New research suggests that the company makes the communities it operates in poorer—even taking into account its famous low prices.

The “Talker” above could make scientific history within the next year. It is the communication device a nonverbal autistic girl used when she was originally suspected to be telepathic. I saw her independently type her answers into this  “Talker,” without any touch, in three homemade videos from August, 2013. She developed a dependency upon having […]

Within the first 12 months of Brexit immigration rules (up to December 2021), net migration jumped to 484,000; higher than any level in the past decade.

This trajectory has largely increased; revised government figures for the year ending June 2023 show record-breaking levels of net migration at 906,000 people.

In the four years before Brexit, net migration was higher from EU countries than non-EU countries.

Since 2019, data shows that the majority of net migration to the UK comes from non-EU countries; with figures at 662,000 in 2023 alone.

In fact, since 2021 when Brexit rules came into effect, net migration from the EU has been negative; meaning that more EU nationals are leaving the UK than coming to stay.

Brexit arguably had the intended effect of curbing EU migration. But the broader migration picture has simultaneously ballooned.

The top countries for non-EU immigration are India, Nigeria, Pakistan, China and Zimbabwe, according to the latest ONS figures.

"Such recalcitrance inevitably creates the impression that the investigators have something to hide and thus damages the credibility of the research."

"Success at obtaining significant RV results thus seems highly correlated with the attitudes toward psi of the principal investigators."

OpenAI and Microsoft have a secret definition for “AGI,” an acronym for artificial general intelligence, or any system that can outperform humans at most tasks. According to leaked documents obtained by The Information, the two companies came to agree in 2023 that AGI will be achieved once OpenAI has developed an AI system that can generate at least $100 billion in profits.

The decision not to prosecute Gaetz is legally defensible, at least judging by the former prosecutors willing to defend it and congressional investigators’ admission that the evidence they managed to obtain — without much help from the Department of Justice — would likely not be enough to convict Gaetz, at least on a charge of sex trafficking a child. But it’s also true that Gaetz could have been charged, too: Greenberg was, after all, and Gaetz likewise could be argued to have acted “in reckless disregard of the fact” that the girl with whom he was engaging in a “commercial sex act” could have been a minor.

“They know he paid me to pay the girls and that he and I both had sex with the girl who was underage,” Greenberg wrote in December 2020, The Daily Beast reported

Then economists began analyzing what actually happened when the minimum wage was raised. Since the early 1990s, economists have conducted dozens of studies of more than 500 minimum-wage increases across the country. “The bulk of the studies conducted in the last 30 years suggest the effect of minimum wages on jobs is quite modest,” Arindrajit Dube, an economist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst who has conducted multiple meta-analyses of the minimum-wage literature, told me. “Sometimes they actually result in higher employment.”

We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

According to Dr. Eric Davis, who recently spoke at the November 22nd to 23rd Sol Foundation Symposium [22], PEADS was what one or more US president(s), in the past, have issued to keep the UAP crash-retrieval and reverse-engineering program(s) highly protected (waived unacknowledged Special Access Programs), outside of Congressional oversight, and outside of Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Dr. Davis confirmed to the author that the use of PEADS in this manner began with President Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose administration PEADS originated.

the evidence is strong that William Gibson used this expression and QI believes that he created it. However, the precise wording varies and the earliest citations do not appear in Gibson’s writings.

The FAA released a statement Thursday morning saying, "At the request of federal security partners, the FAA published 22 Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) prohibiting drone flights over critical New Jersey infrastructure. "

Action News still waiting to find out why these orders were issued after weeks of downplaying concerns about drone sightings and why now.
