Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images hide caption The Justice Department has charged two former FBI employees with making false statements to Congress in connection with the bureau's investigations into Hunter Biden. Bradley Benavides, 56, and Nikki Floris, 46, each face a single criminal count stemming from testimony before lawmakers in 2023. They were charged by complaint, which means prosecutors have yet to secure an indictment from a grand jury. The laptop of Hunter Biden, former President Joe Biden's son, was the subject of intense scrutiny after The New York Post reported weeks before the 2020 presidential

Earlier this week, Mississippi’s attorney general, Lynn Fitch, announced that the shooting was “justified”. The Senatobia board of aldermen accepted Foster’s resignation on 21 October and the resignation took effect immediately. Foster was placed on leave on 16 June, days after the 14 June shooting.

Recent efforts to throttle Ukraine's access to satellite systems have created a blame game of sorts among Trump administration officials and their allies, who have offered mixed messages about what led to the sudden restrictions on Kyiv's ability to intercept Russian strikes. The limitations placed on Starshield — SpaceX's military-grade version of the Starlink satellite internet service and the backbone of Ukraine's drone operations and communication — last week alarmed the country's military and government officials, with commanders reporting lost drones and disrupted missions. After days of handwringing, President Donald Trump asserted Thursday that the service is running again at full

A contractor fell into a reactor cavity and a bundle of fuel rods almost fell over. US regulators have issued a warning to a nuclear project critical to Donald Trump’s efforts to revive the industry, after a contractor fell into a reactor cavity and a bundle of fuel rods nearly tipped over during refueling. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission told Holtec International, a company racing to reopen a shuttered reactor at the Palisades nuclear power plant in Michigan, to address a “chilled work environment” that has made staff hesitant to raise safety concerns without fear of retaliation. The warning has prompted concerns among critics that financial and political pressures to revitalize

Antiterrorism prosecutors investigating motive of attack that seriously wounded five, including a 12-year-old girl.

According to the new terms, sharing your data for better AI recommendations also means opening it up for more personalized ads. That means anyone who has connected their Drive, Gmail, or Google Photos to AI Mode and other Search tools via Google’s Personal Intelligence feature — allowing those tools to provide better responses or recommendations by knowing more about you — may now see ads targeted on the basis of that content. Advertisers don’t get access to your Drive, Gmail, and Photos information or personally identifying details such as your name or email address, and Google won’t show you ads based on sensitive categories like race, sexual orientation, religion, or health. “You may

Hey HN, Loudwalk ( https://loudwalk.com/?from=hn ) is an app I built for myself to review my Anki flashcards out loud on a walk, and am excited to share today. Anki has changed my life and is probably the best habit I've managed to stick with. Apart from helping at my tech day-job and remembering random things I find interesting (relatives' birthdays, quotes, poetry), it allowed me to become conversational in Russian in 2 years and complete the first year of a French university degree in Art History - all while working full-time as CTO and co-founder at my company. I have an average memory at best, and it is crazy what Anki unlocks with consistency. Recently I've been exploring how
