美军中央司令部8日发布消息说，美军当天在阿曼湾向两艘“违反美国封锁令”的伊朗油轮发射精确制导弹药，使其丧失航行能力。在美军发布消息5小时前，记者获得这两艘油轮遭袭并请求援助的无线电录音。 消息说，美军当天针对两艘悬挂伊朗国旗的空载油轮“SEA STAR III”号和“SEVDA”号实施了封锁措施，这两艘油轮当时正试图驶入阿曼湾一个伊朗港口。一架隶属于“布什”号航空母舰的美国海军F/A-18“超级大黄蜂”战斗机向这两艘油轮的烟囱发射了精确制导弹药，使其丧失航行能力。 消息说，美军战斗机6日在阿曼湾对另一艘悬挂伊朗国旗的油轮开火，击毁了这艘空载油轮的舵机。目前，上述3艘油轮均已停止向伊朗方向航行。 消息说，美国自4月13日起对往来伊朗港口的船只实施封锁以来，已有超过50艘船只被强制改变航向。 在美军发布消息5小时前，霍尔木兹海峡附近被困船只海员向新华社记者提供的两段无线电录音显示，两艘油轮当天遭遇袭击并请求援助。根据录音中通报的船名“SEA STAR III”和“SEVDA”查询，两艘船均为伊朗油轮。（新华社）

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Cloudflare ( NET ) cratered 20% during Friday morning market action after issuing its first-quarter results and guidance and announcing a 20% reduction to its workforce. However, financial firms were mostly upbeat on the report, finding the reduction in workforce, or RIF, will help improve the company's financials. "We believe this is coming from a position of strength to truly change the operating model to be AI-first given the momentum in the business and plans for accelerated quota-carrying hiring vs. a cost-cutting exercise to correct over-hiring," said RBC Capital Markets analysts, led by Matthew Hedberg, in an investor note. "The changes come off the heels of 600% growth in internal AI usage and massive productivity gains by employees. With that, management believes there fundamentally doesn't need to be as many support roles, and the 'middle' layer of the organization is less relevant in an agentic world." RBC maintained its Outperform rating and $240 price target on the stock. Truist Securities analysts echoed the sentiment, maintaining its Buy rating and $225 price target. "Management emphasized that rapid internal adoption of AI is driving significant productivity gains across engineering and go-to-market functions and has reduced the need for certain support roles, while investment in customer-facing capacity (e.g., quota-carrying sales) will continue to expand," said Truist analysts, led by Junaid Siddiqui, in a note. "We view this move as a proactive step to align the organization with AI-native workflows, supporting improved efficiency, faster innovation cycles, and incremental margin expansion over time." Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley retained its Overweight rating and $245 price target, declaring Cloudflare a clear winner in agentic AI. "Management plans to focus future hiring on sales reps, developers, and product/engineering roles and was clear on the call that quota-carrying sales capacity is being ...

Filecoin (FIL) has been preaching the gospel of decentralized storage since 2017. It promises to be the backbone of Web3’s data infrastructure, aiming to upend Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud by letting users rent out their hard drive space in exchange for FIL tokens. In theory, it’s genius. Cloud storage without the cloud overlords. In practice, it’s been a rollercoaster. Once hyped as the bedrock of the decentralized internet, Filecoin has struggled to maintain its shine. Adoption hasn’t exactly skyrocketed, token inflation is a concern and its price performance has felt more Web2 than Web3 . Still, you can’t write off a project trying to solve the massive problem of centralized data monopolies. If the Web3 world ever gets serious about where it stores its data, Filecoin could finally get its redemption arc.

Local elections appear to signal end of two-party politics with five parties in the game in England It all panned out pretty much as everyone had expected. Nigel Farage was insufferably pleased with himself. Keir Starmer looked hunted while insisting he was going to remain prime minister for ever. Longer possibly. Kemi Badenoch grinned wildly, saying the Tories were back in the game as they slumped to insignificance everywhere but the south-east. Ed Davey became supreme leader of the People’s Republic of Richmond upon Thames where the Lib Dems won all 54 seats. Zack Polanski chose not to make an appearance before lunchtime. And Huw Irranca-Davies, Labour’s erstwhile deputy first minister in Wales, conceded defeat before a vote had been counted. Business as usual. Except it wasn’t. These were the local elections that appeared to signal the end of two-party politics. There were now five parties in the game in England. That’s before we had got to Plaid Cymru in Wales and the SNP in Scotland. And by the end of the night, Labour and the Conservatives were lying in ruins. Their only consolation being that their losses weren’t even worse. If their election campaigns had taught them anything, it was how to manage expectations. Continue reading...

Developers bankrolled by two of the world’s biggest asset managers set their sights on building a massive data-center hub in Northern Virginia. A fight over newspaper advertising threw their plans into disarray. Compass Datacenters , backed by investment giant Brookfield Asset Management , has abandoned plans for an 800-plus acre campus in Virginia’s Prince William County. The pivot followed strident opposition from local groups, culminating in recent court rulings voiding zoning approvals granted in 2023. Blackstone Inc. ’s QTS filed an appeal to salvage a similarly sized development on adjacent parcels. The combined projects would have created a tech corridor roughly twice the size of New York’s Central Park. One point of contention: Whether a key zoning meeting giving the developers approval to build was properly advertised. The first two public notices for the meeting were published in the Washington Post three days apart, not the minimum of six that laws required, courts have found. The fight has created a rift among residents, cost county taxpayers $1.7 million and set back the developers behind the “Digital Gateway” plan. The saga, one chapter in data-center operators’ uphill battle to grab a bigger piece of the artificial intelligence boom, is a reminder that all the private equity cash in the world can’t buy the hearts and minds of towns and cities. Historic Battlefield The Digital Gateway was an ambitious plan for a 2,100-acre corridor that would house as many as 37 data-center buildings. The idea took shape when groups of property owners, their land criss-crossed by cherished high-voltage lines, struck deals with QTS and Compass Datacenters. But the site, located near a Civil War battlefield, encroaches on Virginia’s “ rural crescent ” — an area protected from development. It galvanized preservationists and nearby residents worried about the impact on home values. In late 2023, county planners recommended denying QTS and Compass’s requests to convert an a...
Over the last couple of months, some growth investors have rotated away from SaaS stocks over fears that agentic AI toolkits from OpenAI and Anthropic could render traditional software platforms obsolete.

Over the last couple of months, some growth investors have rotated away from SaaS stocks over fears that agentic AI toolkits from OpenAI and Anthropic could render traditional software platforms obsolete. With shares down over 38% on the year, ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) has been one of the largest casualties of the so-called SaaSpocalypse. In my view, the AI obsolescence narrative is overblown. However, ServiceNow's revenue growth and gross margins reveal deeper, longer-standing issues. What looks like modest deterioration is masking a small but persistent drag that raises real questions about whether ServiceNow still qualifies as a high-growth SaaS machine.
