The Jensen Huang scandal is casting a shadow over data centers halfway across the world

Jensen Huang has resigned from Nvidia after allegations of an affair with a Singapore-based Chinese spy. Megaspeed, the company at the center of the scandal, has been accused of funneling Nvidia chips to China. The scandal could increase scrutiny and costs for AI infrastructure operators in Southeast Asia. Jensen-Gate isn't just Nvidia's problem anymore. Data center operators across Southeast Asia might be getting caught in the fallout. In case you missed it, former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has had a rough week. On Sunday, The New York Times published an exposé that the executive had an affair with Singapore-based Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, believed to be passing sensitive Nvidia information to Beijing. Alice Huang worked at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center company that is the largest Nvidia customer in Southeast Asia, per Bloomberg.

张千帆|坚持在谎言时代讲真话

CDT 档案卡 标题:张千帆|坚持在谎言时代讲真话 作者:张千帆 发表日期:2026.11.12 来源:微信公众号-yongsyongs 主题归类:宪政 CDS收藏:公民馆 版权说明:该作品版权归原作者所有。中国数字时代仅对原作进行存档,以对抗中国的网络审查。详细版权说明。 我和刘律师神交已久,但第一次个人联系应该是在2020年2月L医生病逝的时候。我还在德国科隆做学术访问,他来电很恳切地主张中国将李医生逝世的日子设立为“全民讲真话日”。我认为这是极好的倡议,当然表示支持,只是我坚持将2月6日设为“中国言论自由日”更好。后来我们各自提出了大同小异、殊途同归的倡议。之后,在荣伟先生的“思想者沙龙”群里又遇到书庆,不时能从他的高见中受益。我的印象是,他不只是一位严谨的律师,也是一位很有创见的思想者。 拿到这部书稿的时候,我首先感到的是一种久违的阅读快感——不是那种激扬文字带来的愉悦,而是直白、较真、时常带有保留的所产生的冰水般的清醒。 书庆把自己比作刺猬,借用那句西方谚语:狐狸知道很多事情,但刺猬知道一件大事。我的理解,他的那件大事就是法治与政治伦理的应然状态。翻阅全书,你会发现他对这件大事的坚守:无论话题从哪里起跑,落点几乎总是同一个地方——公权力应当被限制,个人权利应当被尊重。这句话在他不同的文章里用不同的方式说了无数遍,不厌其烦,仿佛一个在露天广场上反复重申同一道算题的数学老师,坚信只要把题目讲得足够清楚,学生终究会明白。 作为一个长期研究宪法制度的学者,我读这本书感受到了一种特殊的对照感。学院派的宪法研究习惯于在规范与现实之间划一道界线:文本“应当”如此,现实“实际”如此,两者之间的落差正是学术的张力所在。书庆的写作则是从那道落差的另一面进入——出发点不是文本,而是现实,从法庭、从被告的拘留室、从病人被挡在医院门口的那一刻,反向追问:那个“应当如此”的应然状态究竟在哪里? 这个路径有其独特的认识论价值。宪法学善长分析制度设计,却容易使人忘记,制度的意义是被具体的人在具体的处境中感受和检验的。书庆代理过的许志永案、庆安枪击案、“女权五姐妹”案以及无数个以口袋罪“寻衅滋事”为名的案件,每一个都是制度被扭曲运用的样本,也都是制度应然状态被遮蔽的现场。他对法治的理解不是书斋里的推演,而是从法治实践的现场里蒸馏出来的。…

‘Dolly loved every one of you,’ Stella Parton tells LGBTQ+ fans at Out100 gala

This story originally appeared on The Advocate. For the millions who loved Dolly Parton, she was a country music legend and a steadfast LGBTQ+ ally. For Stella Parton, she was also the big sister she talked with just about every day. That personal connection took center stage Thursday night at the Out100 gala at Sunset Room & Laya in Los Angeles, where Stella Parton accepted The Advocate’s 2026 Advocate of the Year award on her late sister’s behalf. “The thing that I miss most about talking with her just about every day is her optimism,” Stella Parton said. “And I want you to keep that alive.” Dolly Parton died August 25 at age 80. The Advocate later named her its 2026 Advocate of the Year, recognizing a lifetime of artistry, generosity and support for LGBTQ+ people.

Ukraine says the Starshield speed limit is back and Russian 'strikes have already gone through'

Ukraine says it's being hit with a slowdown in its military version of Starlink — again. Zelenskyy said his staff are asking the US what happened, but so far "know very little." SpaceX denied that the service has been affected over Ukraine. Ukraine's Starlink problems are back, it said on Thursday. Troops and officials said their access to Starshield, the military version of Starlink, has been curbed once again to a 100-mph speed limit, severely disrupting war operations such as air defense and strikes in Russia's rear. It's the second time that Kyiv has reported a major disruption to the service, coming about three weeks after Ukraine said it suffered a 10-day slowdown under a similar speed limit. "The speed limit is back at 161 kilometers per hour. That's 100 miles per hour," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at a summit in Dublin.

美商務部擬出新規 阻中企遠程訪問他國AI芯片

首頁新聞美國新聞文章正文美商務部擬出新規 阻中企遠程訪問他國AI芯片圖為示意圖。2025年1月14日,美國商務部。(Madalina Vasiliu/大紀元)中港台時間 2026-11-1313:55 發表【大紀元2026年11月13日訊】(大紀元記者高杉編譯報導)媒體披露,美國商務部(Commerce Department)正在敲定一項外界期待已久的新規,以期阻止中國人工智能(AI)企業通過其它國家的數據中心遠程使用先進AI芯片。管制新增七國據科技媒體信息報週三(11月11日)引述兩名知情人士的消息報導,新規最快可能在本月公布,目前商務部正與其它政府部門磋商,之後才能定案。知情人士透露,新規將擴大美國商務部工業與安全局(Bureau of Industry and Security)現有的半導體相關管制範圍。受約束的國家新增7個,包括馬來西亞、新加坡、泰國、巴西、印度尼西亞、挪威和南非。管制範圍涵蓋英偉達(Nvidia)的布萊克韋爾(Blackwell)及以上等級芯片。現行制度下,沙特阿拉伯和越南等國取得許可證後即可進口先進人工智能芯片,許可證附有限制遠程訪問、防止芯片走私等條件。其中一名知情人士說,新規要求申請進口芯片的客戶向商務部說明接收方是誰、用途是什麼,並接受持續監控。該措施還將有助於打擊芯片走私。美企數據中心有例外報導指出,新規可能遭到相關國家政府及在國外經營的美國企業的反對。不過,對於美國企業在這些國家經營的數據中心,只要限制特定性能的芯片被遠程用於中國、俄羅斯和委內瑞拉等受美國武器禁運的國家,就不需要許可證。這些企業的申報義務也將被修改,包括告知商務部是否有來自受管制國家的客戶,並報告客戶身份及其算力規模等。商務部受到關注和批評信息報說,所謂「遠程訪問漏洞」長期受到出口管制專家關注,因為中國企業可藉此通過主要位於東南亞的數據中心,使用本應受限的先進芯片。商務部及其下屬的工業與安全局局長凱斯勒(Jeffrey…

Lisa Kudrow praises Andrew Scott's ‘courage and pride’ at the Out100 gala

Lisa Kudrow introduced Andrew Scott, who was honored as Icon of the Year at the 2026 Out100 gala. Scott, Out's November/December cover star, has received critical acclaim for his portrayal as Ian Charleson in the upcoming film Elsinore, about the late gay actor's final stage performance. Kudrow opened her remarks by asking the crowd how many had seen Scott in Hamlet, praising his performance as a gateway to Shakespeare. “How many of you understood what you were hearing for the first time in your life?” she asked, to cheers. “I know. Me too.” She joked that Scott’s portrayal of the “Hot Priest” in Fleabag was “probably a favorite role of some of the people in this room.” But Kudrow also reminded the audience of a role Scott had this year in another celebrated production. "I don't think I'm the only one to clock that you are receiving this award the year that you were in the finale of The Comeback. So you’re welcome. Don't feel like you have to get me anything.

No. 23 Baylor volleyball stuns No. 7 BYU for largest home upset since 2021

By Bennett Parker | Sports Writer No. 23 Baylor volleyball found itself tied at 24 in the fourth set against No. 7 BYU. The Bears did not want to lose its momentum and an opportunity for the upset after leading 24-22 with match point. Junior opposite hitter Grace Carroll put Baylor back ahead, and senior middle blocker Victoria Davis tipped the ball back over the net, proving to be too much for the Cougars to handle. The kill cemented the 3-1 shocker and sent the Ferrell Center into a frenzy. Baylor (15-8, 7-6 Big 12) snapped a dominant 17-game win streak from BYU (20-2, 12-1 Big 12), handing the Cougars their first loss in conference play, 25-18, 30-28, 21-25, 26-24. The victory marks the highest-ranked win at home since the Bears toppled No. 1 Texas in 2021. It is also their best overall win since August 2022, when they beat No. 3 Wisconsin on the road. Baylor has come up short against ranked opponents time and time again this season.

No. 1 Caledonia romps past Cannon Falls in Class 2A state quarterfinals

ROCHESTER — Expectations are always sky high for the Caledonia football team and the Warriors are living up to those lofty standards this season. The Warriors made perhaps their biggest statement this season as they overwhelmed Cannon Falls 63-12 on Thursday in a Class 2A state quarterfinal game at Rochester Mayo High School. The Warriors, the top-ranked overall team in the state in Class 2A, will now face Hawley in the state semifinals at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 20 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. “It’s always a goal, growing up watching all these guys playing in the Bank and you always want to get to that point,” Caledonia running back/linebacker Bodie Knutson said. The Warriors now remain on task in a quest for their 12th football state championship. They have earned state berths in 16 of the past 21 seasons. The current batch of Caledonia players grew up watching the Warriors have a tremendous amount of success and they have the same desire and goals.

Clearbrook-Gonvick falls short of upset in 9-player state quarterfinal

GRAND RAPIDS — After winning a section title last week against Blackduck, the Clearbrook-Gonvick High School football team faced its toughest test yet in the 9-player state quarterfinal: undefeated Cromwell-Wright. The Cardinals were the No. 2 seed in the North, but Clearbrook-Gonvick could smell an upset. The Bears kept the game within reach, but in the end, the Cardinals walked away with a 24-20 victory on Thursday night in Grand Rapids. C-W didn't have a successful 2-point conversion all night, but it scored just enough touchdowns to hold off the Bears. After falling down 6-0 in the first quarter, the Bears responded with a 7-yard touchdown by Avery Ostenaa. He was the star of the Section 6 Championship last week, scoring five touchdowns. C-G took its first lead of the night thanks to a 23-yard touchdown run by Ostenaa, who also punched in a 2-point conversion to go ahead 14-6. C-W tacked on a pair of touchdowns — one in the second quarter and one in the third.

Baylor puts up 2nd-most points in Collen era in 121-43 win over Prairie View A&M

By Carson Vercoe | Sports Writer Baylor women’s basketball’s offense hummed in a 70-point win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Sunday, recording 112 points. The Bears followed that stellar performance with an even more impressive one Thursday night against Prairie View A&M. Baylor (4-0) put up the second-most points under head coach Nicki Collen, scoring 121 points on 65.7% shooting as the Bears flew past the Panthers (1-1) 121-43. The mark trails only to the 124-44 victory over McNeese State in 2023. Junior forward Kayla Nelms led the Bears with 25 points on 10-for-11 shooting and three three-pointers. Longtime teammate and fifth-year forward Kyla Abraham knew Nelms had the ability to perform at that level. “Me and Kayla did play AAU together, so I have seen her have similar games to this,” Abraham said. “I was just really proud of her; this was the confidence she needed.” Senior forward Reese Ross was not too far behind Nelms, finishing with 19 points.
