Cryptocurrencies soared on Sunday as President Trump named five digital tokens set to form part of a United States “crypto reserve”. In a surprise announcement, Trump revealed that XRP, cardano (ADA), solana (SOL), bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) will comprise the government-backed reserve in a move aimed at bolstering the status of digital assets. Values of XRP, SOL and ADA initially soared, with XRP jumping from $2.23 to $2.99—adding $44 billion to its market value—and solana gaining 20 per cent in minutes. The second wave of buying was sparked by Trump’s later disclosure that bitcoin and ethereum would also be…

Donald Trump’s cruel and chaotic second term is just getting started. In his first month back in office, Trump and his lackey Elon Musk (or is it the other way around?) have proven that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar of unchecked power and riches. Only robust independent journalism can cut through the noise and offer clear-eyed reporting and analysis based on principle and conscience. That’s what The Nation has done for 160 years and that’s what we’re doing now. Our independent journalism doesn’t allow injustice to go unnoticed or unchallenged—nor will we abandon hope for a better…

Modern data workflows are increasingly burdened by growing dataset sizes and the complexity of distributed processing. Many organizations find that traditional systems struggle with long processing times, memory constraints, and managing distributed tasks effectively. In this environment, data scientists and engineers often spend excessive time on system maintenance rather than extracting insights from data. The need for a tool that simplifies these processes—without sacrificing performance—is clear. DeepSeek AI recently released Smallpond, a lightweight data processing framework built on DuckDB and 3FS. Smallpond aims to extend DuckDB’s efficient, in-process SQL analytics into a distributed setting. By coupling DuckDB with 3FS—a high-performance,…
