US oil production reached an all-time high last week at 13.2 million barrels per day. If this trend continues, "millions of people will die," Stanford climate scientist Rob Jackson said. And it conflicts with oft-repeated Republican talking points of a Biden "war on American energy." Weekly domestic oil production has doubled from the first week in October 2012 to now. US oil production reached an all time high recently.

Hunter led the Buffaloes with 13 catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns in his first game in nearly a month, and he collected five solo tackles on defense. Hunter celebrated his much-anticipated return to action with a 24-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the first quarter. When the Buffaloes started out on defense against Stanford (2-4, 1-3), Hunter received a big hug from his coach as he trotted out to play cornerback. When the Buffaloes forced a quick punt and got the ball for the first time, Hunter lined up wide right. Hunter returned to the game but later left to go to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a lacerated liver.

Students nationally are holding people in power accountable, said Jackie Alexander, incoming president of the College Media Association and director of student media at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. With growing reports of student journalists being doxxed, ostracized on campus and otherwise harassed, the College Media Association is looking into ways to help them, Alexander said. “I've never seen a better front page,” veteran editor and Columbia Journalism School professor Bill Grueskin said on social media. “So many people think of student journalists as students first,” Martin said. “But in a lot of ways student journalists are just journalists.

Some childcare operators told Insider the end of pandemic-era funding could make the problem worse. To keep the doors open at her Southampton Township, New Jersey, childcare center, she needs to find new clients or new funding. Jackson is just one of many providers across the US entering a period of uncertainty after a pandemic-era infusion of federal childcare funding ran out at the end of last month. That funding expired on Saturday, along with $13.5 billion in childcare funding from other pandemic-era legislation. She added: "What we're likely to see is childcare providers doing everything they can to continue to operate.

Sept 28 (Reuters) - PsiQuantum is aiming to deliver its first commercial quantum computing system in under six years, its CEO said as the startup announced a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy to develop advanced fridges for its machines. "The first system that's actually capable of solving important problems that people want to know the answer to - that's just a handful of years away," he said in an interview. Estimates for the development of practical quantum computing by other experts in the field typically put it at a decade or even 20 or more years away. The company needs to reach roughly 1 million quantum bits, or qubits, to be of practical use, O'Brien said. Because of the immense computational power in quantum computing, there is a gamut of potential applications from materials science to national security to finance.

Fully remote jobs may be more vulnerable to new AI tech, one expert says. Stanford's Nicholas Bloom said AI was likely to impact "low-level, fully remote workers," per Fortune. Jobs that rely in some part on in-person work have less to fear from AI automation. "If I were fully remote, you could replicate me with AI," he said during the panel, which was reported by Fortune. "I think we're going to see a lot of impact [among] low-level, fully remote workers," he added.

Yet, we're coming up with new ways to justify expensive purchases. The latest way, coined "girl math," breaks down the price of an item by the cost per wear. While the term originated from an unflattering view of women and their finances, TikTok's latest trend aims to reframe the narrative around luxury indulgences. This works well for "an indulgent purchase that doesn't feel super justifiable," Bechler said. Otherwise, consumers increasingly turn to buy now, pay later to spread out the cost of their "retail therapy" with small installments.

Copycat layoffsAndreyPopov/Getty Images"Copycat layoffs" is the idea that companies are being influenced by one another as they cut jobs. Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor at Stanford's Graduate School of Business, attributed the layoffs to "copycat behavior" in an interview with Stanford News in December. They followed on the way up; companies were hiring, so everybody decided to hire. Now, companies are laying off, and everybody decided to follow each other and lay people off." "It's difficult without being inside those companies to really point a finger at why these tech companies are shutting people," Minshew said.

Recent research found that fully remote workers were less productive than office workers. A recent analysis of multiple studies by the Stanford economist Nick Bloom, a leading remote-work expert, found that fully remote workers were 10% to 20% less productive than their in-office counterparts. But the research has found, on average, those working in the office at least some of the time are more productive . Even Zoom, which is synonymous with remote work, recently called some employees back to the office for at least two days a week. Bloom recently estimated 60% of Americans worked fully in person, 30% worked in person between one and four days per week, and 10% worked fully remotely.

Reed Jobs, the son of Steve Jobs, launched Yosemite, a VC firm that will invest in cancer treatments. Reed Jobs, Steve Jobs's oldest son, is striking out on his own. Jobs, one of three children of the Apple cofounder and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, is launching Yosemite, a venture capital firm that will invest in new cancer treatments, according to a press release. The 31-year-old was inspired by his father to start the fund after Steve Jobs died from complications of pancreatic cancer in 2011, he told The New York Times. Jobs's latest business venture will build on his previous work as a managing director at the Emerson Collective, the mission-driven corporation founded by his mother.

In my early 50s, I was forced to retire early after a near-death experience to take care of my health. But at 62, after feeling bored, restless and stuck, I un-retired and started a coaching company to help people achieve a more fulfilling retirement than I did. Here are four myths about retirement that more people need to talk about:Myth #1: Life follows a linear path. Don't wait for retirement to live the life you want. Benedictine monks are encouraged to "keep death daily before your eyes," so that they can live life more fully and in a detached manner.

The resignation comes after student journalists uncovered manipulated data in scientific papers he authored. Tessier-Lavigne has been the school's president since 2016. Last year, The Stanford Daily, a student publication, published an investigation identifying serious problems in some of Tessier-Lavigne's published work, including evidence that images were improperly altered. The school's investigation found evidence of manipulation and "serious flaws in the presentation of research data," though it also found that the Stanford president himself "did not have actual knowledge" of the manipulation. In his statement, Tessier-Lavigne insisted that he was unaware of the issues with his scientific papers.

July 19 (Reuters) - The president of Stanford University, one of the most prestigious U.S. schools, announced plans on Wednesday to resign his post after an independent review ordered by its board of trustees found flaws in his research as a neuroscientist. Those allegations were in connection with Alzheimer's disease research carried out when Tessier-Lavigne was the executive vice president of research drug discovery at the U.S. biotechnology company Genentech Inc. But the review of 12 research papers dating over two decades found that when concerns about the research were raised, "Tessier-Lavigne failed to decisively and forthrightly correct mistakes in the scientific record." As a result of the review, Tessier-Lavigne said he was going to retract three papers and correct another two. The board of trustees named Richard Saller, a professor in Stanford's Department of Classics, as interim president beginning Sept. 1.

The US even reminded everyone just how influential the buck is when it effectively froze Russia out of the global financial system with sanctions last year. Becoming the issuer of the global reserve currency is about trust. The US has controlled the global reserve currency for 102 years — giving it a special status in the world economy. Still, given that the country controlling the global reserve currency holds that status of an average of 94 years, history seems to indicate it's high time for a successor. Why shouldn't the financial world resemble something closer to the mosaic of cultures, politics, and nations that exists today?

Stanford students say interest in generative AI has already surpassed the crypto hype. Now, since OpenAI released ChatGPT in November, interest in AI on campus has surged, more than a dozen Stanford students and faculty told Insider. By the 2022-2023 school year, that number jumped to 140, with 14 courses that specifically touched on "generative AI." Sid SharmaSiddharth Sharma, a sophomore majoring in computer science, said those doubts haven't yet swept through campus. Bryan Chiang, a senior majoring in computer science, recently built an AI-powered monocle called RizzGPT.
