“The international aid group Doctors Without Borders found a pattern of abuse and sexual exploitation by some local and foreign staff working in Chad along the Sudanese border, in some cases targeting underage girls or trading food or jobs for sex with refugees, according to a confidential internal memo obtained by The Associated Press.
The Doctors Without Borders report — completed in July and first reported Saturday by The Associated Press — found 59 allegations of abuse and said 18…

Doctors Without Borders report found cases of abuse and exploitation by staff in Chad
A confidential internal memo obtained by The Associated Press says that the international aid group Doctors Without Borders found a pattern of abuse and sexual exploitation by some local and foreign staff working in Chad along the Sudanese border. The organization said it launched the monthslong investigation in response to AP reporting that women had accused staff of sexually exploiting them in displacement sites in Chad. Hundreds of thousands fled there from Sudan’s civil war. Doctors Witho…

Billionaire Elon Musk likely broke the law when he handed out $1 million checks to voters just days before Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election,
a state election board found.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission, currently split evenly between Democrats and Republicans,
voted 5-1 in a closed session last week to refer the complaints to the Brown County district attorney’s office,
the commission's spokesperson Emilee Miklas told the Associated Press.

A declaration of 25 Field Medalists on AI and mathematics: “In recent months, the success of AI in solving major mathematical problems has made headlines even outside mathematical circles. But solving problems is only a tool and proxy for achieving the primary goal of conceptual understanding and insight. (…) Indeed, the mass production at faster and faster pace of "true/false" statements could destroy fertile ground instead of breathing life into new ideas.”

Does life-satisfaction inequality measure societal inequality? A focal-value-rounding critique
C. P. Barrington-Leigh
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.12667 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.12667 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.12667

Abstract: The dispersion of self-reported life satisfaction has been proposed and used as a comprehensive measure of societal inequality. A negative cross-country association between mean life satisfaction and its standard deviation has been read as evidence that this inequality is itself welfare-relevant, but critics have pointed to the nonlinearity and boundedness of response scales. I describe a further problem: a substantial and predictable share of respondents simplify the 0--10 scale to the subset {0, 5, 10} --- "focal-value rounding" (FVR) --- a behaviour that breaks not only linearity of the scale but even its order. I derive a sharp bound on the bias that FVR can induce in the standard-deviation; at empirically-typical FVR fractions the possible bias is roughly half the cross-country range of dispersion. I estimate and correct for the bias by fitting a model of FVR behavior to the Gallup World Poll Cantril ladder and three other multi-country life evaluations. FVR inflates measured standard deviation in 133 of 135 countries, by a median of 0.090 points. However, because the corrections are nearly uniform in sign across countries, rankings of the standard deviation survive essentially intact. The ordinal inequality indices advocated as the theoretically appropriate alternative suffer even worse from FVR. The correlation between mean and standard deviation survives FVR correction with modest attenuation and some caveats. Thus FVR does not, by itself, overturn previously reported correlations; it does, however, add a further reason for caution in interpreting scalar measures of subjective wellbeing inequality: candidate statistics are differently contaminated, the ordinal repairs no less than the cardinal originals, and they disagree with one another. Lastly, I show that FVR-correction can improve the pairwise dominance-comparability of full distributions.
