Hoffman, 55, paid a single visit to Epstein’s Caribbean island Little St. James — also known as “pedophile island,” where Epstein and gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly abused underage girls, The Wall Street Journal reported. Joi Ito, the then-MIT Media Lab director, was also in attendance, and had asked Hoffman and Epstein to help him raise funds for MIT, according new documents obtained by The Journal. Ito confirmed Hoffman’s involvement in the MIT fundraising on Epstein’s island in an email to The Journal. “Reid attended a few fundraising events at my request, including one trip to Little St. James, after I confirmed to Reid that Mr. Epstein had been an approved donor target for MIT in accordance with university rules and regulations,” he wrote.

"We needed it to be on the Daytona 500 side of the graph databases," LinkedIn Chief Architect for LIquid tells The New Stack. May 2nd, 2023 8:00am by Joab Jackson Everything that LinkedIn knows about the global economy is kept in a single graph database, all on working memory. “The Economic Graph, is our digital representation of the global economy that we use to answer questions about and provide insights into the dynamics of the global workforce and job market,” wrote LinkedIn’s Director of Engineering Dr. Bogdan Arsintescu in a blog item posted Tuesday. Arsintescu is the chief architect of LIquid, the real-time graph database system powering the Economic Graph. His post discusses this latest — the fourth generation — of LinkedIn’s graph database system. LinkedIn has always had a unique set of requirements for a graph system, based on its unique requirements of scale and throughput, he explained, in a follow-up interview with TNS. This Graph is massive, with over 270 billion connected entities, and it expands every time someone joins the service and adds their own info: forever joining their schools, skills, companies, positions, jobs, events, groups, to others with the same background. This allows users keep up

A former Minneapolis police officer who held back bystanders as Derek Chauvin restrained George Floyd has been convicted of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.Driving the news: Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill issued his decision against Tou Thao in court documents filed Monday night. The more serious charge of aiding and abetting murder was dropped. Thao, who has maintained his innocence, had waived his right to a jury trial in favor of a bench trial. Flashback: Then-state prosecutor Matthew Frank argued as part of the proceedings that Thao "made a conscious decision to actively participate in Floyd’s death" by providing crowd control and blocking an off-duty firefighter from providing medical assistance, per KARE 11.Thao's attorney argued that his client was following MPD training and not directly responsible for Floyd's death.Of note: Thao was convicted of violating Floyd's civil rights in a separate federal trial last year. He's already serving a 3 1/2 year sentence connected to that case.State of play: Two other officers who were with Chauvin and Thao when Floyd was killed already pleaded guilty to state criminal charges. Chauvin was convicted of murder and sentenced to 22.5 years behind bars. His request for a new trial was rejected by

So-called ESG investing is a big deal. The acronym applies to investment strategies that take environmental, social and governance factors into account, and these days serves as a stand-in for all strategies marketed as sustainable investments.By year-end 2022, following broad declines in the stock and bond markets, investor assets in sustainable investments amounted to $8.4 trillion, or about 12.6% of all U.S. assets under management, according to the Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment (US SIF).In other words, 1 in every 8 U.S. investor dollars is in a sustainable fund.The growing prominence of and demand for ESG investments has attracted the attention of politicians and regulators. Last month, President Joe Biden used his first veto to preserve a Department of Labor rule allowing employers to select ESG options for their 401(k) plans.Meanwhile, politicians in Texas and other states have put measures in place to ban fund companies they see as "boycotting" energy companies from doing business with the state.
