Apple Inc. and Google have continued to offer mobile apps that let users make nonconsensual sexualized images of people despite their policies prohibiting such content, according to a report published Wednesday by the Tech Transparency Project. Searching for terms like “nudify” and “undress” in the Apple and Google app download stores gives customers access to software that can be used to alter images of celebrities and others to make them appear nude or in a state of partial undress, according to the group , a research arm of the nonprofit Campaign for Accountability. The companies also run ads for similar nudifying apps in their search results. Apps identified by the group have been downloaded 483 million times and generated $122 million in revenue, according to the report, which cited revenue estimates from market researcher AppMagic. A spokesperson for AppMagic said the Tech Transparency Project’s work has resulted in several apps being removed and prompted others to change their user policies. Over the past year, politicians around the world have ratcheted up calls to curb the spread of nudifying apps. Earlier this year, the companies removed apps flagged by the Tech Transparency Project. But just a few months later, dozens of similar ones could be found, researchers from the organization said. “It’s not just that the companies are failing to actually appropriately review these apps and continue to approve them and profit from them,” Katie Paul, director of the project, said in an interview. “They are actually directing users to the apps themselves.” From its app store searches, the group identified 18 apps with nudifying capabilities in the Apple App Store and 20 in the Google Play Store. In addition, both Apple and Google sometimes directed users to the apps via their autocomplete feature by suggesting the names of more nudifying apps as users typed, the researchers said. Some of the apps used names and images that cast them in a sexual light. Others could ea...

ablokhin/iStock Editorial via Getty Images J.B. Hunt Transport Services ( JBHT ) gained in postmarket trading after topping consensus estimates with its fiscal first-quarter earnings report. Operating revenue rose 5% year-over-year to $3.06B. GAAP EPS of $1.49 was ahead of the consensus estimate of $1.46 and topped last year's mark of $1.17. Operating income rose 16% to $207.0M, driven by higher revenue, execution on the company's initiative to eliminate structural cost, and improved productivity across the organization. Those factors were partially offset by higher purchase transportation expenses, particularly in the ICS and JBT segments. The intermodal segment volume increased 3% during the quarter, and revenue was up 2%. Transcontinental network loads were flat, while eastern network loads increased 7% compared to a year ago. Dedicated Contract Services segment revenue was up 2%, driven by a 2% increase in productivity (gross revenue per truck per week) as average trucks were approximately flat versus the prior-year period. Integrated Capacity Solutions segment revenue increased 20% during the quarter. Overall segment volume increased 10% versus the prior year period with growth in both contractual and transactional volum CEO update: "We began the year with strong financial results, building on the momentum we established in 2025, and once again executed well in safety performance by setting a first-quarter record. While the operating environment remains dynamic, we continue to leverage our investments in our people, technology, and capacity, positioning the company to drive long-term value for our shareholders." During FQ1, the company purchased approximately 383K shares of common stock for approximately $80M. As of March 31, the company had approximately $888M remaining under its share repurchase authorization. Shares of J.B. Hunt ( JBHT ) were up 1.3% in the late session. Schneider National ( SNDR ) and Old Dominion Freight Line ( ODFL ) also showed minor gai...

White House: 'Era Of Amnesty Is Over' Authored by Catherine Salgado via PJ Media , “ No more activist judges shielding criminal illegals. No more endless delays. Only results .” The Trump White House is celebrating multiple massive immigration enforcement wins that signal the era of mass migration and mass amnesty is over. AP Photo/Gerald Herbert Since Donald Trump came back into office, federal authorities have removed three million illegal aliens from the United States through ICE deportations or voluntary deportations, which is the biggest reduction in illegal migration in modern history, according to a White House press release on April 9. This is exactly what the American people voted for. This is the sort of reform we hoped to see when immigration became one of the top issues in the 2024 election. Besides the three million deportees, border officers have not released a single illegal alien into the United States at our borders for 11 straight months. The “era of amnesty is over,” indeed. The overwhelming majority of asylum claims have long been fraudulent, and that is one major area where the Trump administration implemented reform. The U.S. immigration authority now grants asylum in only 7% of cases, slashing the number of criminals and illegal aliens who tried to use asylum claims as a free ticket into our country. In contrast, under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the government approved over 50% of asylum claims, according to the release. I will give just two illustrations of why this is a big deal. First, just this week, the U.S. State Department revoked the lawful permanent resident status it had granted to Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, the niece of mass-murdering Iranian jihad leader Qasem Soleimani. Afshar had obtained residency and a life of luxury in the United States by claiming asylum here. Yet she repeatedly returned to Iran and regularly spouted pro-regime propaganda, illustrating how bogus her asylum claim was . And second, back in 2024, an Ecuadoran “...

Verdict in states’ lawsuit says concert giant stifled competition, raising pressure for changes to ticketing market A jury has found that concert giant Live Nation and its Ticketmaster subsidiary had a harmful monopoly over big concert venues, dealing the company a loss in a lawsuit over claims brought by dozens of US states. A Manhattan federal jury deliberated for four days before reaching its decision Wednesday in the closely watched case, which gave fans the equivalent of a backstage pass to a business that dominates live entertainment in the US and beyond.

Consistent revenue performance doesn’t always point to the better investment, but it can reveal potential vulnerabilities in the business. Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) has delivered inconsistent quarterly revenue, which reflects its reliance on trading activity on its digital asset platform. PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL) is more consistent and profitable, while Coinbase’s revenue has not scaled enough to deliver consistent profits.

US equity indexes were mixed on Wednesday as investors weighed President Trump's comments on ending

很多人操勞一輩子，退休取回強積金，想著穩穩陣陣做定期，但有觀眾就向《一線搜查》投訴銀行職員以「錢太少不能做定期」為由，遊說她購買其他理財產品，但懷疑有人透過冒簽財務報表、虛構收入積蓄等，買下她無能力供付的年金產品，更可能賠上10萬元「棺材本」。 本身任保安的吳女士在兩年前退休，取出一份約10萬元的強積金供款，一心想去銀行做定期，但被櫃台職員告知「十萬元這麼少，現在沒有定期做」，找來分行經理介紹做年金。吳女士指當日由客戶經理梁先生負責推銷，「他說每個月供4,600多元，我說要這麼多錢，我不做了，我供不起」，吳女士退休後打兼職月入只得七千多元，所以就一口拒絕。 「一個月開工半個月，找幾千元生活費，我問供多久，他說五年，我說供五年這麼長、供不起、不做了，他就說不用怕、供滿三年就可以拿回十幾萬、拿回十幾萬就可以供餘下的兩年。我想了想，供滿三了有十幾萬，供完那兩年也可以，沒問題，所以我才決定做。」吳女士指當時完全相信客戶經理梁先生的說法，對於風險披露，吳女士回應「你說供滿三年有十幾萬，我就沒甚麼問題。」吳女士指該客戶經理未有進一步講解年金產品細節，問了她「可以嗎」便著她簽名。 翻看文件，原來吳女士購買的是「延期年金」，合約有很多地方提到要到第十年才能開始取錢，而客戶經理梁先生則在聲明上簽署了「本人確認已向保單持有人清楚解釋此計劃將會於受保人年齡75歲時才開始派發年金入息」。吳女士在供了一年後收到年報，才發現事情並非如她所想。 吳女士兒子指看到年報後，問母親在供甚麼，才發現到底發生了甚麼事，「我媽媽是位退休人士，沒理由買到這份年金的……在會面當中，提交了一份財務報表，即是，一個人要買到一份年金，是否合資格就要有那份財務表。」吳女士稱當日完全沒見過這份財務報表，入面申報的內容不是事實，包薪酬上列出的是退休前的收入，而家人提供之家用的金額則是打散工的吳女士兒子所稱沒能力提供到的，另外報表上申報的儲蓄資產，吳女士可以拿出銀行月結單證明自己並沒有儲蓄，稱是客戶經理梁先生「作出來的」。 最令人疑惑的是，吳女士稱自己根本沒有簽署過該份報表，他們兩子以其他字跡核對，直言報表亢的簽名是明顯不同，「你看，由姓氏第一筆開始完全是不相同，簽名第一筆絕對不會變」。吳女士承認保單上十多個名都是好簽，但從來沒有簽過該財務報表，為此向投訴要求先凍結保單，但被拒絕。銀行方面回覆稱經過調查，沒有發現客觀證據走支...

【有線新聞】海南高溫天氣持續，當地局部地區的氣溫今個月曾經連續9日超過40度，專家解釋是受到副熱帶高壓焚風效應等因素影響，導致海南4月氣溫較往年偏高，與厄爾尼諾現象無關。 踏入夏季，海南月初開始氣溫上升，海口、白沙、屯昌等7個市縣連續8至10日錄得超過攝氏37度，澄邁更加連續9日超過40度，打破當地4月高溫日數紀錄。專家指今年高溫天氣出現的時間較往年早，持續時間亦長，原因與厄爾尼諾現象無關，反而是受到副熱帶高壓、西南乾熱氣流和焚風效應等多重影響。 海南省氣候中心正高級工程師朱晶晶：「從氣候成因來看，今年異常高溫並非由全球變暖直接造成，但是全球變暖使得在同樣的天氣系統影響下，高溫更容易出現、極值更容易突破歷史紀錄，二者存在明確且重要的關聯。」 除了海南，內地南方地區包括貴州、四川、雲南等地都出現高溫天氣，其中廣西持續乾旱，氣象部門指今年以來乾旱日數已經超過80日，將採用人工增雨等方式應對。廣東近日亦宣布全省入夏，其中深圳的入夏日期較平均時間提早了大約一個月。

据知情人士透露，美国与伊朗正考虑将停火延长两周，以争取更多时间推进和平协议谈判。尽管围绕霍尔木兹海峡的对峙加剧，但此举有望降低战争重燃的风险。 知情人士表示，调解方正寻求开展技术性会谈，以解决阻碍在下周停火到期后达成更长期协议的关键分歧。相关问题包括重开霍尔木兹海峡以及伊朗核计划的未来。 霍尔木兹海峡的局势仍然严峻。美国设立了海上封锁以切断伊朗运输，而德黑兰继续限制其他船只通过该海峡。这种对峙导致航运量大幅下降，加剧了能源供应危机并威胁对全球经济造成重大冲击。 美伊之间的战斗在4月8日左右开始暂停，当时美国总统特朗普在前一晚宣布达成为期两周的停火。上周末，双方在巴基斯坦举行了首轮和谈，但包括美国副总统JD·万斯在内的与会者未能促成协议。 美国尚未“正式请求延长停火”，白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特周三对记者表示，但承认“我们仍在积极参与这些谈判”。 巴基斯坦军方表示，该国代表团周三抵达伊朗，伊斯兰堡继续在双方之间传递信息，发挥调解作用。 据伊朗国家电视台，伊朗联合军队总部指挥官Ali Abdollahi表示，伊朗认为美国的持续封锁是“违反停火的前奏”。他表示，如果封锁继续，伊朗武装部队“将不允许波斯湾、阿曼海或红海的任何进出口继续进行”。 尽管以色列上周与美国一道暂停对伊朗的攻击，但以军仍在黎巴嫩打击伊朗支持的真主党。 以色列总理内塔尼亚胡周三晚些时候表示，在部队打击真主党目标之际，他已经指示军方继续扩大黎巴嫩南部的安全区。 责任编辑：李桐

Can Nvidia Become a $10 Trillion Company by 2030? The Motley Fool

Davis Turner/Getty Images News Duke Energy ( DUK ) said Wednesday it has filed a request with the North Carolina Utilities Commission to raise customer rates to ​recover more than $800M in higher fuel and power purchase costs incurred during an extreme winter cold snap. Duke ( DUK ) said the request for recovery of fuel and purchased power costs incurred this past winter - totaling $500M for Duke Energy Carolinas and $309M for Duke Energy Progress - represents the actual expenses, without markup, necessary to supply power. The company said ⁠extreme cold in late January and early February in its service area drove demand beyond existing generation and storage capacity, forcing it to buy additional power from ​neighboring utilities ​at high ⁠market prices. Typical residential customers of Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress using 1,000 kWh/month would see an increase of ~$6.90/month and ~$7.88/month, respectively, starting June 1, the company said.

Just_Super/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis While I am probably one of the biggest bulls out there, shares of quantum computing firm IonQ, Inc. ( IONQ ) have dropped over 8% YTD on the back of a risk-off market that has punished companies that are mainly valued on their future potential (such as IonQ). As a bull, this has been frustrating. While shares are clearly in a bear market compared to their all-time high, I think the fundamental story has continued to improve for the quantum industry as a whole and for IonQ. Recent papers put out both by Google ( GOOGL ) and by researchers here in the US have shown that the number of estimated q-bits needed to hack traditional encryption techniques (such as the technology that secures Bitcoin) has dropped by over 90% in the last year. In essence, the ‘doomsday’ for many cybersecurity analysts in the future, where hackers can break traditional encryption and steal financial data, money itself, or do something even worse, is far closer than people originally expected. The result is really a game changer for IonQ. I believe this will accelerate the timeline many CISOs follow in making their networks ‘quantum ready.’ For IonQ, this is a huge accelerant for their Quantum Key Distribution business. IonQ could be on the precipice of their own ‘ChatGPT’ moment, where quantum cyber becomes just as real as AI has become over the last four years. With this, shares continue to be a Strong Buy despite the sell-off. Why I'm Doing Follow Up Coverage While IonQ shares have had a big move this week on the back of World Quantum Day and their new DARPA contract , they are still down roughly 10% from the last time I wrote about them before Q4 earnings (back in January). I think this drop is unwarranted. IonQ’s story over the last two and a half months has improved significantly. The market is really starting to realize the need for making global IT networks post-quantum secure. With this, I believe the company is now facing its ‘ChatGP...

北京时间4月16日凌晨，美股周三收盘涨跌不一。纳指连续第11个交易日收涨，标普500指数创历史最高纪录。市场继续关注美伊谈判的进展及中东局势。美国总统特朗普称伊朗战争“非常接近结束”，暗示本周可能达成协议。 道指跌72.27点，跌幅为0.15%，报48463.72点；纳指涨376.93点，涨幅为1.59%，报24016.02点；标普500指数涨55.57点，涨幅为0.80%，报7022.95点。 标普500指数最高上涨至7026.24点，刷新了其在1月28日创下的7002.28点的前历史高点。该指数在过去11个交易日中有10日上涨。而以科技股为主的 纳斯达克 指数也连续第11个交易日上涨。 博通是周三交易中的主要赢家之一，该股收高约4.2%。此前，Meta Platforms扩大了与博通的合作伙伴关系，将使用这家芯片制造商的技术部署定制芯片。 投资者因美伊之间可能达成协议而推高股市。据伊朗国家媒体报道，巴基斯坦代表团正前往伊朗，传递美国的讯息，并就第二轮会谈拟定计划。 据新华社报道，一家媒体15日援引两名美国官员的话报道说，美国和伊朗在14日的对话中取得了进展，更接近于达成“一项结束战争的框架协议”。 美国总统特朗普周一表示“对方已经给我们打了电话”。他补充道：“他们非常想达成协议。” 一位白宫官员周二表示，华盛顿与德黑兰之间的第二轮谈判正在讨论中。该官员指出，目前尚未正式安排任何议程，并要求匿名以讨论政府内部计划。 特朗普给投资者带来了战争可能不会持续太久的希望，他在周三接受采访时表示，美国可能无需延长与伊朗的停火协议，因为可能已无必要。他表达了自己的观点，即这场战争 “非常接近结束”，并暗示最早可能于本周举行新的谈判 。 当被问及战争是否已经结束时，特朗普表示：“我认为它接近结束了。是的。我的意思是，我认为它非常接近结束。” 特朗普表示：“如果我现在就拔营撤军，他们需要20年才能重建那个国家。我们还没有完成，但我们会看看接下来会发生什么。我认为他们非常想达成协议。” 在另一次接受采访时，特朗普暗示本周将出现重大转折。“我认为你们将见证接下来令人惊叹的两天，”特朗普说。 “它可能以任何一种方式结束，但我认为达成协议是可取的，因为这样他们就可以重建。他们现在确实有了一个不同的政权。无论如何，我们已经清除了那些激进分子。他们走了，不再与我们同在，”他声称。 周三，关于...
