Los temas: - En nombre de la paz, China realiza un impresionante desfile de ostentación militar con Vladímir Putin (Rusia) y Kim Jong-un (Corea del Norte) como invitados de honor. - Horas antes, en afianzamiento de un eje comercial antioccidental, la Cumbre de Cooperación de Shanghái retrata el histórico encuentro del anfitrión Xi Jinping, con Vladímir Putin y el Primer Ministro de la India Narendra Modi. Los tres representan al 40% de la población mundial. -En pocas palabras, Putin recibe baños de reconocimiento internacional (incluyendo el que le hizo Trump en Alaska) mientras continúa atacando a Ucrania y, por supuesto, sin ninguna necesidad ni interés en negociar el fin de la invasión que ya lleva tres años y medio. -Mientras todo esto ocurre, Trump "exige" a Hamás liberar los 20 rehenes israelíes con vida y ataca un bote en el Caribe suramericano, argumentando que los 11 muertos a bordo eran miembros del tren de Aragua y llevaban drogas a Estados Unidos. El análisis con el Dr. Constantino Urcuyo Fournier.

David Waldman brings us the Wednesday KITM, on Wednesday, as expected, and as expected on a Wednesday, Greg Dworkin, who's here to ask, “Health and wellness, but whose?” Well, not yours, that's for sure. This month RFK Jr. plans to announce which of the four humors is responsible for autism, but Bob is definitely certain that most children could use at least a little letting. Meanwhile, Donald K. Trump is dead, he just doesn't know it yet because he hasn't seen it on TV. It turns out that when Donald was seen doing his “Stanky Leg” in public, it wasn't all about his stanky leg... It might have been even worse, if you can imagine that. By the way, Trump will only die when the majority of MAGA says he has, so look for that in maybe in a few generations. Sadly, for Donald, the Nobel Committee only hands out their prize on the 10th war averted, and it doesn't seem that Vlad will be punching his ticket on that. Xi Jinping sends a message to Trump, the message that he just doesn't know how to throw a cool parade. Jeffreeeeey Epsteiiiiiiin! Trump sends the US vuvuzela corps over to the capital today, but if that's not enough he can always blow up some more boatloads of Venezuelan citizens. Are you doing your part? ICE agents across the nation sure are doing theirs, and most are getting away with it, as long as they hide their identities a little. Trump will take over Chicago, NYC, and Greenland as soon as he gets rid of that TACO creeping up his spine. Gov. Kathy Hochul is getting used to defying Trump and accepting Zohran Mamdani. The Fifth Circuit rejects Trump's wartime deportation baloney, while Jeanine Pirro dejectedly sucks down another wine box as grand juries award her yet another “no bill prize”. The USDA is cutting farmers loose from more supervision, while oyster farmer Graham Platner fights the oligarchy.  Space Command moves to Alabama, which is more proof that we are in the wrong timeline.

In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, Vlad and Dave take a deep dive into one of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects of modern manufacturing: network and systems architecture. Too often manufacturers focus on SCADA, MES, and control layers without recognizing that the architecture beneath them is the foundation that determines whether a facility can scale, connect new equipment, and maintain reliability. Architecture touches everything from plant floor PLCs and HMIs to edge devices, managed switches, firewalls, historians, and enterprise-level systems.We begin the conversation by unpacking what “architecture” actually means in manufacturing environments. Is it the hardware, switches, and cables? Is it the way new machines are integrated into existing plants? Or is it the broader strategy of ensuring that data, safety, and scalability are protected? The answer, as both Vlad and Dave explain, is that it is all of these at once.Throughout the discussion, we explore real-world stories where poor architectural decisions led to unplanned downtime, cybersecurity risks, or expensive rework. Vlad shares an example of a palletizer brought online with unmanaged switches and insecure remote access hardware that nearly crippled production until it was properly segmented. Dave recalls his own field experiences, including unusual setups where integrators resorted to improvised remote troubleshooting, highlighting just how creative but fragile some solutions can be.The episode also looks at the evolution of remote access. From the early days of Ewon boxes to modern expectations of secure VPNs, jump boxes, and approved engineering workstations, we discuss what role remote connectivity should play in today's manufacturing environment. While these solutions can reduce travel time and speed up support, they can just as easily introduce vulnerabilities and trust issues if not carefully managed.From there we move into the technical tradeoffs of device level ring versus star topologies. Vlad explains why he often prefers device level ring to save costs and simplify troubleshooting, while Dave weighs in on the importance of pre-molded cables, managed switches, and long-term maintainability. We also analyze example architectures from Rockwell white papers, pointing out where diagrams align with field best practices and where they differ from what engineers often see in real facilities.Finally, we broaden the perspective by comparing greenfield and brownfield deployments. Greenfield projects allow prime contractors and consultants to design standards up front, but most facilities live in brownfield reality where years of technical debt, unmanaged switches, and ad hoc networks make improvements harder. We also touch on how architecture differs by industry, whether in food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, or distributed environments such as trains or pipelines.The conversation closes with predictions, career advice, and resource recommendations. Vlad stresses that CCNA is still one of the best starting points for engineers who want to understand industrial networking fundamentals, and Dave emphasizes the importance of asking the right questions and learning from experienced peers. Both agree that demand for data, combined with the rise of AI, will continue to stress legacy networks until companies recognize the need for robust, standards-driven architectures.If you work in automation, engineering, IT, or plant management, this episode will give you perspective on why network architecture is not just a technical afterthought but a strategic enabler of digital transformation.Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and community updates 02:30 Defining architecture in manufacturing 05:00 Why networks are the backbone of manufacturing systems 08:00 A real-world palletizer story and the risks of unmanaged switches 14:00 The rise and pitfalls of remote access devices 18:30 Field story of unconventional remote troubleshooting setups 23:00 Who is responsible for network design: end users, integrators, or OEMs 28:00 Analyzing Rockwell's reference architecture diagrams 36:00 Device level ring versus star topologies in practice 49:00 Brownfield versus greenfield considerations 56:00 Industry-specific architectures from food and beverage to oil and gas 01:04:00 The role of standards and corporate versus local decision making 01:08:30 Predictions, career advice, and recommended resourcesReferences Mentioned in this Episode Ignition Community Conference: https://icc.inductiveautomation.com/ Siemens SPS Atlanta Event: https://new.siemens.com/us/en/company/fairs-events/sps.html Rockwell Automation Architectures and Design White Papers: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com CISSP Official Study Guide: https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/CISSP Winning by Tim Grover: https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Unforgiving-Race-Greatness/dp/1982168862 Cisco CCNA Certification: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/exams/current-list/ccna.htmlAbout the HostsVlad Romanov is an electrical engineer and consultant with over a decade of experience in manufacturing and industrial automation.

In this episode, Anna Rose and Tarun Chitra chat with Vlad and Murat from Lighter, a ZK-powered perp DEX on Ethereum. They explore how perps, short for perpetuals/perpetual trades, emerged as a crypto invention, how the exchanges offering perps evolved over the years, and the tradeoff space between transparency and privacy, specifically for marketmakers. Vladimir discusses the advantage of building a perp DEX with a team consisting of both quants and engineers. They also cover how ZK has come to be used in some projects but not others, what opportunities verifiability can unlock, and why their project favored building custom ZK circuits over using existing zkVMs. Related links: ZK Whiteboard Sessions  zkLighter White Paper A primer on perpetuals Hyperliquid docs dYdX GMX Lighter Discord Check out the latest jobs in ZK at the ZK Podcast Jobs Board.  **If you like what we do:** * Find all our links here! @ZeroKnowledge | Linktree * Subscribe to our podcast newsletter * Follow us on Twitter @zeroknowledgefm * Join us on Telegram * Catch us on YouTube **Support the show:** * Patreon * ETH - Donation address *

Ben Ennis is joined by guest host Sam McKee on Monday to recap the Blue Jays' weekend! As Toronto returns home from this trip 3-3 to stay at .500 on the road, they take some time to dive deeper into yesterday's game specifically. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was used to pinch hit; how confident are they that he will be back in the lineup tonight at Rogers Centre? They look back to Friday's game highlighted by Shane Bieber's Blue Jays debut and question if it heightens expectations for him the rest of the way. Will extra rest impact his next start? Later, the pair delve into the bullpen and why they believe it's the team's biggest concern down the stretch. Before the hour ends, the duo get into some golf talk with an exciting weekend that saw Brooke Henderson win again on home turf, Tommy Fleetwood secure his first ever PGA victory at a very good time, and whether or not Keegan Bradley will pick himself to play the Ryder Cup.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Altcoin froth meets real-asset rails. Vlad explains why Robinhood built an L2, how tokenized stocks—and even private shares like OpenAI/SpaceX—could trade on-chain, and what that means for accreditation, access, and the public/private wall. Plus: DATs, DTCC in a tokenized world, and AI that formally proves smart contracts. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Robinhood co‑founder/CEO Vlad Tenev joins to explain Robinhood Chain, why they chose a Layer 2 over a Layer 1, and the plan to bring tokenized stocks — including private shares — on‑chain. We get into the OpenAI/SpaceX kerfuffle, accreditation rules, and whether permissionless tokenization erodes the public/private boundary. Then we zoom out to 24/7 trading, Digital Asset Treasuries, and how formal verification (Lean proofs) could make smart contracts safer. Show highlights

David Waldman returns to Wednesday and finds Greg Dworkin there waiting for him. Greg knows Pi to five decimal places, so why don't we elect him? Not enough people like Democrats, but enough do for them to beat Republicans. Donald K. Trump is helping pull down Gops in every way imaginable, in almost every place imaginable. Frank Serpico hopes to see a Zohran Mandani movie someday. The Mamdanimentum seems unstoppable. Elise Stefanik seems stoppable.  Trump's no angel… yet... but the mainstream media would rather we all went to hell. Trump estimates that the US is the only country that uses mail-in voting. He figures that if his buddy Bibi is a war hero, he must be too.  Of course, his buddy Vlad is a war criminal…  If the National Guard can open carry in DC, Jeanine Pirro will allow regular citizens to carry shotguns and rifles as long as they carry them patriotically. A police officer in Maine could tell that he's not Jeanine's type. ICE denied a parking spot cooled off by kicking some Latinos.

Volodímir Zelenski visitó la Casa Blanca este lunes acompañado por siete mandatarios europeos para discutir un posible acuerdo de paz tras la reunión de Trump con Vladímir Putin en Alaska hace unos días. La relación entre Trump y Zelenski ha sido históricamente tensa. Se torció ya en 2019 cuando Trump retuvo 400 millones de dólares en ayuda militar a Ucrania y pidió investigar a Joe Biden, lo que desencadenó su primer impeachment. La invasión rusa de Ucrania y el regreso de Trump a la presidencia en 2025 empeoraron las cosas. En febrero de este año un encuentro personal en el despacho oval fue un fracaso sin paliativos. Trump y JD Vance acusaron a Zelenski de ser irrespetuoso, poco agradecido por la ayuda estadounidense y terminó expulsado de la Casa Blanca. Tras aquello la relación ha ido mejorando. En marzo, Zelenski aceptó una propuesta de alto el fuego tras las conversaciones en Arabia Saudita, rechazada luego por Putin. En abril sostuvieron un encuentro informal de 15 minutos en la basílica de San Pedro durante el funeral del papa Francisco. En mayo Trump anunció negociaciones entre Rusia y Ucrania, pero Putin se negó a dialogar directamente con Zelenski. En junio Zelenski propuso una reunión trilateral con Trump y Putin en Estambul, pero Putin la descartó, recordando que solo se reunirá con él al final de las negociaciones que mantendrá exclusivamente con EEUU. La reunión del lunes, a diferencia de la de febrero, ha tenido un tono mucho más positivo. Zelenski, respaldado por una coalición de líderes europeos como Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, Ursula von der Leyen y Mark Rutte, fue recibido con elogios por Trump, que incluso alabó su atuendo. La delegación europea estaba ahí para arropar a Zelenski y evitar que se repitiese lo que pasó en febrero. Trump les correspondió anunciando una futura cumbre entre Zelenski y Putin que vendrá seguida de conversaciones trilaterales, aunque no han trascendido fechas ni lugares. Tampoco sabemos si Putin lo aceptará. La conversación giró en torno a las garantías de seguridad para Ucrania. Trump ha propuesto un esquema similar al Artículo 5 de la OTAN, pero no quiso dar más detalles. Su idea es que los ejércitos europeos se encarguen de materializar esa garantía, pero con apoyo directo de Estados Unidos. Sobre el papel pinta bien, pero el hecho es que Putin rechaza cualquier presencia militar occidental en Ucrania, lo que complicará las negociaciones cuando den comienzo. Putin exige la cesión total del Donbás, una demanda que Zelenski evita discutir, prefiere dejar el tema territorial para una negociación directa con Rusia mediada por EEUU. Trump insiste en un acuerdo basado en "intercambios territoriales", pero Ucrania se resiste a ceder más terreno, especialmente en Donetsk, donde mantiene dos ciudades bien fortificadas. A la mayor parte de los ucranianos no les parece mal congelar la línea de frente actual, pero no entregar más territorio, y que además eso venga acompañado de una serie de garantías por parte de las potencias occidentales. Para Zelenski eso supondría un problema político interno de primer orden. Los líderes europeos, entretanto, se muestran optimistas, pero dudan de la viabilidad de un acuerdo duradero si Putin no acepta un alto el fuego. La cumbre fue prometedora, pero dejó demasiados asuntos sin resolver. A eso habría que sumarle la volatilidad de Trump, que cambia con mucha frecuencia de opinión, lo que añade aún más incertidumbre sobre el futuro de las negociaciones.

As today's KITM plays in a box in the corner of the screen, David Waldman watches and comments. This, in turn, plays in the corner of the screen that Greg Dworkin watches and comments upon, and they are in the corner of the screen that I watch and comment upon. Here's where you come in. Greg dredges up another Raft O' Stories™ out of the x-sewers. Good news! Through the alchemy of Blue Sky, I have magically changed each of those posts into gold. More good news! Donald K. Trump did not sell Alaska to Vlad! Well, he might have given it away to him, or just left the deed somewhere, but the whole point of this yak-fest was a strategy session to take on the leader of the free world and fashion king, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Their strategy seems to be bringing JD “Just Dance” Vance as his “muscle”. At this moment Trump is selling Zelensky on switching Ukraine to high-flush toilets. Meanwhile, members of ICE ISIS roam the streets of our capitol, pretty much finding criminals around every corner. Restaurants only wish they could find some of those liberated customers, who, along with students, are now sheltering-in-place. The US might still look like a good place to, say, Gazans, but not if Laura Loomer has anything to say about it. Pity Kristi Noem! Now she can't take off work early to lay that married sexual assaulter Corey Lewandowski in her free house confiscated from a political enemy without everybody being up in her business. Department of Justice Special Attorney Ed Martin personifies the weaponization of Federal government by dressing as McGruff the Crime Dog and lurking outside the home of New York Attorney General Letitia James. MS NOW! You got to hope Gloria Steinem sues. Rogan just figured out what everyone else knew about.. anything, really. Does this mean that the national pendulum is swinging back to smart from dumb? Probably not, but more of them could be voting Democratic.

Over the past decade, schools increasingly have become a battleground for political fights and culture wars that distract from student learning. But, according to a new book, these political fights and culture wars are just one aspect of a much larger and more longstanding problem: schooling is often shaped by the interests of adults. From […]
