The Class Critique Has a Heart Rate

Alpha School reportedly required prospective high school students in an eight-week bootcamp to wear live heart-rate monitors before classmates while watching recorded parental criticism.

Anthropic Withheld the Model From Britain’s Test

Georgia paid more than $1.1 million since the COVID-19 pandemic for at least one lethal-injection contractor while its secrecy law concealed participants’ identities.

Hidden vendors, services, and prices make it harder for taxpayers and courts to test the cost, quality, and legality of an irreversible state procedure.

Four Renoirs Left the Museum. What Record Stayed Behind?

BBC reported on 8 September that thieves stole four Pierre-Auguste Renoir paintings worth millions from a museum in France.
