Williams appears to be the first person to publicly allege sexual misconduct by Trump in which Epstein played a role. Later, in the “later winter, early spring” of 1993, Williams recalled, she was walking with Epstein near Fifth Avenue when he suggested visiting Trump at Trump Tower. “He made me feel so disgusting and, I remember, at that moment so utterly confused,” Williams recalled. Days after the incident, a postcard arrived at her modeling agency addressed to her, Williams recalled. “He harmed me,” Williams told NBC News.

Though the job was remote, she was asked to commute an hour into the office for her first week of onboarding. Why companies bait-and-switch job candidatesExperiencing a bait-and-switch during job interviews is a frustrating candidate experience and highlights one of the many breakdowns in today's hiring process, says Jon Stross, president and co-founder of Greenhouse. For the most part, these experiences say more about the hiring team than you as a candidate, he says. How to confront a bait-and-switch job interviewAs far as confronting the experience as a job candidate, Stross says your best defense is to ask plenty of questions throughout the hiring process. "This is not a normal red flag — this is a flaming red flag."

CNN —Senior-level personnel changes at the US Secret Service as well as the creation of new divisions are underway as the agency works to resolve security breakdowns that preceded the two attempts on former President Donald Trump’s life this summer. Typically, incoming presidents choose their own Secret Service director, and it’s hard to know whether Vice President Kamala Harris or Trump would retain Rowe. “I’m trying to get programs more closely aligned with the mission, getting them out to the field so that they are directly supporting enforcement operations, major criminal investigations and, of course, protective operations,” Rowe told CNN. Radio calls from local police who saw the shooter on the roof shortly before he opened fire never made it to the Secret Service. CNN has previously reported on the strain inside the Secret Service as the agency dramatically ramps up protection during the final stretch of the campaign season.

Musk and representatives for X, SpaceX and Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The conversations between Musk and Putin, who once ran the KGB, reportedly occurred as Musk was in the midst of a leveraged buyout and takeover of Twitter. He continued to promote the idea, via X (formerly Twitter) that some Ukraine citizens would prefer to join Russia.

US officials informed the Trump campaign this week that Trump and Vance were among a group of people whose phones were targeted by the Chinese hackers, one of the sources said. In a statement, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung attacked the Harris campaign for allegedly emboldening China. The activity is part of a much broader Chinese hacking campaign that has infiltrated multiple US telecommunications firms in the last several months. US officials have briefed members of the House and Senate intelligence committees on the Chinese hacking campaign.

Rep.

Conservatives have accused the White House of pressuring companies like Meta and Twitter to take down content that didn’t serve the administration politically.

☆ In the battle of WiFi versus mesh networks, the latter has the edge. Two tech leaders share why.
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-24 | by ( Erica Sweeney | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Mesh networks consist of devices that connect to each other rather than to a single router. A mesh network is a private wireless broadband network in which devices, or connection points, link to one another in a weblike structure. Mesh networks also offer significantly more safety and security, whether from a malicious attack or other breach. We're also moving toward more autonomy and artificial-intelligence-driven decision-making, applications, and technologies; mesh networks are built for that. If you drop a mesh network into an environment with poor LAN architecture and configuration, it will become apparent pretty quickly.

New York CNN —Lawyers for CBS News are rebuffing a legal threat from Donald Trump over the network’s “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris, telling the former president his demands are based on a “faulty premise.”In a blunt letter to Trump’s legal counsel, the network on Wednesday said the First Amendment “fiercely protects” the editorial judgments made by “60 Minutes,” the network’s flagship newsmagazine. “For that reason,” CBS said, Trump has no legal basis to sue, “and I note that you do not identify one,” the letter from CBS News senior Vice President for legal affairs Gayle C. Sproul stated. When Trump backed out of a planned interview with “60 Minutes,” CBS went ahead with its plans to interview Harris and produced a Trump-less prime time special on October 7. “Editing is a necessity for all broadcasters to enable them to present the news in the time available, and that is what ’60 Minutes’ did here, as it does with its other reports,” she wrote. Trump has brought up “60 Minutes” on the campaign trail at least a dozen times in the past two weeks and has repeatedly asserted that CBS should lose its broadcast license.

The stock is consolidating just below all-time highs and if Netflix's move after earnings is any indication, I think SPOT should punch through to new all-time highs. We're currently trading at $386, just below the all-time highs of $387 set back in 2021. The earnings trajectory for this company has been insane: 2022 EPS ($3.09) 2023 EPS ($2.95) 2024 EPS +$6.37 2025 EPS +$9.06 (est.)
