through a narrow waterway on Iran’s southern border, destined for countries like China, South Korea and even the United States.This passage, called the Strait of Hormuz, is one of the energy industry’s most important trading routes — and also one of its most vulnerable.Whether the fragile cease-fire between Israel…
Where A.I. Data Centers Are Located Only 32 nations, mostly in the Northern Hemisphere, have A.I.-specialized data centers. Source: Oxford University Note: Count of data centers in China excludes facilities in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Last month, Sam Altman, the chief executive of the artificial intelligence company OpenAI, donned a helmet, work boots and a luminescent high-visibility vest to visit the construction site of the company’s new data center project in Texas.Bigger than New York’s Central Park, the estimated $60 billion project, which has its own natural gas plant, will be one of the most powerful computing hubs ever created…
Atul Loke for The New York Times Investigators have begun sorting through the wreckage of Thursday’s plane crash in India, the nation’s deadliest in three decades. It could take months before a definitive explanation emerges, but videos of the accident and other evidence have begun to offer clues about what may have brought down the Air India flight, killing more than 260 people.Here are some questions that investigators hope to answer in days and weeks ahead, according to aviation safety experts.Were the wing flaps and slats properly extended?Thursday’s crash occurred moments after the plane departed the airport in Ahmedabad, India.…
President Trump received a phone call from Elon Musk late on Monday night, outreach that led to a public expression of regret by the billionaire early Wednesday for the attacks he had lodged against the president in their extraordinary public showdown last week, according to three people briefed on the conversation.The call came after the tech entrepreneur spoke privately on Friday with Vice President JD Vance and the White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, about a path to a truce. Ms. Wiles told associates she had come to like working with Mr. Musk and was one of his regular…
The Washington Post said Wednesday that it had hired Adam O’Neal, a correspondent from The Economist, to be its next opinion editor.Mr. O’Neal will be charged with carrying out a new direction for the section laid out by Jeff Bezos, the owner of The Washington Post: to champion “personal liberties and free markets.” Before joining The Economist, Mr. O’Neal was an editorial page writer at The Wall Street Journal, where the opinion pages are reliably conservative.Mr. O’Neal, 33, introduced himself to readers in a brief video posted by The Post’s public relations account, saying he had “been a journalist for…
Los Angeles is a city of immigrants. It is also a city of unions. And in California, those two constituencies have essentially melded into one.So it should come as no surprise that federal immigration raids on workplaces around Los Angeles County this week set off the largest protests to date against President Trump’s immigration crackdown.On the first day of the protests, David Huerta, the president of the California chapter of the Service Employees International Union and the grandson of Mexican farmworkers, was arrested and hospitalized for a head injury after being pushed by a federal agent. Officials said he was…
Over the past few months, after President Trump imposed wave after wave of tariffs, companies began paying billions more to bring goods into the country. In May, the Treasury collected more than $22 billion in tariff payments, data released on Wednesday shows, a record high.The income figures are among the first concrete indicators of the costs imposed by Mr. Trump’s trade policies. Although inflation data has yet to reflect price increases from tariffs, companies may soon pass at least part of those extra bills on to their customers. The rest could show up on their balance sheets in the form…
