Almost like in "Dune": in the USA, a jacket has been created for extracting drinking water from the air in extreme conditions. The trick is in detachable inserts with a hydrogel fabric that absorbs moisture from the environment. To extract the liquid, these inserts need to be placed in a special folding device that can be carried in a backpack. It is promised that just one small piece of fabric provides about a liter of water per day. In the future, the technology is also planned to be used in tents and other camping gear.

Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, BlackRock, and Coinbase are launching a new stablecoin, OUSD The largest financial and crypto companies have announced the launch of the Open Standard (OUSD) stablecoin. The project involves Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, BlackRock, Coinbase, as well as several dozen other companies. ### How it will work Partners of the project will receive all profits from the reserves of the stablecoin, deducting a small fee for Open Standard's operational expenses. This differs from most existing stablecoins where the issuer (Tether or Circle) keeps the majority of the profit for themselves. OUSD is positioned as an open standard, in which several major players act as both issuers and beneficiaries simultaneously. This is intended to increase trust in the stablecoin among institutional investors and traditional financial companies. ### Why is this needed - Create an alternative to USDT and USDC with a more distributed revenue model. - Simplify the integration of stablecoins for large companies (Visa, Mastercard, Stripe). - Attract institutional capital through the participation of BlackRock and other traditional players. - Reduce the concentration risks present in centralized stablecoins. Official details about the backing of OUSD (which assets will be in reserves) and the exact mechanics of profit distribution among participants have not been disclosed yet. It is expected that more detailed information will be available in the coming weeks. The project is already being hailed as one of the most serious attempts by the traditional financial world to create its own major stablecoin.

An open-source coding model has been released that outperforms Claude Opus 4.7 on key benchmarks DeepReinforce has released Ornith-1.0, a family of open-source models tailored for agent encoding. There are four variants: 9B Dense, 31B Dense, 35B MoE, and 397B MoE. Based on Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5. The key idea of the model is that it learns not only to solve tasks but also to build scenarios for their solutions. Conventional models receive a ready-made "framework" of how to approach the task and work with it. Ornith generates and improves it during the training process. The flagship 397B version scored 77.5 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 82.4 on SWE-Bench Verified. Claude Opus 4.7 on the same tests shows 70.3 and 80.8. The 35B version outperforms Qwen 3.5-397B on Terminal-Bench, meaning a model eleven times smaller in parameters works better on this test. The 9B variant, which runs on regular hardware, outperforms Gemma 4-31B on several benchmarks. All models are available on Hugging Face.

Euro Digital: Europe is preparing money that will work even without the internet Euro digital has taken a new step forward in Brussels. The idea is for any citizen to be able to pay with a digital version of the euro, issued by the European Central Bank (ECB), including without an internet connection. Payments can be made with a phone, card, online, and offline - and rely less on Visa, Mastercard, and private banks. ### What is already raising questions: - Limits will be set on how much digital euros can be stored. - Many stores may be required to accept it. - Banks fear that some of the money will be taken from their accounts. - Millions of citizens are concerned about privacy of data. The ECB promises that digital euro will not replace cash, and offline payments will have an increased level of confidentiality (similar to cash). However, the discussion in Europe has long gone beyond just the technology. This is a question of power: do we need public digital money or are we opening the door to too much control over how we pay?

🙂 Google is testing a new captcha with a camera... ➠ reCAPTCHA against AI bots: instead of searching for traffic lights and bicycles, users are asked to turn on the camera and wave their hand. ➠ The camera captures a short video of the gesture, and the system reads not the actual identity, but the movement of the hand: 21 key points of the hand - joints, fingers, and their positions in the frame. ➠ The company claims that the system only analyzes the hand movement, doesn't record sound, doesn't link the video to an individual, and deletes the recording immediately after verification. ➠ Currently, this captcha is only available to a limited group of users. ➠ But on Twitter (X) there is already a debate about privacy: people disapprove the idea that to verify "I'm not a robot," you need to grant the website access to the camera.

Turkey introduces 20-year tax holiday on foreign income for new residents Ankara, June 7, 2026 President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan has achieved the adoption of one of the most significant tax reforms in recent years. On June 4, 2026, Law No. 7582 was published in the Official Gazette, introducing a 20-year exemption from income tax on income earned outside of Turkey. According to the new rule (Article Mükerrer Madde 20/D of the Income Tax Law No. 193), individuals who become tax residents of Turkey and have not had any residence or tax obligations in the country for the previous three calendar years, are entitled not to pay Turkish tax on foreign income and capital gains for 20 years. Only income earned within Turkey is subject to tax, at a regular progressive rate ranging from 15% to 40%. What is exempt from tax - Dividends and interest from foreign companies and accounts - Rent for properties abroad - Salary from a foreign employer - Pensions from abroad - Capital gains from the sale of shares on foreign stock exchanges and real estate outside Turkey Additional reform measures The law also reduces the inheritance and gift tax rate to a fixed 1% for qualifying new residents (instead of the usual progressive scale of up to 30%). Additionally, a new capital amnesty program (Varlık Barışı) is introduced. Until July 31, 2027, individuals and companies can declare cash, gold, foreign currencies, and securities held abroad or unaccounted for in Turkey. When transferring funds to Turkish banks, assets are protected from tax audits and additional taxes (tax rate during the amnesty ranges from 0% to 5% depending on the timing and asset retention commitments). Who the reform is aimed at The new rules primarily target: - Returning Turkish citizens who have lived abroad for a long time - Foreign investors and digital nomads - High-status individuals planning to relocate and optimize asset structures The reform was initiated by Erdogan on April 24, 2026, and swiftly passed through parliament (approved on May 21). The law officially came into effect upon its publication on June 4, 2026. Experts note that Turkey is attempting to attract capital and talent amidst global competition for mobile taxpayers. Turkish authorities emphasize that the exemption does not apply to income earned within the country and that anti-money laundering rules remain in place.
