said. "We're working around the clock with law enforcement agencies and with industry partners to trace and freeze the stolen funds for that front."

Foden: ‘You have to keep putting on performances’
Enzo Maresca: ‘We cannot rely on Erling for every game’
Phil Foden is aiming for an England recall after the Manchester City attacker was left out of the squad for last summer’s World Cup and the Nations League games this season by Thomas Tuchel.
While the next round of England games in the competition – the squad for which will be named on Friday – may come too soon for a recall, Foden wants to force his way back into Tuchel’s plans. The 26-year-old said: “Hopefully, one day the call-up might come back. It’s one of those things [being dropped]. Football is full of ups and downs. You have to try your best, keep putting on performances.”

Andy Burnham is preparing to announce billions of pounds of trade deals with the EU covering everything from youth visas to pet passports under his vision of a much closer relationship with the bloc.
With the prime minister scheduled to meet his European counterparts in Brussels on 20 November, officials have all but agreed three deals that would allow farmers to sell freely to the continent and travellers to take their animals abroad more easily.

De politie arresteerde de Turkse man in de zuidelijke deelstaat Baden-Württemberg. Hij zit vast op beschuldiging van het voorbereiden van een terroristische daad.
De man zou twee andere Turkse staatsburgers opdracht hebben gegeven om de brand te stichten. Zij zouden in de nacht van 23 september naar Polen zijn gereden om het Starlink-station in brand te steken. Het tweetal werd vorige maand al opgepakt in Duitsland, op verzoek van Polen. Tegen hen loopt een procedure om ze aan Polen over te leveren.
Het Starlink-satellietnetwerk is cruciaal voor de communicatie van de Oekraïense strijdkrachten in de oorlog tegen Rusland. De Poolse regering vermoedt dat Rusland achter de aanval zit.

Hoe het met de ouwe Trump zal aflopen – doen de midterms-verkiezingen hem de das om of niet – weten we op dit moment nog niet. Er zijn tekenen dat steeds meer Amerikanen hem wel zat beginnen te worden.
De midterms zijn geen presidentsverkiezingen. Ook geen referendum over al dan niet aanblijven van de ouwe Donald. Toch menen analisten wegens de gevolgen van zijn beleid veel Amerikaanse kiezers tot een ‘anti-Trump’-stem zullen uitbrengen.
De prijzen van boodschappen, brandstof, huisvesting en gezondheidszorg rijzen de pan uit, de oorlog tegen Iran krijgt weinig steun, het keiharde anti-immigratiebeleid is onder kiezers minder populair geworden.
Steeds meer Amerikanen zijn ook Trumps ijdeltuiterij zat. De Amerikaanse hoofdstad Washington moet een aantal grote bouwprojecten ondergaan, die Trumps zelfverklaarde grootsheid moeten uitdrukken.
Donald heeft het met de paplepel ingegoten gekregen dat je met bouwprojecten je politieke voorkeuren kan botvieren. Zijn vader Fred, deed niet anders.
In de video hierboven wordt dat uitgelegd. met daarna een lied van folkzanger Woody Guthrie (1912 – 1967): Old Man Trump.
I suppose
Old Man Trump knows
Just how much
Racial Hate
He stirred up
In the bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed
That color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project
We kijken uit naar de uitslag, in de hoop dat de Amerikaanse kiezers Trumps grootheidswaanzin een kopje kleiner maken.
