De-risking: Alternative stratégique ou multiplication de risques ?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:10:23 GMT

En moins de deux mois, le mot « de-risking » est devenu viral dans la sphère géopolitique. Passé de l’anonymat à l’omniprésence, et approuvé lors d’un sommet du G7, il est considéré comme une inflexion majeure dans la manière dont l’Europe définit les défis posés par la Chine. Un débat qui est pourtant loin de faire consensus, écrit Yi Da (Observateur des relations internationales et sino-européennes).Pour y voir clair, il est essentiel de comprendre l’enjeu qui sous-tend ce nouveau terme et d’en avoir une vision juste.Le spectre de la méfiance derrière le « de-risking »Quand on parle de « de-risking », on fait a priori allusion à la dépendance économique de l’Europe par rapport à la Chine, une situation préoccupante aux yeux des Européens, qui s’engagent désormais à rendre leurs chaînes d’approvisionnement plus résilientes. Un choix bien compréhensible, mais à relativiser tout de même.En effet, un rapport européen montre que moins de 1% des importations européen...

Putting on Apple's $3,500 new VR headset, called Vision Pro, is like stepping into the future.I was taken by surprise because at first, it looked a lot like the room I was in. Then, the words "Hello" were being written in 3D, hanging in the space in front of me.It was at this moment where I smiled and realized the world has changed, once again.Follow Tech Reporter Rich DeMuro on Instagram!Soon, I was placing virtual Safari, iMessage and other computing windows in the space around me. I could resize them as big or as small as I wanted, and they just hang there.Actually doing work in these windows might be another story, as I wasn't able to do much more than scroll through some text on a webpage or watch a message arrive. I brought up an on-screen keyboard which floated in front of me.The device requires no physical controllers. You use your eyes to "look" at a button you want to hit, then pinch your fingers ever so slightly together to select it. It worked flawlessly for the most par...

California skate park named for Black driver fatally beaten during traffic stop

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:10:23 GMT

Officials dedicated a California skate park Sunday in honor of Tyre Nichols, a Black man who spent much of his youth in the state and was killed last January in what prosecutors said was a fatal beating by police in Tennessee during a traffic stop.An avid skateboarder, Nichols spent much time as a youth at the park on the outskirts of Sacramento. City officials and others held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newly renovated skate park now named for Nichols.Nichols moved to Memphis, Tennessee, shortly before the coronavirus pandemic and lived there with his mother and stepfather. He enjoyed photography — especially taking photos of landscapes and sunsets.“Photography helps me look at the world in a more creative way. It expresses me in ways I cannot write down for people,” Nichols wrote on his website showcasing his photos.Sacramento City Councilwoman Lisa Kaplan, right, consoles Tyre Nichols' mother RowVaughn Wells, left, at the ribbon cutting celebration for the Tyre Nichols Skat...

Farewell Festival Season! A Look Back at Cruel World, BeachLife and More

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:10:23 GMT

The term “festival season” has become a bit of an eye-roller thanks to soulless branding, culture vulture commodification and overzealous hashtaggery, but the abundance of Spring flings the past couple of months has made the concept a very real and restless reality. Coachella kicked off outdoor flocking in April, and in its (literal) dust came a manic May filled with choice all-day happenings that Millenials, Gen-Xers and their elders found themselves having to mentally and physically prepare for. Gen-Z kids were more than ready since last year’s fest flurry, bless ‘em.But first we all had to acquire tickets, which meant enduring online waiting rooms and exorbitant processing fees (special thanks to The Cure’s Robert Smith for fighting the good fight for fans against Ticketmaster). Then we needed to get “festival ready”– and we’re not talking about fashion or fitness. The heat; the trek; the traffic; the pricey merch and food; the set time conflicts; and the overall prodigious...

Thousands of Reddit communities go dark to protest company’s controversial new policy

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:10:23 GMT

By Brian Fung | CNNThousands of Reddit forums are going dark Monday in one of the largest user-driven protests ever to hit the social media platform.The voluntary blackouts, which restrict groups’ content from being publicly visible, affect Reddit’s largest online communities, including popular groups devoted to music, history, sports, and video games. The protests include more than two dozen subreddits with at least 10 million subscribers, as well as thousands of smaller networks.Monday’s protests reflect widespread outrage over a Reddit plan to charge millions of dollars in fees for some third-party apps to continue accessing the platform. The plan has already forced several of Reddit’s top app-makers to announce they are shutting down because they cannot afford the new costs, which are set to begin as soon as next month.The confrontation between Reddit’s corporate management and its users and developers marks a turning point for the platform as it reportedly looks to go public la...
