  Virginia has a data centre boon; officials debate whether it's time to scrap its tax breaks

  (Tech-Economic Times / 2026-03-11 13:01)

  Virginia's state Senate has voted to end a long-standing sales tax exemption for data centers, a projected $1.6 billion annual tax break, requiring them to pay a minimum 5.3% tax. This reflects a growing national pushback against the industry due to concerns over noise, massive energy consumption straining power grids, and the sprawling physical footprint of server farms.

  The proposal has sparked significant political debate, with opponents, including the industry coalition, warning it will halt investment, while supporters argue the revenue is needed for state priorities like education and infrastructure. The outcome is uncertain as the state House debates the measure, highlighting internal divisions among Democrats ahead of a budget deadline.

  The main topics covered are the legislative move to repeal the tax break, the reasons for the growing opposition to data centers (energy use, local impacts), and the political and economic debate surrounding the potential consequences of the policy change.

  (Feed: Artificial Intelligence Latest / 2026-03-11 13:00)

  Looking Glass, a company specializing in 3D holographic screens, has announced the Musubi, a consumer-focused digital picture frame. The device uses local AI to convert uploaded photos or videos into 3D holographic images viewable within the frame, without requiring an internet connection, apps, or subscriptions.

  The product is positioned as a simple, privacy-focused alternative to more complex AI companions, emphasizing that user data is not sent to large tech companies. It utilizes the company's proprietary Hololuminescence technology to create the 3D effect, though the images remain behind the screen rather than being free-floating projections.

  The main topics covered are the launch and features of the Musubi holographic frame, the underlying Hololuminescence technology, and the emphasis on local AI processing for user privacy.

  Lego Smart Brick review: my kids are not impressed

  (The Verge / 2026-03-11 13:00)

  The author, who was initially excited to test Lego's new Smart Bricks with his children, found that his kids quickly lost interest despite the product's advanced technical capabilities. The core criticism is that the first wave of Lego Star Wars sets underutilize the Smart Brick's features, resulting in repetitive light and sound effects that failed to sustain engagement.

  The main problem identified is not the high price but Lego's stingy implementation of the technology, with half of the brick's sensors going unused. The Smart Bricks themselves are packed with features like sensors, Bluetooth, and NFC readers, but they are only sold in expensive starter kits and have a very short battery life.

  Main Topics: Lego Smart Brick product review, child user engagement, criticism of feature implementation, product specifications and pricing.

  Entenda como Concílio de Niceia definiu dogma sobre Jesus Cristo

  (Folha de S.Paulo - Em cima da hora - Principal / 2026-03-11 13:00)

  Resumo objetivo:
  O artigo aborda a formulação do Credo Niceno-Constantinopolitano durante o Concílio de Niceia (325 d.C.), convocado pelo imperador Constantino para resolver divisões teológicas na Igreja. O debate central foi a natureza de Cristo, opondo a visão de Ário (que via Jesus como criatura divina, mas distinta do Pai) à de Alexandre de Alexandria (que defendia a consubstancialidade entre Pai e Filho). O resultado foi a condenação do arianismo e a definição de Jesus como "consubstancial ao Pai", embora as disputas teológicas tenham persistido após o concílio.

  Principais tópicos abordados:
  1. A definição da natureza de Cristo no Concílio de Niceia.
  2. O conflito entre o arianismo e a visão de consubstancialidade.
  3. O papel do imperador Constantino na mediação e oficialização das decisões.
  4. O impacto histórico do credo na doutrina cristã e suas controvérsias posteriores.

  Projeto ameaça obrigatoriedade do ensino de história africana e indígena

  (Folha de S.Paulo - Em cima da hora - Principal / 2026-03-11 13:00)

  Resumo objetivo: O Ministério da Educação (MEC) manifesta preocupação com um projeto de lei que propõe tornar facultativo o ensino obrigatório da história e cultura africana e indígena nas escolas, tratando-o como "evento" cultural-religioso que exigiria autorização dos responsáveis. A proposta, considerada um retrocesso e inconstitucional pela secretária do MEC, visa alterar a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação e está em tramitação na Comissão de Direitos Humanos da Câmara.

  Principais tópicos abordados: 1. Tentativa de flexibilização do ensino obrigatório: O PL propõe tornar voluntária a participação em atividades relacionadas à história e cultura afro-brasileira e indígena. 2. Posição contrária do MEC: A pasta vê a proposta como um retrocesso perigoso, que inviabiliza uma política curricular consolidada por leis desde 2003 e 2008. 3. Argumentos dos proponentes: A justificativa do PL baseia-se no respeito à liberdade religiosa e de consciência, exigindo autorização prévia das famílias. 4. Contexto legal e implementação: O texto relembra a existência das leis que tornam o ensino obrigatório e as recentes ações do MEC para efetivá-las, contrastando com a ameaça de retrocesso representada pelo projeto.
