*How We Lost Our Minds About UFOs*
Attention, ufologists: Nicholson Baker regrets to inform you that your entire movement is easily debunked by investigating Cold War history. At least he eviscerates your extraterrestrial dreams with good cheer and good writing. And he suggests that you bring some proof beyond grainy footage and anonymous sources. I never got into UFOs. I loved science fiction as a kid, enjoyed buglike space monsters as much as the next person, and in 1967 I read Bill Adler’s book Letters to the Air Force on UFOs with fascination and delight, but the actual documentary evidence on offer has always seemed poor. And the abduction stories, which reached a peak in the late ’80s, were just nuts. Not until recently, though, when I worked on a book about secret Cold War weapons research, did I begin to understand how the saucer madness got started. Read the story

*January 2024 saw the most layoffs in more than 10 years*
TheStreet's J.D. Durkin brings the latest business headlines from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as markets close for trading Thursday, February 1.Full Video Transcript Below: J.D. DURKIN: I’m J.D. Durkin - reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Here’s what we’re watching on TheStreet today. Stocks were in the green to close out today's session. The Dow closed up over 350 points, the Nasdaq closed up 1.3 percent, and the S&P closed 1.2 percent higher. This comes as investors continue to react to the Fed holding interest rates steady while indicating that a March rate cut would be unlikely. Markets are now pricing in a 38 percent chance of a rate cut in March. Separately, investors are looking ahead to the January jobs report out Friday. Wall Street is expecting the U.S. economy to have added 176,500 jobs last month, with the unemployment rate rising to 3.8 percent. In other news - we know that layoffs have been top of mind in the business world to start 2024, but now we know just how bad it's been. According to a new report by global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray, and Christmas - layoffs in January increased by 136 percent from the month prior. In total, 82,307 workers were let go by U.S.-based employers in the first month of the year, marking the highest number of January layoffs since 2009. In addition to questions around interest rates and 2024 being an election year, the report says these layoffs are also driven by "broader economic trends and a strategic shift towards increased automation and AI adoption in various sectors, though in most cases, companies point to cost-cutting as the main driver for layoffs." The financial sector saw more layoffs than any other industry with 23,238 workers laid off. That was followed by the tech sector with almost 16,000 layoffs, and the food production industry which had roughly 6,660 workers let go. When asked why employees were being laid off, restructuring was the number one response given by employers. And if you’re worried about AI coming for your job, keep in mind that artificial intelligence was blamed for less than one percent of the January layoffs. That’ll do it for your daily briefing. From the New York Stock Exchange, I’m J.D. Durkin with TheStreet.

Layoffs still at historic low despite recent headlines — but there's a catch
The headlines have been filed with layoffs aplenty. The media industry has felt the brunt of it as The Messenger's sudden shutdown on Wednesday added to a slew of layoffs since the beginning of the year that include the Los Angeles Times, Business Insider, and TechCrunch. Other industries have also had to deal with cutting their staff, including companies like Microsoft — which cut about 1,900 workers in Activision Blizzard and Xbox a week ago — and PayPal, which announced on Jan. 31 that it would be cutting about 9% of its staff. This uptick may explain the boost in claims for unemployment benefits which was at 224,000 for the week ending on Jan. 27, the highest its been in 11 weeks, and 9,000 more than the prior week, according to a report by the Associated Press. The AP also reported that the four-week rolling average for unemployment benefit claims is up over 5,000.Related: Jobs report preview: Fed rate cuts could rely on 'game changing' trend But a report from Bloomberg last week suggested that applicants for unemployment benefits may not be a proper barometer to measure the labor market largely because many job seekers may not qualify for benefits and therefore don't apply. However, the Bloomberg report came given historically low unemployment claims, whereas new data suggests that these rates are climbing. Even if it is seen as sign of a growing number of layoffs in the country, the caveat is that December layoffs were still recorded as some of the lowest in recent memory. The January data is expected by Friday, Feb. 2. Rubeela Farooqi, chief US economist at High Frequency Economics, told Bloomberg that despite what seems to be a barrage of layoffs, that isn't the case in the big picture — and there's a holding pattern that's positive for the general employee. “The data continue to show that layoffs are not mounting,” Farooqi told Bloomberg. "For now, an adjustment in labor market conditions is coming from a slowing in hiring rather than a surge in firings, which is welcome news."Related: Fed pushes back on spring cuts but holds rates steady at 5.25% to 5.5% Daniel Zhao, and economist and data scientist at Glassdoor, posted his thoughts on LinkedIn two days ago. "This seems to suggest a freeze in the job market where employers were hesitant to lay off workers but unwilling to commit to new hiring amid recession fears," Zhao wrote. "And that lower hiring demand means employees are sitting tight rather than looking for greener pastures." He also said that despite the headlines, he thinks the record low levels of layoffs will continue. "Note the scale here makes it unlikely recent layoffs in the headlines will significantly budge this figure when the January data comes out next month," Zhao wrote.Related: Veteran fund manager picks favorite stocks for 2024

*Tons of shoppers are ditching their Dysons for this bestselling Amazon vacuum that’s on sale for $85*
TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. Spring cleaning will be here before you know it, so if any of your machines are ready to retire, take this as your reminder to upgrade. Anyone in need of a new vacuum cleaner is in luck because Amazon is offering a special coupon to shoppers buying one of its bestselling models. Right now, the Eureka PowerSpeed Upright Vacuum Cleaner is available for just $85 as long as you apply Amazon’s on-page coupon before adding it to your cart. It’s ranked no. 1 in Amazon’s commercial indoor upright vacuum category and is backed by more than 10,700 five-star ratings from shoppers who swear by it. We understand that a low price point can sometimes be worrisome, but rest assured this corded vacuum delivers high-quality results. It works so well, several people went as far as to say they’re replacing their Dysons with this Eureka model, and one reviewer wrote, “we’ve had it for almost a year and it’s still kicking Dyson’s and Shark’s butts.” Eureka PowerSpeed Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner, $85 (was $100) at Amazon Courtesy of Amazon This vacuum cleaner uses a powerful motor to provide lots of suction along with a brush roller to pick up everything in its path including pet hair, crumbs, dirt, and debris. It offers five height adjustment settings, making it ideal for cleaning all types of surfaces from hard floors to plush carpets or rugs. Everything it sucks up goes through a washable and reusable filter, and is then collected inside the 2.6-liter dust cup that has a one-button empty function. That means you can dispose of any debris without getting your hands dirty. Along with the main machine, you’ll also receive an upholstery tool, crevice tool, and dusting brush that attach to the cleaning wand. These accessories allow you to clean hard-to-reach areas like baseboards, ceiling fans, and underneath furniture with ease. Not to mention it’ll also save you from having to bend over while cleaning, so no more back pain. It’s rare that a vacuum of this caliber is on sale for well under $100, so we aren’t shocked that it has thousands of rave reviews. One shopper said they’re “super happy with how much it pulled from all the carpets in just one use,” and added that they are “grossed out, but happy.” “When I say that I was both horrified and delighted at what this thing picked up in the first 15 seconds...Jeebus,” another reviewer wrote. “It picked up everything that every other machine has missed since [the] summer of 1994. I have carpet and an area rug and share a space with a cat, a shepherd, and a shepherd mix who all shed like they get paid to do it. This Eureka picked it all up in five minutes of vacuuming.” This is your chance to get a shopper-loved upright vacuum for $85, so make sure to grab one before the Amazon coupon expires.

*Taylor Swift effect on full display as FanDuel prepares for ‘biggest game in history of betting’*
The Super Bowl is always one of the biggest betting days of the year, and this year’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will be no different. Mike Raffensperger, the chief commercial officer at FanDuel, sat down with TheStreet to discuss what he expects to see in terms of sheer betting volume, as well as some of the more popular bets placed.Full Video Transcript Below: J.D. DURKIN: You may have heard there's a big football game a couple of weeks out. Talk to me about that. You're not familiar. I think it's called the Super bowl, a big, big football. It's the whole thing. I know Taylor Swift will be there. What is the, talk to me about some of the trends overall you're seeing in terms of either the types of wagers you're seeing or the new types of offerings that even first time fans will be able to take advantage of in the run up to the big game? MIKE RAFFENSPERGER: Well, I can confidently say it's going to be the biggest game in the history of betting likely globally, certainly in the United States. So just a little bit of context. We recently had the conference championships where the 49ers and the Chiefs made their way into the Super Bowl that day. FanDuel took more handle, more betting than we did in the Super Bowl last year. And so in terms of anticipating in a couple of weeks what we expect to see Super Bowl, it will break all records, not just here in America, but really internationally for the amount of wagering taking place on one game. There really is nothing like the Super Bowl. You know, look, in terms of the wagers, you'll expect to see, we'll have over 600 different markets, meaning things that you can bet on. That's more than any other Sportsbook in America. Very popular one is who will score the first touchdown. And on that market, I can say the Swifty effect is in full run. Travis Kelce is the number one player picked score the first touchdown in just a couple of weeks here in the Super Bowl.

*An ‘absolutely perfect’ Amazon space heater has just been purchased over 40,000 times, and it only costs $24*
TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. We’re starting to approach the time of year when the temperature outside can vary wildly, meaning that our indoor temperatures might just do the same — and for that, space heaters can come in handy as a great alternative to having to turn on the heat for the entire house. One of Amazon’s most popular space heater picks, the Aikoper Space Heater, has just been purchased more than 40,000 times in the past month — yet it’s still just $24 after a 20% discount for Prime subscribers. This space heater has garnered a whopping 15,000 five-star ratings, with shoppers calling it “small but mighty.” It just needs an outlet to plug into, so it’s simple to set up and can follow you around the house as needed, whether you’re working in the office or kicking back by the TV. Aikoper Space heater, $24 (was $30) at Amazon Courtesy of Amazon Shoppers call this easy-to-use space heater “absolutely perfect” for heating up the individual rooms and smaller spaces in their homes, thanks to a user-friendly control panel and powerful-for-its-size output. One shopper, a self-described “always cold” person, says that her purchase has been perfect for heating a small room. Shoppers also really love the space heater’s safety features: They say that if it’s not sitting level it simply won’t run — and if it gets knocked over, or if any part of the machine shows signs of overheating, the shut-off feature “immediately” kicks on. It’ll save you money by not forcing you to turn on your central heating, too — one shopper, who is buying her third one, said that it “definitely helped save on our heating bill last winter and this year [as] well.” Plus, it can take those savings even further by reliably shutting off the heat once the air in the room surrounding it reaches the same temperature you’ve programmed on the dials. Instead of freezing the rest of the winter — or shivering through another evening of Netflix — get cozy by adding one (or two!) of these Aikoper Space Heaters to your carts.

*Comcast agrees to remove misleading brand name for Xfinity*
Comcast is waving the white flag in its battle to keep its misleading "Xfinity 10G Network" brand name after facing claims of alleged false advertising. After claiming that its Xfinity 10G Network service was “game-changing,” “self-healing” and “ultra-fast” by seemingly comparing it to 5G, Comcast faced a challenge from T-Mobile last year in February where it questioned those claims and brought forth the issue to the National Advertising Division (NAD) of BBB National Programs.Related: Comcast fights to keep its 'misleading' new name for Xfinity After the NAD did not find evidence that supported Comcast’s claim that the “Xfinity 10G Network” is superior to 5G, it recommended on Oct. 12 that Comcast should discontinue its 10G claims and “use ‘10G’ in a manner that is not false or misleading.” In response to that decision, Comcast filed an appeal. Now, Comcast has lost the appeal as the National Advertising Review Board (NARB) of BBB National Programs agreed with the NAD’s recommendation in a Jan. 31 ruling after Verizon also challenged Comcast’s “10G” claims. “The NARB panel concluded that 10G expressly communicates at a minimum that users of the Xfinity network will experience significantly faster speeds than are available on 5G networks,” said the NARB in its decision. “This express claim is not supported because the record does not contain any data comparing speeds experienced by Xfinity network users with speeds experienced by subscribers to 5G networks.” Vadnais Heights, Minn., Xfinity store in local mall. UCG/Getty Images The NARB panel determined that Comcast should discontinue using the term 10G “when used in the name of the service itself (“Xfinity 10G Network”) as well as when used to describe the Xfinity network.” In response to the NARB’s decision, Comcast said that “although it strongly disagrees with NARB’s analysis and approach,” it will change its advertising to comply with the panel’s ruling. 10G internet could easily be confused by consumers as an upgrade from 5G when both are very different. 5G stands for 5th generation, and 10G stands for 10 gigabits per second. 5G only relates to cellular network connection, and 10G and is only offered for home internet service. 5G is also faster than 10G as it offers faster downloading speeds.Related: Veteran fund manager picks favorite stocks for 2024

Sephora faces backlash for giving workers a 'stale' reward for hard work
Sephora is being put on blast by its employees and users on social media for giving its workers a “stale” reward for their hard work that resulted in the company making billions of dollars. The beauty retail company decided to celebrate reaching $10 billion in sales in 2023 by allegedley giving its employees a box of what appears to be sugar cookies, according to a recent Reddit post. “20 cookies for an entire team. The audacity of this company,” wrote the redditor in their post. Related: Sephora has revoked a privilege that customers once loved The cookies appear to be wrapped individually with stickers that say “We did it!” placed on top of them. In a card to employees placed inside the box of cookies, the company claims that it is “thrilled” that it reached $10 billion in sales, and claims that “multiple Sephora records were shattered,” and it couldn’t be reached without “the dedication and efforts of all employees.” In a comment under the post, a redditor claims that the cookies were “stale.” “ten BILLION...and they give us stale cookies,” wrote the user. Sephora also warns employees in the card to not share any information that was provided in it "externally." "The content of this card is confidential and should not be shared externally as it is a violation of our company policies," read the card. Many users on social media platform X also put Sephora under fire for its edible gift to employees saying that the company instead should have trickled down some of those earnings to its workers after they made the company billions of dollars in sales.This is a slap in the face of all Sephora employees— @desilady (@uzmab) January 26, 2024 If "we" did it, "we" should get equal share of the profits— Artax, his neck muddy (@Dynystlunod) January 26, 2024 Pretty thin ass looking cookie too— The Monocle Debacle (@NotADebacle) January 26, 2024 According to a recent estimate from Glassdoor, the pay range of a sales associate at Sephora in the United States is between $14 to $19 an hour, with an average median hourly wage of $16. LVMH (LVMHF) - Get Free Report, which owns Sephora, recently reported in its fourth-quarter earnings for 2023 that Sephora had “exceptional performance.” It reported that its Selective Retailing business group, which includes Sephora, had an organic revenue growth of 25% in 2023 and profit from recurring operations increased by 76%.

Fairchild Archive/Getty Images LVMH also revealed in the report that it made €86.2 billion ($93.6 billion) in revenue for 2023, which is a 13% increase from what it made in 2022. It is no surprise that Sephora has seen an increase in sales as it has recently been trending on TikTok for being popular amongst tweens who have been flooding its stores to purchase items such as high-end skincare and makeup products. Sephora did not immediately respond to TheStreet's request for comment.Related: Veteran fund manager picks favorite stocks for 2024

Tons of shoppers are ditching their Dysons for this bestselling Amazon vacuum that’s on sale for $85
TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. Spring cleaning will be here before you know it, so if any of your machines are ready to retire, take this as your reminder to upgrade. Anyone in need of a new vacuum cleaner is in luck because Amazon is offering a special coupon to shoppers buying one of its bestselling models. Right now, the Eureka PowerSpeed Upright Vacuum Cleaner is available for just $85 as long as you apply Amazon’s on-page coupon before adding it to your cart. It’s ranked no. 1 in Amazon’s commercial indoor upright vacuum category and is backed by more than 10,700 five-star ratings from shoppers who swear by it. We understand that a low price point can sometimes be worrisome, but rest assured this corded vacuum delivers high-quality results. It works so well, several people went as far as to say they’re replacing their Dysons with this Eureka model, and one reviewer wrote, “we’ve had it for almost a year and it’s still kicking Dyson’s and Shark’s butts.” Eureka PowerSpeed Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner, $85 (was $100) at Amazon Courtesy of Amazon This vacuum cleaner uses a powerful motor to provide lots of suction along with a brush roller to pick up everything in its path including pet hair, crumbs, dirt, and debris. It offers five height adjustment settings, making it ideal for cleaning all types of surfaces from hard floors to plush carpets or rugs. Everything it sucks up goes through a washable and reusable filter, and is then collected inside the 2.6-liter dust cup that has a one-button empty function. That means you can dispose of any debris without getting your hands dirty. Along with the main machine, you’ll also receive an upholstery tool, crevice tool, and dusting brush that attach to the cleaning wand. These accessories allow you to clean hard-to-reach areas like baseboards, ceiling fans, and underneath furniture with ease. Not to mention it’ll also save you from having to bend over while cleaning, so no more back pain. It’s rare that a vacuum of this caliber is on sale for well under $100, so we aren’t shocked that it has thousands of rave reviews. One shopper said they’re “super happy with how much it pulled from all the carpets in just one use,” and added that they are “grossed out, but happy.” “When I say that I was both horrified and delighted at what this thing picked up in the first 15 seconds...Jeebus,” another reviewer wrote. “It picked up everything that every other machine has missed since the summer of 1994. I have carpet and an area rug and share a space with a cat, a shepherd, and a shepherd mix who all shed like they get paid to do it. This Eureka picked it all up in five minutes of vacuuming.” This is your chance to get a shopper-loved upright vacuum for $85, so make sure to grab one before the Amazon coupon expires.

Taylor Swift effect on full display as FanDuel prepares for ‘biggest game in history of betting’
The Super Bowl is always one of the biggest betting days of the year, and this year’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will be no different. Mike Raffensperger, the chief commercial officer at FanDuel, sat down with TheStreet to discuss what he expects to see in terms of sheer betting volume, as well as some of the more popular bets placed.Full Video Transcript Below: J.D. DURKIN: You may have heard there's a big football game a couple of weeks out. Talk to me about that. You're not familiar. I think it's called the Super bowl, a big, big football. It's the whole thing. I know Taylor Swift will be there. What is the, talk to me about some of the trends overall you're seeing in terms of either the types of wagers you're seeing or the new types of offerings that even first time fans will be able to take advantage of in the run up to the big game? MIKE RAFFENSPERGER: Well, I can confidently say it's going to be the biggest game in the history of betting likely globally, certainly in the United States. So just a little bit of context. We recently had the conference championships where the 49ers and the Chiefs made their way into the Super Bowl that day. FanDuel took more handle, more betting than we did in the Super Bowl last year. And so in terms of anticipating in a couple of weeks what we expect to see Super Bowl, it will break all records, not just here in America, but really internationally for the amount of wagering taking place on one game. There really is nothing like the Super Bowl. You know, look, in terms of the wagers, you'll expect to see, we'll have over 600 different markets, meaning things that you can bet on. That's more than any other Sportsbook in America. Very popular one is who will score the first touchdown. And on that market, I can say the Swifty effect is in full run. Travis Kelce is the number one player picked score the first touchdown in just a couple of weeks here in the Super Bowl.

An ‘absolutely perfect’ Amazon space heater has just been purchased over 40,000 times, and it only costs $24
TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. We’re starting to approach the time of year when the temperature outside can vary wildly, meaning that our indoor temperatures might just do the same — and for that, space heaters can come in handy as a great alternative to having to turn on the heat for the entire house. One of Amazon’s most popular space heater picks, the Aikoper Space Heater, has just been purchased more than 40,000 times in the past month — yet it’s still just $24 after a 20% discount for Prime subscribers. This space heater has garnered a whopping 15,000 five-star ratings, with shoppers calling it “small but mighty.” It just needs an outlet to plug into, so it’s simple to set up and can follow you around the house as needed, whether you’re working in the office or kicking back by the TV. Aikoper Space heater, $24 (was $30) at Amazon Courtesy of Amazon Shoppers call this easy-to-use space heater “absolutely perfect” for heating up the individual rooms and smaller spaces in their homes, thanks to a user-friendly control panel and powerful-for-its-size output. One shopper, a self-described “always cold” person, says that her purchase has been perfect for heating a small room. Shoppers also really love the space heater’s safety features: They say that if it’s not sitting level it simply won’t run — and if it gets knocked over, or if any part of the machine shows signs of overheating, the shut-off feature “immediately” kicks on. It’ll save you money by not forcing you to turn on your central heating, too — one shopper, who is buying her third one, said that it “definitely helped save on our heating bill last winter and this year as well.” Plus, it can take those savings even further by reliably shutting off the heat once the air in the room surrounding it reaches the same temperature you’ve programmed on the dials. Instead of freezing the rest of the winter — or shivering through another evening of Netflix — get cozy by adding one (or two!) of these Aikoper Space Heaters to your carts.

Comcast agrees to remove misleading brand name for Xfinity
Comcast is waving the white flag in its battle to keep its misleading "Xfinity 10G Network" brand name after facing claims of alleged false advertising. After claiming that its Xfinity 10G Network service was “game-changing,” “self-healing” and “ultra-fast” by seemingly comparing it to 5G, Comcast faced a challenge from T-Mobile last year in February where it questioned those claims and brought forth the issue to the National Advertising Division (NAD) of BBB National Programs.Related: Comcast fights to keep its 'misleading' new name for Xfinity After the NAD did not find evidence that supported Comcast’s claim that the “Xfinity 10G Network” is superior to 5G, it recommended on Oct. 12 that Comcast should discontinue its 10G claims and “use ‘10G’ in a manner that is not false or misleading.” In response to that decision, Comcast filed an appeal. Now, Comcast has lost the appeal as the National Advertising Review Board (NARB) of BBB National Programs agreed with the NAD’s recommendation in a Jan. 31 ruling after Verizon also challenged Comcast’s “10G” claims. “The NARB panel concluded that 10G expressly communicates at a minimum that users of the Xfinity network will experience significantly faster speeds than are available on 5G networks,” said the NARB in its decision. “This express claim is not supported because the record does not contain any data comparing speeds experienced by Xfinity network users with speeds experienced by subscribers to 5G networks.” Vadnais Heights, Minn., Xfinity store in local mall. UCG/Getty Images The NARB panel determined that Comcast should discontinue using the term 10G “when used in the name of the service itself (“Xfinity 10G Network”) as well as when used to describe the Xfinity network.” In response to the NARB’s decision, Comcast said that “although it strongly disagrees with NARB’s analysis and approach,” it will change its advertising to comply with the panel’s ruling. 10G internet could easily be confused by consumers as an upgrade from 5G when both are very different. 5G stands for 5th generation, and 10G stands for 10 gigabits per second. 5G only relates to cellular network connection, and 10G and is only offered for home internet service. 5G is also faster than 10G as it offers faster downloading speeds.Related: Veteran fund manager picks favorite stocks for 2024
