just now (240+ words) Investing.com -- Algoma Steel Group Inc (NASDAQ:ASTL) stock tumbled 7.6% on Monday after Bloomberg reported that the Canadian steelmaker will lay off 1,000 employees and close its blast furnace in northern Ontario within months, citing losses from US tariffs. The Sault Ste. Marie-based company will also shut down its coke-making operation as it accelerates its transition to electric-arc furnace steelmaking by early 2026, a year ahead of schedule, according to a statement issued to Bloomberg. Algoma directly blamed the Trump administration's 50% tariffs on foreign steel for the drastic measures, stating these tariffs "have fundamentally altered the competitive landscape and sharply limited our ability to access the US market." The company reported a 13% drop in sales during the third quarter, with direct tariff expenses reaching C$89.7 million. Algoma described the US steel market as "largely closed to us," prompting the Canadian and Ontario…...

just now (342+ words) Majority transfer of MRINetwork to franchise-owner leaders retains strategic support from HireQuest and targets growth beginning Q1 2026. The transaction hands operational control to experienced franchise owners while HireQuest keeps partial ownership and shared services. This structure aligns day-to-day leadership with those who run offices and preserves corporate scale benefits such as purchasing, technology, training and back-office support. Key dependencies include a smooth closing of the deal in the coming weeks, clear contractual terms on shared services and governance, and effective cooperation between the new leadership group and HireQuest. Execution risk centers on transitioning responsibilities without disrupting client service or franchise economics. Concrete items to watch are the finalized ownership split and governance terms at close, the detailed shared-services agreement, and the rollout of the enhanced service model beginning Q1 2026. Expect initial operational indicators (franchise retention, client renewals, and new franchise recruitment signals)…...

just now (725+ words) For a few puzzles in this series, I opted to attempt solving them manually. That means I used some means other than writing a program to discover the correct answer. It's obviously not the intended way. But I loved the puzzle - and lacked the necessary computer science skills - so much that I felt joy nonetheless. This feels like another one of those puzzles, because: This one, unlike yesterday's puzzle, is worth attempting. The instructions play out this example keycode: 029A First, I must figure out the fewest moves to make the robot press those buttons: ^^AvvvA That's 12 commands. Four activate button presses. That's 28 commands. 12 activate button presses. Lastly, I must figure out the fewest moves to make the third robot execute each of those commands: >^AvAAA>^AvA^A^A^A>AAvA^AA>^AAAvAA That's over twice as many commands. 28 activate button…...

1+ min ago (969+ words) We've all been there. You have a Lo-Fi playlist on, a fresh coffee, and an LLM chat window open. You ask for a React component, you paste it, it works. This is Vibe Coding. The strategy is simple: "Prompt, Paste, and Pray." At my last company (YGG), we Vibe Coded our way to an MVP at breakneck speed and kept up with major business pivots that required constant rework. It felt like magic and we got it down 4x faster with less devs saving us 7 figures of costs. But when we prepared for launch, we hit a wall that "vibes" couldn't fix. We discovered that vibe coding can actually be vulnerability-as-a-service. We had an external security audit, and the report came back: 163 pages of vulnerabilities, including 15 rated Severe. Too name a few issues, we had SQL injection risks, SSRF threat vectors,…...
