A ideia de que o Estado deve se restringir a funções básicas, desregulamentar a economia e não interferir no comércio entre países ganhou força com o fim da Guerra Fria e chegou a ser promovida pelos EUA na América Latina. Essa agenda entrou em crise na última década, o que ajuda a explicar a plataforma econômica populista de Donald Trump - e seu retorno ao poder.

امسال مهم‌ترین اجلاس بین‌المللی برای جلوگیری از گرم شدن خطرناک کره زمین در شهر باکو، پایتخت جمهوری آذربایجان برگزار خواهد شد. جمهوری آذربایجان کشوری است که پیشرفت‌های اخیر اقتصادی‌اش حاصل استخراج نفت و گاز است.

رهبران جهان در حالی در مذاکرات اقلیمی کاپ۲۹ شرکت کرده‌اند که در مورد بودجه ناکافی «تاسف‌بار» برای کاهش انتشار گازهای گلخانه‌ای هشدار داده‌ شده است. پیشتر دبیرکل سازمان ملل، عطش مداوم جهان برای سوخت‌های فسیلی را محکوم کرد. اما الهام علی‌اف، میزبان این نشست، نفت و گاز را «هدیه‌ای از جانب خداوند» توصیف کرد و انتخاب مجدد دونالد ترامپ هم که از استخراج سوخت‌های فسیلی حمایت می‌کند به شدت بر این اجلاس سایه انداخته است.

Microsoft is planning to no longer support the Windows Mail, Calendar, and People apps later this year. The Verge: The software giant has been moving existing users of these apps over to the new Outlook for Windows app in recent months, and now it has set an end of support date for the Mail, Calendar, and People apps of December 31st. Once the apps reach end of support later this year, Microsoft warns that users who haven't moved to the new Outlook app "will no longer be able to send and receive email using Windows Mail and Calendar." Microsoft has been rolling out the new Outlook for Windows app for years, with it officially reaching the general availability stage in August.

If you have Spotify's soon-to-be-bricked Car Thing, there are a few ways you can give it a new lease on life. YouTuber Dammit Jeff has showcased modifications to Car Thing that makes the device useful as a desktop music controller, customizable shortcut tool, or a simple digital clock. Ars Technica's Kevin Purdy reports: Spotify had previously posted the code for its uboot and kernel to GitHub, under the very unassuming name "spsgsb" and with no announcement (as discovered by Josh Hendrickson). Jeff has one idea why the streaming giant might not have made much noise about it: "The truth is, this thing isn't really great at running anything." It has half a gigabyte of memory, 4GB of internal storage, and a "really crappy processor" (Amlogic S905D2 SoC) and is mostly good for controlling music. How do you get in? The SoC has a built-in USB "burning mode," allowing for a connected computer, running the right toolkit, to open up root access and overwrite its firmware. Jeff has quite a few issues getting connected (check his video description for some guidance), but it's "drag and drop" once you're in. Jeff runs through a few of the most popular options for a repurposed Car Thing: - DeskThing, which largely makes Spotify desk-friendly, but adds a tiny app store for weather (including Jeff's own WeatherWave), clocks, and alternate music controls - GlanceThing, which keeps the music controls but also provides some Stream-Deck-like app-launching shortcuts for your main computer. - Nocturne, currently invite-only, is a wholly redesigned Spotify interface that restores all its Spotify functionality.
