Een jury had Combs eerder dit jaar schuldig bevonden aan het vervoeren van mensen met het oog op prostitutie, maar hem vrijgesproken van zwaardere aanklachten. Vrijdag legde de rechter de beruchte rapper en producer ruim vier jaar gevangenisstraf en 500.000 dollar boete op.

MÜNCHEN (ANP/DPA) - Het vliegverkeer op de luchthaven van München is vrijdagavond opnieuw stilgelegd. Dat gebeurde nadat er wederom meldingen waren binnengekomen dat er drones in het luchtruim zouden zijn gesignaleerd, meldt een woordvoerder van de luchthaven aan persbureau DPA. De Duitse politie onderzoekt of het daadwerkelijk om drones gaat. Volgens de website van de luchthaven gaat het vooralsnog om niet-bevestigde waarnemingen. Het vliegverkeer is uit voorzorg stilgelegd.
Meerdere aankomende en vertrekkende vluchten zijn geschrapt. Hoeveel reizigers zijn gedupeerd, is nog onduidelijk.
Donderdagavond werd het vliegveld van de stad in het zuiden van Duitsland ook al tijdelijk gesloten nadat meerdere mensen een drone hadden gesignaleerd. Vrijdagochtend hervatte het vliegverkeer. In de periode dat de luchthaven toen dicht was, werden ruim dertig vluchten geannuleerd of omgeleid. Bijna 3000 passagiers ondervonden daar last van.
Eerder werd het vliegverkeer op luchthavens in Denemarken, Noorwegen en Polen ook al tijdelijk opgeschort na de waarneming van drones in het luchtruim.
Draft solicitation calls for nearly 30 contractors to mine social media and other open-source data
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking contractors to trawl social media and other open-source data for potential immigration enforcement leads, assuming public posts can yield actionable intelligence.…
Ha Dang, a self-taught accountant from Scunthorpe who trained via YouTube, won the inaugural Microsoft Excel UK Championships on September 30. The victory earned him a spot at the Microsoft Excel World Championships in Las Vegas, a three-day tournament inside a 30,000-square-foot esports arena where players compete for $5,000 and are broadcast on ESPN.
Thirty competitors sat shoulder to shoulder through three gruelling rounds of spreadsheet challenges. Each round featured a custom case with seven levels of increasing difficulty. The second round case, Right Royal Battle Part II, took 80 drafts to perfect. Players calculated troop sizes from emoji battalions and army movements across fourteenth-century France. Hadyn Wiseman, who once held the Guinness World Record for most backflips in a minute, placed fourth. Lara Holding-Jones finished thirteenth. Jaq Kennedy founded the UK chapter last year. National chapters have since formed in Germany, Brazil, and Chile.

theodp writes: From Thursday's Code.org press release announcing the replacement of the annual Hour of Code for K-12 schoolkids with the new Hour of AI: "A decade ago, the Hour of Code ignited a global movement that introduced millions of students to computer science, inspiring a generation of creators. Today, Code.org announced the next chapter: the Hour of AI, a global initiative developed in collaboration with CSforALL and supported by dozens of leading organizations. [...] As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms how we live, work, and learn, the Hour of AI reflects an evolution in Code.org's mission: expanding from computer science education into AI literacy. This shift signals how the education and technology fields are adapting to the times, ensuring that students are prepared for the future unfolding now."
"Just as the Hour of Code showed students they could be creators of technology, the Hour of AI will help them imagine their place in an AI-powered world," said Hadi Partovi, CEO and co-founder of Code.org. "Every student deserves to feel confident in their understanding of the technology shaping their future. And every parent deserves the confidence that their child is prepared for it."
"Backed by top organizations such as Microsoft, Amazon, Anthropic, Zoom, LEGO Education, Minecraft, Pearson, ISTE, Common Sense Media, American Federation of Teachers (AFT), National Education Association (NEA), and Scratch Foundation, the Hour of AI is designed to bring AI education into the mainstream. New this year, the National Parents Union joins Code.org and CSforALL as a partner to emphasize that AI literacy is not only a student priority but a parent imperative."
The announcement of the tech-backed K-12 CS education nonprofit's mission shift into AI literacy comes just days after Code.org's co-founders took umbrage with a NY Times podcast that discussed "how some of the same tech companies that pushed for computer science are now pivoting from coding to pushing for AI education and AI tools in schools" and advancing the narrative that "the country needs more skilled AI workers to stay competitive, and kids who learn to use AI will get better job opportunities."
