Welcome to the 46th edition of The Daily Zap — A Daily Newspaper (Kind of 🙏). Here, you'll get links to all of the latest news and updates mostly from the last 24 hours, divided in Sections (much similar to pages on a newspaper).
Let's unfold!

~Bitcoin News of the Day

  • No, it’s not the first time Mollah has pulled this stunt. He sued crypto exchange Coinbase all the way back in 2021, claiming that they stole his company name from him, at the time saying that Satoshi Nakamoto was his pseudonym and true identity.

Global Trade & ~Econ

  • Argentina's central bank cut its benchmark interest rate to 35% in a surprise move on Friday, boosting local markets and signaling growing optimism by the government that it can tame the country's triple-digit inflation.
  • The 500 basis point cut was the seventh time the policy rate has been lowered since outsider libertarian President Javier Milei took office in December when it was 133%. Bond prices rose on average 2% on the news and the country risk index fell.

~Politics_and_Law

  • With Election Day only three days away, Mr. Trump is already claiming the Democrats are “a bunch of cheats,” as his allies in battleground states spread distorted reports of mishaps at the polls to push a narrative of widespread fraud.

~Stacker_Sports News

  • The NFL has been reviewing the case of the San Francisco 49ers defensive end’s blatant disregard for the league’s rule against wearing or messaging political slogans for the bulk of the week – Bosa crashed an NBC postgame interview on Sunday night and pointed to the “Make America Great Again” cap he wore – but has yet to issue a statement or reveal the extent of the expected discipline.

~Tech & ~Science

  • It's not a commercial farm, and US agriculture officials said there is no concern about the safety of the nation's pork supply. But finding bird flu in a pig raises worries that the virus may be hitting a stepping stone to becoming a bigger threat to people, said Jennifer Nuzzo, a Brown University pandemic researcher.

~History with Mystery

  • Early examples of the white flag as a symbol of truce or surrender are hard to come by. The Roman historian Livy wrote that, during the Second Punic War (218–201 B.C.), the Carthaginians signaled their desire for peace with “bands of white wool and branches of olive.”
  • Later, the Roman historian Tacitus recounted a similar incident during a Roman civil war in A.C. 69, writing that one of the warring factions “displayed white bands and olive branches.”.

~Entertainment World

  • Investigators only identified “several isolated instances of workplace harassment and misconduct," according to a two-page letter sent Friday by Alex Spiro, a trial lawyer who led the investigation by white-shoe law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan and whose clients have included Jay-Z and Elon Musk.

NFL will probably wait until after the election to discipline Bosa.

Yup. There's no rule for an urgent application of any rule anywhere.
