De oppositie is - niet heel verrassend - kritisch op de voorjaarsnota, na de doorrekening door het Centraal Planbureau. Dat concludeerde dat het begrotingstekort gaat oplopen tot 2,3 procent van het BBP. En dat is een half procentpunt hoger dan eerder verwacht. Ander nieuws uit The Daily Move: De Spaanse regering heeft een commissie aangesteld om de oorzaken van de landelijke stroomstoring te onderzoeken. Volgens premier Sánchez liggen alle opties nog op tafel, zei hij in een persconferentie, waarin hij nog geen oorzaak aan durfde te wijzen. Volvo gaat flink in de kosten snijden. Om de effecten van de Amerikaanse importheffingen op te vangen, verdwijnen er banen bij Volvo. Dat maakte het bedrijf vandaag bekend. De bezuinigingsplannen moeten ruim 1,6 miljard euro opleveren. Vannacht heeft Amazon 27 internet-satellieten gelanceerd. Zij zijn onderdeel van Project Kuiper. Het bedrijf wil daarmee de concurrentie aangaan met het Starlink van SpaceX.

Amazon's Project Kuiper is an ambitious project and could eventually be a serious competitor to SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service. But that's only if Amazon can start building its satellites a little faster.According to Bloomberg, Project Kuiper has run into production delays. It's on a government deadline to have about 1,600 satellites in orbit by next summer, but so far it's only managed to churn out a few dozen of the spacecraft. The company will need to quadruple its production capacity if it still plans to meet that deadline.
The line between technological innovation and dehumanization grows increasingly blurred as companies embrace AI solutions that fundamentally alter human interaction. At the forefront of this shift is Otter AI founder Sam Liang, who has developed an AI-powered avatar that attends 90% of his business meetings, complete with voice synthesis mimicking his speech patterns and the ability to make decisions based on his past behaviors. This represents a troubling evolution where leadership presence becomes optional, raising profound questions about authenticity, trust, and what we sacrifice when algorithms replace human connection.Meanwhile, scammers continue finding sophisticated ways to exploit our trust through technology. A particularly alarming trend involves fake banking apps designed to mimic legitimate banking platforms, allowing fraudsters to display convincing "payment successful" screens while walking away with sellers' goods. The face-to-face nature of these scams blends old-fashioned confidence tricks with digital deception, leaving victims thousands of dollars out of pocket with little recourse.The tech landscape continues to be shaped by major corporate competition and legal challenges. Google faces its second antitrust loss in a year as a US judge ruled the company maintains an illegal monopoly in online advertising. Simultaneously, Amazon expands its technological empire across multiple fronts—from entertainment franchises to autonomous vehicles with Zoox robotaxis, to challenging SpaceX's Starlink with its Project Kuiper satellite internet service.These developments highlight the growing consolidation of power among tech giants while raising important questions about innovation, competition, and how technology serves humanity. As AI systems increasingly stand in for human judgment and interaction, we must critically examine whether these advances truly enhance our lives or merely replace authentic connection with algorithmic approximation.Join us as we navigate this complex technological landscape with humor, insight, and a commitment to understanding how these developments affect our daily lives and future prospects.Support the show

The arrival of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite capabilities is changing broadband market dynamics as it increases capacity and improves performance. Mau Rodriguez joins host Eric Hanselman to discuss where displacement is taking place and the potential for new market entrants. The Geosynchronous satellite services that had been the backbone of remote connectivity have capacity, but come along with relatively high latency in data delivery. They're orbiting at tens of thousands of miles, which is very long signal path, when compared to LEO satellites at around 500 miles. The broadband market is dominated by terrestrial technologies, with cable leading the installed base and fiber growing rapidly. The subscriber cost for satellite is far higher, but the deployment cost can be much lower than that required for remote locations. While Starlink dominates this market, AWS aims to compete with its Project Kuiper plans. It just needs to get a lot of satellites launched, first.

Satellite internet has been around for decades. But in just the past six years, the number of satellites orbiting the planet has grown dramatically. Many belong to Starlink, a unit of SpaceX whose satellites are in low Earth orbit. And it's expected to get even busier up there with Amazon’s Project Kuiper launching thousands of new satellites. Joe Supan of CNET recently wrote about this. He told Marketplace’s Stephanie Hughes about the race to claim a piece of space and the risk of high-tech debris clogging the zone.

Arun Sundaram isn't panicked by red arrows in Amazon (AMZN) after its earnings slide. He considers it a buying opportunity for the ecommerce giant. Nick Jones agrees and calls it a "growth company" despite its Mag 7 standing. He points to its ecommerce powerhouse, A.I. expansion in AWS and even its Project Kuiper satellite system as growth engines.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
In 2025, Amazon's Project Kuiper service is entering the satellite internet residential market, joining Starlink, HughesNet and Viasat. In this episode of All Day Digital, expert Tim Courtney assesses Amazon's clear opportunity for bundling, satellite's impact for rural areas and its potential to disrupt fixed-line providers.
How far can following your passions take you in science? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome the multi-faceted Leah Voytovich, a software development engineer for Project Kuiper who planned on going to med school but instead ended up working on space lasers for Amazon's satellite internet constellation. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the use of deuterium levels in the search for exoplanets with advanced civilizations. That's because signs of deuterium depletion can indicate that a planet has developed nuclear fission power. After that, Leah tells us a little about Amazon's Project Kuiper. She explains the wide variety of challenges to keeping the satellites, which are in low earth orbit, in communication with the ground. The project she's working on now is using infrared space lasers to communicate more securely within the satellite constellation. Chuck brings up the impact that these massive groups of satellites like Starlink are having on astronomy, from satellite streaks on dark sky surveys to image-destroying flares. Leah said there are people working on reducing Project Kuiper's impacts across multiple areas of concern. For our first question. Yasmin asks, “Will our satellites all be controlled by AI someday? If so, when? And is this a good idea?” Leah speculates that there may be some projects already using Machine Learning here on Earth, but that it will be further down the line before there's AI actually present in satellites themselves. Leah doesn't see a problem with the use of ML tools for science, as long as there are protections in place and that humans are still writing the software. After our break, Leah tells us about what she does outside her work – literally – from climbing Mount St. Helens in winter using an ice ax and crampons, to skiing, to running marathons – 3 so far! Then we're back to AI, ML, and the differences between the two. Charles talks about how important AI has beome as a tool for astronomers and other scientists. Leah explains the “Chinese Room Argument” and why it's a good analogy for machine learning, Allen shares the description of AI as a “stochastic parrot.” Our next question comes from Jonathan, who asks, “With so many problems facing the world like poverty, war and the climate crisis here on Earth, why should we spend money and resources on space exploration and astronomy?” Leah talks about how Project Kuiper is intended to serve underserved communities by providing internet access to people who don't already have it. That in turn increases global communication and connectivity and can then help address those other problems. And of course, to launch those satellites, we need rockets. She also explains how valuable internet access is to communities– something she knows a little about. She and Martin Leet co-founded Maji, a nonprofit in Uganda that uses solar power to make clean water easily accessible for refugee communities. Leah, a former EMT, explains how Maji also provides first aide medical training and agricultural training to the communities. The story of how Maji came to be is remarkable – we'll leave it to Leah to share that with you in the episode. We end with Leah recounting what it was like to be in Mission Control for the launch of the first Project Kuiper satellites. She was the representative for her team in the Mission Control room, so she was the one who actually got to say “Go” for her service during the final pre-launch Go/No Go review. If you'd like to know more about Maji, you can check out the nonprofit's website here. We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.
