▼ + stars: | 2024-12-08 | by ( Kenneth Niemeyer | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

The Salt Typhoon hack is one of the largest attacks on US telecommunications ever, officials say. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner told The Washington Post that the hack is the "worst telecom hack in our nation's history by far." Senior White House officials on the call said the hack has been ongoing for "likely one to two years." She added that the White House "has made it a priority for the federal government to do everything it can to get to the bottom of this." Neuberger said that White House leaders are meeting three times a week to discuss the hack.

☆ With Assad’s Fall, Iran’s ‘Axis of Resistance’ Unravels
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-08 | by ( Alissa J. Rubin | More About Alissa J. Rubin | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

But in a breathtakingly short time, it has largely unraveled. Syrian rebel groups ousted the country’s longtime dictator, Bashar al-Assad, in less than two weeks as government forces put up little resistance. The Lebanese militant and political group Hezbollah and the Palestinian faction Hamas in Gaza are both weakened by more than a year of warfare with Israel. Still intact are the Iran-linked Iraqi militias and the Houthis in Yemen, but they are more peripheral to the conflict with Israel. So, if Iran were intent on rebuilding its regional alliance, it would likely take years to return to its former strength.

☆ It’s one of America’s biggest party cities. So why is New Orleans banning shiny balloons and confetti?

The city council passed an ordinance last month banning the release of Mylar balloons and all those coated in metal or other “conductive material.” It doesn’t prohibit buying the balloons. Over the summer, a wayward cluster of metallic balloons triggered a widespread power outage in Orleans Parish after coming into contact with a power line. People gathered for a vigil in honor of Breonna Taylor release balloons in her memory on June 6, 2020 in Louisville, Kentucky. “We simply cannot afford to have power outages and hurt ourselves unnecessarily,” Giarrusso told city council in a meeting last month. The city council passed an ordinance in July that included a ban on confetti cannons and confetti at parades.

☆ Trump says he has no plan to remove Fed chairman Jerome Powell
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-08 | by ( Auzinea Bacon | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview that aired on Sunday that he has no plans to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump responded, “No, I don’t.”The comments mark the first time since the presidential election that Trump has publicly backed Powell. In July, Trump said he would not fire Powell if he won the election and in November, a senior adviser to Trump reaffirmed that Trump would likely allow Powell would finish his term as chairman. Trump, however, has threatened to remove Powell from his post on several occasions after the central bank raised interest rates in 2018 and even called Powell “the enemy” in 2019. There are legal barriers for Trump, and any other president, to remove or fire a Fed chair.

☆ Fact check: Trump, repeating old lies on ‘Meet the Press,’ falsely claims US is the only country with birthright citizenship
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-08 | by ( Daniel Dale | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

Washington CNN —President-elect Donald Trump repeated numerous false claims during an interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” – including his old lie that the US is the world’s only country with birthright citizenship. Crime: Trump falsely claimed, “Crime is at an all-time high.” That is nowhere close to true. Trump and inflation: Trump falsely claimed that, during his presidency, “We had no inflation.” In fact, cumulative inflation during Trump’s presidency was about 8%. Venezuela, migration and prisoners: Trump repeated his regular tale about how Venezuela has supposedly emptied prisons to allow criminals to migrate to the US. Trump and Obamacare: Trump claimed, “I am the one that saved Obamacare.” This is misleading at best.

The richest by far is Elon Musk, whom Trump has tapped to co-lead a bespoke advisory group tasked with slashing purported government waste. The nonprofit Americans for Tax Fairness last month estimated that the average net worth among Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance and his top appointees is $616 million. For comparison, Forbes estimated the total net worth of President Joe Biden's entire Cabinet at $118 million. The same day, he chose billionaire CEO Jared Isaacman to head NASA. Trump also has picked billionaire Massad Boulos, the father-in-law of Trump's daughter Tiffany, as a top Middle East advisor.

Generative artificial intelligence probably won't change your life in 2025 — at least, not more than it already has, according to Google CEO Sundar Pichai. When OpenAI launched ChatGPT two years ago, generative AI quickly captured the imagination of users around the world. When I look at [2025], the low-hanging fruit is gone," said Pichai, adding: "The hill is steeper ... You're definitely going to need deeper breakthroughs as we get to the next stage." But another seismic shift that changes the way most people think about or envision AI is unlikely to happen within the next year, said Pichai.

☆ In Penny Trial, the Moment May Have Mattered as Much as the Evidence

On Monday morning, after just a brief period of deliberation, jurors acquitted Mr. Penny on the charge of criminally negligent homicide. All but two of the 11 witnesses who testified at the trial said that Mr. Neely’s presence amounted to the scariest experience they’d had on a subway. From that moment through mid-October of the following year, 37 people were pushed off subway platforms, episodes that dominated coverage in the tabloids. Mr. Neely was a 30-year-old Black, homeless Michael Jackson impersonator who had been hearing voices and succumbing to bouts of public rage for about 10 years. Had Mr. Neely died during an encounter with a young white Marine several years earlier it would have been easy to imagine a broad movement forged in his name — a coalition of activists and bourgeois liberals like those who protested the murder of George Floyd.

CNN —President Joe Biden detailed some initial next steps his administration will take following the extraordinary fall of the Assad regime in Syria, offering a blueprint for how the US plans to support to the region amid a moment of instability. In remarks from the White House on Sunday, Biden called the regime’s fall “a moment of risk” and of opportunity. “It’s a moment of historic opportunity for the long-suffering people of Syria to build a better future for their proud country.

If fewer homes are built in a supply-constrained market, prices might grow much higher, said Channel. A stable rental market will also give renters more strength to negotiate with landlords. For instance: Austin, Texas was the "epicenter of multi-family construction," she said, meaning a lot of new supply was added into the city's rental market, bringing rental costs down. In contrast, supply-constrained metropolitan areas like Seattle, Washington, D.C., and New York City, are experiencing high rent growth of 5% annually. Mortgage rates declined this fall in anticipation of the first interest rate cut since March 2020.
