Riley's family lives 5 kilometers (3 miles) from Wudinna, a community of just over 1,000 in South Australia state. But some of his school friends live as far as 70 kilometers (43 miles) away. "I don't think the impact will be very positive for us. We don't have a lot out here to get in contact with each other," Riley said. "I'm not sure how we're going to keep in touch over the holidays with each other," he said, referring to the Southern Hemisphere summer break that starts on Thursday. Riley and others younger than 16 will be banned by law from holding accounts with Facebook, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Snapchat,…...

14+ min ago (151+ words) Lately, there's been a lot of talk about which jobs AI might replace. But there's far less discussion about something equally important: the new roles and responsibilities emerging because of AI. There's a growing debate about AI's impact on work " some believe it's redefining whole careers, while others say it's overblown. But beneath the headlines, the shift appears far more complex, influencing not just programming but also writing, design, team workflows, and even how people learn on the job. Since developers often experience these changes more directly than most, I wanted to ask something more specific: Some industries are being reshaped faster than others, and software development often feels like it's at the center of this change. I'd love to hear real experiences from people inside the field " not just the headlines. Curious to hear different perspectives " feel free to…...

14+ min ago (398+ words) YOUNGSTOWN " The Youngstown Board of Education has adopted a motion to form an ad hoc committee to address transportation challenges in the district as it prepares to implement a two-phase reconfiguration plan beginning in the 2026-27 school year. In its 7-0 vote during its regular meeting Tuesday at East High School, the board decided such a committee was necessary to gain traction on tackling the problem via returning to using school buses to transport the students. The driving force behind the move was a shortage of bus drivers, which is a continuing problem not only in Youngstown, but statewide, Superintendent Jeremy Batchelor has said. The Youngstown City School District has about 76 drivers and bus aides, Mikos said, adding that drivers earn $24.78 hourly, as per the newest contract that was ratified earlier this year. In addition, the district is hiring bus aides, she…...

14+ min ago (189+ words) The Labor Department reported Tuesday that employers posted 7.67 million vacancies in October, close to September's 7.66 million. Job openings have come down steadily since peaking at a record 12.1 million in March 2022, when the economy was roaring back from COVID-19 lockdowns. The job market has cooled partly because of the lingering effect of the high interest rates the Federal Reserve engineered in 2022 and 2023 to combat an outburst of inflation. Meanwhile, the 43-day federal shutdown has made a mess of the government's economic statistics. The October report on job openings came out a week late, and the September version was not published separately because federal data collectors were on furlough. Instead, September's JOLTS numbers were folded into Tuesday's report along with October's. They showed a hefty increase in openings from 7.23 million in August. Forecasters surveyed by the data firm FactSet predict that employers…...

14+ min ago (257+ words) MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - New federal guidelines on what is considered a professional degree are raising concerns in Alabama's nursing industry. With nursing being left of the list, nursing students will not be able to take out as much in loans to get that degree. Before, graduate students could borrow federal loans up to the cost of their degree. Under the "One Big Beautiful Bill' act, which was passed over the summer, students pursuing professional degrees can borrow up to $50,000 in an academic year; for nonprofessional degrees, the limit is $20,500. "I think we've been talking about that a lot over the last several years and I feel like this misses that mark," said Laura Hart, executive director of the Alabama State Nurses Association. Hart said the lowered loan cap would make it harder for Alabama nurses to pay their schooling costs…...
