We will do everything in our power to make whole those who were persecuted for political purposes. This includes stripping DOJ’s website of partisan propaganda.” A review by NPR found that the deleted material included information about some of the most serious …

TUI sends passengers a dedicated pre‑departure email nine days before departure (Image: Getty ) TUI has issued official guidance in a fresh update for passengers holding flight bookings to Europe. Speaking to the Mirror on Tuesday morning (April 28), TUI outlined the measures the airline is implementing to assist customers during the introduction of the new Entry/Exit System (EES). According to reports from early 2026, the airports experiencing the longest EES queues are predominantly in Spain and Portugal. Lisbon (LIS), Tenerife South (TFS), Palma de Mallorca (PMI), Faro (FAO), and Almeria (LEI) are encountering significant delays that can stretch for hours. A statement on Faro Airport’s website reads: “Due to possible constraints on departures border control, longer waiting times are to be expected. Passengers to international (Non Schengen) flights please arrive early at the Airport.” The new system, which gathers biometric data from passengers, means first-time users must submit fingerprints and photographs, extending processing times.

OpenAI fires employee for using confidential info on prediction markets

OpenAI fires employee for using confidential info on prediction markets

Published by skeptic

OpenAI has fired an employee over the employee’s activity on prediction markets, including Polymarket, the company confirmed to Wired. The employee used confidential OpenAI information in connection with the trades made, the company alleges. OpenAI didn’t release the name of the employee. However, a spokesperson said that such actions violated a company policy that bans workers from using inside information for personal gain, including on prediction markets. Prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi allow people to make wagers on the outcomes of real-world events. For instance, on Polymarket, there are wagers being made around the kind of products OpenAI will announce in 2026 and when the company will go public. They can cover any event, and some eye-popping money can be made. As we recently reported, an accountant won a $470,300 jackpot on Kalshi by betting against DOGE believers. Prediction markets insist they are not gambling sites, preferring to label themselves as financial platforms. Kalshi is a regulated exchange and, in fact, it fined and banned a MrBeast editor for similar alleged insider trading earlier …
