“The Official Plan directs how the city will grow for the next 25 years and we’re trying to focus growth to locations where it’s going to make the most sense for the city — in a bunch of different ways, like around transit stations — to make complete, livable communities and a financially sustainable city,” said Carol Ruddy, the city’s manager of zoning and intensification.

Ottawa’s current zoning bylaws were largely carried over from pre-amalgamation cities and towns, dividing the city’s neighbourhoods into five zones — labelled R1 to R5 — with sub-categories and distinct regulations resulting in more than 140 variations, with about 600 variations within those sub-categories.

AGI might create abundance, but it won’t dispel the incentives for companies and states to amass resources and compete with rivals. Hassabis admits he is better at forecasting technological futures than social and economic ones; he says he wishes more economists would take the possibility of near-term AGI seriously. Still, he thinks it’s inevitable we’ll need a “new political philosophy” to organize society in this world. Democracy, he says, “is not a panacea, by any means,” and might have to give way to “something better.”

But he is also confident that if we eventually build AGI capable of doing productive labor and scientific research, the world that it ushers into existence will be abundant enough to ensure a substantial increase in quality of life for everybody. “In the limited-resource world which we're in, things ultimately become zero-sum,” Hassabis says. “What I'm thinking about is a world where it's not a zero-sum game anymore, at least from a resource perspective.”

When President Donald Trump named Robert F.

“I’m not even sure it’s legal! We contracted for the price on delivery,” he told the magazine. “If your price of fuel goes up or your truck breaks down, that’s not my problem! That’s what the contract’s for.”

But the tariff was not only legal, it’s his responsibility to pay it. Tariffs are paid by domestic importers, not foreign exporters, despite Trump’s frequent claims otherwise.

After promising a deal within 24 hours of taking office, then kicking off weeks of negotiations, Trump said Friday that he was about ready to give up. He hasn't set a deadline or said whether he would take any further action beyond walking away.

If either side continues to block a deal, "we're just going to say, 'You're foolish, you're fools, you're horrible people,' and we're going to just take a pass," Trump said Friday.

JWST spotted two sulfur‑bearing gases (DMS and DMDS) in the atmosphere of hycean exoplanet K2‑18 b (8.6 × Earth’s mass, 124 ly away), a combination that on Earth is made only by marine microbes—making this the strongest potential biosignature detected so far, though follow‑up observations are needed to rule out non‑biological sources.
