Amplified calls for the creation of Khalistan date back to when India gained its independence in 1947. At the same time, some Sikh supporters of Khalistan have made comments perceived as anti-national and threatening toward India and its government. And in counterinsurgency operations, Indian security forces were accused of a multitude of human rights abuses.

NEW YORK, Oct 4 (Reuters Breakingviews) - All eyes are on Sam Bankman-Fried as the cryptocurrency founder’s criminal trial gets underway this week. The high-profile case bears similarities to past scandals such as Enron and Countrywide Financial, when regulation followed investigations. Lawmakers hauled Wall Street analysts up to Capitol Hill to grill them about their “buy” ratings. Importantly, legislators passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, forcing banks to hold more capital, among other stipulations. It also is less prevalent – less than 20% of Americans have invested in crypto, according to the Pew Research Center.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is bullish on the benefits of artificial intelligence, which is already being used by thousands of employees at his bank, and he predicts it'll usher in the norm of a shortened workweek. "Your children are going to live to 100 and not have cancer because of technology," Dimon said Monday in an interview with Bloomberg TV. Dimon says the bank's investments in AI "will add huge value" and is being leveraged across the firm's research, trading, customer service and other functions. When asked if the technology is likely to replace some bank jobs, he responded that "of course" it will, but that "technologies always replace jobs." Tech innovations also create new jobs and opportunity: AI technology could improve labor productivity and boost global GDP by as much as 7% over time, Goldman Sachs' report noted.

She was glad to be able to help her mom, but as she told her Twitter followers, "god loves a joke."

Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution requires that members of Congress be paid while in office.

Pew decided to ask Americans why they think that is and whether they expect more women to occupy top business roles anytime soon. In response to the question, “Why aren’t there more women in top executive business positions?” respondents identified several “major” reasons. Most women (65%) and most Democrats, regardless of gender, (76%) said there are too few women in business leadership. But gender overrode political affiliation when it came to citing views on why more women aren’t at the top in the business world. “Republican and Democratic women are more likely than their male counterparts to say there are too few women in top business leadership positions and to point to certain factors as major obstacles for women,” Pew said.

Parent Meta dedicated 1,600 words to announcing this and other subtle changes in a blog post on Wednesday.

Users on X are already poking fun at the change, and comparing it to other incredibly subtle updates. To be sure, Facebook's logo change marks a stark contrast to other moves, like Twitter's controversial rebrand to X — or its parent company's rebrand from Facebook to Meta in 2021, amid deep public backlash against the company. But I can't help but wonder if the subtle and incremental change is a sign of Facebook's waning relevance.

"Republicans for climate change action are gold," said Bill Gates, the billionaire climate philanthropist and investor, on Thursday at the Climate Forward event in New York City. The number of Republicans convinced that responding to climate change is a priority has "got to be a number that we manage to increase over time," Gates said. That's because climate change mitigation and adaptation will require sustained investment and support from the public and private sector, Gates said. Almost eight in ten Democrats, 78%, consider climate change a major threat, up from 58% ten years ago. Only 23% of Republicans consider climate change a major threat, almost equivalent to the 22% of Republicans who considered climate change a major threat a decade ago.
