Speed Test ⏱️ - Vancouver’s inefficient port, The EU sort of bans Russian oil, and a new supercomputer champ.

from The Peak Daily · host The Peak / Curiouscast

The World Bank ranks the Port of Vancouver the 368th most efficient port in the world, meaning it’s one of the least efficient. The Port Authority boss warns that issues will remain unless a proposed extension is approved. EU leaders are set to endorse a proposed ban on Russian oil, which makes up 29% of the bloc’s oil imports. The proposal will ban oil transported by tankers, but continue to permit delivery via pipeline. Frontier, a 592,000 pound machine has been named the world’s fastest supercomputer. But experts say two supercomputers in China, who doesn’t participate in the rankings, might be even faster. The Peak Daily is produced by 306 Media Productions. Hosted by Alex Blumenstein and Jay Rosenthal.
