White House’s cloud security problem: ‘It could take down the internet like a stack of dominos’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:56:45 GMT

Governments and businesses have spent two decades rushing to the cloud — trusting some of their most sensitive data to tech giants that promised near-limitless storage, powerful software and the knowhow to keep it safe.Now the White House worries that the cloud is becoming a huge security vulnerability.So it’s embarking on the nation’s first comprehensive plan to regulate the security practices of cloud providers like Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Oracle, whose servers provide data storage and computing power for customers ranging from mom-and-pop businesses to the Pentagon and CIA.The cloud has “become essential to our daily lives,” Kemba Walden, the acting national cyber director, said in an interview. “If it’s disrupted, it could create large potentially catastrophic disruptions to our economy and to our government.”In essence, she said, the cloud is now “too big to fail.”The fear: For all their security expertise, the cloud giants offer concentrated targets that hackers could us...

Tractors head to The Hague, defying ban on farms protest

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:56:45 GMT

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Farmers drove tractors toward The Hague early Saturday in defiance of a ban on the heavy vehicles imposed ahead of a protest against the government’s plan to reduce nitrate emissions.The municipality imposed an emergency order in the city on a day when thousands of farmers were set to gather in a park and environmental activists from the Extinction Rebellion group were also planning a protest action on a major road. Authorities placed army trucks near some crossroads ready to block the streets if tractors tried to drive into the city center.The demonstrations come days before Dutch voters go to the polls in provincial elections Wednesday that indirectly also elect the national parliament’s upper house and could have an effect on proposals for reducing nitrate pollution.Rotterdam broadcaster Rijnmond showed video of a convoy of tractors crossing the city’s Erasmus Bridge early Saturday, apparently on their way to The Hague. One of the t...

Clocks across Canada to jump forward, but U.S. could consign time change to history

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:56:45 GMT

VANCOUVER — Most Canadians will wind their clocks forward an hour tonight, but legislation in the United States that could put an end to the seasonal time change is also moving ahead.U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio last week reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act that would allow states to make daylight time permanent.If passed, the law would have knock-on effects across Canada with provinces including British Columbia and Ontario waiting on neighbouring U.S. states to ditch the time change before they do so too.B.C. Premier David Eby says the province wants to remain “in sync” with West Coast American states and he’s “very much looking forward to getting rid of daylight saving time.”The U.S. bill, first proposed in 2018, has repeatedly failed to get through both chambers of Congress, and last March it stalled in the House without a vote.University of British Columbia business professor Werner Antweiler says the latest version of the bill has bipartisan backing...

OMAR HARFOUCH IN ITALIAN PARLIAMENT: "I FIGHT FOR MY DAUGHTER AND THE CHILDREN OF LEBANON, THE LEBANESE REPUBLIC NEEDS LIBERAL REFORMS

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:56:45 GMT

 Rome, 09 Mar 2023 - The Chamber of Deputies has held a conference of Lebanese politician Omar Harfouch, hosted by Hon. Roberto Bagnasco and organized by the Milton Friedman Institute, on the situation in Lebanon and the need for reform of the country's political and constitutional system."We, as the Friedman Institute, particularly wanted to promote this conference in order to highlight what is happening in a country very close to us, especially since we share the same sea and many issues that come from the Middle East and pass through Lebanon, and then come to Italy, as we have also seen recently with respect to immigration. At last a political figure is proposing a liberal state, so much so that he wants to reform it institutionally in a radical way" – said the conference’s moderator and Executive Director of the Milton Friedman Institute Alessandro Bertoldi."Lebanon needs a non-denominational elective system that guarantees greater representativeness and freedom for Lebanese cit...

Miss Manners: My mom gives me clothes for her fantasy of my life

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:56:45 GMT

DEAR MISS MANNERS: My mother cannot recognize the realities of my life. My husband lost his job four years ago; we eke by with thoughtful spending and renting out our guest room.I work overtime whenever I can, so we can have little luxuries like a streaming service subscription and quality food for our pets.My mother is fully aware of our situation, and though she has given us cash in the past, she prefers to buy me clothes for “stepping out.” These clothes are definitely more her taste than mine (plus, she knows we never go out). She includes a gift receipt so the clothes can be returned, but often only for a gift card at a store I would normally never shop at because they don’t carry anything I need.Returning the clothes involves spending hours of my scarce free time taking a bus (we don’t have a car), hauling awkward boxes and then scouring the store for ways to spend the credit. All the while, I’m thinking, “That could have bought a month̵...

Dear Abby: Should I tell what my friend is doing with the GoFundMe money?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:56:45 GMT

DEAR ABBY: My friend’s house was severely damaged in a hurricane and she lost a lot of the contents. Mind you, she was one of the lucky ones. Others in her community lost everything.One of her friends started a GoFundMe account to help with repair costs, and it is now up to thousands of dollars.My problem with this is: She’s now on her third trip to Europe this year. She constantly spends money, has thousands of dollars in credit card debt and tells me she’s broke. Granted, two of the trips were partly funded by her partner.Normally, she would post details about her trips on social media, but this time she’s not. Instead, she’s posting pictures of her house construction and implying that she’s there.I’ve considered outing her on social media, but I decided against doing that. I just can’t get beyond what she’s doing and don’t think I can continue my friendship. Am I justified?FULL DISCLOSURE IN FLORIDADEAR FULL DISCLOSURE: ...
