Nous sommes le 6 mai 1937, à Lakehurst, près de New-York. Après une traversée de l'Atlantique, en deux jours, au départ de Francfort, l'Hindenburg, gigantesque dirigeable, fierté du régime nazi, laisse entrevoir sa silhouette dans le ciel. Les conditions météo sont incertaines, l'aéronef a du retard, mais le public américain est venu en masse saluer l'exploit. Soudain, en quelques secondes, la coque prend feu en touchant le mât d'amarrage. Il ne faut que quelques minutes pour que l'incendie se propage aux flancs de 245 mètres de long, remplis de 200 000 m3 d'hydrogène. Dans la nacelle, sous, la coque, c'est l'affolement. Sur les 97 personnes, passagers et hommes d'équipage, 35 périssent dans des conditions atroces sous l'œil des caméras mobilisées pour l'événement. Le Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg en était à son 63e vol commercial et à sa vingtième traversée de l'Atlantique.

Hydrogen might just be the molecule "closest to God," as this element sits precisely on the razor-thin border where raw cosmic energy condenses into physical matter. But what happens when you take this cosmic ghost molecule, supercharge it with bioavailable electrons, and introduce it to a modern biological system? What happens when the fundamental building block of the universe meets a human body working to overcome the vascular strain, metabolic stress, and environmental tax of modern life?We aren't just talking about a gas today. We are talking about the fourth state of water, a selective antioxidant capable of rewriting cellular communication, and an independent inventor who has spent decades unlocking its secrets. George Wiseman is the visionary creator of the AquaCure device (which I started using recently). He has dedicated his life to pioneering Brown's Gas for human longevity, vitality, and cellular optimization.05:01 What really happened to the Hindenburg?10:39 Hydrogen - The essential macronutrient14:33 Hydrogen - Mitochondrial fuel16:13 Is there such a thing as too much Hydrogen?19:18 Is Hydrogen safe?24:41 History of the AquaCure36:12 The molecule "closest to God"38:41 Water memory43:22 Drinking hydrogen water54:27 Monoatomic hydrogen55:41 The science of Brown's Gas59:06 Biohacker review of the AquaCure01:04:30 The evidence for the AquaCure01:13:58 About the AquaCure: Guarantee and Warranty01:21:12 Ongoing experimentationRead

Den 6 maj 1937 är luftskeppet Hindenburg på väg att landa, när en brand bryter ut i aktern. En halv minut senare har farkosten förvandlats till aska. Vad var det som egentligen hände?

Después de derrotar a los alemanes en Amiens, los aliados necesitan encontrar una manera de atravesar la Línea Hindenburg, la última línea de defensa del ejército alemán.

Javier Alfayate analiza hoy un mercado que viene protagonizado por una corrección en el sector tecnológico. Tras meses de subidas, parece que se ha vuelto a activar la conocida “señal de Hindenburg”, un indicador técnico que aparece cuando el mercado registra simultáneamente nuevos máximos y nuevos mínimos. Esto refleja una pérdida de amplitud y una menor participación en las subidas. En otras palabras, los índices continúan avanzando, pero cada vez son menos los valores que sostienen ese movimiento, una divergencia que suele interpretarse como una señal de debilidad interna. Aunque el escenario continúa siendo alcista, Alfayate considera que estamos asistiendo al inicio de una corrección de corto plazo. Ante esta situación, recomienda reducir exposición y aumentar las coberturas, situando la inversión neta en torno al 62,5%, frente al 75% que defendía semanas atrás. El objetivo es proteger las carteras sin abandonar completamente un mercado que sigue manteniendo una tendencia positiva. Alfayate sigue viendo oportunidades en el sector financiero tanto en Europa como en Estados Unidos. La banca continúa mostrando fortaleza relativa frente a otros segmentos del mercado. Por el contrario, pide especial cautela con la tecnología, donde considera que el Nasdaq podría afrontar una corrección de entre el 10% y el 15%, e incluso superior si aumenta la presión vendedora. La preocupación se extiende también a las “7 Magníficas”, que han liderado las subidas de los últimos años. Según explica, varias de ellas están rompiendo referencias técnicas importantes, como la media móvil alcista de 30 semanas. Si estos niveles no consiguen recuperarse rápidamente, podría iniciarse una fase bajista de mayor recorrido. Compañías como Microsoft, Alphabet o Meta ya han mostrado señales de debilidad en las últimas sesiones, mientras que otras como Netflix mantienen una tendencia menos favorable desde hace tiempo. Para el analista, la pérdida de liderazgo de estos gigantes tecnológicos constituye una de las principales advertencias que actualmente está lanzando el mercado.

Nick Lloyd. Guest Nick Lloyd delves into the German high command, highlighting the psychological burden on Helmuth von Moltke the Younger, who felt inadequate compared to his famous uncle. Moltke's lack of nerve led him to fatally alter the Schlieffen Plan's right wing, eventually causing his nervous breakdown as the invasion stalled. Lloyd describes Kaiser Wilhelm II as an inconsistent "weather vane" who lacked a day-to-day commanding role, eventually being overshadowed by the rising popularity of Hindenburg and Ludendorff. The narrative then shifts to Erich von Falkenhayn, the Prussian Minister of War who orchestrated the attritional Verdun offensive. Falkenhayn's unique focus on killing the enemy rather than gaining territory reflected a cold, ruthless approach to the "cauldron of war." Lloyd also notes the internal German struggle over unrestricted submarine warfare, where tactical effectiveness often overrode vital diplomatic and strategic considerations, contributing to Germany's failure to translate battlefield success into a lasting strategic victory. 21914

Desastres naturales Desde huracanes y tsunamis devastadores hasta terremotos, inundaciones e incendios: estos son los desastres naturales más mortíferos jamás registrados. Explosiones Una sola chispa puede desatar la tragedia. Desde la tragedia del Hindenburg hasta la violenta erupción del Krakatoa en 1883, estas explosiones figuran entre las más letales de la Historia.

Please accept my apologies that this episode sounds a bit hollow.  I am having problems with Hindenburg, my audio processing software and their support has been very unsupportive.  I'm working to get the audio issue fixed.   In this episode, we're flipping the script to explore the reasonable expectations players should have of their GMs. We're breaking down why the DM screen is an honor, not a crown, and discussing the three essential pillars of a great game.  Give this episode a listen!   #rpg #ttrpg #dnd #pathfinder #gmtips #playertips Resources: Buy Me a Coffee! - ko-fi.com/taking20podcast www.taking20podcast.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/taking20podcast  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/taking20podcast

Frank welcomes Logan from Luminary Lighthouse for his debut on the show, and the topic is the lost age of the rigid airship. The Hindenburg is the spine of the conversation: a luxury hotel in the sky that could circumnavigate the globe without refueling, that carried tens of thousands of passengers without a single injury before May 1937, and that died in a few televised minutes in Lakehurst. Why did one disaster end an entire industry every major country had invested in? Whose timeline got rewritten that day? From there it goes deeper. The Empire State Building topped with what was clearly designed as a Zeppelin mooring mast. The Waldorf Astoria built in three years and torn down after thirty two. Frank pushes back on some of Logan's old world theories while running toward others, and they land on world's fairs as previews of timelines we were never permitted to reach. In the second hour Frank watches a fresh deep dive on NEOM, the Saudi Arabian Line that has quietly scaled back from 170 kilometers to 2.4, with tens of thousands of workers living in unmarked desert camps. Lost futures, and the futures we got instead.

Every history class taught you the same thing — that World War One generals were butchers. Incompetent men in châteaux, sipping wine while sending millions to die in the mud. But what if that story is only half true? In this episode, we cut through the myth and rank the greatest generals of World War One — the commanders who didn't just follow orders, but genuinely outthought, outfought, and outmanoeuvred the enemy. We set strict criteria for what makes a general truly great, and the results might surprise you. We start with Alexei Brusilov, whose 1916 offensive on the Eastern Front remains one of the most brilliantly executed campaigns in military history — the only major Russian success of the war. Then we head to Gallipoli, where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk — the only Ottoman general to achieve anything meaningful during the conflict — became a legend that would shape an entire nation. Moving to the Middle East, Edmund Allenby masterminded the Palestine campaign, delivering one of the few clear-cut Allied victories of the war. On the Western Front, John Monash transformed the Australian Corps into arguably the most effective fighting force of 1918, with the Battle of Hamel as his masterpiece. His Canadian counterpart, Arthur Currie, rose from the bottom rung of a pre-war militia to lead the Canadian Corps through the Hundred Days Offensive with surgical precision. Meanwhile, the infamous duo of Hindenburg and Ludendorff dominated German strategy — brilliant operationally, catastrophic strategically. And then there's the most extraordinary story of the entire war: Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, who led a tiny German colonial force in East Africa on a four-year guerrilla campaign that tied down hundreds of thousands of Allied troops and never surrendered — not once. Who truly deserves the title of the greatest general of the Great War?

A version of this essay has been published by Open Magazine at https://openthemagazine.com/world/india-will-collapse-without-digital-sovereignty-and-pax-indica-lessons-from-hormuzBy now it is clear that the Iran War (or West Asia War) has been a disaster to all concerned, including the principals as well as assorted passersby. The massive amounts spent by the US (at last count $25 billion) are at least articulated; the bill for the enormous infrastructural and human suffering inflicted on Gulf states, in the theater of war, must be greater, by definition.The collateral damages suffered by the rest of the world from the cessation of trade through the Straits of Hormuz will presumably run into the trillions of dollars. As one of the worst affected, India, which imports 90% of its hydrocarbons from the Gulf, not to mention other essential items such as urea (for fertilizer), sulfuric acid, helium, etc., is on track to take a massive hit. As an article in The Economic Times said, “India must brace for broad-based economic shock”.Indian exports of up to $50 billion are also affected, especially agricultural products including perishable foodstuffs, but also gems and jewellery, electronics, textiles and garments. Some of this can be diverted via Oman and the UAE's Fujairah port, but much of it passes through the Straits of Hormuz and is potentially blocked and/or stranded at sea.The Hormuz closure is a body blow to India's economy. What can and will India do about it? The Indian State has a habit of rising to the challenge only when there is a crisis, while vegetating otherwise. The 1991 economic crisis is a case in point; the sanctions following “The Buddha is smiling”, and the denial of cryogenic rocket engines and supercomputers are other examples where the nation rallied. So were covid vaccines. Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention.Turning a threat into an opportunityIf I were to be an optimist, I could say that the current crisis is actually an opportunity. In fact, a major opportunity. My reading of the Iran War is that it is President Trump's strategic tit-for-tat against China for denying him rare earths and cutting off soybean purchases. In return Trump decided to deny China access to oil by closing access to Venezuela and Iran. Whether this will work, or whether the G2 condominium (read ‘surrender') will prevail, is unclear.But that is, in a sense, background noise that needs to be managed. India needs to focus on its own issues, of which I see several as critical, and the solution in general is to become Atmanirbhar, self-reliant, and from that, to create an Anti-Fragile nation:* National security/defense* Food security* Energy security* Digital security/narrative control* Trade securityThe first three do not need an explanation: they are obvious. Internal and external security are pre-requisites for any successful society. If India's hard-won food security can be threatened by external threats, then there needs to be some deep introspection. Energy security means diversification, both of hydrocarbon sources, and of types of energy, including renewables, nuclear, biomass, coal-based, and so on.Malign narratives and digital sovereigntyNarrative control is something that the Indian State has failed at so far; it is laughably easy to create hate speech against Indians and India (as has been demonstrated freely by any number of players, starting from the MAGA crowd, to Audrey Truschke to a”Cockroach Janata Party” and some nitwit Norwegian journalist in just the last fortnight) and there are no consequences to the culprits. It's enough to make me pine for Lee Kuan Yew's aggressive legal battles against the media.It's one thing if it were only a problem with foreigners, but with the massive spread of social media, and in particular generativeAI, it is becoming a serious domestic issue. Since India is an avid consumer of social media, and because generativeAI is trained on things like Wikipedia, X, Whatsapp and Google content, biased and motivated material becomes ensconced as The Truth. I have written about narrative warfare and manufacturing consent.This used to be a one-way tsunami of (mis)-information by legacy media, but now there is also the opposite: the wholesale and free vacuuming-up of Indian data (whatever happened to “data is the new oil”?). The “Great Firewall of China” both kept out foreign BIg Tech applications and prevented their plundering Chinese data: is that the way to go?Manufactured narratives are intended for regime change: all the color revolutions today are hatched with massive bot-farms funded by some combination of Deep State, CCP, ISI, Qatar etc. (for example the alleged Gen-Z uprisings that rocked Nepal, drove Sheikh Hasina out of Bangladesh). Thus muzzling malign narratives, and ensuring data security, are imperative.Even Singapore is not immune: it had to block anti-India narratives that likely originated from Chinese sources.A particularly striking example of narrative warfare is the virtual hate speech inducted into Wikipedia by deeply prejudiced anonymous editors. Ashley Rindsberg, who exposed the mighty New York Times' biases in his book The Gray Lady Winked, provides many examples of this.Of note to Indians and Hindus is his recent substack titled “Wikipedia's India War” where he identifies just four editors as having created most of the content condemning the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) in ‘Wikivoice', i.e. the allegedly neutral perspective of Wikipedia. They are, on the contrary, shown to be highly one-sided.As Rindsberg mentions, Wikipedia being central to generativeAI, the damage is baked into the world-view of all AI applications. Truly Orwellian. Says Rindsberg: “four… anonymous accounts can have an enormous impact on what millions of people believe to be the truth.” “Over four years (2021-2025), editors systematically erased HAF's identity as an American civil rights group, transforming its Wikipedia page into a heavily curated dossier of accusations.”Trade, and how the Spice Route was far superior to the Silk RoadFinally, something that is becoming increasingly important: ensuring freedom of trade. This is more than just freedom of navigation, although I find it instructive that Emperor Rajendra Chola sent a huge fleet 1,001 years ago simply to open up the Straits of Malacca. India can make an active attempt to regain primacy in Indian Ocean trade, the whole Pax indica idea.Here is another example of the power of narrative: we have been led to believe that the Silk Road to China was some major highway of commerce between ancient Rome and ancient China, but it was a term coined only in 1877 by the German Ferdinand von Richthofen. There was no highway. A large caravan might take six months, and with 500 camels traversing treacherous deserts and braving bandits, it might carry a maximum of 100 tons. That is puny.In comparison, on the Spice Route, a single stitched ship from Muziris could carry 400 tons of ivory, pepper, silk, tigers and elephants; and the historian Strabo around 1 CE talks about fleets of 250 ships going from Alexandria to India on a six-week monsoon-powered journey. That is 100,000 tons of merchandise. No wonder Pliny the Elder complained that Rome's treasuries were being emptied of gold by India.Simple question: where are hoards of ancient Roman coins found in Asia? Answer: not along the Silk Road. The hoards are in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka.Today, it is possible for India to aspire to port-led development of trade, especially with the major ports at Trivandrum (Vizhinjam), Maharashtra (Vadhavan), and Great Nicobar (Galathea Bay). The underlying ‘software' of India's millennia-old trade competency was a ‘multi-protocol switch' as I pointed out, and today's India Stack can replicate that. Then there is the need for a blue-water navy: muscle to provide security on the Hormuz to Malacca sea-lanes.So there is a vision. How can India get there? This is where policy matters, as I discussed with policy expert Anuj Gupta. Policy, especially industrial policy, has had a bad reputation in certain circles because it was deemed to violate the virginal purity of classical capitalism. However, in a recent U-turn, even the World Bank admitted that industrial policy may not be all that bad, after all: the success of Japan, the Asian Tigers, and China can't be ignored.That leads to the question of why policy in India has produced mediocre outcomes, what is different now, and where the best use of policy might be.Industrial Policy: What went wrong in the past?There are many problems here. To begin with, the Soviet model, which Nehruvians swore by, was, in hindsight, a dead end. Second, there is the problem of governance: post-Independence bureaucrats have awkwardly borne the legacy of imperial hauteur and the needs of a developing society. Third, until recently, the bare necessities (food, electricity, road access) were not available to many citizens, and GDP growth was not their priority.There is also the culture of jugaad: of clever ways in which you overcome constraints through frugal improvisation and seat-of-the-pants making-do. This is fine for one-off things (e.g. converting a tractor trailer into a makeshift transport vehicle because your truck broke down), but it does not make for efficient and replicable industrial products. As The Economic Times said recently, it is time to junk jugaad. Quality has to become ingrained in people's minds.The issue of governance is significant: the bureaucracy and the judiciary have both under-performed, politicians, as everywhere, have been venal. It is said that China's growth can be attributed to the fact that its babus are engineers, and therefore with engineering ruthlessness move in straight lines. The US' babus are lawyers, and India's are humanities graduates. Well, engineers are not very good at second-order effects (eg. China's lurch from one-child policy to demographic collapse), but a little bit of ruthlessness is probably good.What is going reasonably well?There are a few modest success stories: for example, in electronics manufacturing or assembly. The PLIs (and DLIs) have produced the desired effort, with clusters of excellence where global suppliers have also set up shop (as they did earlier for the automobile industry in, say, Sriperumpudur). The fact that a lot of iPhones in the US are now imported from India is laudable, even though it may be derided as “screwdriver jobs”. That's where one starts the move up the value chain.The current semiconductor policy is a big hope, especially after the landmark agreement by the Dutch firm ASML with Tata Electronics in Dholera, Gujarat. Given that ASML has a near-monopoly position in Deep Ultraviolet Lithography (DUV) this is a major boost to India's chip ambitions. My recent conversation with AMD CTO Suraj Rengarajan went into India's chances to realize its ambitions.A recent announcement from Trivandrum-based fabless startup NetraSemi (a recipient of DLI) of the commercial availability of its edge AI chips is a landmark.Next is the newly announced plan for energy security revolving around both coal gasification and intensive offshore exploration. These fall squarely into the Atmanirbhar category: India simply cannot afford to have its energy held hostage by distant nations. It also needs distinctly Indian innovation.The Samudra Manthan initiative is also showing some promise. At least one out of three deep-water wells in the Andaman Sea (SriVijaya Puram-3) are reported to be showing the availability of natural gas, although it will take 5-10 years for this to be commercially available.What should the future look like for India's Industrial Policies?This of course is the hard question. Here is my personal perspective, and I accept that reasonable people may disagree. I think three areas need to be focused on, and will pay large dividends.* Drones and swarming software* Social media and AI stack* Maritime Trade and Blue-Water NavyI admit that these are not the only worthwhile industrial policies. Another is for copper, which would reverse the catastrophic effects of the closure of the Sterlite plant in Thoothukkudi, as the metal is an increasingly important component in electronics, data centers, etc., and far from being self-sufficient earlier, India now imports 50% of its needs. Another area of interest in quantum computing.There are also failures from which the right lessons need to be learned. The policy for EV batteries has apparently failed: according to Swarajya magazine, India has not been able to escape from near-total dependence on imported Chinese batteries.Drone swarmsI wrote recently that drones may well herald a step-change in warfare. For the moment, though, they are searching for their niche in offensive/defensive warfare. Drone hardware is already a well-trodden path with Chinese and other nations dominating it, although with IdeaForge, Paras, Garuda, IoTechworld Avigation etc., India is also making progress there. And India is indeed buying the hardware, $2 billion-worth, according to the Economic Times.But I believe the real game is in drone swarms. AI-based control software (similar to HiveMind) that would allow an entire swarm to act autonomously, just like a murmuration of starlings, would be the gold standard to aim for. Such a self-managing swarm would be virtually impossible to defend against, and I think India should put in place a PLI to support it, leveraging software capability in the country.Of course, drones are not just for military purposes, but also for commercial uses including things like logistics and agricultural use, such as precision delivery of fertilizer and pesticide to crops (as Garuda demonstrates). An Indian initiative that supports both drone hardware, and especially drone software, would be a potential winner.Digital Sovereignty: Social media and AI stackThere is a raging battle over which part of the AI stack India needs to invest in. As an old Unix hand, I believe the foundational model is not where the differentiation is. In analogy with Linux (the open-source Unix variant that was popularized by Linus Torvalds and an army of volunteers), there is little value in re-writing the operating system, but one can differentiate by building on top of it, or by judiciously choosing certain modules of it.Besides, the cost of building an entirely new foundational model would be astronomical and would consume the entire budget of IndiaAI Mission.Thus, my personal opinion is that the foundational model (especially when, it is believed, there are more or less open-source models available for free, e.g. Llama, DeepSeek) is not where India should expend its precious R&D resources, but on the layers of the stack above it. It is the data that matters, as Larry Ellison apparently suggests too.But there is the interesting counter-example of Sarvam AI which is producing its own sovereign model: multi-lingual and presumably otherwise tuned to Indian needs. The question is whether this can survive when hundreds of billions worth of capital investment are going to the US Big Tech companies and their Chinese rivals. The sad history of Koo, a Twitter rival, comes to mind. So does Arattai, a Whatsapp rival, whose popularity has waned. .A well-thought-through industrial policy on generativeAI is therefore essential. The status quo ante is unsustainable; given the fact that Sarvam has also found it difficult to raise funds in the US, it is worth pondering whether a China-style massive subsidy is the answer. And where should it go, into foundational models or into the layers of the stack above it? The answer is “both”, but with priority to the latter.Here is where I would prioritize investments, in order:* Vertical applications in specific domains: e.g. defense, healthcare, agriculture, governance (particularly in the judiciary and in ease of doing business in the bureaucracy)* Fine-tuning and customization: for the needs of the Indian context, e.g. multi-linguality under Bhashini* Compute infrastructure: GPUs, sovereign and protected indian datasets* Sovereign Small-Language Models such as Sarvam AIAs mentioned above, at the moment India's data is being sucked up for free by US Big Tech. In addition, there is the real danger that Indic Knowledge Systems will be mined and digested, as has happened to yoga, pranayama, etc., which have been given Western analogs and nomenclature, as in Pilates, ‘coherent breathing' etc.These two problems are connected, and both need to be tackled in parallel. Social media is being weaponized against India, and this is magnified by the legacy media in a positive feedback loop. Three examples: one was the rage against Adani based on the dubious research of Hindenburg, which then went under; the second is Bloomberg's reckless accusation about gold reserves being sold by the RBI, which they were forced to retract, but social media and Wikipedia will remember it; the third is the meteoric (media) rise of the Cockroach Janata Party.Trade using major ports, Digital Public Infrastructure and a blue water navyUsing trade for competitive advantage is an age-old tactic. The trade tiffs between the US and China are examples of this: we are witnessing war by other means. Many nations are getting into this act, and India does have some advantages, partly based on geography. Maritime trade is likely to continue to be the key, which makes naval chokepoints the big story, but not the only story to watch out for.The major aspects of maritime trade include infrastructure, the digital “multi-protocol switch”, and security. On the one hand, India is developing not only major container ports, and the road/rail links to get to them, and the industrial goods to ship out through them, but also a serious shipbuilding industry, which was one of India's historical strengths. Then it used to be stitched wooden ships (teak beams lashed together with coconut rope). Now it's modern steel ships.There are the big, efficient new ports, which can now turn ships around with Singapore-like efficiency; the proposed third aircraft carrier group which will make it possible to patrol the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal at the time; the Air-Independent Propulsion diesel submarines and nuclear submarines that can monitor (and if necessary, deny) narrow straits; the sale of supersonic Brahmos cruise missiles to the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia (and Cyprus) that create ship-denial zones: all this is muscle.And the final piece, the ‘software' for trade, the “multi-protocol switch”. This last is complicated. Its value is underestimated by many. But this is what enables friction-less transactions between various unrelated parties. The India Stack and the Digital Public Infrastructure can be utilized to provide such a facility. But it is complex enough to need significant study as to what is possible, and how to roll it out.Second-order effectsIn closing, it is worth considering some of what the (unintended) consequences of these proposals may be. Let us note that the G2 has no interest in allowing India to grow and make it a G3. They will do everything in their power to kneecap India, by all means possible.There is also a certain derision for India in some circles. Here is a generic western opinion on why China got rich, and India didn't. Well, the author doesn't consider the second-order effects of the wholesale destruction of Chinese civilization: that is a tradeoff Indians may not prefer for themselves. We all know how China's well-intentioned One Child Policy turned into demographic collapse within a few years. Besides, as The Economist asks, “China is innovative. Its economy is a mess. Which will win out?”This is why I think planning for these second-order effects is important. We tend to ignore them because they seem counterintuitive or unlikely, but Nassim Taleb has sensitized us to how low-probability Black Swan events can have grave consequences.As an example, attempting digital sovereignty may have unwelcome side-effects: Big Tech have the first-mover advantage and network effects and there are increasing returns to scale. They will surely make it hard for a new player to break in. Besides, the large investments in data centers and GCCs that they are making in India would make it very difficult for them to be ejected with a “Great Indian Firewall”.Even taxing their capture of Indian data will be complicated; not to mention that they have demonstrated that they can happily violate copyright laws with no consequence; therefore they will find ways to chew up and spit out Indian Knowledge Systems, and essentially re-colonize India. Digital colonialism is not a threat, it is a reality today, and it is a consequence of the relatively open Indian system.In addition, there is a malign group, the “barbarians within” as Arnold Toynbee once put it, who are ready to sacrifice Indian sovereignty for a pittance.Given all this, it will be very difficult to put in place serious measures to gain digital independence; and the narrative-peddling is likely to gain further momentum: just consider the caste allegations that have haunted BAPS in the US (despite the cases being dismissed by the US DoJ), the Cisco Systems case where, again, the case was dismissed, but the narrative continues, and the persistent efforts in various US states to turn caste into a weapon to bludgeon Indians.Another sensitive issue is that of the multi-protocol switch for trade. While from an Indian point of view, it eases trade and harks back to a Golden Age of Indic maritime commerce, but that will be viewed elsewhere very differently, for instance by the US as an attempt to de-dollarize. The US has jealousy guarded – with very good reasons that we will not go into here – the dollar's reserve currency status.We have also seen what happened to those who attempt to hurt the dollar's primacy: in 1985, the Plaza Accord devalued the dollar, and that was a body blow to Japan's economy, which has not recovered its mojo to this day. Later, Iraq's Saddam Hussein and Libya's Muammar Gaddafi both had ideas about replacing the petro-dollar with, respectively, the Euro and a new pan-African gold-backed currency. We know what happened to them.If the India Stack multi-protocol switch is perceived as an alternative to the US dollar, there may be grave consequences. Therefore, it should be conceived and deployed only as an adjunct to it and to the almighty SWIFT settlement system.ConclusionIndia is at a crossroads now. Even though the Hormuz closure is a serious problem, if it plays its cards right, adversity can be turned into opportunity across a variety of perspectives. The key is Atmanirbhar, self-reliance. If India can now implement a crash program of industrial policy, and at the same time overcome an ingrained Third-World tendency to cut corners, it can finally break free of the years of underperformance, what I called the Nehruvian Penalty in 2004.It is possible, but there are caveats: unforeseen consequences.

A las once y cuarenta y dos de la mañana del 6 de mayo de 1937, en un campo de aterrizaje de Lakehurst, Nueva Jersey, el dirigible más grande jamás construido estalló en llamas ante las cámaras de medio mundo. Noventa y siete personas iban a bordo del LZ 129 Hindenburg. Sesenta y dos consiguieron salir con vida de aquel infierno de aluminio, lona e hidrógeno. Las imágenes dieron la vuelta al planeta y, en apenas treinta y cuatro segundos que fue lo que tardó el zepelín en consumirse, se evaporó también la era de los dirigibles de pasajeros. Lo que casi nunca se cuenta, sin embargo, es la historia de lo que ocurrió antes de que la primera chispa saltara. El Hindenburg jamás debería haber despegado aquella mañana de Frankfurt. Las tormentas eléctricas llevaban horas merodeando la costa de Nueva Jersey, y tanto el comandante Max Pruss como el capitán Ernst Lehmann, que había hecho la ruta docenas de veces y conocía el Atlántico Norte como quien conoce el pasillo de su casa, tenían informes meteorológicos sobre la mesa que desaconsejaban la maniobra de aproximación. Pero el Hindenburg acumulaba más de doce horas de retraso, un pecado imperdonable para la aeronave insignia del régimen nazi. Los pasajeros esperaban en el hangar desde primera hora. Los periodistas llevaban allí desde antes del amanecer, con sus cámaras de placa y sus libretas recién estrenadas. La narrativa del vuelo triunfal ya estaba impresa en las mentes de todos, noticiarios, periódicos, autoridades portuarias... mucho antes de que el zepelín hubiera rozado siquiera la costa americana. Así que despegaron. No fueron las tormentas las que condenaron al Hindenburg, por mucho que el hidrógeno ardiera con una voracidad aterradora. Fue la incapacidad de defraudar a una audiencia que ya había comprado el final feliz antes de que el despegue ocurriera. Fue lo que en alemán se llama Termindruck: esa presión invisible, casi atmosférica, que te obliga a cumplir un plazo incluso cuando cada instinto, cada mapa meteorológico y cada maldita nube en el horizonte te está gritando que esperes un poco más, que no hay prisa, que mañana también amanecerá. Esta semana, en Actualidad Semanal +D, hemos dedicado el episodio entero a preguntarnos si los mercados financieros no estarán, precisamente ahora, en una de esas mañanas de junio en las que todo el mundo ha comprado ya el final feliz mientras el barómetro baja en silencio y nadie quiere ser el aguafiestas que señale las nubes. Hemos visto el debut bursátil más grande de la historia, un espectáculo de valoraciones, titulares y fervor popular que tenía que ocurrir porque la narrativa llevaba meses cocinándose y el retraso no era una opción. Hemos visto a gigantes tecnológicos presentar resultados impecables para ser castigados con saña por el mercado, como si la excelencia ya no bastara y hubiera que pedir perdón por el precio del futuro. Y hemos visto, sobre todo, cómo los que venden el cemento (los discretos, los que jamás protagonizan un titular pero facturan sin pausa cada vez que un visionario anuncia una catedral de silicio) siguen ganando dinero como si hubieran encontrado un impuesto privado sobre la ambición humana. No voy a reventar el episodio adelantando sus conclusiones, porque los spoilers son una falta de respeto y porque la gracia está en el viaje, no en la estación de destino. Solo diré que en el programa de esta semana conviven, en extraña armonía, un cohete que vale más que el PIB de Suiza, un trillonario que no puede tocar su fortuna hasta el verano que viene, dos directivos que abandonan un barco en plena tormenta, una sopa centenaria que acaba de ser expulsada del S&P 500 por carecer de glamour algorítmico, y una pregunta que planea sobre cada sección como un zepelín silencioso: si todo el mundo está convencido de que esta vez es diferente, si el consenso es unánime y el fervor popular roza lo religioso, ¿hay alguien en la cabina de mando mirando el barómetro? Escúchalo. Luego hablamos, que de eso se trata. Disponible en todas las mejores plataformas.

Human curiosity drives discovery, invention, and progress. But the same instinct that helps us learn can also put us in danger. Why do people keep looking when they should look away?________________________________________Curiosity built civilizations.It helped create science, medicine, aviation, exploration, and countless discoveries that improved human life.But curiosity has a shadow side.In this episode of An Ounce, we explore how the same instinct that pushes us toward understanding can also lead us into danger. From childhood lessons and the Hindenburg disaster to real-world experiences as a first responder, this story examines why curiosity needs more than enthusiasm—it needs judgment.Sometimes the desire to know becomes stronger than the desire to stay safe.And sometimes "just one look" becomes a problem.________________________________________COMPANION EPISODE RECOMMENDATIONThe Night We Counterattacked Venus — A True Storyhttps://youtu.be/n_xTQIBBaqMWhy:Both episodes explore what happens when human beings act before they fully understand the larger system around them.In The Dangerous Side of Curiosity, people pursue answers without always recognizing the risks.In The Night We Counterattacked Venus, people attempted to solve a problem while operating with incomplete understanding of the consequences.Both stories examine a familiar human pattern:The desire to know, fix, or improve something before fully understanding what happens next.________________________________________If you enjoy stories about hidden consequences, human behavior, and looking beyond the obvious, consider subscribing.#Curiosity #HumanBehavior #Psychology #History #AnOuncePodcast________________________________________CHAPTERS00:00 Curiosity's Good Reputation00:30 Curiosity's Questions01:09 Curiosity: Innocence and Temptation02:09 The Hindenburg: Curiosity and Innovation make a misstep.03:12 The Coin Has Two Sides03:28 A First Responder's Lesson03:36 The Accident After the Accident04:01 Curiosity Versus Wisdom04:44 An Ounce________________________________________REFERENCESHindenburg Disaster – Background and historical informationhttps://www.britannica.com/event/Hindenburg-disasterNational Air and Space Museum – Hindenburg history and aviation contexthttps://airandspace.si.eduNational Transportation Safety Board – Traffic safety and distracted driving informationhttps://www.ntsb.gov

(5) Timothy Ryback recounts how the November 1932 defeat leaves the Nazi Party in a state of gloom, leading many to believe Hitler is "washed up." However, political desperation drives Franz von Papen to reach out to Hitler, hoping to salvage his own unpopular chancellorship by forming a new alliance. Hindenburg meets with Hitler a second time in a congenial but ultimately fruitless exchange of war stories. Internal party tensions escalate as Gregor Strasser advocates for conciliation while hardliners like Goebbels demand total power, leading to Hitler's infamous "nightshirt" scene where he was pulled off a train in Jena by his own lieutenants.1939

(1) Timothy Ryback describes how on August 13, 1932, Adolf Hitler meets President Paul von Hindenburg in Berlin. Despite the Nazis holding 37% of the electorate, Hindenburg refuses to grant Hitler the chancellorship, offering instead a secondary role in a coalition government. Hitler, an "all or nothing" leader, flatly rejects the offer, insisting on total control. Hindenburg, a statuesque Prussian aristocrat, disdains Hitler as a "Bohemian corporal" and fears his divisive, radical politics. This pivotal refusal marks the beginning of intense political manipulation as Hitler vows to besiege the state rather than be a prisoner within it.1910 GERMANY

(8) Timothy Ryback recounts how on January 30, 1933, Hitler is finally summoned to become Chancellor. The appointment hinges on a frantic, last-minute negotiation in Hindenburg's foyer with media mogul Alfred Hugenberg, who reluctantly joins the coalition after being cornered by Göring and Papen. Hugenberg immediately regrets the decision, realizing he has made the "biggest mistake" of his life. The resulting government photograph captures a stunned cabinet and an angry-looking Hitler. The era of political "hustling" ends as Hitler consolidates power, eventually murdering former rivals, including Strasser and Schleicher, during the 1934 Night of the Long Knives.1936?

(7) Timothy Ryback describes how on January 28, 1933, the political crisis peaks as Kurt von Schleicher confronts Hindenburg, requesting martial law to stabilize the disintegrating Nazi threat. Hindenburg, increasingly stubborn and weary of Schleicher's manipulations, dismisses him instead. The aging President asserts his authority, refusing to be dictated to by the military or political factions. He secretly appoints Werner von Blomberg as Minister of Defense to secure the army's loyalty. Though Hindenburg continues to disdain Hitler, he finds himself out of options, having exhausted every alternative to prevent a total collapse of the constitutional order.1940 BERLIN

(3) Timothy Ryback explains how, following Hitler's refusal to join a coalition, the Nazis adopt a strategy of "obstructionist politics" to paralyze the Reichstag. With 230 seats, they create a legislative gridlock, preventing any laws from passing and forcing Hindenburg to rule by emergency decree. Joseph Goebbels famously remarks that democracy provides its mortal enemies with the tools for its own destruction. Meanwhile, Hermann Göring serves as Reichstagpresident, utilizing his status as a war hero and social elite to bridge the gap between Hitler's movement and Berlin's high society while working to dismantle the democratic system.1940 BERLIN

La noche de Cope repasa hitos de la aviación. En 1911, Henri Pequet realiza el primer vuelo postal en la India con 6.000 cartas, un servicio que antes se hacía en globos y que se regulariza en EE. UU. en 1918. Hoy, el correo aéreo se integra en la carga general. Amelia Earhart, pionera, es la primera mujer en cruzar el Atlántico en solitario en 1932. En 1937, su avión desaparece en el Pacífico durante su intento de dar la vuelta al mundo, generando una búsqueda masiva. Su legado inspira a muchas mujeres. Los zeppelines, dirigibles de lujo creados en 1900, se usan militarmente en la Primera Guerra Mundial para bombardear Londres de noche, causando pánico y víctimas. El incendio del Hindenburg en 1937 finaliza su era comercial. El Concorde, avión supersónico, reduce a la mitad el tiempo de vuelo entre París y Nueva York. Su estructura se dilata hasta 30 centímetros en vuelo por el calor. El 25 de julio de 2000, un accidente en París, causado por una placa metálica en la pista, provoca ...

En agosto de 1914, mientras Europa asistía al inicio de la Gran Guerra, el Imperio ruso lanzó una gran ofensiva sobre Prusia Oriental con la intención de aliviar la presión alemana sobre Francia. Lo que parecía una amenaza capaz de poner en jaque al Reich terminó convirtiéndose en una de las derrotas más contundentes de la Primera Guerra Mundial. En realidad, la batalla pendió de un hilo, pero el nuevo mando alemán en la zona logró explotar la mala coordinación rusa y su falta de información sobre el terreno. En este episodio analizamos una batalla decisiva que encumbró a Hindenburg y Ludendorff y cambió el curso de la campaña en el Frente Oriental, y tal vez en el occidental.

The European Union is many things: an economic powerhouse, an improbably successful peace project, or a bureaucratic hellscape, depending on who you ask. Most people would probably agree on one thing that it isn't: funny. So when Susanna Kierkegaard set out to write Sweden's first genuinely entertaining book about the EU, many might have dismissed the idea as a fool's errand. And yet she has somehow pulled it off. This week, we call up Susanna to share some of the best bits from her book Superstaten : EU och framtiden, from the MEP who expensed 250 kilograms of chocolate to the Italian whose unpaid electricity bills changed the course of European law. Susanna is a columnist for Aftonbladet.

The predictions began soon after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine: the collapse of the Russian economy was imminent. Four years later, it still hasn't happened. And yet, the cracks are appearing: Ukrainian drones that are now capable of striking critical targets in Moscow; economic data that even the Kremlin can't spin as positive. But what do these changes actually feel like for Russian citizens? This week, Wojciech calls people with friends and family in Moscow to find out.

En 1937, un géant des airs survole la côte Est des États-Unis : le Hindenburg, dirigeable de luxe de la marque Zeppelin, réservé à une clientèle privilégiée. Symbole de prouesse technique et de modernité, il entame sa manœuvre d'atterrissage lorsqu'un incendie spectaculaire le transforme en torche géante.

 Sometimes they aim big. A comic. A cartoon. A toyline. Video games. And sometimes that crashes like the Hindenburg. Failed Franchises! That’s what the boys are talking about this week. A slew of bad comics, mediocre toys and forgettable films. Some of them even had an ok aspect, but they just aimed too high. From Jim Lee’s Wildcats, to Warren Beatty’s Dick Tracy and a few other gems (or crystals) in the mix. Crystar the Crystal Warrior and Bucky O’ Hare anyone? And somehow we talk about Glenn Danzig and Billy Zane because why the hell not!?!? Direct Download: MP3

Hard to believe we haven't covered this one yet, but here we are. Why did the Hindenburg crash and burn? We still don't really know.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vinyl records, coffee table books, low-maintenance pot plants: from Dublin to Dubrovnik, all good hipsters have the same stuff. The Italian writer Vincenzo Latronico captures this boring international aesthetic beautifully in his hit novel ‘Perfection', while skewering millennial life in general. Do you like hearing about Lisbon food, the internet vs real life, and everything that's wrong with the word ‘expat'? Then you'll love our inaugural book club conversation, even if you haven't read the book. We're also talking this week about a fugitive Polish politician's transatlantic dash, and the questionable Frenchness of a celebrated giraffe.

‘Art and politics can totally be separated!' said no one ever – apart from the organisers of the Venice Biennale, a.k.a. the Olympics of the art world. This week we're diving into the fallout from the Biennale's decision to allow both Russia and Israel to participate. We're also looking at a case study of why it's so problematic to welcome Moscow to events that showcase its (Kremlin-approved) cultural offerings: the film Mr Nobody Against Putin, whose co-director Pavel Talankin, we are happy to report, has now happily been reunited with his mislaid Oscar. A round of applause for Lufthansa!It's taken us many years to get over our bitterness that there are some other kids on the block called The Europeans, but since it's Europe Day this Saturday, we've decided to bury the hatchet. This week we're delighted to be joined by the Dutch writer Arnold van Bruggen, one half of the photo-documentary project The Europeans. Along with the photographer Rob Hornstra, Arnold is spending the decade chronicling life around a continent that, as he puts it, is being rocked by a perfect storm of political, social and environmental changes. We spoke to Arnold about the latest chapter of the project, in which they got to know the migrant workers who keep southern Spain's giant greenhouse region running. This interview is brought to you in partnership with the European Cultural Foundation.This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are Repro Uncensored, which is doing fine work highlighting a wave of shutdowns of queer Instagram accounts, and Rotraut Susanne Berner's seasonal Wimmelbilderbücher for kids.EUROPE DAY: How's your prep going? Got your Rösti at the ready? If you'd like to spend Saturday celebrating everything that's wonderful about this continent (and maybe discussing some things we could fix) in the presence of other human beings, our friends at the European Cultural Foundation have a great list of events, from film screenings to family days out.

The Hindenburg. Lawsuits over tomato fraud and the loss of Peaches.

The Rizzuto Show proudly presents another episode that somehow starts with the Hindenburg disaster and ends with Bob Seger rankings, proving once again that this funny podcast is held together with duct tape, caffeine, and questionable decision-making.Rizz and the gang kick things off talking about local BMX hero and X Games champion Zack Warden ahead of the Show Me BMX Jam at Four Hands. What begins as a wholesome STL success story immediately spirals into everyone remembering how they once thought they could do BMX tricks before realizing gravity exists and hospital bills are expensive.Then things take a historical turn when the crew revisits the legendary Hindenburg disaster broadcast from 1937. The original radio coverage still hits like a truck, and the gang breaks down why hearing genuine emotion on-air was such a massive moment in broadcasting history. Somehow this turns into a discussion about how modern media has basically turned everybody into full-time catastrophe consumers. So… uplifting stuff.Elsewhere in this daily podcast, Lern's mom desperately searches New York City for Mick Jagger while accidentally missing him entirely, the crew debates whether concert ticket prices have officially become criminal activity, and everyone collectively roasts the Missouri State Fair lineup while Illinois quietly flexes on them with a way better roster. Sorry, Missouri. We still love you. Mostly.The gang also dives into misunderstood songs that people somehow turned into wedding classics despite the lyrics being deeply depressing. Turns out “Every Breath You Take” is not romantic, “Semi-Charmed Life” is very much about meth, and “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan absolutely ruined animal shelter commercials forever.Lern introduces the show to Castle Rat — a medieval fantasy doom metal band featuring chainmail, underboob armor, plague doctors, and enough theatrical nonsense to immediately earn the crew's respect. Honestly, if your band doesn't have a dedicated Rat Queen at this point, what are you even doing?Then it's time for a full-on Bob Seger birthday celebration as the crew debates his greatest songs, from “Night Moves” to “Against the Wind” to the inescapable wedding anthem “Old Time Rock and Roll.” Rafe practically turns into a Bob Seger historian while everyone else realizes they know way more Seger songs than they thought.You'll also get Seinfeld episode rankings, AMC's bizarre new live concert theater experiment, Anthony Bourdain movie talk, celebrity chaos, weird news, hilarious fails, and approximately 47 moments that would absolutely confuse anyone listening out of context.In other words: a completely normal episode of your favorite daily comedy show and your favorite comedy podcast from St. Louis.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On May 6, 1937, the world watched in horror as the Hindenburg airship burst into flames above New Jersey in one of history's most shocking disasters. But what if some people already knew it was going to happen?In this chilling episode of Truth Be Told Paranormal, Tony Sweet explores the strange claims surrounding the Hindenburg tragedy — including vivid dreams, psychic warnings, eerie premonitions, and theories of unexplained energy anomalies connected to the doomed airship.Was the Hindenburg disaster one of the first modern “mass premonition” events? Could human consciousness somehow sense tragedy before it strikes? Or are these stories simply coincidence shaped by fear and memory?From paranormal theories and collective consciousness to curses, sabotage rumors, and lingering spiritual energy, we uncover the mystery behind the fire that shocked the world.Prepare for a haunting journey into one of history's most eerie paranormal mysteries.#TruthBeTold #Paranormal #Hindenburg #HindenburgDisaster #Premonition #PsychicPhenomena #MassPremonition #Mystery #ParanormalPodcast #UFO #GhostStories #Conspiracy #Supernatural #HistoryMystery #ClubParanormal #TonySweet #UnexplainedMysteries #DarkHistory #ParanormalHistory #FireInTheSkyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support.

Science correspondent Allan Blackman looks at how the Hindenburg disaster has haunted the development of hydrogen technology and why that might be changing. 

As president, Hindenburg possessed significant constitutional powers, including the authority to appoint governments and, under certain conditions, to rule by emergency ...

This week, we've got a little something for everyone: gambling! Kraftwerk! Blast from the recent US political past Tim Walz! It was a Good Week yet again for Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, the darling of the global left, who threw a party for… the global left. And it was a Bad Week for the legendary German electronic band Kraftwerk, who apparently have been around since 1970(!) and therefore can withstand the occasional bad week. We also caught up with Greek investigative reporter Eurydice Bersi, who was part of a team that uncovered a slew of streamers on places like YouTube and Twitch who've been directing their followers to unlicensed gambling sites – and profiting off it. Eurydice is a reporter with Reporters United, Investigate Europe's partners in Greece. This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are the European Cultural Foundation's calendar of the smörgåsbord of events coming up in celebration of Europe Day 2026, and the website WhoSampled.com.

Shortly after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, Elon Musk's company SpaceX swept in to restore internet connectivity to areas that had been affected by Russian attacks. But SpaceX and its internet service, Starlink, have hardly remained indisputable forces for good in the war in Ukraine. Earlier this month, the Kyiv Independent revealed that a fleet of old, rusty ships has been transporting hundreds of millions of barrels of Russian oil… with Starlink's help. Investigative journalist Tanya Kozyreva joins us to explain what her reporting uncovered about how Starlink is used by the Russian “shadow fleet” – and how Ukrainian sailors have found themselves onboard. We're also joined by The Europeans' resident Luxembourger, Nina Lamparski, to discuss a resurgence of bison in Europe and the imperiled fate of halloumi.JOIN OUR BOOK CLUB: We're so excited to be partnering with our friends at the European Review of Books on a new audio book club!

The most famous airship disaster in history left behind more than wreckage — and something at Lakehurst Naval Station may still be waiting to prove it.IN THIS EPISODE: In the Oakland Cemetery, a bronze monument to tragedy is said to bring death to anyone who touches it. (Black Angel of Death) *** While camping, a man has dreams of a dark-haired woman several nights in a row. Normally it wouldn't be anything to be all that concerned about, but it's something to fear if you are near the French Broad river. (Siren of the French Broad) *** Alien visitors, beings from a different dimension, our planet even had tree monsters and sentient pyramids showing up – and all in the year 1965. (The Inter-Dimensional Interlopers of 1965) *** A retired naval officer reports rocks falling through his home's roof – dozens in a single day – with no explanation of where they came from. (Cappy Ricks and the Stones) *** In 1994 a man has a paranormal experience with a popular song recorded two decades earlier. (The Joker) *** Is there a clandestine space program designed to save the elite from a global catastrophe? (Alternative 3) *** On this date, October 24, 1953, Evelyn Hartley, a 15-year-old sophomore from La Crosse, Wisconsin, vanished without a trace while on her way to a babysitting job. It was like something out of a Halloween urban legend but in this case, the horror was real. (The Babysitter Who Vanished) *** The odd happening that takes place here and there in a house more than likely can be explained in some rational way. Even quite a few strange occurrences could probably be explained by science. But when the events seem to never stop, perhaps it's time to think something else is going on. (An Assortment of Experiences) *** Legend tells a centuries-old curse was placed upon Dudleytown in Connecticut. The town turned into a horrible place where people committed suicide or went insane. (Cursed Dudleytown) *** Exactly 92 years ago today – October 24, 1926 - something went wrong during a performance by Harry Houdini. A week later, he would be dead. (Houdini's Final Performance) *** The Hamilton-Byrne family was anything but typical, rather it was a doomsday cult with a leader who believed herself to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.
