Spain's leftist government has closed Spanish airspace to US planes carrying out missions against Iran, in addition to denying Washington use of its bases, the defense minister said on Monday.Β "The bases are not authorized, and of course neither is the use of Spanish airspace for actions related to the war in Iran," Margarita Robles told journalists, confirming a report by El Pais daily.Β Spain's refusal to cooperate has "complicated" US military operations by forcing bombers to change their routes and logistics on their way to the Middle East, El Pais reported.
At Cape, we believe privacy policies should be accessible and written in plain language. Together with our partners at Proton, we decided to hide an "Easter egg" inside our policy: a free round-trip getaway to Switzerland, the worldβs privacy capital and where Proton is headquartered.

Iran maintains oil exports of 2.4m-2.8m barrels daily despite war and sanctions, earning twice pre-conflict revenues as Gulf rivals slash output and prices surge.
The Spanish government is walking a tightrope: it rejects involvement in a war it deems illegal, while still contributing to the defense of Turkey and Cyprus, in keeping with its commitments to NATO and the EU

HUMAN Security's State of AI Traffic report found that bots have eclipsed human users, with automated traffic growing eight times faster than human activity.
Coach Danny Litwhiler, who led the Spartans for nearly two decades, is credited with developing more than 100 inventions and innovations that improved the game.
The "AI singularity" is often miscast as a monolithic, godlike mind. Evolution suggests a different path: intelligence is fundamentally plural, social, and relational. Recent advances in agentic AI reveal that frontier reasoning models, such as DeepSeek-R1, do not improve simply by "thinking longer". Instead, they simulate internal "societies of thought," spontaneous cognitive debates that argue, verify, and reconcile to solve complex tasks. Moreover, we are entering an era of human-AI centaurs: hybrid actors where collective agency transcends individual control. Scaling this intelligence requires shifting from dyadic alignment (RLHF) toward institutional alignment. By designing digital protocols, modeled on organizations and markets, we can build a social infrastructure of checks and balances. The next intelligence explosion will not be a single silicon brain, but a complex, combinatorial society specializing and sprawling like a city. No mind is an island.
AI native companies no longer have years to bridge the gap between self-serve adoption and enterprise readiness. While the security and platform tooling stack has matured quickly, the commercial layer severly lags behind.
