Liberals seek to rein in the supposed excesses of technology companies when it comes to wages and workers’ rights, while conservatives rant about censorship and deplatforming on Twitter. Meanwhile, America’s adversaries in the Xi Jinping government in China—a rising superpower that cheats and steals its way to victory—chuckle at our self-destructive response. Rather than enhancing our innovative technology industry, we risk undermining it through increased government intervention. The United States is home to companies that make up substantially more than half of the market value of the top 100 global public companies....

Well, shrugging off our absence from such lists apparently isn’t so simple for many Latinos in this country. By now I have overheard probably dozens of comments from Latinos about “The NEWSWEEK 100.” In San Francisco, where I live, patrons in a local taqueria championed their own personal favorites: Edward James Olmos. Christina. Raul Julia. And at Stanford, where I teach, students defended their own choices. Sandra Cisneros. Ruben Blades....

Both concepts are gaining in popularity in online spaces. Whether it’s a company publicizing their latest projects are individual users working on personal projects, web scraping and data mining are a hot topic. But what’s the difference, and how do you know which one to use for your next project? Let’s take a look. What Is Web Scraping? Web scraping is the practice of extracting data directly from websites. Generally, web scraping has three main requirements; target website, a web scraping tool, and a database to store harvested data....

In a clip shared on October 9, user Gabby Goessling (@gabby.goessling) showcases the outfit she wanted to wear to a friend’s nuptials that day. The long gown included a floral pattern and thigh-high split, but the shade of the dress was causing her concern. “Is this dress too white for a wedding?” she asked users in the caption. “I get so scared of being inappropriate and bought a spare just in case....

Wednesday has been a huge hit for Netflix. According to reports, a Wednesday season 2 writer’s room was formed last year, and a renewal appeared to be inevitable. The series, which stars Ortega in the titular role, has become a veritable phenomenon, with numerous moments from the show going viral. The first season of Wednesday ended with several plotlines being left unresolved, leaving the door open for future seasons....

Scream star Jenna Ortega leads the cast for the upcoming Netflix original series, portraying the twisted teenager who will take center stage in the series’ haunting events, Wednesday Addams. The series will follow the titular figure’s journey at the prestigious Nevermore Academy, where she will attempt to master her looming psychic abilities while equally working to solve a murder mystery that has veiled connections to her family’s past.

OK, that’s not really good news. Ballage did have 20 carries last week and has a favorable matchup (vs. Bills) in Week 11, so he actually is worth playing, but the definition of two-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust likely isn’t going to make or break your week. That type of impact – at least the “break” part – will come from guys like David Johnson (@ 49ers), Jordan Howard (vs. Patriots), Sony Michel (@ Eagles), and Philip Lindsay (@ Vikings)....

If you’re looking for fun, we’d advise you just to scroll down to the tournament section and find a stack only possible on FanDuel that includes both Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill. What a beautiful world we’re living in that such a play is possible in Week 11. (Update: With Adam Schefter reporting that Taysom Hill is starting at QB this week, it sadly looks like the dream of a Winston-Hill stack is dead....

Making a deal – or an add/drop transaction – at this time of year always comes with second guessing, but standing pat rarely wins fantasy championships Here are some names that could help you take the next step, both by adding or dropping.

We’re also concerned about usual fantasy starters, such as Devonta Freeman (@ 49ers) and Josh Allen (@ Steelers). Injuries combined with bad matchups could spoil the week for early-season fantasy stalwarts JuJu Smith-Schuster and Evan Engram, too. (Update: Injuries already spoiled the week for them because they’re both officially out.) WEEK 15 NON-PPR RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker You guys made it too easy for us to get one particular bust call right last week: Darwin Thompson was always unlikely to have a good game against a strong Pats’ defense, but fantasy owners swooned over him....

Speaking of Week 17, we’re at that point in the season, and that means plenty of star-caliber players may find themselves sitting as they prepare for either the postseason or next season. Notably, the Saints and the Cowboys seem to be in prime position to rest starters, as they are locked into the No. 1 and No. 4 seeds in the NFC, respectively. While we have their top guys ranked for now, that is something that definitely could change throughout the week....

James Monroe (0-1) at Weir (2-0): Weir is coming off back-to-back wins against Oak Glen 49-14 in week 1 and Anacostia(D.C.) 71-20 in week 2. James Monroe surprisingly dropped their first game in a shutout by Greenbrier East 14-0 before entering their bye week in week 2. Brooke (0-1) at University (1-1). University took one on the chin in a 42-35 loss to John Marshall in week 1 but rallied back to beat Parkersburg South 24-7 in week 2....

After going down to Barcelona two years ago, Allegri’s men came to Cardiff with more confidence of competing, but they were put to the sword, with Cristiano Ronaldo producing a devastating two-goal display. Real Madrid make Champions League history It leaves Gianluigi Buffon still yet to taste European Cup glory. The great goalkeeper will play on next season, but his future beyond then is unclear. Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli suffered a rare chastening evening in front of Buffon, but Allegri sees no reason to rip things up and start afresh in Turin....

Glenn Murray scored the only goal of the Premier League fixture in the 25th minute, applying the finishing touch to Beram Kayal’s cross at the Amex Stadium. The hosts were good value for their lead at the break but were forced to fend off a West Ham fightback in the second half, with centre-back pairing Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk - who had both signed new long-term contracts prior to kick-off - excelling at the heart of the Brighton defence....

Speaking at The Peterson Institute for International Economics, Summers argued, “there are better ways to be much more progressive” than a wealth tax similar to those proposed by 2020 Democratic presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. He compared their campaigns’ redistribution proposals to the failed 1972 presidential run of George McGovern, and challenged liberals to see that a wealth tax could backfire and increase corporate lobbying to groups such as the NRA....

Once again, our bust picks were fairly accurate last week. LeSean McCoy and Mark Ingram struggled to do much in tough matchups; Mitchell Trubisky and Matthew Stafford both struggled to move the ball for their teams at QB; and guys like Demaryius Thomas and DeSean Jackson weren’t able to do much as pass catchers, so avoiding them was smart. We’ll continue to find potential busts and warn you about them so you can avoid starting them....

Of course, there’s Jack Doyle, the rare free agent add who actually delivered on his hype. He takes on the second-worst defense against tight ends, the Buccaneers, and should continue his high-volume PPR ways whether T.Y. Hilton (calf) is back or not. Then you have Vance McDonald against the Cardinals. After Tyler Higbee set his career-high for receiving yards in the first half against Arizona in Week 13, you can’t consider sitting McDonald unless you have one of the top-tier studs....

WEEK 15 FANTASY: Busts | Start ’em, sit ’em Our Week 14 sleepers ended up being solid, and we had at least one player “hit” at each position. J.D. McKissic panned out at RB while Philip Rivers and Kirk Cousins had decent days at QB. At WR and TE, Darnell Mooney ended up catching a TD while Mike Gesicki found the end zone twice during one of his best games as a pro....
