The Florida native was a graduate from Rutgers University, where he received a master's degree in city and regional planning in 2012, friends said. He was rushed to a nearby hospital's burn unit where died just before 11 pm, sources familiar with the matter added Friday night - hours after was seen throwing a stack of pamphlets that included a link to his conspiracy-laden Substack seconds before igniting.

But here's how the world's rich are preparing for the worst and how the rest of us can get our 'doomsday prepping' done on a budget

A Missouri hideaway is providing a cost-friendly alternative to the world's end at a time when the new billionaire trend is kitting out doomsday bunkers. The underground shelter, which was originally constructed for $34 million, has gone on sale for just $2 million and comes with a number of features that will give the a sense of luxury to the apocalypse. Though the outside appears to be little more than a massive shed, the new owners will find a large 10,000-square-foot modern space with a gymnasium, recording studio, theater room, and glass blowing alley.

According to billionaire Peter Thiel, we live in a strange postmodern world in which the average person does not believe the lies they are told, but we are failing to concentrate on the 'important stuff.' We're in this strange postmodern era,' the venture capitalist said. People are generally skeptic, according to me. They're being told lies by a large percentage. However, it has this effect: we can't seem to be focusing on the really important stuff.' So it's like this hypnotic magic trick. The key thing isn't what the magician is doing, but what the magician is distracting us from.'

Palantir (left) will launch a 'federated data platform' (FDP) to link IT services in England's health and social care trusts. It would effectively join up patient data between hospitals, according to health officials, who claim that it will improve care, reduce wait times, and speed up diagnosis, thus making the process more effective. However, the software company has close links with intelligence agencies and military organizations around the world. It has supplied software to the US Army and supported Ukrainian armed forces combating Russia. If patient records are mishandled, data analysts, senior politicians, and NHS medics have warned that if the transaction'undermine public confidence.' Others were worried that patients would not be able to opt out of their information being published through the FDP. Palantir was co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel (bottom right) who is still the company's chair and a key backer of former US President Donald Trump, led by chief executive Alex Karp (top right).

According to Brockman, Sutskever fired Altman in a video chat on Friday, and then told Brockman that he would be ousted as president, but that he should keep acting as president, referring to new interim CEO Mira Murati.

Anyone who has ever had to navigate the NHS as a patient or carer would no doubt understand the agony and terror that this massive organization has caused. Your medical records are inaccurate, or you weren't aware of it; clinics use phone numbers and addresses from years ago; physicians are still struggling with new technologies and addresses. Or clinicians don't appear to worry about the outcomes of previous consultations with other care teams. But could the NHS's left hand finally soon know what its right hand is doing? NHS England will enter a £480 million deal to develop a master data-control system, linking up all the computer systems used across hospitals, GP practices, and admin departments so they can'talk' to each other early next month.

According to DailyMail.com, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has fired back at a former employee who said she was wrongly booted out of his top position after raising questions about sexual abuse and suspected illegal conduct at his company and demanding that his appeal be dismissed. Joyce Rosely, 53, was suspended from her position as executive vice president of 'anti-woke' Ohio-based firm Strive Asset Management, where Ramaswamy had been chairman before stepping down to pursue his presidential campaign in February.

According to the report, a typical homeowner can expect to spend 79.92 percent of their monthly income on ownership, placing Los Angeles, California, in second place and Newark, New Jersey, in third.

As the result of his $250,000-per-year anti-aging regime, tech billionaire Bryan Johnson (left), 45, says he now has the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the endurance of an 18-year-old. Although some believe he looks scary, critics have likened Patrick Bateman, the self-obsessed serial killer in Bret Easton Ellis' book American Psycho, a vampire, and even an elf, the eccentric man opposite me radiates warmth and love. When I ask Bryan, if he gets upset when people brand him a 'narcissist,' or suggest that a shrink be added to his long list of physicians, he laughs. He says, 'I honestly have never felt happier or more secure,' sitting cross-legged on his couch in his opulent, modernist £9 million mansion in Venice Beach, California, 'I honestly have never felt happier or more secure.'
