Amid an outcry about Federal Reserve officials owning and trading individual securities, an in-depth look at officials' financial disclosures found three who last year held assets of the same type the Fed itself was buying, including Chairman Jerome Powell.

"The main downsides/negatives to the LFTR are technology, politics, corrosion and the general public being scared of nuclear radiation. Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors were created 50 years ago by an American chap named Alvin Weinberg, but the American Government realised you can't weaponise the by-products and so they weren't interested. Another point, yes it WAS corrosive, but these tests of this reactor were 50 years ago, our technology has definitely improved since then so a leap to create this reactor shouldn't be too hard.

Apple developers have revised the “Passwords” section in the Safari settings. It doesn’t matter where you make and edit the entries, they are automatically synchronized. Another new feature in the settings is “Hide IP address from trackers” under the “Privacy” tab. If this option is selected, the IP address is automatically suppressed for known trackers. This option is independent of the “Private Relay” protection function newly introduced under macOS Monterey.

To display the report, click on the “More” symbol with the three dots on the right in the address field. This menu also contains the commands for reloading the page, activating the reader display, adding the page to the bookmarks or reading list, for sharing, and for the new quick notes. As before, the symbol for the reader display is automatically displayed if this display is supported by the website. The symbol with the curved arrow to reload the page, on the other hand, only appears when you move the mouse pointer into the address field.
