The bill was approved by a 41-7 city council vote on December 15 and went into law January 15 when Mayor Eric Adams declined to veto it. It prohibits employers from posting job listings without minimum and maximum salary information. The law applies to any employer with four or more employees and will begin being enforced May 15. That includes contract workers, interns and freelancers. According to the new law, it will be considered “an unlawful discriminatory practice” for an employer to advertise a job without the new provisions....

“We’re continuing to see people get arrested over and over and let right back out. And it really defies common sense,” Dermot Shea, commissioner of the New York City Police Department, said in an interview with NBC 4 News. “If this was a business, the business would go bankrupt…You need to insert some common sense into how the criminal justice system works,” Shea said. About 2,500 prisoners were released early from the jail at Rikers Island due to concerns over the spread of the coronavirus among prisoners....

Ismael Tajouri-Shradi and David Villa scored first-half goals and NYCFC moved forward to play second-seeded Atlanta United in a two-game Eastern Conference semifinal series, with the first game scheduled for Sunday in New York. In the 10th minute, Moralez sent a pass forward that Villa flicked off his heel to Tajouri-Shradi, who turned it into a 22-yard line drive into the upper left-hand corner of the net for a 1-0 lead....

The hosts will be high on confidence after taking the three-match T20I series 2-0. Their home form in Test matches has also been great. They will back themselves to take all the points from this series, giving themselves a chance to rise up the World Test Championship points table. Meanwhile, West Indies have shown signs of brilliance in Test cricket, although those moments have been few and far between. Skipper Jason Holder and Roston Chase will hold the key if West Indies are to pose any challenge to New Zealand....

ESPN reported that Oakland’s financial partner, Fortress — a private equity firm — has committed to loan $650 million toward the stadium rather than act a guarantor for things such as personal seat licenses, sponsorships and suites. The city of Oakland would provide $200 million in public funding for the site, $150 million of which would be advanced by Fortress. The rest of the funding, $500 million, would come from the Raiders and NFL....

“I’ve always been proud of what this team accomplished during my administration. But more than what we did, I’m proud of how they’re continuing to fight for an America that’s better,” Obama tweeted, alongside a link to the article titled “We are African Americans, we are patriots, and we refuse to sit idly by,” published on Friday. “We stand with congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib, as well as all those currently under attack by President Trump, along with his supporters and his enablers, who feel deputized to decide who belongs here — and who does not,” the article, co-signed by 148 African Americans who served in the Obama administration, said....

While the World No. 8 is currently in the thick of battle in the ATP Finals in Turin, his fellow Serb sporting heroes are ramping up their preparations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup by taking part in a friendly match against Bahrain at the National Stadium in Riffa on November 18. The Airbus A319 plane that served the Football Association of Serbia bore Djokovic’s name. This kickstarted the ‘Serbian Living Legends’ program by the then-new national airline Air Serbia in 2013, where the company named its fleet after the country’s most famous personalities....

The grand slam winner bumped into actor Gerard Butler after his big win. Butler, as you’ll remember, was the star of the movie “300,” where he played Leonidas, the king of Sparta. In one of the blockbuster film’s most memorable moments, Butler yells “This is Sparta!” before taking out a messenger.

In a recent post on Steam, followed by the aforementioned update, Rust will now feature military desert base monuments, each of which has a Multiple Launch Rocket System, or MLRS. Players will be able to gain access to these monuments from numerous entrances, where they will be able to utilize the MLRS. Each will be able to fire 12 rockets, which can be countered with SAMs, but otherwise have the potential to cause untold damage....

Snapchat for Web Rolls Out to All Users Snapchat announced the rollout as part of its 15 September Fall feature update on the Snap newsroom. Rather than a standalone announcement, the full rollout of Snapchat for Web was introduced alongside features such as chat shortcuts and question stickers. The web version of the social media app was first announced in July 2022, but as an exclusive for Snapchat+ users. Considering Snapchat has been bolstering its premium offering, the full rollout of Snapchat for Web should be welcome news to users....

The rationale looks commendable. Publishers want to do their bit for Black History Month. But the results are disastrous. Black authors find themselves competing with other black authors as at no other time during the year. A lot of good books get lost in the flood, particularly the work of up-and-coming writers, who are always first to see their work published in February. Mainstream publishers, who used to argue that books by blacks or about blacks don’t sell, now defend the habit of corralling black books in February by saying that it’s the only time they can get bookstores, particularly the chains, to devote display space to these titles....

The statistic, while still far from the August 2019 total of 55,000, is a sore point for President Joe Biden’s pro-immigration allies, who hoped he would reverse former President Donald Trump’s strict approach. Biden campaigned on ending “prolonged” detention and use of private prisons for immigration detention, which still house the majority of detainees in ICE custody. “We’re at this really strange moment with him,” said Silky Shah, executive director of Detention Watch Network....

We really saw the worst of it, because the nurses never saw any of the victories. If the Army took a hill, we saw what was left over. I remember one boy who was brought in missing two legs and an arm, and his eyes were bandaged. A general came in later and pinned a Purple Heart on the boy’s hospital gown, and the horror of it all was so amazing that it just took my breath away....

Within the coming months, it’s possible that prices for both Nvidia and AMD products may start to come back down to normal levels. That’s according to the word from supply chains. Essentially, so these sources say, by the second half of this year, it looks as though people can start paying regular prices again, not just for graphics cards, but for CPUs, storage and other PC components as well....

While there has been no definite word from Nvidia yet, there is a possibility that the company may be looking to relaunch its GTX 1080 Ti GPU at some point. Speculations began to grow after a user on Twitter posted that someone managed to get hold of a 1080 Ti which had been manufactured in 2021. This is especially interesting because this model of graphics card is more than four years old at this stage....

Last March, the Italy international finished top of Goal’s 50-strong list (pictured above with his award) of the most exciting young players born on or after January 1, 1998, beating off stiff competition from Kylian Mbappe and Christian Pulisic for the prestigious prize. The cut-off date has obviously moved forward 12 months for this year’s edition, thus ruling both Mbappe and Pulisic out of the running. However, Donnarumma, who only turned 19 on February 25, is still eligible, giving him an excellent chance of retaining his crown....

To me, this wasn’t a bad week of action at all, in my opinion. The commentary in particular deserves a very special mention. As compared to the blandness of the main roster, the three men in the booth were animated and told a story across the packed hour. I did find five points of note during the hour and I shall detail them for you in this very article. Let me know your thoughts about this week’s action as well....

“You know, it’s a sad thing to have to say about a predecessor. But Rudy Giuliani has just come unhinged in every sense,” de Blasio said during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. The current New York City mayor further said of Giuliani: “He attached himself to Donald Trump, but then went even farther and decided to be one of the most extreme voices in the Trump world. And his regard for the law, he left way back on the road....

Roughly 23,000 people originally scheduled to receive their first vaccine doses later this week will no longer be able to do so, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio confirmed during a Wednesday press conference. Their appointments are postponed until the city acquires the necessary resources from the state, in addition to the federal partners handling the immunization rollout. “We’ve had to tell 23,000 New Yorkers who had an appointment this week that they will not be able to get that appointment for lack of supply,” the mayor said....
