Jones, Microsoft, and the FTC didn't immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment before publication. AdvertisementThis isn't the first time Shane publicly vocalized his concerns about Microsoft's AI image generator. Microsoft isn't the only major tech company that's been slammed for its AI image generator. "In a competitive race to be the most trustworthy AI company, Microsoft needs to lead, not follow or fall behind," he wrote.

The discount store Five Below is known for its "dupes" or duplicates of high-end products. NEW LOOK Sign up to get the inside scoop on today’s biggest stories in markets, tech, and business — delivered daily. Its cheap products align with the dupe culture that's popular among Gen Z. Dupes — short for the word "duplicates" — look like high-end products but have much lower price tags. As Business Insider's Jennifer Ortakales Dawkins put it, Gen Z "prefers knockoffs more than other generations" and is obsessed with getting things at a bargain. I'm technically a Zillennial — falling between millennials and Gen Z — so I took inspiration from younger shoppers on a recent visit to Five Below.

Why Power Eludes the French Left
  + stars: | 2024-03-06 | by ( Elisabeth Zerofsky | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
As transit walkouts snarled traffic and sanitation strikes caused trash to pile up in the streets, the protests were ridiculed abroad. Why must the French, among the best-protected workers in the Western world, make such a racket over two years of work? But for the demonstrators, this missed the point: It is because French workers put up a fight that they are protected. France has always been a vanguard of leftist politics. How it fares says much about where the left may be headed and the headwinds it faces, not just in France but throughout the West.

The former two-term president of Honduras denied in court on Tuesday that he had trafficked narcotics, offered police protection to drug cartels or taken bribes — assertions that have been at the heart of a conspiracy trial taking place in Manhattan. The former president, Juan Orlando Hernández, has been on trial for two weeks in Federal District Court, facing charges that he conspired to import cocaine into the United States. Prosecutors said that he worked with ruthless drug gangs like the Sinaloa Cartel, led by the Mexican drug lord Joaquín Guzman Loera, better known as El Chapo. Government witnesses have included a string of former traffickers from Honduras who testified that they bribed Mr. Hernández in return for promises that he would insulate them from investigations and protect them from extradition to the United States. Dressed in a dark suit with a blue shirt and tie, Mr. Hernández sat up straight during his testimony and sometimes gave long, discursive answers that prompted the judge overseeing the trial to rein him in.

I asked her excitedly in French, “What do you think about the abortion rights thing?”“C’est fou, hein?” she said. She continued, “Trump, he wants to reverse abortion rights. Unbelievable.”“Oh!” I said, “I meant about how France is writing abortion rights into the Constitution.”“Oh that?” she said, less excitedly. On the other hand, French women were allowed to open their own checking accounts in 1965 — horrific until you realize that their American counterparts were not granted that right until 1974. But compared to today’s America, France looks like the version of a feminist utopia that could only be dreamed of by Greta Gerwig’s Barbie universe.

In 2021, she and her husband moved to Las Vegas, subsequently quitting her job and taking a 20% pay cut. Peck says the move and the pay cut were worth it and she loves her life in Vegas. I negotiated a huge pay bump and started making $167,500, which increased to $184,000 after I got a 10% raise. Now, I own a house triple the size of my California house and I'm paying only $4,200 a year in property tax.

Museum of Chinese in America Names New Leader
  + stars: | 2024-03-05 | by ( Zachary Small | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The Museum of Chinese in America in the Chinatown neighborhood of Manhattan has experienced protests and resignations, a fire and legal problems. Now, the board has chosen a new leader who wants to move the institution forward and reconnect with the local community. In 2019, the city awarded the museum $35 million through a program for community projects as part of a deal for a local jail — money that allowed the museum to buy the main building. Museum officials said they have opposed the jail’s construction. But some residents have remained skeptical of the museum’s position, and maintain that in taking the money, officials betrayed the neighborhood.

I always knew I wanted to elope, but had a traditional ceremony in my first marriage. From my experience, I became a champion of eloping and doing what you want — and had an elopement wedding of my own years later. He wanted a more practical approach to the wedding, where our friends and family could be there. In a traditional wedding, everything is on a timeline, and the couple rarely has time to be alone. Sometimes, family members can make you feel guilty for choosing an elopement over a traditional ceremony and reception.

New York CNN —After decades of growth bolstered by low interest rates and easy credit, commercial real estate has hit a wall. I take that as a signal of a potential turn in the CMBS market in terms of the market sentiment. It’s not just all gloom and doom in the CRE market. Richmond Federal Reserve President Tom Barkin echoed the idea that the central bank may not cut interest rates this year. OPEC+, a coalition of the world’s top oil producing countries, had announced voluntary oil cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day in November.

Xi is under the spotlight as economic pain has sparked growing frustration within China. Xi has also overseen a political shakeup in his own ranks, further marring the start of the new term. Those challenges may not pose a threat to Xi, who is China’s most powerful and authoritative leader in decades. But the two sessions provide an important platform for China’s notoriously opaque government to broadcast its strategy for economic, social and foreign policies and announce key indicators including China’s economic growth target, its budget deficit limit and military spending for the coming year. Analysts widely expect Li to reveal a relatively ambitious growth target of “around 5%,” showing that policymakers are still focused on economic growth, even as challenges pile up.

He has encouraged the team to make a concerted effort to host his events at smaller, less costly venues, according to conversations with multiple Trump advisers. Mismatched and functional is the decor of the Trump campaigns’ offices,” a senior Trump adviser told CNN. And those figures don’t even include his mounting legal bills as he faces 91 charges in four criminal indictments. This fund, which reported raising $1.5 million through the end of last year, will continue to be utilized, Trump’s advisers say. One RNC member recently authored a resolution that seeks to ban the RNC from paying Trump’s legal bills.

I helped raise Diego from the moment he was born until my family moved to another state when he was three years old. However, the experience also made me think, for the first time, about what parenthood entailed and whether I wanted that life for myself. Cristabelle Garcia lived with and helped raise her nephew Diego from when he was born until he was three years old. I know myself well enough to know that I don't even want to try to do it all.

But the de minimis rule also has powerful defenders. China's exports grew only 0.6% last year, but the bright spot was cross-border e-commerce, which includes but is not limited to the de minimis packages. In a January meeting with Mayorkas, the National Council of Textile Organizations complained about unfair trade practices, including the de minimis rule. It is unclear how much fentanyl and other illicit drugs may be slipping undetected into the country in the small packages.

It refers to the estimated future volatility of the underlying asset through a future (expiration) date. Leaving the fancy options mumbo jumbo to the side, it's just another way options traders think about the price of an option . It is because inputting volatility solves for price, or inputting price solves for volatility, that options traders tend to think of the two interchangeably.

"You do see some office buildings right now that over the last 20 years have taken a part of their building like the low-rise and converted it to a hotel," he said.

As the prevalence of online betting grows, there's plenty of revenue to be had. The more people gamble — and the more culturally acceptable gambling becomes — the more possibility gambling addiction becomes a bigger issue. Of course, as fun as sports gambling is — as is gambling in general — it has some serious downsides for society. According to the National Council on Problem Gambling, 2 million Americans have a severe gambling problem, and another 4 million to 6 million a mild or moderate problem. The more people gamble — and the more culturally acceptable gambling becomes — the more possibility gambling addiction becomes a bigger issue.

Under the final fraud trial judgment, the GOP frontrunner's debt to New York state rises daily by $111,984 in interest. That means every 9 days, Trump owes the state another $1 million in interest. On that same day, the total Trump owes New York will tick up by another $1 million, to $456 million. Former Trump Organization CEO Allen Weisselberg owes $1 million; interest is adding $272 to his total every day.

Donald J. Trump was minutes away from being grilled under oath by the New York attorney general and he was itching to talk. But his lawyer at the time, Ronald P. Fischetti, directed Mr. Trump to keep quiet. Mr. Fischetti warned Mr. Trump that he was risking perjury charges, and that he would come to regret it. Over the past year, he was indicted four times and faced three civil trials. And as the former president’s first criminal trial approaches on March 25, it has become clear — as it was to Mr. Fischetti — that the single person who poses the greatest danger to Donald J. Trump may just be Donald J. Trump.
