Your order will be shipped and sold by Amazon, but unfortunately it won't arrive until mid-November.
Amazon's latest quarterly earnings report could answer one of Wall Street's biggest questions: Is the company cutting jobs because growth is stalling, or is the retail giant's big bet on AI making it more efficient?

Second scenario: The tech giant has become so great at artificial intelligence that its operations are becoming way more efficient, and it doesn't need as many employees now.

However, both of these companies have put up respectable growth rates that are often quicker than the broader market.
Brazil's Petrobras has been given permission to drill for oil near the mouth of the Amazon River, casting a shadow over the country's green ambitions as it prepares to host UN climate talks. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the president, has come under fire from conservationists who argue his oil expansion plans clash with his image as a global leader on climate change. Brazil will host Cop30 climate talks in the Amazon city of Belem next month.
Last fall, the house of Bezos announced a $500 million investment in SMR startup X-Energy. On Thursday, the e-tailer revealed that X-Energy's Xe-100 SMR designs would eventually supply Washington State with "up to" 960 megawatts of clean energy. "Eventually" is the key word here as construction isn't expected to start until the end of the decade and the plants won't begin operations until sometime in the 2030s.
This Second Bienal das Amazônias seems to understand its contradictions without attempting to resolve them. Curated by Manuela Moscoso together with Sara Garzón, Jean da Silva, and Mónica Amieva, the biennial unfolds around the idea of verde-distância ("green distance"), a notion borrowed from Benedicto Monteiro (1924-2008)-a Brazilian writer, journalist, and politician-that gestures toward the aliveness of the forest and its reverberation across bodies, landscapes, and times.
