product development, too. Creators can drive demand for specialized
products, accelerating product life cycles and even changing what
customers actually value. Companies that recognize the power of

part-time with food delivery app Glovo in September 2023. It was going

The accident left Olawuyi with a broken arm, and the surgery cost him
over 500,000 naira ($340). He contacted Glovo from the hospital —
the company had assured him that his medical expenses would be covered
under insurance.

idyllic architectural touch to the affluent town of Huntington, a Long
Island suburb of New York City. But a sign grabs the eye from the
road: "Coworking space," it says. "Kind of like a WeWork. Was a
church, but not anymore."
The former church may have been leveled and replaced with condos, had
Michael Hartofilis not bought it and repurposed it as a coworking
venue called Main Space that opened earlier this year. What was once a
sanctuary with a high ceiling has been split into two floors of
coworking space, with cubicles, glass phone booths, and minimalist
art. Industrial-style beams and modern, geometric light fixtures are
juxtaposed with the preserved, intricate crown molding and artisan
details that hug the building's windows and doorways.

In 2017, Pratik Sinha and Mohammed Zubair cofounded the fact-checking
website AltNews in India. Almost immediately, the pair were targeted
with persistent and vicious attacks from the far-right news website
OpIndia. Many of the attacks claimed that Zubair was a Rohingya Muslim
who illegally migrated to India and that his cousin was a rapist. In
several headlines, the site described Zubair as an "Islamist"
spreading fake news.
This wasn't far off from OpIndia's other coverage: In addition to
routinely attacking journalists and news sites critical of the
government, OpIndia spreads conspiracies and, at times, outright
disinformation, particularly about the country's minority Muslim
population. Founded in 2014, OpIndia is regularly name-checked by
leading lawmakers in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu-nationalist
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the site admits it is funded in part
by ads run by the BJP. As hundreds of millions of Indians vote in
elections across the country, critics fear that OpIndia's
election-related disinformation and overt support of the Modi
government could further undermine trust in the democratic process.
Already, the website has echoed Modi's widely criticized description
of the Muslim vote as "vote jihad."

Teslas Can Still Be Stolen With a Cheap Radio Hack--Despite New
Keyless Tech [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=3451&nl=daily]

For at least a decade, a car theft trick known as a âÂÂrelay
attackâ has been the modern equivalent of hot-wiring: a cheap
and relatively easy technique to steal hundreds of models of vehicles.
A more recent upgrade to the radio protocol in cars' keyless entry
systems known as ultra-wideband communications, rolled out to some
high-end cars including the latest Tesla Model 3, has been heralded as
the fix for that ubiquitous form of grand theft auto. But when one
group of Chinese researchers actually checked whether it's still
possible to perform relay attacks against the latest Tesla and a
collection of other cars that support that next-gen radio protocol,
they found that they're as stealable as ever.
In a video shared with WIRED, researchers at the Beijing-based
automotive cybersecurity firm GoGoByte demonstrated that they could
carry out a relay attack against the latest Tesla Model 3 despite its
upgrade to an ultra-wideband keyless entry system, instantly unlocking
it with less than a hundred dollars worth of radio equipment. Since
the Tesla 3's keyless entry system also controls the car's immobilizer
feature designed to prevent its theft, that means a radio hacker could
start the car and drive it away in secondsâÂÂunless the driver
has enabled Tesla's optional, off-by-default PIN-to-drive feature that
requires the owner to enter a four-digit code before starting the car.

R. O. Kwon's new novel, Exhibit, takes an expansive view of the things
that women are punished for wanting.
When we meet Jin, the protagonist of R. O. Kwon's new novel, Exhibit,
the 29-year-old photographer is in a holding pattern: For months,
she's been incapable of producing a single image she wants to keep.
Joining this creative atrophy is a new, existential gulf in her
marriage: Philip, her husband, suddenly wants a child, and no part of
Jin echoes the sentiment. Such disconnects might prompt a person on
the cusp of their 30s to seek the guidance of friends, a therapist, or
perhaps religionâtime-honored, if also unexciting, options for
someone invested in resolving their personal or marital conflicts.
Jin, however, finds herself taking a very different route. Early in
Exhibit, she goes from privately nursing her frustrations to sharing
them with an alluring stranger. In place of confusion, she begins to
feel something that had been eluding her: intense, exhilarating
desire.

When patients start on the latest obesity drugs, they find that their
food cravings drop away, and then the pounds do too. But when patients
go off the drugs, the gears shift into reverse: The food cravings
creep back, and then the pounds do too. Within a year of stopping
semaglutideâbetter known by its brand names Wegovy or Ozempicâpeople
regain, on average, two-thirds of the weight they lost. Tirzepatide,
also known as Zepbound or Mounjaro, follows a similar pattern. And so
the conventional medical wisdom now holds that these obesity drugs are
meant to be taken indefinitely, possibly for a lifetime.
To pharmaceutical companies selling the blockbuster drugsâknown
collectively as GLP-1 drugs, after the natural hormone they
mimicâthat might be a pretty good proposition. To patients paying
more than $1,000 a month out of pocket, not so much. Most Americans
simply cannot afford the cost month after month after month.

Reading a math paper is a bit like having dinner at a nice restaurant.
The entrée might taste delicious, but it doesn't tell the full
story of how it was made. Clever recipes that end up tasting funky
don't make the menu; undercooked dishes are (usually) not served to
customers. But missteps in both conception and execution are important
parts of the process. Danny Calegari, a topologist at the University
of Chicago, wants mathematicians to be more transparent about what
goes on in the kitchen.
Calegari grew up in Melbourne in a mathematical household. His father

Why physicists now question the fate of the Universe

Ever since we first recognized that the Universe was expanding, one
question has dominated the minds of those who study it: how will it
all end? Today, we recognize that our Universe began from a much
smaller, denser, hotter, and more uniform state: a state that we
identify with the hot Big Bang. Over time, that Universe has expanded,
cooled, and evolved, but also gravitated: clumping and clustering to
form an intricate cosmic web of structure across millions and even
billions of light-years. Today, when we use our powerful instruments
to look out at the Universe — nearby, at intermediate distances, and
to the greatest distances we can measure — we learn what the
Universe is made of, and draw conclusions about what its ultimate fate
would be.
In the 1960s, we found unambiguous evidence supporting the hot Big
Bang. In the 1970s and 1980s, it became clear that our Universe also
contained large amounts of dark matter: more dark matter than normal
matter, in fact. And starting in the 1990s, we discovered that the
Universe — and its expansion rate — were both dominated by dark
energy, which behaved as a form of energy inherent to space itself.
All of this led us to an astounding conclusion: that based on what we
know about the laws of physics and the contents of our Universe, our
fate would be to expand forever, with dark energy remaining at a
constant energy density for eternity.

New Fed Study Shows Inflation Hitting Parents Hardest of All

Inflation remains a leading concern among economists, consumers,
and companies--many of which have suffered declining sales
as rising prices led budget-minded shoppers to cut spending.
New data from the Federal Reserve indicates that parents of children
under the age of 18 are having a particularly hard time navigating the
continuing inflationary period--a struggle that's prompting
some businesses to ease family financial pains with price
cuts.
The difficulty one-third of parent respondents said they've had
balancing limited incomes with higher living costs is a notable
finding in the Fed's annual study. While the recent version of that
"Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households" survey found the "72 percent
of adults doing at least okay financially was similar to the 73
percent" in the previous poll, those "living with their children under
the age 18... doing at least okay financially fell 5 percentage
points" to 64 percent.Â

everything you do.
The Information Commissioner's Office, which BBC News describes as the
country's "data watchdog," reportedly was "making enquires" with
Microsoft mere hours after Recall was announced. A spokesperson for
the office said to the BBC that companies are required to "rigorously
assess and mitigate risks to peoples' rights and freedoms" before
bringing any new products to market." The unspoken part here is that
the data watchdog is clearly concerned that Recall may not be safe or
good at keeping sensitive user information private.Â

U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced the cancellation of
another $7.7 billion in student debt for 160,000 borrowers, bringing
the total number of people to benefit from his debt relief push to
4.75 million, despite Republican opposition.
Biden, keen to shore up waning support among young people ahead of the
November presidential election, had pledged last year to find other
avenues for tackling debt relief after the Supreme Court in June
blocked his broader plan to cancel $430 billion in student loan debt.

Earlier this week Apple released a new software update for its iPhones
and iPads--version 17.5.1 of its iOS system. Nothing to see here, you
may think, since even the serial numbers of that update show you Apple
does this all the time to fix problems and add new features.
But this time, there really was something to see, since the update
patched a serious bug that caused some long-deleted images to pop up
on users' phones. That's right. They weren't really gone. Consider the
contents of your own photo archive for a moment, think about shots you
zapped for all kinds of reasons, and you'll how know that's a
problem for these affected users.

The Hims and Hers Weight Loss prescription kit starts at $79 per month
for oral medications and $199 per month for injection-based kits,
which could include GLP-1 medicine such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar
off-brand medication. GLP-1 is a class of weight-loss drugs prescribed
by licensed doctors that could suppress appetite and regulate blood
sugar.Â
Business owners have contended with the rising popularity of these
medications as they relate to their health care plans for
employees. Some have been hesitant to add such a benefit to their
coverage for many reasons--one of which is the cost. Ozempic, for
example, starts at $935 without insurance.Â

Scale AI, a San Francisco-based startup that builds technology to
identify video, text and image data used in the creation of Large
Language Models (LLMs), is the latest in a string of emerging
companies to land investments worth $100 million or more. On Tuesday,
the company announced it netted a $1 billion investment from a variety
of investors including Accel, Y Combinator and Founders Fund. The
capital helped catapult Scale AI's valuation to $13.8 billion.
Scale AI's CEO, Alexandr Wang, offered Fortune his assessment of the
climate for Scale AI and its goals. "I think the entire industry
expects that AI is only going to grow, the models are only gonna get
bigger, the algorithms are only going to get more complex and,
therefore, the requirements on data will continue growing--we want to
make sure that we're well-capitalized.".Â

Melanie Parish says that many leaders see problems on their team as
external without considering the impact of their own behavior on team
dynamics. As she says, “There are so many different challenges. They
circle. You have one challenge one week, and another challenge another
week. That’s the work of leadership.”
