Hey TechAltar,

The momentum you documented in that latest video,Chinese container ships, Candela's Norway deal, CATL's new unit,actually reveals a supply chain bottleneck nobody's talking about.

We're building out creator rosters for campaigns we're planning with Hbada and Narwal in Q3, and your channel stood out.

Only including channels we'd genuinely back on these campaigns.

Interested in a closer look?

Closeup where a few of the flowers are reasonably sharp. When zoomed in, on some flowers the style or stamen are visible. It's also clear that the flowers are not just white, but have a subtle pink on the edges, most visible on the outside of the buds

The tiny leaves are not just green, but spotted and they have microscopic hairs on them.

I'm really looking forward to catching them with morning dew next week. I should not forget to point them out to the kid with the better camera. To be continued hopefully.

a LinkedIn post of the motivational kind: #curl

Curl is also the most secure codebase I've seen. I tried
to hunt for vulnerabilities in it (having reviewed the
slop report collection for fun) and got zero hits. Maybe
some borderline documented behavior, but nothing
with any reasonable security impact. So I probably did
it right. But on almost every codebase I've reviewed
extensively in the past, including glibc, I've found at
least one issue with a security impact. Curl is the only
one which I've found completely clean as far as I could
see. I think the bounty program has been largely
beneficial to curl over the years and has overall
contributed positively to the project's security, despite
the recent downtrend. Keep it up

This would be funny if it wasn't also sad (Source: MorningBrew newsletter)

America refused to wean itself off buying goodies from abroad last year, even as bringing products into the country got more expensive. The government said yesterday that the US trade deficit—calculated as imports minus exports—declined a mere 0.2% in 2025 from the previous year, to $901.5 billion, despite President Trump jacking up tariffs.

Trump pitched his sweeping import duties as a way to reduce America’s reliance on foreign goods and get US companies to source stuff at home instead—but the trade deficit for physical products, adjusted for inflation, actually grew by almost 6% last year. Economists say this could have been partially caused by companies going on a shopping spree to stockpile imported inventory ahead of the tariffs going into full effect.
Deficit shifted, not shrank

While seemingly not moving the needle on total imports, the tariffs did appear to impact where the US was buying from:

The deficit with China declined, while it rose with other trade partners, such as Taiwan, Mexico, and Vietnam.
It’s a sign that companies reacted to the US–China trade war by seeking alternative origins for imports, though experts caution it might also mean that Chinese goods are being routed through other countries to avoid steep duties.

Feeling the bite

Despite trade flows barely budging, corporate coffers are feeling a deficit. US companies and consumers shouldered 90% of the tariff costs, according to a recent study by the New York Federal Reserve.
