Tesla’s Stock after Hours! What Gamers Should KnowDecember 6, 2024 This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlightedthe following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked trusted source proofread by Kyle Shaner, University of Cincinnati A prediction market was more accurate in forecasting the 2024 presidential election than traditional polls and pundits. Prediction markets, also known as betting markets, are where contracts that are contingent on the occurrence of events in the future can be traded. The potential displayed by that success in forecasting the election, along with an administration friendlier to cryptocurrencies, could lead to greater adoption for them, a University of Cincinnati economist said. Michael Jones, Ph.D., a Carl H. Lindner College of Business assistant professor of economics and director of the Cryptoeconomics Lab at UC Digital Futures, said the success of a blockchain-based prediction market, Polymarket, in predicting the outcome of the election showed that cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies have more potential than just investments. "What's exciting is you're seeing a real-world use case that's getting a lot of attention that shows the value and utility of using a blockchain," Jones said. Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market. Users can take a position on whether or not an event will occur. If they're right, they get paid instantaneously. It's built on a blockchain, an unchanging digital ledger of economic transactions that records not only financial transactions but anything of value, in a global and verifiable system. As Election Day approached, Trump was trading at approximately 60 cents on the dollar on Polymarket. Those who bet on Trump made approximately 40 cents profit per share once he won the election. The market gave Trump greater odds to win than most polls, which had the election at close to 50-50 odds, and was closer to the final Electoral College tally. "The polls are just people's opinions; the pundits had their opinions, but there really are no consequences if they got it wrong," Jones said. "Maybe they took a little heat in the media. But if you got it wrong in the prediction market side, then you lost significant amounts of money. "What people started to realize is there's information contained in these prediction markets , so we should take them seriously." Prediction markets can be used for more practical matters, too, Jones said. For example, companies have used them to gauge the likelihood that a product will launch in the coming year. Typically, employees are incentivized to present optimistic outlooks to their employers. Prediction markets are more likely to get an unbiased opinion. "The advantage is it's built on the wisdom of the crowd," Jones said. "If everybody is able to use their own secret information, their own personal experiences of what they know, it sort of aggregates all of the individuals and really puts money on the line. "What you're really doing is democratizing the information collection." Also, some companies have used prediction markets to hedge against risk, Jones said. They might take a position that pays out if something occurs, such as a natural disaster or unfavorable court ruling, that otherwise would harm their business. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which is part of the U.S. Department of Defense, experimented with using prediction markets to predict things such as terrorism, coups and recessions.

Sign up for our free newsletter and get updates on breakthroughs, innovations, and research that matter— daily or weekly . The DARPA project was controversial as there were objections to people profiting off tragedies such as terrorism. Still, other people maintain the knowledge gained from the prediction market is more valuable than the potential downsides. "Economists took both sides of this," Jones said. "If you need to get this information out, are you willing to accept that the trade-off is someone might profit from the higher likelihood that you could save lives—because you know there's a high probability an event is going to occur?" For the past couple years, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission has prohibited American citizens from participating in some prediction markets. However, Jones said it would be naive to think Americans haven't participated, including in the election prediction market, as tools such as virtual private networks allow users to hide their locations online. During Joe Biden's presidential administration, the U.S. government, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, has been aggressive in pursuing cases against cryptocurrency companies and pursuing regulations. There likely will be fewer regulations during the Trump administration, Jones said. "Many investors are anticipating that a lot of those cases will be dropped," he said. "I think a lot of the regulations around crypto companies being located in the U.S. will be improved, so it will open up more economic activity for those companies." Jones expects it will be easier for cryptocurrency companies to locate in the United States and build their businesses here. He also expects more companies and individuals to adopt cryptocurrencies as an asset class. Provided by University of Cincinnati
Trump asks Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban so he can weigh in after he takes office President-elect Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. Trump's request Friday came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court. Oral arguments are scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. The brief said Trump opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.” Stock market today: Wall Street slips as the 'Magnificent 7' weighs down the market NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are closing lower as Wall Street ends a holiday-shortened week on a down note. The S&P 500 fell 1.1% Friday and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 333 points, or 0.8%. The Nasdaq composite dropped 1.5%. The “Magnificent 7” stocks weighed on the market, led by declines in Nvidia, Tesla and Microsoft. Even with the loss, the S&P 500 had a modest gain for the week and is still headed for its second consecutive annual gain of more than 20%, the first time that has happened since 1997-1998. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.62%. 10 tips from experts to help you change your relationship with money in 2025 NEW YORK (AP) — As the calendar changes to 2025, you might be thinking about how to approach your relationship with money in the new year. Whether you’re saving to move out of your parents’ house or pay off student loan debt, financial resolutions can help you stay motivated. If you’re planning to make financial resolutions for the new year, experts recommend that you start by evaluating the state of your finances in 2024. Then, set specific goals and make sure they’re attainable for your lifestyle. Janet Yellen tells Congress US could hit debt limit in mid-January WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says her agency will need to start taking “extraordinary measures,” or special accounting maneuvers intended to prevent the nation from hitting the debt ceiling, as early as January 14th, in a letter sent to congressional leaders Friday afternoon. The department has taken such action in the past. But once those measures run out the government risks defaulting on its debt unless lawmakers and the president agree to lift the limit on the U.S. government’s ability to borrow. An online debate over foreign workers in tech shows tensions in Trump's political coalition WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump’s supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in the president-elect’s political movement into public display. The argument previews fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare tensions between the newest flank of Trump’s movement — that is, wealthy members of the tech world who want more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump’s Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. A 9th telecoms firm has been hit by a massive Chinese espionage campaign, the White House says WASHINGTON (AP) — A top White House official says a ninth U.S. telecoms firm has been confirmed to have been hacked as part of a sprawling Chinese espionage campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. Administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies, as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon. But Anne Neuberger, a deputy national security adviser, said Friday that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to hunt for Chinese culprits in their networks. Most Americans blame insurance profits and denials alongside the killer in UHC CEO death, poll finds WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Americans believe health insurance profits and coverage denials share responsibility for the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO — although not as much as the person who pulled the trigger. So says a new poll from NORC at the University of Chicago. It finds that about 8 in 10 Americans say that the person who committed the killing has “a great deal” or “a moderate amount” of responsibility for the Dec. 4 shooting of Brian Thompson. Still, some see suspect Luigi Mangione as a heroic figure. About 7 in 10 adults say coverage denials or health insurance profits also bear at least “a moderate amount” of responsibility for Thompson’s death. Another jackpot surpasses $1 billion. Is this the new normal? Remember this moment because it probably won’t last: A U.S. lottery jackpot is projected to soar above $1 billion, and that's still a big deal. Friday’s Mega Millions drawing is worth an estimated $1.15 billion. The prize has evoked headlines across the country, despite the nation's top 10 jackpots already having boasted billion-dollar payouts. Jonathan Cohen is the author of the book “For a Dollar and a Dream: State Lotteries in Modern America.” He says he expects jackpots to continue to grow in size. Larger payouts attract more media attention, increase ticket sales and bring in new players. How the stock market defied expectations again this year, by the numbers NEW YORK (AP) — What a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The benchmark index posted its first back-to-back annual gains of more than 20% since 1998. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing. But it wasn’t just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin and gold surged and “Roaring Kitty” reappeared to briefly reignite the meme stock craze. Richard Parsons, prominent executive who led Time Warner and Citigroup, dies at 76 NEW YORK (AP) — Richard Parsons, one of corporate America’s most prominent Black executives who held top posts at Time Warner and Citigroup, has died. He was 76. Parsons died Thursday at his Manhattan home. He was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2015 and cited “unanticipated complications” from the disease for cutting back on work a few years later. Financial services company Lazard confirmed his death. Parsons was a longtime member of the company's board. His friend Ronald Lauder told The New York Times that the cause of death was cancer. Parsons stepped down Dec. 3 from the boards of Lazard and Lauder’s company, Estée Lauder, citing health reasons. He had been on Estée Lauder’s board for 25 years.Trump asks Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban so he can weigh in after he takes officePRESBYTERIAN 67, YOUNGSTOWN STATE 42
US President-elect Donald Trump filed a brief Friday urging the Supreme Court to pause a law that would ban TikTok the day before his January 20 inauguration if it is not sold by its Chinese owner ByteDance. "In light of the novelty and difficulty of this case, the court should consider staying the statutory deadline to grant more breathing space to address these issues," Trump's legal team wrote, to give him "the opportunity to pursue a political resolution." US President-elect Donald Trump filed a brief Friday urging the Supreme Court to pause a law that would ban TikTok the day before his January 20 inauguration if it is not sold by its Chinese owner ByteDance. "In light of the novelty and difficulty of this case, the court should consider staying the statutory deadline to grant more breathing space to address these issues," Trump's legal team wrote, to give him "the opportunity to pursue a political resolution." Trump was fiercely opposed to TikTok during his 2017-21 first term, and tried in vain to ban the video app on national security grounds. The Republican voiced concerns -- echoed by political rivals -- that the Chinese government might tap into US TikTok users' data or manipulate what they see on the platform. US officials had also voiced alarm over the popularity of the video-sharing app with young people, alleging that its parent company is subservient to Beijing and that the app is used to spread propaganda, claims denied by the company and the Chinese government. Trump called for a US company to buy TikTok, with the government sharing in the sale price, and his successor Joe Biden went one stage further -- signing a law to ban the app for the same reasons. Trump has now, however, reversed course. "Now (that) I'm thinking about it, I'm for TikTok, because you need competition," he recently told Bloomberg. "If you don't have TikTok, you have Facebook and Instagram -- and that's, you know, that's Zuckerberg." Facebook, founded by Mark Zuckerberg and part of his Meta tech empire, was among the social media networks that banned Trump after attacks by his supporters on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The ban was driven by concerns that he would use the platform to promote more violence. Those bans on major social media platforms were later lifted. In the brief filed on Friday, Trump's lawyer made it clear the president-elect did not take a position on the legal merits of the current case. "President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute," John Sauer wrote in the amicus curiae -- or "friend of the court" -- brief. "Instead, he respectfully requests that the court consider staying the act's deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case, thus permitting President Trump's incoming Administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case."

More info Shoppers have been poking fun at the absence of Harry and Meghan from Selfridges' Royal family Christmas bauble range, with some suggesting that the Sussexes' decorations might end up "in the bargain bin". The high-end Oxford Street store is selling £40 ornaments resembling King Charles, the late Queen Elizabeth, and the Waleses, but neither the Duke and Duchess of Sussex nor Queen Consort Camilla feature in the collection. Social media users have reacted to the omission, with one quipping: "I'm presuming that the Harry and Meghan baubles are in the bargain bin?!" Another chimed in with a tongue-in-cheek comment about Queen Camilla's absence: "I am sure Queen Camilla is very grateful!" READ MORE: Katie Price's Mucky Mansion sells for £200,000 less than she paid for it 10 years ago However, not everyone is enamoured with the bauble designs on offer, with some critics branding them "tacky" and questioning who would want to hang likenesses of William or Charles on their tree. One detractor remarked on the Prince and Princess of Wales' baubles: "Both awful looking. No doubt the royal sycophants on here will lap these up, though." Despite the mixed reactions, the unique baubles did attract attention inside Selfridges, although the steep price tag seemed to deter potential buyers. A pair of American tourists, after taking a photo with the Prince William bauble, commented: "It's nice - but not for £40! " Similarly, another shopper expressed her dilemma to a friend: "They're sweet - but £40 just for one?" Prince William's baubles were nestled between those resembling British actress Audrey Hepburn and American musician Post Malone. Other celebrities featured around the future king included Amy Winehouse, Harry Styles, Freddie Mercury, Britney Spears, and Paul Hollywood. The festive ornaments, crafted from coloured glass, stand approximately 12 - 13cm tall. King Charles is portrayed in his full Coronation Day attire, while the late Queen Elizabeth is adorned with one of her many crowns. On its website, Selfridges describes its Kate Middleton decoration as "a stunning depiction of Her Royal Highness Princess Kate." In reference to its Prince William bauble, the store states: "This piece is sure to add a hint of regal sophistication to your Christmas decor."ClickBoss AI: Transforming Business Decision-Making With Real-Time Insights

Princess Kate inadvertently hinted at a massive change in her life during a key royal appointment today, a body language expert has said. The Princess of Wales , 42, was among the first senior royals to arrive at the annual Christmas Carol service held at Westminster Abbey this evening, appearing initially solo before she was joined by her husband, Prince William , and three children. The younger royals joined after visiting the "kindness tree" on which Prince Louis could be seen leaving a message for the late Queen and Prince Philip . The message read: "Thank you to granny and grandpa because they have played games with me." Princess Kate came with no such message, but body language experts who have carefully studied her body language have noticed subtle changes to her composure that speak volumes. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror , Judi James said she appears to have "changed her body language rituals" and even appeared to emulate the King. Ms James started with the Princess' arrival, saying she emerged with a "radiant" smile before cementing her place as the "leader of the event". She said: "Kate's smile on her lone arrival was classic Kate, a radiant, perfect Duchenne smile that threw a warm and grateful-looking connecting tie-sign to the fans outside. "Her lack of a bag to carry suggested confidence as she has at times used her bags as barriers when she has been feeling vulnerable. Here she just touched the fingers of both hands together or gesticulated as she spoke to again suggest confidence and to define her role as leader of this event." When she entered the service, the expert added, she expressed an all new "dimension" to her behaviour, with Ms James catching the Princess' emotion at attending alongside other cancer survivors. She continued: "But when she was greeting the guests inside, we saw a new dimension to Kate's body language rituals. "She has always been politely animated but here she was much more openly expressive and emotional with her facial expressions. This is a very moving service for Kate, with other cancer sufferers attending, and that seemed to reflect in her animated expressions that ranged from nose-wrinkled, dimpled laughter to a much more empathetic and concerned look, with steepled brows and the saddest eye expression accompanying a kind mouth smile." Ms James added that, at one point during the service, she appeared to mirror King Charles III. She said: "At one point she even seemed to be mirroring her father-in-law, arching her back slightly and performing the kind of playful chuckle that is Charles's signature look when he is meeting guests." Despite this, the strongest mirroring came from Prince William and his eldest son, Prince George , 11, Ms James suggested. She said: "The strongest mirroring though came between William and George. The father and son have famously adopted mirrored poses but it's usual that, with age, the tendency can decline. "Here the opposite seems to be true though, with each mirroring the other now, sitting or standing in identical poses for much of the time."By Baba Martins Operatives recover six rifles, 1,125 ammunition concealed in sacks of garri We’re all guilty of not promoting Made In Nigeria goods – Minister Join Daily Trust WhatsApp Community For Quick Access To News and Happenings Around You.

Midday stock movers: Lululemon, Ulta Beauty, HP EnterpriseThe Sacramento Kings fired head coach Mike Brown on Friday, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Brown was fired after the Kings suffered a heartbreaking 114-113 defeat at the hands of the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night, representing their fifth consecutive loss. Assistant coach Doug Christie is set to become the team's interim head coach, per Charania . Sacramento won at least 46 games in each of the past two seasons but owns a record of just 13-18 to open its 2024-25 campaign. The slow start was especially surprising considering stars De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis have remained relatively healthy, combining to miss just three games this season. Brown was named the 2022-23 Coach of the Year after helping the Kings snap a 16-year playoff drought, but now he's no longer with the organization. Here are three potential candidates to replace him. Minnesota Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori has been a candidate for several head coaching openings throughout the past year and he could be considered for Sacramento's sudden vacancy. Nori doesn't have any head coaching experience, but he's served as Chris Finch's top assistant since the start of the 2021-22 season. He has also briefly operated as the Timberwolves' interim head coach whenever Finch hasn't been available. He has some familiarity with Sacramento, as he was an assistant on the team from 2013-15 under former Kings head coach and current Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone. Nori was interviewed by the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers regarding their head coaching vacancies following the 2023-24 season, but he ultimately didn't land either role. He started his NBA coaching journey with the Toronto Raptors in 2009 and has been on the coaching staff of various teams in every season since. Brown already had 563 games of experience under his belt before taking over as Sacremento's head coach in 2022, and the team could chose to go in the direction of a first-time coach for its next candidate. Nori may be the person to fill the role. Similar to Nori, Denver Nuggets assistant David Adelman is a qualified candidate that would potentially become a head coach for the first time in his career if the Kings end up targeting him. Adelman has served as the Nuggets' lead assistant since the start of the 2017-18 season and has been a part of their rise from a playoff contender to a champion in 2023. Prior to his time in Denver, he was on the Timberwolves' staff from 2011-16 before joining the Orlando Magic for the 2016-17 season. While Adelman is still with the Nuggets, he was considered for multiple roles during the 2024 head coaching cycle. He interviewed with the Charlotte Hornets , Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers regarding their respective vacancies. He also previously received the endorsement of superstar center Nikola Jokić. "I really think that DA's a guy who's gonna be next head coach because he has that, I'm gonna say 'head' for a head coach," Jokic said in Jan. 2023, per Mike Singer of The Denver Post . "... He knows the answers. He reads, reacts." Adelman doesn't have any professional connection to the Kings, but he does have a personal one. His father, Rick, served as Sacramento's head coach from 1999 through 2006 and ranks No. 1 on the organization's all-time wins list (395) while also holding the highest winning percentage (63.3 percent) for a head coach in the team's history. It's possible that Adelman may look to follow in his father's footsteps for his first head coaching gig. If the Kings are able to turn their season around with Doug Christie, it's easy to imagine him becoming the team's full-time head coach moving forward. Christie's ties to the organization run deep, as he's already been on Sacramento's staff since the start of the 2021-22 season. He covered the team for NBC Sports California prior to becoming an assistant. The former NBA shooting guard spent five years of his career with the Kings, averaging 10.6 points and 4.3 rebounds per game during 355 appearances in Sacramento. Christie was also the team's 2024 Summer League head coach . There's still time for the Kings to turn their season around, which will need to start with pulling out wins in close games. Sacramento has struggled mightily in clutch situations, which is defined as the final five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime when the score is within five points. The Kings have found themselves in 20 clutch games this season, owning a record of just 6-13 (via NBA.com ). Despite boasting isolation scorers such as Fox and DeMar DeRozan, Sacramento has routinely let games slip away. If Christie can find a way to help the Kings solve their late-game issues and compete for a second playoff appearance in three years, he'll likely earn serious consideration to remain in the role for the foreseeable future.
Trump voices support for Hegseth, says he's "doing very well" President-elect Donald Trump took to social media Friday to defend his embattled pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth. CBS News political reporter Olivia Rinaldi has the latest on Hegseth's effort to be confirmed for the job.Tom Homan explains how he plans to implement mass deportations for illegal migrants on ‘Hannity.’ San Diego County will soon vote on a resolution to block all county cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including letting them know about the release of criminal illegal immigrants -- coming just weeks before the Trump administration is expected to launch a historic deportation campaign. The resolution would go further than the state’s sanctuary law, which generally limits law enforcement's cooperation with ICE, and represents a hardline stance against all cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The new resolution, which will see a vote on December 10 as part of the county’s "commitment to social justice and inclusion," will say that the county will not provide assistance or cooperation to ICE "including by giving ICE agents access to individuals or allowing them to use County facilities for investigative interviews or other purposes, expending County time or resources responding to ICE inquiries or communicating with ICE regarding individuals’ incarceration status or release dates, or otherwise participating in any civil immigration enforcement activities." ANOTHER MAJOR BLUE CITY DOUBLES DOWN ON VOW TO OBSTRUCT TRUMP'S MASS DEPORTATION PLAN In this undated photo, ICE agents arrest an illegal immigrant. (Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)) "When federal immigration authorities, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Border Patrol, coerce local law enforcement to carry out deportations, family members are separated and community trust in law enforcement and local government is destroyed," an overview of the resolution claims. "Witnesses and victims who are undocumented or who have loved ones who are undocumented are afraid to come to the County for help, which includes calling local law enforcement. This puts the public safety of all San Diegans at risk." San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chair Nora Vargas said that California’s current sanctuary laws restricting ICE deportations don’t go far enough. "While the California Values Act significantly expanded protection from deportation to California residents, it fell short of protecting all residents, because it allowed agencies to still notify ICE of release dates and transfers individuals to ICE without a warrant in some circumstances," she said. Former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Thomas Homan speaks during the third day of the 2024 Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 17, 2024. (Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP via Getty Images) TOP CONSERVATIVE GROUP REVEALS ROADMAP TO REBUILD NEW US IMMIGRATION SYSTEM 'FROM THE ASHES' She argues that the "loophole" has resulted in some illegal immigrants being transferred to ICE custody or ICE being notified of their release. The resolution is similar to a 2019 policy adopted in Santa Clara County. "By avoiding active cooperation with ICE, including through specific notification to ICE of the release dates of immigrants, the County avoids treating a group of individuals differently solely on the basis of their immigration status," she says. Republican San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond, who opposes the resolution, says he believes the resolution will pass, given the Democratic makeup of the board of supervisors. He said he believed the move was in line with a broader effort by the state to "Trump-proof" the state, and called it a "knee-jerk" reaction. "This is going to really impede different agencies and working together to make sure that everyone's safe, even the immigrants that are here now that have come across the border. This is going to hurt their communities even worse," he told Fox News Digital in an interview. "I think this is going to allow more criminals who are here illegally to stay in San Diego County, and to get away with these kinds of crimes to where law enforcement can't work with immigration or with ICE on a much broader group of crimes. So, it's going to allow more rampant crime here and make our cities and our communities less safe."

In Boston this week, the city council unanimously voted for a resolution to protect illegal immigrants from "unjust enforcement actions" and restricting Boston police from cooperating with ICE.
