Read previewA four-day workweek reduces staff turnover, improves employee mental health, and saves money, according to the largest public sector trial held in the UK. On Monday, academics at two British universities — Cambridge and Salford — released their findings from a 15-month trial of a shortened working week. It is the largest public sector trial of the four-day workweek held so far in the UK, involving 697 employees, including office and waste workers. The number of external applicants for open roles also greatly increased, with 76% reporting the four-day week trial as influencing them to apply for open positions. The US, Canada, Ireland, and Germany are among the countries that have trialed the shortened working week.

Princeton University earned the top spot on both The Wall Street Journal's and U.S. News and World Report's rankings for 2024. The University of Oxford in the United Kingdom was named the best university in the world for the eighth year in a row, according to Times Higher Education's ranking of over 1,900 universities worldwide. Oxford, the world's second-oldest university, continues to be a global leader in academic research and instruction nine centuries after its conception. Times Higher Education uses metrics across five areas — teaching, research environment, research quality, industry innovations and international outlook — to rank universities around the world. Though the U.S. doesn't hold the top spot, the next three best-ranked universities are American — but the two highest-ranked ones aren't Ivy League schools.

Большая пятерка IT-гигантов, которую называют FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix и Google) все больше влияет на жизнь каждого человека в отдельности и всего человечества. Это наконец осознали власти США, обнаружив что IT-гиганты — Facebook, Amazon, Google и Apple — злоупотребляют своим монопольным положением, и собрались лишить власти эти корпорации. Его коллега и однопартиец Мэтт Гетц прямо обвинил Google во вмешательстве в избирательные процессы в США в интересах демократов. Что является фейковой информацией, а что – нет, определяют исключительно работники компании Facebook, кругозор, уровень культурного и политического развития которых вряд ли находится на более высоком уровне, чем у среднестатистического американца. Мы уверены, что такие современные высокотехнологические платформы, как Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, даже могущественнее, чем считает большинство людей, и будущий мир ждут глубокие изменения в результате их успешного развития и повсеместного распространения.
