NASA Webb Explores Effect of Strong Magnetic Fields on Star Formation

Despite decades of study, the process of star formation still holds many mysteries. Stars are the source of nearly all the universe's chemical elements, including carbon and oxygen, so understanding why and how they form -- or not -- is a crucial initial step in understanding how the universe works and the origins of just about everything, including life on Earth. At the heart of our Milky Way galaxy is the star-forming region Sagittarius C, which despite a wealth of raw material does not make as many stars as astronomers would expect. Two new studies have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to investigate star formation in this extreme environment that is relatively near the supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Way, at 200 light-years distance.

블로그 | 정치적 격동기에 IT 리더가 변화를 일으킬 방법

세계 경제는 이제 끊임없이 변화하는 가운데 극도로 정치화하고 있다.미국 정부의 예산 구조를 비유적으로 이르는 오래된 표현이 있다. ‘미국 정부는 사실상 군대를 갖춘 보험 회사에 불과하다’라는 말이다. 오늘날에도 이런 표현이 사용되고 있음에도 불구하고, 최근 CNBC의 ‘스쿼크 박스(Squawk Box)’ 프로그램에서 3 명의 앵커들은 관세와 백악관/정부기관의 개입 등 미국 정치에 대해 언급하지 않고는 경제를 이야기할 수 없다고 말했다.빅테크, 빅미디어, 빅농업, 빅제조업의 CEO와 기타 중요한 사회 구성원들은 “정부의 분노를 피하기 위해” 많은 시간과 관심을 쏟고 있다.또한 마케팅, 공급망, HR 등 최고 경영진의 조직 전체는 변화하는 정치적 흐름 때문에 의제와 운영에 혼란을 겪고 있다.이런 상황에서 IT와 CIO의 역할이 중요해진다. 정치화된 세상에서 CIO와 IT 직원은 그동안 아쉽다고 여겨졌던 IT의 비가시성을 강점으로 전환할 수 있다. 정치적 논란이나 당파적 갈등 없이 세상을 더 나은 곳으로 만드는 본연의 임무에 집중할 수 있다는 점이 이들의 가치를 높이고 있다.정치학자들은 정치 입문자들에게 “돼지와 씨름하지 마라. 당신만 진흙투성이가 되고 돼지만 화나게 할 뿐이다”라고 조언하곤 한다.필자는 15년 전 CIO닷컴 행사에서 IT 리더들에게 ‘경쟁을 불필요하게 만드는 IT 시스템’을 구상하고 배포하도록 촉구했다. 여전히 IT가 올바르게 활용된다면 지속 가능한 경쟁 우위의 원천이 될 수 있다고 믿는다.올바른 IT 활용CIO들은 모니터링과 적극적인 개입이 필요하다는 IT의 근본적인 진실을 알고 있다.정치권에서도 IT 리더에게 본보기가 될 만한 사례가 있다. 바로 미국 하원의원인 맥신 덱스터(민주당-오리건)다. 그의 본업은 중환자 전문의로, 핵심 업무는 환자가 아프거나 아프지 않은지 진단하고, 아프다면 어떤 의료적 조치가 필요한지 결정하는 일이다.CIO도 조직의 디지털 경험 전체에 대한 중환자 전문의 역할을 수행해야 한다. IT는 업무 중인 사람들의 제스처, 자세, 언어, 사고방식을 인류학적으로 평가해야 한다. 아프고 개입이 필요한 시스템이 있는가? 사람들이 ‘화를 내고 있는‘ 디지털 경험이 있는가?IT 건강 문제를 해결하는 가장 좋은 방법은 시스템을 사용하는 사람들과 시간을 보내는 것이다. CIO는 이해관계자들에게 주의를 기울여야 한다. 실제로 사용자의 목소리를 듣는 데 얼마나 많은 시간을 보내는가? 이해관계자들이 일상 생활에서 벌이는 전투를 이해하고 있는가?“오늘 하루 어땠어?”라는 강력한 질문에 디지털 관점을 더하면 상당한 성과를 얻을 수 있다. CIO는 일선 직원들이 IT를 설명할 때 사용하는 표현을 주기적으로 확인하고 직감에 따라 점검해야 한다.현대 대통령들은 전임자들보다 ‘국민’과 더 많이 소통하려고 한다. 커뮤니케이션 기술에 큰 발전이 있었을 뿐만 아니라 그 경제적 효율성도 높기 때문이다. 마찬가지로 현대의 CIO는 자신이 서비스하는 다양한 이해관계자들과 진정성 있는 대화를 나눠야 한다.이해관계자를 낯선 사람으로 여겨서는 안 되며, 그들에게 낯선 사람이 되어서도 안 된다. 이해관계자들을 위해 우리의 정체성을 명확히 인식할 필요가 있다.경제학자들이 생각해야 하는 방식으로 사고하기지난 20년 동안 경제학계의 영향력은 크게 감소했다. 샌프란시스코에서 열린 미국경제학회 연례 회의에서 패널들은 경제학자가 “사람들이 실제로 관심을 갖는 문제를 이해하기 위해 노력해야 한다“라고 결론지었다.또한 주목할 만한 예측 오류로 인해 경제학 분야 전체의 신뢰성이 점점 더 의문시되고 있다. 조지 W. 부시 대통령의 최고 고문이었던 하버드 경제학자 그렉 맨큐(Greg Mankiw)는 “우리는 항상 예측을 잘 못했다”라고 인정했다. 실적은 중요하다.IT 부서를 잠식하고 있지만 미처 파악되지 않은 문제는 IT 효율성에 대한 인식이다. 이해관계자들은 정말 IT 예산이 현명하게 사용되고 있다고 믿는가? 네덜란드 화가 빈센트 반 고흐는 정신 건강을 위해 생트르미드프로방스의 정신병원에 입원할 만큼 자기 인식이 뛰어났다. 우리는 IT 가치를 정직하게 평가할 용기가 있는가? IT에 정말 이렇게 많은 비용이 필요한가?현실 기반CIO가 미래를 위한 선구자 역할을 하려면, ‘시대를 앞서가는 혁신적 사고’와 현재 당면한 문제 해결 사이에서 균형을 잡아야 한다.이를 위해서는 미래에 대한 논의의 상당 부분을 차지하는 ‘AI가 IT의 만병통치약’식의 사고방식에서 벗어나야 한다.결코 실현되지 않을 수도 있는 IT 만병통치약에 빠져 방향을 잃기보다, CIO와 IT 팀은 조직의 모든 부서 및 고객과 긴밀히 소통하며 ‘다음에 무엇을 해야 하는가?’라는 가장 인간적인 질문에 명확한 답을 제시해야 한다[email protected]

Investors are turning bearish on the U.S. dollar as Trump tariffs loom

Investors are turning bearish on the U.S. dollar as Trump tariffs loom

“Currency trader positioning is turning bearish on the dollar,” Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM U.S., said on Monday. Bank of America’s Athanasios Vamvakidis said the greenback is likely to rally in the near term, but this will “most likely be an opportunity to sell.” Market watchers told CNBC they see potential upside for the euro, the British pound and Australia and New Zealand’s currencies. The rollout of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs regime is dampening sentiment toward the dollar and prompting investors to look elsewhere for their foreign exchange (FX) trades, strategists told CNBC. The dollar index, which measures the value of the greenback against a basket of major rivals, was little changed on Wednesday morning. The U.S. currency began a steady rise in late 2024 that peaked in mid-January — however, the dollar index has steadily pared some of those gains in recent weeks.The dollar has historically been widely seen as a safe haven asset for investors, given its status as the world’s reserve currency and dominance in international borrowing, payments and trades. When the dollar strengthens, U.S. exports become more expensive, while imports become cheaper. The greenback’s value can also impact global monetary policy, capital flows and corporate earnings.“Currency trader positioning is turning bearish on the dollar and becoming more bullish on the currencies of major U.S. trading partners as the United States prepares to launch a multinational trade war,” said Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM U.S., in a research note published Monday.Euro expected to riseBrusuelas pointed to trades in the euro as a signal of “erosion of confidence in the dollar.”“From late October until the first week of March, the majority of euro positioning was long the dollar,” he said in Monday’s note. “But for three weeks now, net positioning is long the euro.”Jordan Rochester, head of FICC strategy and executive director at Mizuho Bank’s EMEA arm, told CNBC he held “a down then up view” on the euro against the dollar. He sees the euro falling to somewhere between $1.06 and $1.07 before climbing to $1.12 or higher by the end of the year.“I expect this market to price in ‘maximum pain’ once we know the details of the tariffs,” he said in an email, arguing that this presented an “opportunity to take the other side.”“Tariffs [are] unlikely to get worse once fully priced in and [the] EU and others [are likely] to respond with ... retaliatory tariffs of their own which will lead to a recovery later on,” he said. Athanasios Vamvakidis, global head and managing director of G10 FX strategy at Bank of America, told CNBC he saw downside ahead for the dollar, despite expecting tariffs to have an immediate positive impact on the greenback.“For the dollar we have been and we are still bearish for the year as a whole,” he said on a call. “We believe the market is already pricing selective tariffs, but it will get tariffs across the board.”He told CNBC that the dollar could rally this week in the immediate aftermath of tariffs coming into effect, but noted that this “most likely will be an opportunity to sell.”“Beyond the very short term, there are two channels that should lead to dollar weakness,” Vamvakidis explained. “First, when you have the U.S. against the rest of the world in a trade war scenario, then the U.S. eventually will suffer more because ... when you compare it with the rest of the world, the rest of the world is larger. Second, tariffs suggest stagflationary risks — and right now, the market is very concerned about such risks.”Like Brusuelas and Rochester, he predicted that the euro would eventually be boosted by Trump’s trade war. While the U.S. contends with a policy mix that will likely be negative for its currency, Europe is focusing on “growth friendly policies,” Vamvakidis said.“Germany announcing a massive fiscal stimulus, Europe announcing massive spending on defense, plans for structural reforms to focus on growth and competitiveness,” he said. “So far these are plans, but we didn’t even [have] such plans before, and coming from Germany, the economy with the weakest growth in the euro zone and the largest economy in the euro zone and the tightest fiscal policy in the euro zone, this is really a game changer.”Vamvakidis said his team sees the euro reaching $1.15 this year and $1.20 in 2026.Sterling bullsBank of America’s Vamvakidis also argued the British pound has the potential to rise as Trump’s tariffs regime comes into play, noting that the U.S. President has aimed tariff threats at the EU while hinting that Britain could be spared.“Also, there is positive seasonality for sterling in April,” he said. “So in the short term, we should see sterling doing relatively well. For the year as a whole, we also like sterling against the dollar. Against the euro it depends on the implementation of EU reforms.”In a note at the end of March, analysts at Maybank upwardly revised their forecasts for the British pound, saying they now see sterling hitting $1.26 by the end of the year before rising to $1.31 in early 2026. On Wednesday morning, the British currency was trading at around $1.29 against the U.S. dollar.“We ... turn more bullish on the GBP with its plans to increase defence spending, maintain fiscal discipline and easing stagflation risks,” they said. “We maintain our belief that the GBP will be more resilient on the basis that the UK as a services-oriented economy is less likely to be influenced by Trump trade policies. As a close ally of the US, it will probably also be spared from significant actions by the Trump administration. This is in spite of an external environment that remains highly uncertain and challenging.”Australia, New Zealand currencies could be boostedThe Maybank analysts also predicted upside for the New Zealand dollar, giving the currency a target of $0.58 against the greenback by the end of 2024 — a 2.1% rise from current levels.“A rounding bottom has formed for the NZDUSD which portends further recovery,” Maybank’s analysts said, adding that the outlook for the currency remained positive as New Zealand’s economy recovered and the pace of monetary easing was likely to slow.“Both Australia and New Zealand also have stronger balance sheets than most other Western countries — in particular much lower debt to GDP ratios,” Alex King, a former FX trader and founder of personal finance platform Generation Money, said via email.“This means they have much more headroom for potential stimulus measures of their own and [it’s] another factor making them both attractive places for investors, which helps strengthen their currencies.”He added that both countries’ economies were “much less connected to the trade war narrative.”“To combat the effect of tariffs, China is looking at stimulus measures to boost its own economy and this is seen as a positive for the economies of both Australia and New Zealand, both of which tend to run trade surpluses with China,” King told CNBC.

Russian Arctic LNG 2 Project Resumes Gas Processing

Russian Arctic LNG 2 Project Resumes Gas Processing By Charles Kennedy of Oilprice.comArctic LNG 2, the processing and export facility that was billed as Russia’s flagship LNG project, has gradually resumed gas processing after months of hiatus, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing industry sources and satellite images.Arctic LNG 2 has been under U.S. and EU sanctions since last year, and the project hasn’t been able to sell any cargo because of the sanctions.The first production train at the plant was shut in early October over the project developers’ inability to secure buyers amid the Western sanctions on Arctic LNG 2, according to one of Reuters’ sources.The plant continues has now slowly resumed gas processing and keeps it at low rates as Russia expects what the Trump Administration would do with the sanctions.Russian LNG developer and exporter Novatek, the majority owner of Arctic LNG 2, is looking to rebuild relations with the U.S. with the help of lobbyists, sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters in December.Hit heavily by sanctions, Arctic LNG 2 was put on ice last year and Novatek has struggled to sell any cargo to a buyer.Located in the Gydan Peninsula, Arctic LNG 2 was considered key to Russia’s efforts to boost its global LNG market share from 8% to 20% by 2030-2035.But the project has come under intensifying sanctions from the United States, which have put off any buyers that were previously considering buying cargoes from Arctic LNG 2.The project has seen months of delays after the initial U.S. sanctions in November 2023 upended the company’s plans for production start-up and export timelines.In August 2024, the U.S. State Department intensified efforts to derail Arctic LNG 2 exports by targeting companies involved in the development of the project and vessels found to have loaded LNG from the facility.The U.S. designated multiple companies related to Arctic LNG 2 to further disrupt the project’s ability to produce and export LNG, as well as the project’s ability to procure critical LNG carriers.

CNBC Daily Open: Trump tariffs could be hours away — but might be milder than thought

The dread of something bad happening is usually more severe than the event itself.This could well be the case for U.S. President Donald Trump’s wide-ranging tariff plan. Even though Trump initially described it as “reciprocal tariffs,” implying that the U.S. would match other countries’ import levies, the White House is reportedly considering a 20% charge on most goods and services. The figure sounds high, but is dramatically lower than, for instance, India’s tariff on auto imports — which can go up to 70%, according to Times of India.Investors’ worries were slightly assuaged by the news, pushing up stocks. It is, however, too early to let down your guard. Concrete details of Trump’s plans are still unclear. Uncertainty is a bargaining chip for Trump; he could unleash a much more brutal tariff regime than expected.Other times, experiencing something bad could be worse than dreading it.What you need to know todayT-1 to tariffsU.S. President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” will be announced Wednesday and “be effective immediately,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday. Details of Trump’s plans are still unclear, but The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the White House is considering tariffs of around 20% on most imports. Trump’s plan to reshape global trade comes at a time when the U.S. economy is looking increasingly shaky.Volatile tradingU.S. markets mostly rose in a choppy trading session Tuesday. The S&P 500 closed 0.38% up, the Nasdaq Composite added 0.87%, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell a fractional 0.03%. Asia-Pacific stocks were mixed Wednesday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 inched up roughly 0.1%, while South Korea’s Kospi index declined around 0.6% amid annual inflation reaccelerating to 2.1% in March, higher than the 2% in February and expected by a Reuters poll.Freshly listed stocks jumpCoreWeave’s stock popped nearly 42% on Tuesday to close at $52.57, bringing the company to a nearly $25 billion market capitalization. The artificial intelligence cloud company listed Friday in the biggest venture-backed tech IPO for a U.S. company since 2021. Separately, shares of conservative cable channel Newsmax soared nearly 180% Tuesday, a day after the stock spiked more than 700% during its debut on the New York Stock Exchange.Meta’s head of AI research departsMeta’s vice president of AI research, Joelle Pineau, announced in a LinkedIn post Tuesday her departure from the company. Her last day at the social media company will be May 30. Pineau has led the company’s fundamental AI research unit, or FAIR, since 2023. Pineau helped oversee Meta’s open-source Llama family of AI models and other technologies like the PyTorch software for AI developers.[PRO] ‘Avoid the tariff tantrum’The U.S., as the world’s biggest economy, drives the finances of many international companies. Trump’s tariffs are expected to slam the brakes, at least temporarily, on revenue growth of those firms.

구글, 지메일에 종단간 암호화 도입··· “올해 말까지 모든 이메일 지원”
2025-04-02

구글, 지메일에 종단간 암호화 도입··· “올해 말까지 모든 이메일 지원”

구글이 지메일에 새로운 종단간 암호화(E2EE) 기능을 도입했다. 사용자는 이제 구글조차 읽지 못하게 암호화된 이메일을 다른 지메일 사용자에게 보낼 수 있다. 구글은 올해 말까지 이 기능을 확장해 모든 사용자에게 암호화된 이메일을 보낼 수 있도록 할 예정이다.E2EE는 이메일 서버 간 전송 중 암호화(TLS)나 구글 데이터센터에 저장돼 있는 동안의 암호화 기능과는 다르다. E2EE는 사용자가 의도한 수신자만 해독하고 읽을 수 있는 방식으로 메시지를 암호화하는 방식이다.E2EE 작동 방식일반적으로 이메일용 E2EE는 S/MIME(보안/다목적 인터넷 메일 확장)를 통해 구현된다. 이는 공개 키 암호화를 사용해 메시지에 서명하고 암호화하는 공개 프로토콜 및 표준이다. 그러나 S/MIME 구현은 간단하지 않으며, 보통 모든 사용자에 대한 디지털 인증서 획득 및 관리가 필요하다. 또한 S/MIME은 설정된 수신자와만 작동한다.현재 시중에는 추가 소프트웨어, 브라우저 확장 프로그램 또는 웹 포털 배포가 포함된 종단간 암호화 전용 솔루션이 출시돼 있다. 정부 기관을 비롯한 특정 규제 산업 분야의 조직은 일반적으로 민감한 이메일에 대해 E2EE 솔루션을 설정하는 번거로움을 감수하지만, 대부분의 다른 조직은 사용성 문제로 인해 이를 피하고 있다.구글 워크스페이스의 선임 제품 관리자인 조니 버크는 “이런 격차와 과제가 수십 년 동안 IT 팀과 사용자 모두에게 실질적인 마찰을 일으켜 왔다. 조직은 이런 문제를 매우 복잡하고 비용이 많이 드는 IT 관리를 통해 해결하거나 회사 외부 기관과의 통신을 최소화하는 방식으로 해결한다. 둘 다 만족스러운 옵션이 아니다”라고 말했다.구글의 새로운 이메일 암호화 모델구글은 복잡한 사용자 인증서 관리나 메시지 복호화를 위한 외부 조직과의 키 교환이 더 이상 필요하지 않은 새로운 모델을 개발했다.구글의 새로운 E2EE 지메일 구현은 기존 구글 워크스페이스의 클라이언트 측 암호화(CSE) 기능에 의존한다. 이 기능을 통해 고객은 자체 암호화 키를 사용해 파일과 이메일을 클라이언트 측에서 암호화한 후 구글 서버에 저장할 수 있다. 또한 조직은 암호화 키에 대한 액세스 권한을 부여하는 데 사용되는 ID 제공업체와 키를 저장하는 데 사용되는 타사 키 관리 서비스를 제어할 수 있다.E2EE 기능은 현재 베타 버전으로 제공되며, 고객이 일반 지메일 메시지 작성 웹 인터페이스에서 암호화 여부를 선택할 수 있다. 아직까진 동일 조직 내 지메일 사용자 간에만 작동하지만, 앞으로 몇 주 내에 기업 및 개인 계정을 포함한 모든 지메일 수신자에게 활성화될 예정이다.올해 말에 이 기능이 완전히 구현되면, E2EE가 활성화된 워크스페이스 사용자는 모든 외부 이메일 사용자에게 암호화된 메시지를 보낼 수 있게 된다. 수신자는 메시지 대신 링크를 받게 되며, 이를 클릭하면 제한된 버전의 지메일로 이동하여 조직이 선택한 ID 제공업체로 인증한 후 복호화된 메시지를 볼 수 있다. 외부 사용자는 제한된 지메일 인터페이스 내에서 답장할 수도 있다.제한된 보기 기능으로 더 많은 제어 가능기본적으로 지메일 사용자는 제한된 인터페이스를 거칠 필요가 없으며, 의도한 수신자인 경우 이메일이 받은 편지함에 도착하면 자동으로 복호화된다. 그러나 관리자는 민감한 통신이 타사 서버나 장치에 로컬로 다운로드되지 않도록 지메일 사용자를 포함한 모든 사용자에게 제한된 보기 기능을 적용하도록 선택할 수 있다.이 옵션은 승인된 계정 및 ID 제공업체로 인증이 필요하기 때문에 조직은 쉽게 액세스를 취소하고 추가 보안 정책을 적용할 수 있다. 구글은 구글 드라이브에 저장된 공유 문서와 유사한 방식이라고 설명했다.구글 워크스페이스의 제품 관리자 줄리앙 뒤플랑은 “구조적 차원에서 이 접근 방식은 더 포괄적인 암호화 보호 기능을 제공한다. 누구에게 메시지를 보내거나 어떤 이메일을 사용하든 상관없이 메시지는 암호화되며, 사용자만이 완전한 제어권을 갖는다. 키 세트는 하나뿐이며, 사용자만 이를 갖고 있다”라고 언급했다[email protected]

NAB 2025: FW: Telos Alliance Unveils New Features for AudioTools Server

Telos Alliance (Booth N721) will showcase several new AI-driven features to its Minnetonka Audio AudioTools Server file-based audio automation platform at the 2025 NAB Show in Las Vegas.The new features are part of a major software update for AudioTools Server, ATS V7, which is scheduled for release later this year. These enhancements serve as examples of how the creative use of AI can improve the viewing experience for the television and media audience and take advantage of the personalization features of Next Generation Audio.ATS V7 will introduce the ability to measure dialog intelligibility, one of the top audio-related complaints, regardless of how viewers receive or view content. If the measurements reveal viewers will struggle to understand the dialog easily, it can be extracted and processed for increased intelligibility. The ability to isolate dialog will also provide the opportunity for more accurate loudness measurements.ATS V7 will also offer AI-driven language detection. If the dialog in the final audio presentation is in a language other than expected, it can flag the issue and alert the operator. In situations where different language tracks are present on different channel pairs, ATS V.7 can identify and repair the problem, ensuring a higher level of quality control."Our Minnetonka Audio AudioTools Server platform is valued by television and media professionals around the world for automating complex audio workflows, saving time and money for broadcasters while ensuring viewers are provided with the best possible experience,” says Costa Nikols, Telos Alliance Executive Strategy Advisor for Media and Entertainment. “When integrated or combined with the existing suite of ATS features, these new capabilities unlock an entirely new level of efficiency in content creation and delivery, not just for Next Generation Audio, but for all media consumed worldwide today.”
