An anonymous hacker claims to have breached the digital ID numbers, as well as other sensitive personal data, of around 815 million Indian citizens. To put that number in perspective, it is more than 60% of the 1.3 billion Indian people enrolled in the government’s Aadhaar biometric digital identity program, and roughly 10% of the entire global population. Thanks to the breach — the largest single one in the country’s history, according to the Hindustan Times — the personal data of hundreds of millions of Indians are now up for grabs on the dark web, for as little as $80,000.

To register for an Aadhaar card, Indian residents have to provide basic demographic information, including name, date of birth, age, address and gender, as well as biometric information, including ten fingerprints, two eyeball scans and a facial photograph. Much of that data has apparently been compromised.

Over the years, Warren Buffett has been opportunistic and "fluid" with his ideals and political opinions - he describes himself as a "democrat" yet without batting an eyelid will demand government bailouts for his portfolio of companies.

美国众议院新议长 Mike Johnson 说：

“我的许多同事都呼吁“停火”。

让我明确一点：在 10 月 7 日（哈马斯）袭击之前，双方就是“停火”的状态，是哈马斯打破了这种局面。

我们现在必须向以色列提供援助。无所作为不是一种选择.

the increase in the unemployment rate from 3.8% to 3.9% means that the Sahm's Rule predicting the next recession has been triggered. As a reminder, the rule, created by former Fed economist Claudia Sahm, posits the start of a recession when the three-month moving average of the unemployment rate rises by a half-percentage point or more relative to its low during the previous 12 months. The low for joblessness so far this year was 3.4% in April while October’s rate was 3.9%, the highest so far this year and following two readings at 3.8% in August and September. More importantly it means that there is now a 0.5% spread from the April low and while one can wait for the 3MMA to confirm it, we can now go on the record as saying that the Sahm's Rule has been activated and the countdown to the next recession has begun.

Two common causes for infant death - pregnancy complications and meningitis - became more prevalent.

Experts interviewed by news outlets said that the reasons for the increase were not quite clear yet and offered different explanations for parts of it, for example infectious diseases on the upswing after social distancing ended, expanding maternity care deserts in the country, unwanted pregnancies continuing to term due to abortion bans, an increase of maternal complications due to Covid-19 and more women in general starting pregnancy with underlying health conditions like obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure as these become more prevalent in the population.

Elon Musk appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast Tuesday and explained how leftists "completely controlled" Twitter and weaponized the social media platform against political opponents and anyone who disagreed with the official government narrative. The billionaire said Twitter was almost like Russian state media "Pravda."

"The degree to which Twitter was simply an arm of the government was not well understood by the public," Musk said.

He continued, "Republicans were suppressed at ten times the rate of Democrats. That's because old Twitter was fundamentally controlled by the far-left."

The Israeli death toll is rising, and Hamas has claimed to have ambushed and destroyed several tanks as they plunge deeper into Gaza City, also amid building to building searches for the hostages.

15 Israeli soldiers have now been killed in the Gaza operation, the IDF has announced Wednesday, which in total marks 320 total troops killed since the Oct. 7th massacre (and with over 1,100 more Israeli and foreign civilians).

South Korea's main intelligence agency has issued a new warning alleging that North Korea is ramping up artillery supplies to Russia, after Kim Jong-Un's somewhat lengthy trip to Russia's east which took place in September.

South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) told lawmakers that Pyongyang has sent over one million artillery shells for use in Ukraine. Washington too has long voiced suspicions that the north is arming Russia's military on a large-scale.

Apple is not just any company. No other institution has the clout of Apple; not in terms of money and sales but in terms of intimacy. We don’t use Apple products — we put them in our ears, on our skin, on our heads, and we process life through them.

Apple is not building products. They are building a new reality. A reality for a new age. This new reality comes with a new set of morals, rituals, and — most importantly — it comes with a new religion.

For several years NAR has been fending off accusations by US antitrust officials and private litigants that it has conspired to keep home-sale costs high in the face of major technological upheavals. This verdict is by far the group’s biggest setback yet. An NAR spokesman said, “This matter is not close to being final as we will appeal the jury’s verdict.”

HomeServices of America, a subsidiary of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, said it intends to appeal. “Today’s decision means that buyers will face even more obstacles in an already challenging real estate market and sellers will have a harder time realizing the value of their homes,” a company spokeswoman said. Keller Williams said it is considering an appeal.

Under the current system, sellers pay their own agent a commission — typically 5% to 6% of a home’s selling price — which is in turn shared with the buyer’s agent. Over the course of the trial, plaintiffs’ attorneys argued this model has suppressed competition by making it difficult for buyers and sellers to negotiate for lower rates.

“NAR and corporate real-estate companies have had a stranglehold on real-estate commissions for too long,” plaintiffs’ lawyer Michael Ketchmark said outside of the courtroom.

The news sent real-estate brokerage stocks tumbling: Redfin and Zillow both plunged as much as 10% before recovering some losses. Traditiona broker Re/Max was down 3%.

UAW President Shawn Fain, apparently unable to grasp the concept that if the automakers go bankrupt there's a chance no one will have jobs, proudly proclaimed on Monday: “We wholeheartedly believe that our strike squeezed every last dime out of General Motors.”

He added: “When we return to the bargaining table in 2028, it won’t just be with the Big Three, but with the Big Five or Big Six.”

Controversy has erupted over the death of American hockey player Adam Johnson, who was struck in the neck and killed by another player's ice skate in the second period of a Challenge Cup match against the Sheffield Steelers on Saturday in Sheffield, England. Fans and players alike are divided over whether or not Canadian player Matt Petgrave deliberately used a sidekick maneuver, stabbing Johnson in the throat with his ice skate.

In New York, illegals are being forced out of shelters and directed to go to an office in the East Village. Once there they discover that this location is what is known as a reticketing center. Its sole purpose is to provide illegals with tickets – to anywhere on Earth – other than New York City.

Via “Medical Assistance in Dying: A Paediatric Perspective“:

“Ensuring that newborns, children and youth receive the highest possible standard of care as they are dying is a privilege and a responsibility for physicians and allied professionals. Bringing a thoughtful, respectful and personal approach to every end-of-life situation is an essential and evolving duty of care, and the process should meet each patient’s (and family’s) unique social, cultural and spiritual needs.”

According to private weather forecaster BAMWX, the cold air invasion has already begun:

A lot of record cold lows on the table to start out November. 20s all the way down to Central Texas with temperatures 15 - 20F below normal.

This past week, the regime media was ecstatic about the 4.9% 3rd quarter GDP report and Biden was so excited he was drooling and shitting his pants while taking credit for our stupendous economy. What they fail to mention is government spending is a major component of the GDP calculation, and your friendly government drones added $1.1 trillion to the national debt in the 3rd quarter to artificially boost GDP. In addition, they used an inflation rate of 3.0% in their calculation. Without the artificial government borrowing and spending, and using the real inflation rate of 8% to 10% you are experiencing in the real world, and the real GDP is really -5% or worse.

Urban warfare is often called “the great equalizer” — nullifying the advantages a modern army enjoys and forcing it into a relatively even fight against defenders with inferior numbers and capabilities.

The deterioration of plastic packaging and synthetic fibers results in tiny <5 mm fragments, called microplastics. And those things are everywhere — from the oceans and the soil, to water, food, and even in the air. Southeast Asia has been swimming in plastic for decades.

“Toyota has struck a deal with fellow Japanese company Idemitsu Kosan to mass produce ultra-high-range EVs with solid-state batteries.

It's the first major update on the company's plans to be the first to offer these next-gen batteries. Toyota says the new technology will eventually enable EVs to go 932 miles on a single charge and power up in just 10 minutes, due to the higher energy density.

Idemitsu Kosan, Japan's second-largest oil refiner, may seem like an unlikely partner for the EV space. But Toyota says Idemitsu has been working on developing the ‘elemental technologies’ for the batteries since 2001, five years before Toyota began pursuing them in 2006.”

The sudden, explosive collapse of the Chungthang dam, a unit of the Teesta-III hydroelectric project in the tiny Himalayan state of Sikkim on October 4, has come and gone from the world’s news pages. But the failure of the dam and its large cement hydroelectric station, which was washed away in less than 10 minutes, killing at least 22 people and leaving more than 100 missing from a tidal wave that crashed down from the high Himalayas after a cloudburst near the Tibetan border, is an ominous warning of things to come, environmentalists say.
