The United Nations’ main internet governance body looks set to host its next international forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In 2025, the UN may take its discussions on the future of an open internet to Russia. Holding the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), back to back, in authoritarian countries notorious for their surveillance and censorship of the internet risks making “a joke of the whole system,” one advocate says.

While the UN has yet to formally announce the host countries for either meeting, Saudi Arabia’s minister of communications and information technology, Abdullah Alswaha, seemed to let the news slip at this year’s forum in Tokyo, Japan, which began on Sunday and

In July, Prime Day deals on TVs were plentiful, including screaming sales on sets from LG, Samsung, and Vizio. We expect similar sales this Prime Big Deals Days.

Maybe it’s the start of the NFL season and fall TV schedule, but some of the current TV deals are actually on par with what we’ve seen before. Here are the best Prime Day TV deals in October,

After Yedidia, the prosecution brought Matt Huang to the stand. Huang is the founder of Paradigm, a crypto investment firm that took a stake in FTX.

Huang spoke to the ways prospective investors were allegedly misled by Bankman-Fried about the relationship between FTX and Alameda, which was also a customer of the FTX exchange. When FTX was pitching for investment Paradigm was “told that there was no preferential treatment for Alameda,” said Huang.

But in practice, the prosecution claims, Alameda was exempted from various protections designed to prevent customers from racking up large amounts of debt, increasing the risk of financial trouble at FTX. The implication is that Bankman-Fried defrauded investors

“What?” you ask, slowly blinking. Didn’t we already have Prime Day? Have you fallen into a wormhole through space and time where every day is Prime Day? (Ssshhh! Don’t give Amazon any ideas!) The second Prime Day of 2023 is called Prime Big Deal Days and runs through October 11. 

This mid-October timing is perfect for those of us who are parents and have just started thinking about shopping for holiday presents. If you have a Lego enthusiast (or several!) in your life, big sales events are a great time to pick up brand-new Lego sets (which can be quite expensive). Yes, Lego bricks are made of plastic. Still, they

Each time a driver in Seattle meets a red light, they wait about 20 seconds on average before it turns green again, according to vehicle and smartphone data collected by analytics company Inrix. The delays cause annoyance and expel in Seattle alone an estimated 1,000 metric tons or more of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each day. With a little help from new Google AI software, the toll on both the environment and drivers is beginning to drop significantly.

Seattle is among a dozen cities across four continents, including Jakarta, Rio de Janeiro, and Hamburg, optimizing some traffic signals based on insights from driving
