Just under a third of respondents in Austria are in favor of EU enlargement, while across Europe half are in favor. However, just under one-third of Austrian respondents disapprove of the EU as a whole, an increase of four percentage points compared with the previous Eurobarometer. On average in Europe, only 18 percent feel this negatively about the Union. Austrian respondents are particularly skeptical about close military cooperation within the EU. Only 56 percent are in favor of a common EU security and defense policy, compared with 77 percent across Europe. Interestingly, however, there is a high willingness to support Ukraine not only humanitarian and financially. Around two-thirds of Europeans and just under half of Austrians surveyed are in favor of accession candidate status for Ukraine. The survey, entitled ...

​ ​ Following the court filing that shows FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) wants access to FTX’s $460 million in Robinhood shares, Delaware bankruptcy court documents show tens of millions were spent by the FTX team in 2022 on living accommodations, hotels, food, and flights. Moreover, SBF’s quantitative trading firm allegedly owes more than $55,000 to Jimmy Buffett’s beach resort, Margaritaville, after Alameda and FTX executives occupied 20 suites for a few months last year.    With every court filing published, it seems that FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF) so-called “ effective altruism ” wasn’t a top priority during the last nine months. On Jan. 8, 2023, Bitcoin.com News   reported   on SBF telling the  court he needed access to the $460 million in Robinhood shares to “pay for his criminal defense.” Furthermore, the former FTX CEO explained that customers “face only the possibility of economic loss.” Meanwhile, court filings  reviewed ...

We’ve seen some pretty stunning images of the moon over the years thanks to high-powered imaging tools from NASA and other space agencies, but you don’t need a massive observatory just to create a gorgeous picture of Earth’s closest neighbor. Photographer Andrew McCarthy produced the incredible moon image you see above, using a Sony camera and a standalone ZWO astronomy camera that you can buy yourself for under $300. The catch? Well, the image isn’t a single photo but the result of some 50,000 individual photos snapped, studied and then stitched together. That’s a lot of work for a single image, but the result suggests it was more than worth it. There’s a ton of detail in the final 81-megapixel image and you could stare at it for a while and still notice new features that jump out at you from the moon’s surface. It’s a gorgeous image and it took plenty of work to make it happen. “The lit side of the moon was processed using 25 ’tiles’ that were stitched together in P...
