Google will be changing the way it handles location data so that it's no longer possible to provide location data for warrents.
This is good for us as it will now be harder for feds to unconstitutionally track your every move.

🚢 🇨🇳 🇮🇱 OOCL has dropped all shipping to/from Israel because of the Houthi activities in the Red Sea. OOCL is part of the COSCO group which is in the world's top 5 shipping companies.
🔶️ This on top of all the other major shipping companies rerouting the ships on the Asia-Europe route to around the Cape of Good Hope which adds a lot to their fuel bills, costs, and shipping times; and deprives Egypt of Suez Canal fees.

🇨🇱 🗳 ❗️ — In a New Referendum, Chilean population rejects a new Constitution Project that would replace the Pinochet Era's National-Capitalist one for a Liberal-Conservative-leaning with social-democratic elements one!
Such a thing is a new defeat for the Chilean Left-Progressive Government and moderate sectors of the Chilean Right who expected the population to accept a constitutional project that would please both sectors of society
Now, Chile returns to the constitutional deadlock that has lasted 4 years and remains with the Pinochet Era Constitution

🛢 📈 🚢 Oil and gas prices jump as BP stops Red Sea shipments because of attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels
🔶️ Oil rose sharply on the news. Brent crude, the global benchmark, was up 1.1% to $77 a barrel. US oil rose 1% to $72 a barrel.
🔶️ The news disrupted the entire energy market: Futures prices for Europe’s benchmark natural gas contract surged nearly 8%, before paring gains to trade 5.5% higher by early afternoon Monday, at €35 ($38.20) per megawatt hour. That’s still well below the all-time high of €320 ($349.24) per megawatt hour seen in August 2022, at the height of the continent’s energy crisis, but a clear sign of disruption to energy prices following the attacks.
🔶️ “This means that one week of meaningful capacity rerouting could have ripple effects for several months ahead, after a lag of a few weeks,” UBS analysts wrote in a note Sunday, highlighting that around 30% of global container trade passes through the Suez Canal.

The Red Sea is now largely closed to traffic, affecting 8.8 million bpd of daily oil transit, and nearly 380 million tons of daily cargo transit. Global traffic now will be rerouted around Cape of Good Hope, adding on average 40% to voyage distance and even more in expense.
The collective vessel market share of MSC, Hapag Lloyd, and Maersk — each of which are recent victims to piracy attacks and have decided to totally suspend voyages via the Red Sea — is approximately 40% of global cargo trade. Transit times from Asia to the Mediterranean were at a threshold last month, and are now expected to rise up to an additional 10-14 days.
Meanwhile, global sea freight face additional risks in the Western hemisphere as drought conditions plague the Panama canal.
Sue Terpilowski of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, which represents companies concerned with supply chains, told the BBC about the likely spike in costs after four of the top five companies in the world suspended operations in the area:
“It’s security to the crew, to the ship itself and also insurance policies. Premiums are now going sky high if they can get insurance at all, so it’s going to have serious implications on stock levels, on costs and the whole dynamics of supply chains.”
The acceleration of de-globalization is leading to a surge of uncertainty along major global maritime routes and transport expenses.
