This is irresponsible framing. The words "helped" and "provided" imply that Proton did this voluntarily, but they were required under Swiss law. I don't hear any information to indicate that they could have done anything differently.
You should clarify this. You're misrepresenting.
I love @404media.co but this framing misses the mark imho. @proton.meβs privacy protections are industry leading. But they operate I a jurisdiction and are required to follow the law. Which means that anonymity canβt be guaranteed if you pay by CC. Precisely the reason Proton supports cash payments

Time series chart showing the fraction of new car sales by year that are electric for China and selected other countries.
China knows the liability that oil import dependencies create, and how to play the long game.
New car sales in China have gone from 6% electric in 2020 to 51% electric in 2025.
This is large-scale industrial policy in service of national security goals.
Mass surveillance and autonomous killing should be uncontroversial red lines. Thanks #Anthropic for standing up.

This is a good take
You know, it's funny. Earlier this week I had started to write a follow up to my "Fascism For First Time Founders" post that tried to explain to Silicon Valley how embracing fascists would destroy innovation... but now I need to spend the weekend rewriting the whole thing with a new Exhibit A.
The new season of Silicon Valley is a bit too on the nose
@anthropic.com being threatened for objecting against Claude being used for mass surveillance and autonomous killing (!) is one thing (kudos to them!). But also important to note that OpenAI, XAI, and Google did not.
Anthropic doesnβt want its AI used in autonomous weapons or government surveillance. Those carve-outs could cost it a major military contract.

From Feb 16β27, 2026, builders of all experience levels can compete for π° cash bounties, explore open projects, and connect with the quantum open-source community.
Sufs national day of action to take back our science health and democracy. Dc and nationwide on March 7th

AMS is deeply concerned by the repeal of EPAβs 2009 Endangerment Finding, which concluded greenhouse gas emissions harm health and well-being. The science remains clear: human-caused climate change is already causing harmful impacts.
Read the full statement: https://bit.ly/4tBwz9w
Thanks to the American Meteorological Society @ametsoc.org for their responsible statement in response to the harmful decision of the USA to rescind the EPA endangerment finding. www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-am...
Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."
Itβs probably safer than raw bear though
kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them
New post from my colleagues on the AWS Quantum Computing blog - use hints from quantum algorithms to help classical computers solve hard βbest combinationβ problems more efficiently, by updating related decisions together instead of one at a time

This is murder. Everybody can see it.
This week, multiple leaders from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were ousted or resigned due to continued political interference and pressure to limit vaccine access β actions that defy the scientific evidence and endanger our health. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Massive walkout underway at CDC.
RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

Welcome to #AmazonBraket, IQM Emerald! 54 qubits, 99.5% 2Q fidelity, dynamic circuits. Super excited to see this live! aws.amazon.com/blogs/quantu...

Just wrapped an exciting capstone project at UW's Quantum Technologies program! Students used Amazon Braket + NVIDIA's new CUDA-Q Dynamics to simulate quantum systems in diamond (NV centers)
This is the first time seeing CUDA-Q Dynamics on AWS

@mcbride.house.gov I just wanted to say, this was a very beautiful and inspiring conversation with Ezra Klein.
