Geneva, Switzerland — A radar image of a speed offender caught in central Switzerland last month revealed that the culprit was not only a duck, but likely a repeat offender, local authorities said.
Police in the town of Koniz, near the capital Bern, were astounded when they went through radar images snapped on April 13 to discover that a mallard was among those caught in the speed trap, the municipality said on its Facebook page at the weekend.
The duck was caught going 52 kilometres (32 miles) an hour in a 30-km zone, the post said. | |

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The sheriff in New Mexico’s most populous county is crediting his department’s drone program for helping disarm two children and prevent what could have been a worse outcome.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office recently released drone and body camera footage showing a tense standoff in February with two young brothers — ages 7 and 9. The deputies are heard repeatedly urging the boys to drop the gun.
“Put it down, baby,” one of them says as other deputies say they need to keep talking to the boys.
Deputies used a non-lethal round to distract the boys before moving in. At one point, Sheriff John Allen said one of the boys raised the gun and pulled the trigger, but it malfunctioned. | |

Taxpayers and charities helped develop Zolgensma. Then it debuted at a record price, ushering in a new class of wildly expensive drugs. Its story upends the widely held conception that high prices reflect huge industry investments in innovation. | |

Sam Altman is the guest for this weekend’s Lunch with the FT. Over pasta-infused garlic in his Napa Valley farmhouse, the OpenAI CEO discusses AI’s fearsome capabilities.
We were particularly taken by the accompanying video:
Like architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, FT Alphaville believes that close examination of details can reveal essential truths. And like the author Xavier de Maistre, we’re going to test our readers’ patience by grinding that conceit into dust.
Here are three things we found out about Altman based on repeated watching of 22 uncomfortable seconds of his cooking prep. | |

A recent study published in the journal Nature Climate Change has found that the richest 10 percent of the world population are responsible for an astonishing two-thirds of observable climate warming since 1990. Basically, that small minority of the wealthiest among us contribute nearly seven times as much to extreme climate change as the entire lower-earning 90 percent of the planet. | |
