☆ Biden’s major missile reversal complicates potential western diplomatic thaw with Moscow

But it also complicated the diplomatic dance leaders attending the G20 summit must partake in as they navigate the complex geopolitical dynamics of the bloc. Lavrov attended the G20 in place of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who faced questions about whether he could be arrested for war crimes on international soil. In his remarks at the close of the summit, Lavrov also hailed the German government’s refusal to send Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine as a “responsible stance,” TASS reported. There had been hope among western officials of a strong statement denouncing Russia’s invasion at the conclusion of the summit. American officials were unsurprised to learn Moscow had updated its nuclear doctrine following Biden’s decision on long-range missiles.

☆ How Elon Musk’s worst business decision led him to Trump
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-13 | by ( David Goldman | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

New York CNN —Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, will be taking on an official role to try to help President-elect Donald Trump make government more efficient. It will add yet another responsibility to an ever-growing to-do list for the increasingly distracted CEO and business leader. Tesla, Musk’s most valuable company, in recent years has struggled to maintain its dominance of the electric vehicle market. Of course, that’s if Trump and Musk remain on good terms. And no matter how much power and influence Musk could yield, Trump will hold the ultimate trump card: He’ll be president.

Instead of listing the website for Universal's "Wicked" movie, boxes featured a link to a pornographic website for a group called Wicked Pictures. "Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold in the U.S., which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page," Mattel said in a statement. Consumers who already have the product are advised to discard the product packaging or obscure the link and may contact Mattel Customer Service for further information." Target , Walmart and Amazon had removed the line of "Wicked" dolls from their online storefronts as of midday Monday, as had Best Buy , Barnes & Noble and Macy's . The mishap comes as Universal floods retail shelves with "Wicked"-related product ahead of the film's Nov. 22 release.

Bomb threats were reported across five key battleground states, both to polling places and government offices where votes are counted. The FBI, which engaged with local and state officials, confirmed that some of the threats originated from Russian email domains. “There were no major issues across the state” in the election process, said Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar. Voters who need to cure ballots with signature issues have until November 12 to do so, according to state election rules. Election workers process ballots for the 2024 General Election, in Milwaukee on November 5, 2024.

While the audio was out, Trump walked around the stage, occasionally talking with technical staff and rally attendees nearby. During the roughly 17 minutes there was no audio at the Trump rally in Detroit, there was a sign saying, "Technical difficulties. It’s bizarre and raises more and more concerns for voters,” said a Harris campaign adviser after the Pennsylvania rally. After the audio failure Friday night, Trump’s Detroit rally quickly turned into a standard event for the former president. Much of the event focused on illegal immigration, a typical focus of Trump’s campaign, and highlighted Detroit dignitaries like boxer Tommy "The Hitman" Hearns and rapper Trick Trick.

WASHINGTON — Thousands of overseas American diplomats are at risk of a sharp pay cut at the beginning of October unless Congress passes a legislative fix in the coming weeks. And a 22% reduction in their pay would be a needless and demoralizing harm. “The Department of State continues to work with Congress on the urgent need for an extension,” a State Department spokesperson said in a statement. The pay snafu, first reported by Politico, is the unintended consequence of a funding structure that requires action from Congress. With the fate of their wages tied to the funding fight, American diplomats could be left in the lurch.

CNN —Elon Musk said an attack on X delayed his interview with former President Donald Trump by 42 minutes. But Musk also blamed mistakes by X’s staff for the snafu that prevented people from joining the stream. On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump had called DeSantis’ technical difficulties on X a “disaster,” which Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign reposted during the meltdown Monday night. But when people tried to access the Trump interview at the scheduled 8 pm ET start time, they were greeted with grayed out screens and were unable to join. Eventually, the interview began, and both X and Musk claimed it was a success.

Third-party agents selling and supporting CrowdStrike software and the complicated repairs for customers have been a miserably busy bunch over the past week. CrowdStrike’s token of appreciation for those vendors: a $10 Uber Eats voucher. But a $10 Uber Eats voucher should make it all better, right? The ironic part is, at least where I’m located, I can’t even get a pizza for $10 on Uber Eats after taxes and fees. But the software giant has yet to dole out a nickel to them for their troubles — not even a $10 Uber Eats voucher.

That meant it was indexed by Amazon's pricing algorithms, Fishman said, causing him to lose the buy box.

Nearly 98% of sales made on Amazon go through the buy box button, the FTC alleged in its suit. "The only way to get back the Amazon buy box is to lower our price on Amazon," Arnold said.

The PubMatic error occurred in the communication that happened between the SSP and PubMatic's ad server, according to the company.

Arsenal, as the away team, was eventually forced to source black socks from Chelsea’s merchandise store and cover the branding with tape. Once the game began, Chelsea consolidated its spot as the league leader with a 3-1 victory over third-placed Arsenal in front of the Blues’ biggest ever crowd at Stamford Bridge for a women’s soccer game. Chelsea eventually won 3-1 to edge ahead in the Women's Super League title race.
