A ceasefire deal has been reached in Gaza.Long-running negotiations among Israelis, Palestinians, Americans, Qataris, and Egyptians yielded an agreement on Wednesday that will, in the coming days, at least temporarily end the fighting in Gaza and return some Israeli hostages home. The agreement also contains a framework for making the short-term ceasefire permanent parameters that, if honored, would finally bring an end to the bloodiest chapter in the long history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.In theory, this is all to the good. Its long been clear that the Gaza war is a disaster both in humanitarian and political terms: a mass slaughter of Palestinians that has made the prospect of a true Israeli-Palestinian peace even less likely than ever. Gazans will now have a chance to begin rebuilding their lives after unthinkable devastation; Israelis will be able to welcome home at least some of the hostages who had been suffering in Hamas cells.But agreements like these are never guaranteed. There are real reasons to think that the deal might turn into something permanent but also good reasons to believe that it might fail, allowing the carnage to start up once again.Because the full text of the deal has not yet been made public, we cant be sure about every single detail in the agreement. But reporting on the deals terms, which appears to mostly track the Biden administrations May ceasefire proposal, has converged on some key points.To begin with, the deal is split into multiple phases. The first phase covers a temporary pause in fighting, the second covers a permanent end to the war, and the third covers a comprehensive agreement for Gazas political and security future. These latter two phases, at present, remain aspirational. The only binding part of the deal at present is the first phase, which lasts six weeks beginning on Sunday.During this time, both Israel and Hamas will cease combat operations. Israeli troops will withdraw from Gazas main population centers, pulling back to the Philadelphi corridor on Gazas border with Egypt and a so-called buffer zone on Gazan territory bordering Israel. The exact size of this buffer zone is not yet clear.There will also be a prisoner exchange. CNN reports that Hamas will release 33 out of the nearly 100 remaining Israeli hostages who have yet to be released, rescued, or confirmed dead. The New York Times reports that the hostages released are likely to be women, older men, and ill. There are also reports that Hamas will confirm which hostages remain alive and which ones do not.In exchange, Israel will release several hundred Palestinian women and children from Israeli detention, likely including some who have been convicted of terrorism and murder. Those prisoners will have some restrictions on where they can go after release; some reports suggest they will be sent to Gaza and barred from the West Bank, while others suggest theyll be barred from the Palestinian territories entirely.The deal will also include a significant increase in humanitarian aid provision for Gaza. Again, the exact numbers and nature of that aid who will be providing it, what kinds of needs it will meet have not yet been made clear.Its possible that so many details remain vague because they have not yet been fully hammered out. In a Wednesday afternoon statement after the news of a deal broke, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that several items in the framework have yet to be finalized; we hope that the details will be finalized tonight.Is a permanent end to the war coming?When you look at the specific contours of the agreement, what we have so far looks less like an agreement to stop fighting and more like an agreement to pause the fighting while a more permanent solution might be found. Negotiators looking to nail down an agreement for phase two a permanent ceasefire will be working on a six-week clock. If they do not get a deal by then or extend the temporary pause, the fighting is all but certain to begin again.The odds of these various outcomes ceasefire, protracted negotiations, or a return to war are hard to know now. But there are a few factors that are worth considering. First is the nature of Netanyahus coalition. The prime ministers government depends on continued support from the extreme-right Religious Zionism slate, which strongly opposes any permanent end to the war.At present, there is no indication that factions leaders cabinet members Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir are going to be able to stop the deals first phase. But they will likely pose major problems in transitioning to a permanent ceasefire. In fact, one report in the Israeli press suggests Netanyahu has already promised Smotrich he has no intention of entering phase two of the deal. Whether thats true or not is hard to tell; Netanyahu has a habit of telling people exactly what they want to hear and a dubious record of following through on it.Second is Hamass internal politics. While the militant groups army remains operational, with US estimates suggesting it has recruited roughly as many fighters during the current war as it has lost, almost all of its top-level leadership has been killed. The result is Hamass current crop of decisionmakers are new and relatively untested in negotiations; its unclear exactly how they are thinking about their interests or even the extent to which they agree with each other on what those interests are. Third is the Donald Trump factor. Multiple reports suggest that the president-elects personal desire for a deal played a positive role in the talks, putting pressure on Netanyahu who looked like the primary roadblock to a deal into agreeing to the phase one deal. However, we do not know the exact nature of Trumps interest: whether he wants the war to be done permanently, or just wanted a temporary ceasefire he could brag about upon taking office. The incoming US presidents position going forward will likely play a pivotal role, given Israels reliance on the United States.Fourth, and finally, is the war-weariness among both populations.Gazans have been so brutalized around 90 percent of the entire population displaced that they just want the conflict to end. And polls have shown for months that Israelis support a negotiated end to the war. These dynamics will create political costs for leaders on both sides to restarting the fighting, something that might weigh on Netanyahu. Thats especially true given that Israeli elections are scheduled for next year (and likely coming sooner than that).It is good, then, that both Israelis and Gazans appear to be getting at least a temporary respite from the past year-plus of horrors. While there is no certainty of a lasting peace, theres more hope for it than there was before.Youve read 1 article in the last monthHere at Vox, we're unwavering in our commitment to covering the issues that matter most to you threats to democracy, immigration, reproductive rights, the environment, and the rising polarization across this country.Our mission is to provide clear, accessible journalism that empowers you to stay informed and engaged in shaping our world.

By Thomas Maxwell Published January 15, 2025 | Comments (0) | Flashes is a new photo-centric client for Bluesky. Anna Barclay/Getty There is a lot of change in the air of the social media world as TikTok prepares to go dark, Mark Zuckerberg loosens content restrictions on Meta apps, and Elon Musk continues to toy with the X algorithm to suit his personal preferences. Thankfully, despite the fickle nature of most app users, Bluesky seems to have managed to break through and become a really promising alternative. And thanks to the fundamental nature of its open protocol, anyone can build their own apps that piggyback off the Bluesky social graph. Case in point, a developer named Sebastian Vogelsang is building an app that will essentially be a new version of Instagram on top of Blueskys AT Protocol. Because it uses the Bluesky social graph, posts added to Flashes will also appear on the main Bluesky client, and vice-versaphotos posted to Bluesky will show up on Flashes. The app is just filtering out text-based posts and showing only ones with photos or videos. Through the app, users can share photo slideshows with up to four pictures, or videos one minute in length. Vogelsang says that Flashes is not intended to be a complete rip of Instagram and will not receive many features Instagram has. That makes sense, as the app is just a reskin of the Bluesky app. Many people have lamented that they yearn for the days when Instagram was simple, not filled with AI-generated content or weird recommendations. Flashes could potentially help fill that hole.Flashes is a photo-centric app for Bluesky users. Flashes/Sebastian Vogelsang Bluesky got a major boost from Elon Musks acquisition of X, then Twitter, though its growth has slowed in recent months. It is estimated that Bluesky has roughly 27 million active users. That is nowhere near the size of apps like Instagram and TikTok, and it remains quite smaller than X as well. Reaching critical mass for any social network is incredibly tough, and X is only seeing its influence grow as Musk begins serving as President-elect Trumps right-hand man.But Bluesky has a promising future if it is able to keep growing at a moderate pace. The company raised a $15 million investment round back in October with plans to launch paid subscriptions so the company is not reliant on advertising or collecting user data. Most major social networks these days have plugged up their APIs and do not allow third-party clients because they make it difficult to display and target advertising, and the data itself is used to train AI. Vogelsang told TechCrunch that Flashes should launch in the coming weeks. Anyone interested in checking it out can follow the Flashes account on Bluesky for updates.Daily NewsletterYou May Also Like By Matthew Gault Published January 15, 2025 By Matt Novak Published January 14, 2025 By Thomas Maxwell Published January 10, 2025 By AJ Dellinger Published January 9, 2025 By Lucas Ropek Published January 8, 2025 By Matthew Gault Published January 6, 2025

Periscope House / Atelier RZLBDSave this picture! Riley SnellingHousesToronto, CanadaArchitects: Atelier RZLBDAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:122 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 PhotographsPhotographs:Riley Snelling More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. Located in East York, Toronto, Periscope House is a renovation-addition project in which the existing one-story bungalow is renovated and a second floor is added on top. It was commissioned by a young professional couple with two children, to create a more personalized and sustainable setting for their lives. Coinciding with the pandemic, however, which has doubled or even tripled the material costs, it eventually went through a drastic revision, which resulted in removing half of the second floor and relocating children's bedrooms to the ground floor. Yet, by utilizing the removed area as a void, the project has gained a series of double-height spaces on the ground floor, which has bestowed a distinctive exterior form that resembles a periscope or an antique camera with an accordion bellow.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The location of the existing staircase, which is at the north-central part of the existing house, has remained, arranging the programs. To the front are all the public programsthe entry foyer, the mudroom, and the kitchen to the north and a sequence of the sitting room, the living room, and the dining room to the south. To the rear, past the staircase, are all the private programs, such as the bedrooms and the bathrooms, both on the ground floor and the second floor. The new second floor accommodates two major restrictions. First, the new zoning by-laws have enforced a greater side setback, reducing the building width from the south, yet a greater building length, generating a cantilevered structure towards the rear yard. To accentuate the building length even further, two bay windows are added, one on the front at the ground-floor level and another on the rear at the second-floor level, which are permitted encroachments by the zoning by-laws. Second, the strict construction budget followed by the inflation has led to the partial construction of the second floor. Rather than not building it at all, however, half of the second floor has been utilized as an extra ceiling height for the ground floor, introducing spaces of three different scales under the stepped ceiling. The extent of the stepped ceiling has been defined to correspond to the programs underneath, which are the kitchen and the dining room (with the highest ceiling), the mud room and the living room, and the entry foyer and the sitting room (with the lowest ceiling). In contrast to the stepped ceiling, the open-concept floor plan can curate one grand space when needed, dissolving the programmatic divisions. The discrepancy between the width of the existing house and that of the new second floor has been resolved by a linear built-in bench niche, which serves and connects the dining room, the living room, and the sitting room as one continuous, organic space volume.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The front bay window and the three clearstory windows bring dynamic plays of natural light into this double-height space. Located in the intervals of the stepped ceiling, the clearstory windows are matched in width and position with the front bay window, creating visual rhythm and consistency both inside and outside. Through the front bay window, the view can travel all the way to the upper balcony. If the bay window is a viewfinder, through which one looks inside the apparatus that is the building, the clearstory windows act like an aperture, which intakes different amounts of light throughout the day to expose different sceneries inside. The rear bay window, which is in the master bedroom on the second floor, captures the outside. As with the front bay window, it is offset from both the floor and the ceiling, providing a sitting nook where one can enjoy the vista of the neighborhood.Save this picture!Periscope House is the fusion of the existing, the new, and the context of its creation (time, place, etc.). Simultaneously, it has developed into an experiment or an observation on how building less can liberate an architectural space from its many preconceived formulas. Towards sustainability, affordability, and architectural integrity in the scale of single-family houses, the atelier has presented many renovation-addition projects in the city. Among these, Periscope House initiates a new category, setting another step forward in this endeavor.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeAtelier RZLBDOfficePublished on January 15, 2025Cite: "Periscope House / Atelier RZLBD" 15 Jan 2025.

The year in space is off to a strong start for 2025 as two lunar landers from private companies Texas-based Firefly Aerospace and Tokyo-based iSpace have officially launched from Earth and are now headed for the moon. This moment represents the first time two landers from different nations have launched on the same rocket, having taken to the sky on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket during the early hours of January 15, 2025 at 1:11 a.m. EST.The Flight of the Blue Ghost The Firefly lander kicks off the companys Blue Ghost series of missions, designed to deliver payload services to the surface of the moon. This inaugural Blue Ghost mission, dubbed Ghost Riders in the Sky, is responsible for transporting 10 NASA payloads consisting of technologies that will inspect the moons environment and provide findings critical to future human moon landings.The delivery of payloads on Blue Ghost 1 carries significance as part of NASAs Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. The previous two contracted missions through the program saw mixed results: Astrobotic Technologys Peregrine Mission 1, launched in January 2024, suffered a propellant leak that rendered it unable to land on the moon. Intuitive Machines' Odysseus lander (IM-1) launched in February 2024, but tipped upon landing it was, however, still able to function, serving as the first commercial mission to soft-land on the moon.All eyes are now on Blue Ghost 1, which has a targeted moon landing of March 2, 2025. The lander will touch down at Mare Crisium, a large basaltic plain on the lunar near side. It will take 45 days to reach the moon: 25 will be spent in Earths orbit, 4 in lunar transit, and then 16 in lunar orbit before descent onto the moons surface. There, it will conduct surface operations for one lunar day (roughly equal to 14 days here on Earth) and continue collecting data several hours into the lunar night.Studying the Moon With PayloadsMeanwhile, the 10 NASA payloads onboard will administer a multitude of tests; the payloads goals include drilling the moons surface to study lunar heat flow, checking for signals fromsatellites to support future navigation, and measuring the adherence of regolith (lunar dust) on materials to better understand its effect on mechanical components.One instrument will even inform scientists about some of Earths properties: the Lunar Environment heliospheric X-Ray Imager (LEXI) will capture X-ray images that will show how solar wind interacts with the Earths magnetic field, a process that occasionally causes issues with satellites, but also creates stunning instances of aurora borealis in the atmosphere.The Blue Ghost 1 mission is anticipated to make major strides for the CLPS program, and later down the line, two additional Blue Ghost missions will also head to the moon: Blue Ghost 2 in 2026 and Blue Ghost 3 in 2028.As for the rest of 2025, NASA has a busy schedule when it comes to moon missions. It expects to deliver payloads to the moons south pole via three missions throughout the year: IM-2 (featuring Intuitive Machines Nova-C lander) in February, TO 20A (featuring Astrobotics Griffin lander) in September, and IM-3 (also featuring a Nova-C lander) in October. One of NASA's main objectives at the moons south pole is to search for water ice deposits, which could play a crucial role in future missions.A Mission Guided By Resilience Joining Blue Ghost 1 on the Falcon 9 launch is Japanese spacecraft company iSpaces lander, called Resilience. The lander is the driving force behind the companys second attempt to reach the moon, the Hakuto-R Mission 2. The first attempt in 2023, Hakuto-R Mission 1, ended in a lander running out of fuel and crashing onto the moon.A renewed resolve to reach the moon has energized the current mission, bearing the optimistic motto Never Quit the Lunar Quest." To save energy, the mission will take a different, slower path than Blue Ghost 1 the Resilience lander will essentially fly past the moon and, months later, return to get looped back into its orbit. Ultimately, it will land about four or five months after launch.Resilience carries several payloads, including instruments to monitor radiation levels during the mission and test the feasibility of cultivating algae as a food source in space. In addition, its bringing along iSpaces own micro rover, called Tenacious, which will have the task of exploring the landing site (a region on the lunar near side called Mare Frigoris) and collecting regolith.What Will the Future Bring?Looking forward, aerospace companies like iSpace are also concerned with figuring out how to extend the lifespan of equipment that lands on the moon. This is because most standard equipment cannot survive the debilitating environment of the lunar night, when temperatures can drop to negative 280 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite the setbacks experienced in commercial spaceflight in recent years, hopes are high for the current moon missions. The successful launch of Blue Ghost 1 and Resilience has marked a triumphant start to the year, and the ongoing journey of the two landers will undoubtedly set the tone for both the future of this industry and for science in space.

DJI will no longer intervene and prevent operators from flying drones in 'No Fly Zones.' Credit: Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesShareThis week DJI, the worlds leading drone manufacturer, announced a new policy removing enforcement of its No Fly Zone geofences in restricted areas. The sudden shift may lead to more drones hovering where they shouldnt, which could worsen a lingering national panic over flying objects in the sky.DJI, the China-based drone giant, says it will no longer enforce geofence barriers that prevent its products from flying over restricted areas like airports, wildfires, and government buildings. Though the company says these changes are intended to empower its users, they come amid a surge in drone sightings, some around critical infrastructure, that have stoked fears and fueled a growing tide of conspiracy theories. DJIs changes mean operators will have one less guardrail preventing them from flying into risky areas. The drone dama might not be going away anytime soon.DJI wont stop drones from flying over hospitals and wildfiresDJI caused a brief panic in 2015 after a drone operator crash-landed one of its Phantom FC40 on the White House lawn. Backlash to that event led DJI to implement geofenced No Fly Zones around hospitals, government buildings, and other critical zones. As part of those changes, DJI prohibited its drones from taking off in restricted zones. Drones that flew near the boundary of those areas would be forced to automatically decelerate and then hover in place. The voluntary restrictions were an effort by DJI to prevent its users from accidentally flying into sensitive areas where they could potentially interfere with critical services.[ Related: Civilian drone grounds LA firefighting plane ]Thats changing. In a blog post published this week, DJI said it was doing away with geofenced No Fly Zones and replacing them with enhanced warning zones, maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration. Drone operators using DJI Fly and Pilot apps will now receive an in-app alert notifying them if they are approaching an FAA-designated controlled airspace. Operators can choose to ignore those alerts. Crucially, it will now be left in the hands of the operators to decide whether or not they will avoid the area.DJI says its removing the geofences to place more control back in the hands of its operators and put its policies in line with regulatory principles of the operator bearing final responsibility. The company claims it implemented No Fly Zones help foster responsible flight practices during a period where drones were less common and regulatory environments surrounding their use were still being flushed out. Now, according to DJI, regulations both in the US and the EU have made the boundaries considered controlled airspace more clear. DJI did not immediately respond to our request for comment but defended the change in statements sent to The Verge on Tuesday.This GEO update aligns with the principle advanced by aviation regulators around the globeincluding the FAAthat the operator is responsible for complying with rules, DJI told The Verge.In a statement sent to Popular Science, the FAA said the agency does not require geofencing from drone manufacturers. Individual drone operators are required to obtain proper airspace authorization and comply with regulations.Generally speaking, it is legal to fly a drone in most locations if youre operating under 400 feet, but there are rulesincluding passing pilot safety tests, keeping the drone in sight, avoiding all other aircraft, not causing a hazard to any people or property, and avoiding restricted airspace, the FAA said.Geofence removals could further stoke drone panicBy giving users the final call on where drones can ultimately operate, DJI is potentially absolving itself of blame or responsibility if one of its products ends up somewhere its not supposed to be. But it also might increase the odds of that very scenario taking place with more frequency. In December, the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, FAA, and the Department of Defense issued a joint statement saying they had received over 5,000 alleged drone sightings in a matter of weeks. Those sightings were part of a broader phenomenon, fueled by social media, where Americans claimed to be seeing objects in the sky everywhere they looked. Some narratives suggested these odd flying objects were actually advanced military aircraft or possibly even signs of extraterrestrial life.In reality, many of these supposed sightings may have actually been commercial planes, satellites, and planets misidentified as UAPs. But there were also undoubtedly consumer hobbyist drones flooding the skies, some of which appear to have crossed into restricted airspace. Citing these cases, the FAA on December 20 said it was temporarily restricting drones from flying overhead 51 utility sites spread out across New Jersey and New York. The FAA says it put the restrictions in place because the rising number of drones in the sky seemed to be leading some people to try and damage them with pointing lasers. Those same lasers could pose a threat to pilots operating aircraft.DJIs decision to remove its mandatory geofence has drawn criticism from the companys own former leadership. In a statement posted on X this week, former DJI head of Global Policy Brendan Schulman warned the changes could have an enormous impact, particularly among drone pilots with less knowledge of airspace restrictions.There was substantial evidence over the years that automatic drone geofencing, implemented using a risk-based approach, contributed significantly to aviation safety, Schulman said.Screenshot: X DJIs policy change comes less than one week after one of its drones reportedly collided with a firefighting super scooper aircraft that was deployed to combat raging fires in Los Angeles. The impact forced the pilot to ground the plane as fires raged on. Officials from the FBI, which is currently investigating the collision, told CBS News the drone appeared to have violated temporary FAA flight restrictions. Thats not the only time something like this has happened either. Last year, first responders rushing to aid hurricane survivors saw an uptick in civilian drones operating in restricted airspace. Some of those drones operating in unauthorized areas reportedly contributed to an uptick in mid-air close-call events.DJI caught in US government crosshairsAny increase in DJI drones found operating in unauthorized airspace could further erode its view among US regulators and lawmakers, some of which believe the companys products could be used as foreign espionage tools. Import restrictions put in place by the Department of Homeland Security reportedly already prevented DJI from selling its most recent Air 3S model in the US. Just this month, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said the agency was considering new rules that would restrict the sale of Chinese-made drones in the US. That decision will ultimately lie in the hands of incoming president Donald Trump, who has previously voiced concern over supposed security risks tied to drones imported from China and Russia.DJI, the worlds leading drone maker, is caught directly in the US governments spotlight and these geofence changes may only sharpen that unwanted attention.
