I grew up in and around Bengaluru, India, in the late 1990s and 2000s. I got married in 2013, and my wife also worked in Big Tech in the US. My wife is still working at a Big Tech company and spends much more time commuting than she did back in the US. Did you leave Big Tech to pursue a career in a completely different field?

Some critics have felt Harris has largely abandoned the Muslim and Arab American community. He said he hopes the support from religious leaders will make conflicted Muslim voters feel more comfortable voting for Harris, despite some prominent Muslim voices’ intense opposition to her. “The momentum [for Harris] in the community is growing.”The letter is the latest effort in the push on behalf of the Harris campaign to reach out to those voters after she met with Muslim community leaders in Michigan on Friday. Also last week, the vice president’s national security adviser met with Arab and Muslim community leaders in Washington. “Throughout her career, Vice President Harris has been steadfast in her support of our country’s diverse Muslim community, including ensuring that they can live free from the hateful policies of the Trump administration.”

Tropical Storm Milton rapidly intensified into a Category 1 hurricane Sunday with its path aimed at Florida, less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene made landfall in the state. The storm debuted as a hurricane Monday afternoon after producing sustained winds of 80 mph and continued to strengthen by drawing fuel from the Gulf of Mexico's sultry waters. Forecasters said Milton was likely to reach major hurricane status, denoting a Category 3, 4, or 5 storm Monday. It was pushing out maximum sustained winds estimated to be 80 mph, with some higher gusts, the hurricane center said, and moving east at 6 mph. Residents fill sandbags on Fort Myers Beach, in Fla., in preparation for Hurricane Milton on Oct. 6, 2024.

In the dark days after the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel and the ensuing military assault on Gaza, some dared hope the carnage could, in some way, become a catalyst for peace. “Crises can create opportunities,” veteran Israeli peace negotiator Yossi Beilin told NBC News last year. The world had given up on the Israel-Palestinian question, he said, but the horror of Oct. 7 and its aftermath “changed everything,” provoking a worldwide cry that this should never happen again. “There’s definitely room for hope,” Omar Dajani, a former legal adviser to Palestinian negotiation teams, agreed. “So long as we bear in mind that hope and optimism are different things.”One year later, those glimmers of hope have been shredded.

The United States is experiencing yet another divisive campaign season, but there may be a place where Americans can find calm and camaraderie: a vice presidential debate. "Saturday Night Live" followed up a historic, Season 50 premiere with more satire as Tuesday's debate between nominees for vice president, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, and Democratic Gov. The "SNL" recreation had repertory player Heidi Gardner playing CBS News' Norah O'Donnell, who introduced the running mates. Walz, played by comedian Jim Gaffigan, is a former teacher and high school football coach tapped by Vice President Kamala Harris (Maya Rudoph) as her Democratic running mate. Vance (Bowen Yang) was asked by debate cohost Margaret Brennan (Chloe Fineman) how he'd address the crisis in the Middle East.

That football field transformed from a scene of tragedy to a symbol of resilience Friday as the community packed the bleachers to watch the survivors play. Still, a beloved fixture of Apalachee football wasn’t there: Assistant football coach Richard Aspinwall, who was killed in the shooting. It strangely looked like what a high school football game is supposed to look like, until there was a reminder that it wasn’t a normal football game. ‘It’s not going to be the same’For sophomore Michael Gordon, being back on the football field will always bring back memories of the day of the shooting. “We have resilient kids, not just on the football team, but we’ve got resilient kids in our school,” Hancock said.

FLINT, Mich. — Vice President Kamala Harris met with leaders from the Muslim and Arab American community ahead of her campaign rally here on Friday, a campaign official said. During the meeting, Harris heard leaders' perspectives on the election, as well as the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, the official said. He added that his group asked Harris "to impress upon President Biden the urgency of bringing an immediate end to the violence." Emgage endorsed Harris in September, despite saying that "the vice president still has a ways to go" on certain issues. On Wednesday, Phil Gordon, a national security adviser for the vice president, met virtually with Muslim, Arab and Palestinian leaders from across the country, according to a source familiar with the planning.

“Golden Bachelorette,” breakout star Charles Ling’s endearing personality had viewers ready to give him the final rose from episode one. But with the season underway, Ling admits he “didn’t see much of the TV show yet” and hadn’t quite seen the internet response. NBC News, in an exclusive interview, even had to recap some of the fan feedback and scenes for him. He’s prompted many fans to flood the internet with comments such as “protect Charles at all costs!” and that “it’s not an episode of the golden bachelorette without Charles making me cry." “You can say, ‘If Charles can do it, so can me,’” he said.

It's been quite a year for NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns. This week it became official that Towns, the Minnesota Timberwolves 7-foot center/forward, will be playing for the New York Knicks. And in May, KAT — as he’s known — was named the 2023-24 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Social Justice Champion “for his voting rights advocacy as well as his work across the justice and education systems,” the NBA said. Towns’ advocacy helped pass legislation ensuring formerly incarcerated people in Minnesota could exercise their right to vote.

The virtual event, organized by Emgage Action, which endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris last week, was the most direct pitch yet to conflicted Muslim and Arab voters from her or Walz. “As-Salaam-Alaikum,” Walz said on the call, using the Arabic greeting, before he turned to the war on many Arab and Muslim voters’ minds. Some Muslim activists and elected officials they say are disappointed to have heard little from the Harris campaign since then. During the campaign, some disaffected Muslim and Arab voters have flocked to third-party candidates like Jill Stein and Cornel West, both of whom picked Muslim running mates and have courted pro-Palestinian voters. “We understand that some Muslim voters, any voter, may feel a moral dilemma voting for [Harris].

Researchers have now used DNA analysis to uncover just how long ants have been farming fungi, now described in a study published Thursday in the journal Science. To trace the evolution of this relationship between ants and fungi, Schultz and his colleagues built complex family trees. Using the DNA from 475 species of fungi, including 288 species known to be cultivated by ants, the researchers pieced together how all these organisms are related. The study team did the same thing for 276 species of ants, including 208 species of fungus farmers. Ants began farming fungi 66 million years ago after an asteroid hit Earth, according to a new study.

If Israel decides to go that route, it remains an open question what parts of Iran’s oil sector Israel would try to attack. An attack on Iran’s oil industry could drive up oil prices and jolt the global economy. NuclearBiden said this week that the U.S. opposed any strikes on Iran’s nuclear program. Iran denies it has ever sought to build nuclear weapons and says its nuclear program is designed for civilian purposes.

Founding trustee Michael Douglas told CNN that the robots enable children to stay engaged with their education even while in intensive care. Last August, No Isolation rolled out AV1 Academy, a library of training materials and resources aimed at improving the usability of the robot. “Removing that pressure to be on camera, we’ve seen, increases the likelihood of the robot being used for students with emotionally based school avoidance,” Salisbury said.

WASHINGTON — A group of national security experts led by Cabinet members from the Trump administration endorsed former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, citing his foreign policy record and calling him "a peacemaker." The group, organized by former Trump national security adviser Robert O'Brien and former National Security Council chief of staff Alex Gray, wrote in a letter that "securing peace" is "the legacy of Trump." The letter comes amid an escalating conflict in the Middle East between Iran and Israel, as well as Russia's war in Ukraine. "The policies of the Biden-Harris Administration have invited conflict, diminished America’s standing around the globe, and imperiled our national security," the letter says. The signers do not include Trump's first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, or his secretaries of defense, James Mattis and Mark Esper.

Israel has vowed to respond with violent force to Iran’s ballistic missile attack. Could Israel seek to target Iran's oil facilities and even its nuclear sites? One thing is clear, an Israeli official told NBC News on Wednesday — the country will retaliate swiftly. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s military and intelligence leaders were meeting at the defense ministry to discuss what this might look like. The last time Iran fired missiles at Israel six months ago, Washington persuaded Israel to hold back from a major response.

It’s not hard to conclude that former President Donald Trump himself makes it nearly impossible to have the type of debate Vance and Walz participated in Tuesday night. But Trump has never participated in a debate that didn’t devolve into something more pugilistic and even immature and juvenile at times. Going into this debate, I assumed that both vice presidential nominees would be more focused on the tops of the tickets. It's an interesting decision given how it seems as if the Trump campaign team desperately wants to re-attach Biden’s unpopular brand to Harris. I think Trump and his team are convinced Harris needs another debate more than Trump does.

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance said "Kamala Harris' open border" has "destroyed” the lives of American citizens in Springfield, Ohio, before having his mic cut by debate moderators. Vance, who initially raised the claim days before Trump amplified it, did not repeat it during the vice presidential debate. But most of the Haitian migrants there are there legally, and local officials have strongly disputed Trump and Vance's portrayal of the city. At Tuesday's debate, things grew heated around Springfield after CBS News moderators Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan interjected to note the Haitian immigrants in Springfield have legal status before trying to move on. The moderators had warned at the beginning of the debate that they reserved the right to cut the mics at anytime to uphold the debate rules.

The Biden administration’s monthslong effort to avert a full-blown war between Israel and Iran is now being put to the most difficult test yet after Tehran on Tuesday launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel. The administration has worked around the clock for the past year trying to avoid a direct clash between its ally Israel and Iran. But now, administration officials are facing a potential worst-case scenario, as the latest attack by Iran will inevitably trigger a retaliation by the Israeli military. This time, regardless of whether the Iranian attack is effective, Israel will be eager to strike back, former U.S. and Israeli officials said. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with his Israeli counterpart earlier Tuesday to discuss Iran’s preparations for an attack on Israel, officials said.

Iran has launched ballistic missiles at Israel, causing sirens to sound all over the country, the Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday. "The United States has indications that Iran is preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel," the White House official said. A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran." A ballistic missile from Iran could reach Israel in as short as 10 minutes, according to the American Jewish Committee. Hours before news broke on a potential attack from Iran, Israel announced a ground invasion of southern Lebanon on Monday night.
