PHILADELPHIA — Drivers began longer commutes Monday after an elevated section of Interstate 95 collapsed in Philadelphia a day earlier following damage caused by a tanker truck carrying flammable cargo catching fire.Sunday’s fire closed a heavily traveled segment of the East Coast’s main north-south highway indefinitely.

De-risking: Alternative stratégique ou multiplication de risques ?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:18:10 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...

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.
