Artsen moeten het belang van de patiënt altijd vooropstellen. Het kabinetsplan om zorgkosten ter overweging mee te nemen in het behandelplan botsen met dat principe, schrijft André Knottnerus.

Charlotte Web shares a report from the Associated Press: A shareholder has sued Nvidia and its CEO, Jensen Huang, accusing them of deceiving investors in their responses to media reports about Huang's affair with a purported Chinese spy that threatens national security. [...] The news reports said that the Commerce Department was investigating Alice Huang's company, Singapore-based Megaspeed, on suspicions that it was helping to sidestep U.S. export restrictions blocking Nvidia chips from being sold to China. But Nvidia said then that its compliance team checked and determined that Megaspeed wasn't doing anything illegal.
But, according to the complaint, the statements were misleading because they were made when Jensen Huang was having an affair with Alice Huang, who is "suspected of seeking to help smuggle Nvidia products into China." It accuses Nvidia and Huang of failing to disclose the affair and issuing false statements about Nvidia's relationship with Megaspeed, which posed a "material risk" to Nvidia's reputation and business prospects.
[...] "As a result of Defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the Company's securities, Plaintiff and other Class members have suffered significant losses and damages," the complaint said. Had investors known the truth, they wouldn't have purchased Nvidia's shares "at the artificially inflated prices that they did, or at all," the complaint said. "Fun fact: Nvidia donated $25 million to Trump's White House ballroom fund," notes Slashdot reader Charlotte Web.
UPDATE: The New York Times reports that Huang also also had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, the company's vice president of health care and a direct report.

New York has forced T-Mobile to remove a 50GB monthly data cap from its $15 low-income broadband plan after regulators found customers who exceeded the limit had their speeds cut by more than 97%, to just 650 Kbps. "Additionally, the [Office of the Attorney General (OAG)] found T-Mobile restricted [New York's Affordable Broadband Act (ABA)] plans to areas with 5G coverage, despite offering standard-rate 25 Mbps plans in 4G areas, and intentionally coded its website to hide affordable plans from search engines," reports RochestFirst. From the report: Under the terms of the settlement, T-Mobile must:
- Eliminate data caps on its ABA plans and deliver guaranteed 25 Mbps download speeds.
- Expand ABA plan availability to all geographic areas where it offers fixed-wireless home internet service.
- Make its ABA webpage indexed and easily discoverable via standard web searches.

Russia's Yandex says 2.84% of customer data has been permanently lost following Ukrainian strikes on data centers in the country. "According to the company, recovery is impossible because of critical damage to equipment and the lack of backup copies on the platform," reports UNITED24 Media. From the report: Yandex clarified that customers who had previously enabled the platform's backup tools did not experience any data loss, as their information remained fully preserved. The incident has prompted the company to revise its approach to data protection and disaster recovery, particularly the default settings for cloud infrastructure. Under the updated policy, automatic backups will be enabled by default whenever customers create new virtual machines on Yandex Cloud. Users will retain the option to disable the feature manually through the management console. In addition to changing its backup policy, Yandex Cloud announced the launch of a new availability zone, designated ru-central1-f. The new availability zone operates from a separate location, improving the resilience and reliability of the services. The report says Ukrainian drones targeted three Yandex data centers in Russia over four days, beginning October 8 with a strike on a facility in the Ryazan region that houses two of the company's three supercomputers. A second attack hit Yandex's largest data center in the Kaluga region on October 9, followed by a third strike on October 11 targeting a facility in the Vladimir region that houses the company's remaining supercomputer.

When someone says “German techno group”, you probably have a pretty good picture in your mind. MEUTE, on the other hand, is an 11-piece techno marching band that plays electronic music with acoustic instruments: tubas, trombones, drums kits, etc. Reset (above) is a single from their new album, KOSMOS. I love this.

USSF cites state department advisory about Qatar
Competition set to kick off in eight days
The US men’s national team have pulled out of the Fifa U-17 World Cup, which is due to kick off in Qatar in just over a week. In a letter sent to players explaining the decision, the US Soccer Federation cited safety concerns for players and staff, referring them to the US state department’s travel advisory for Qatar, which encourages citizens to reconsider travel to the country “due to risk of armed conflict” and asks government employees to obtain special authorization to do so.
“Unfortunately, in light of current circumstances … we are no longer able to participate in the tournament,” US Soccer’s letter to players reads. “The wellbeing of our players and staff will always be our top priority.

Welcome, Mauricio, to the meat grinder. Or rather, welcome back. We’ve been expecting you. There is nothing surprising in the news Manchester United may be on the verge of appointing Mauricio Pochettino. United are always on the verge of appointing Pochettino. This is a club that has spent 13 years hiring and firing the same structurally doomed manager – same shellshocked eyes, same irresolvable macro-problems – and the last eight years almost but not quite doing this to Pochettino.
Well, maybe we’re finally here. Maybe he just needed to be broken enough to make it fit. And who knows, perhaps there is even a kind of accidental synergy here.

New South Wales police have launched a homicide investigation after a human torso was found in bushland on Sydney’s lower north shore.
Police said they were called to Lane Cove North about 2.30pm on Wednesday after receiving reports human remains had been found.

Ze moet de komende tijd twee ruimterotsen in een baan rond de zon bestuderen, op bijna 200 miljoen kilometer afstand van de aarde. Daarvoor gebruikt ze onder meer een Nederlandse camera aan boord. De Hera heeft iets meer dan twee jaar over de oversteek gedaan.
De grootste van de twee objecten is de circa 800 meter grote asteroïde Didymos. Metgezel Dimorphos, die ongeveer 160 meter groot is, draait er als een maantje omheen. De Verenigde Staten hebben in september 2022 moedwillig een sonde laten inslaan op Dimorphos. Daardoor veranderde de koers van de rots een klein beetje.
Didymos en Dimorphos vormen geen gevaar voor de aarde en de mensheid, maar andere rotsen in de ruimte misschien wel. Het experiment moet duidelijk maken of het mogelijk is om een rots die op de aarde afraast zo uit zijn koers te duwen.
NEW YORK (ANP) - De aandelenbeurzen in New York zijn woensdag hoger geëindigd. Een opleving bij techbedrijven door het teruggekeerde enthousiasme rond de handel in AI zorgde voor een stijging van de aandelenkoersen. Zo won datacenterbedrijf CoreWeave bijna 25 procent na beter dan verwachte resultaten.
CoreWeave, dat een belangrijke klant van Nvidia is, boekte afgelopen kwartaal opnieuw een recordomzet en verhoogde de omzetverwachting voor het hele jaar. CoreWeave verloor de afgelopen maand nog ruim 40 procent van zijn beurswaarde door zorgen over de hoge financieringslasten van het bedrijf, dat flink investeert in AI-infrastructuur.
Techgraadmeter Nasdaq eindigde 1,6 procent hoger tot 25.466,19 punten. De Dow-Jonesindex sloot 0,5 procent hoger naar 52.486,49 punten. De brede S&P 500-index kreeg er 1,3 procent bij op 7619,38 punten.
WASHINGTON (ANP) - De Russische ambassadeur in Washington, Aleksandr Dartsjiëv, is woensdag plots komen te overlijden, meldt staatspersbureau Tass op gezag van het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken. Dartsjiëv was 66 jaar. Een doodsoorzaak wordt niet genoemd.
Volgens bronnen die CNN sprak, zou Dartsjiëv zijn teruggekeerd naar Moskou voor behandeling voor een langdurige ziekte waaraan hij leed. Onduidelijk is of hij ook in Moskou is overleden, en welke aandoening dit betrof. De woordvoerder van het Russische ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken, Maria Zacharova, meldde woensdag eveneens dat Dartsjiëv langdurig ziek was. In die verklaring betuigt het ministerie steun aan zijn nabestaanden en wordt Dartsjiëv omschreven als een "buitengewoon professioneel" diplomaat.
Dartsjiëv bekleedde de hoge diplomatieke post in de Amerikaanse hoofdstad sinds 2025, nadat hij zich had opgewerkt vanuit diverse diplomatieke functies, onder meer binnen de ambassade waar hij later de ambassadeur voor zou worden. Hij gold als zeer ervaren in de betrekkingen met de Verenigde Staten, en leidde eerder meerdere onderhandelingen met de Amerikanen. Van 2014 tot 2021 was hij ambassadeur in Canada.
In 2018 kreeg Dartsjiëv de Russian Federation Presidential Certificate of Honour uitgereikt, een hoge Russische civiele onderscheiding, voor zijn verdiensten voor de Russische samenleving.
WILLEMSTAD (ANP) - Het ministerie van Justitie van Curaçao en het ministerie van Justitie en Openbare Veiligheid van El Salvador zijn van plan vrijdag een intentieverklaring te ondertekenen om de samenwerking op het gebied van justitie en openbare veiligheid te versterken. De samenwerking is opvallend, omdat de president van El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, internationaal veel kritiek krijgt voor schendingen van mensenrechten, massale arrestaties en slechte omstandigheden in overvolle megagevangenissen.
Curaçao heeft geen eigen buitenlands beleid. Samen met Defensie valt dat onder de verantwoordelijkheid van Nederland. De intentieverklaring biedt volgens minister van Justitie Shalten Hato niettemin "de mogelijkheid tot samenwerking op het gebied van de bestrijding van georganiseerde criminaliteit, migratiebeheer en preventie van cybercriminaliteit".
Per MacRumors it's the end of an era. After almost 30 years of continuous service, the Apple-run message board where Apple users could seek help and advice from each other is to be closed.
In juli kon u hier al kennis maken met het Canadese duo Angine De Poitrine. Bij een optreden, vorige week in Toronto, draafde er een nmiejuw bn anmdl;kid op. Wie die kleine ‘alien’ was, bleef onbekend maar nut en noosdzaak van deze uitbreiding bleek al ras bij de opening van een eveneens onbekend geblevenn nieuw nummer: een magistrale triangelsolo.
Gitarist en bassist Khn en drummer Klek vormen sinds 2019 Angine de Poitrine en maken, volgens hun eigen zeggen, ‘Dada Pythago-Cubist Mantra-Rock’.
Volgens muziekblad ’Oor’ bewijst Angine De Poitrine zich “als heerlijke circusact voor muzieksnobs”.
Hedendaags rockmuziektheater dus.
