"Why do we tolerate Elon Musk’s racist commentary?” asked New York Times writer Jamelle Bouie a few weeks ago:

It is that fact, and not the cars he builds or the rockets he launches, that ought to define his place in public life.

and it’s a testament to how extreme AI-enabled cheating has become,
but also of the perils of getting an education in a virtual environment instead of a physical one.
Professors can’t re…

Within a few days of the terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001,
FBI agents identified an important possible suspect: a middle-aged Saudi graduate student
who provided crucial help to two of the al-Qaida hijackers as they settled in San Diego early the year before.
The Saudi, Omar al-Bayoumi,
had since moved to England,
and he was arrested there at the FBI’s request.
A police search of his home and office yielded a trove of evide…

When he was 15 years old, Jonathan Walczak came upon a newspaper article that described a disposable camera found in the pocket of a dead man in the rubble of the World Trade Center.
