Donald Trump’s New Crypto Bible Is Everything the Industry Ever Wanted

0

The White House has laid out its plan to usher in a “new American Golden Age,” with cryptocurrency at its center.

In a 160-page report published Wednesday, White House representatives outlined a series of recommendations to federal government officials as they set about building a legal framework and regulatory ruleset for companies handling crypto assets in the US.

If put into action by lawmakers and regulators, the recommendations would effectively gift the crypto industry—which spent hundreds of millions of dollars influencing 2024 congressional races—practically everything it had been calling for during the Biden administration.

Among other items, the White House recommends that Congress enact laws that resolve the long-running debate over the

Elton John and Spin̈al Tap release new version of Stonehenge – and correct stage prop disaster

0

Elton John and Spin̈al Tap have joined forces on a new version of the band’s song Stonehenge – and have finally corrected one of the great scenery-based mishaps in classic rock.

The song, performed in the 1984 rock-mockumentary This Is Spin̈al Tap, is at the heart of one of the film’s most cherished scenes: when the band, having made a mistake when commissioning an 18ft Stonehenge stage prop, have to make do with an 18in version being lowered from the rafters. After some hired dwarves caper around it, the band’s David St Hubbins complains that they looked likely to crush it underfoot.

No such problems with the new version

Is this tough US-EU trade deal a triumph for Brexit Britain? Only in leavers’ most delusional fantasies | Polly Toynbee

0

Those who misled the country over Brexit are usually quieter these days. They do not hang their heads in shame, but change the subject whenever they can. They deflect with their new war-cry that Britain must also leave the European convention on human rights.

As the effects of their wicked Brexit folly worsen by the month, they rarely get a chance to whoop: “We were right!” So their glee was unrestrained when the great US global bully gave Britain a less hard beating with a 10% tariff on its goods, compared with the EU, which was walloped with 15%.

Their joy overflowed when the business and trade secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, conceded:

Inside the Summit Where China Pitched Its AI Agenda to the World

0

Three days after the Trump administration published its much-anticipated AI action plan, the Chinese government put out its own AI policy blueprint. Was the timing a coincidence? I doubt it.

China’s “Global AI Governance Action Plan” was released on July 26, the first day of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), the largest annual AI event in China. Geoffrey Hinton and Eric Schmidt were among the many Western tech industry figures who attended the festivities in Shanghai. Our WIRED colleague Will Knight was also on the scene.

The vibe at WAIC was the polar opposite of Trump’s America-first, regulation-light vision for AI, Will tells me. In his opening speech, Chinese Premier

Why the humble rice cooker might be the only appliance you need in your kitchen

0

As a chef, I often get asked what my style of cooking is. Officially, I specialize in Hawaii’s local food and diasporic Asian cuisines, but unofficially, or if you catch me on a tired day, I’ll say my style of cooking is “dorm room”.

Which means I can make a filling, elaborate meal out of seemingly nothing, so long as I have a rice cooker in my arsenal. It’s my “desert island appliance”, the one piece of equipment I could still thrive with if I lost my entire kitchen. And anybody can learn the same hacks and shortcuts.

Today’s rice cookers come with sometimes dozens of functions, which I

The Best Dishes Eater’s Seattle Editor Ate in July 2025

0

At Eater Seattle, we have to eat out a lot — it’s right there in the website name, next to “Seattle.” Sometimes, this research shows up in the articles and maps we publish, but sometimes, we eat something so good that we have to tell everyone about it. This running monthly column is a place for us to share especially good dishes with you.

If De La Soil was on Capitol Hill, it would probably be a hot new Seattle restaurant. Instead it’s tucked away inside Copperworks Distilling in Kenmore — and it should be a hot new Seattle restaurant anyway. It focuses on seasonal produce, and I know a

At least 25 people were injured in a severe case of turbulence that forced a Delta Air Lines jet flying to Amsterdam into an emergency landing in Minneapolis, the airline said in a statement.

The flight had taken off from Salt Lake City in Utah but landed at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul international airport after “significant turbulence” struck.

“Medical personnel met the flight upon arrival to evaluate customers and crew. Twenty-five of those on board were transported to local hospitals for evaluation and care,” Delta said in a statement.

“We are grateful for the support of all emergency responders involved.”
