☆ Give Journalists What They Need To Hold Big Tech Accountable - The New York Times
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-14 | by ( Julia Angwin | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

The traditional gatekeepers of knowledge — librarians, journalists and government officials — have largely been replaced by technological gatekeepers — search engines, artificial intelligence chatbots and social media feeds. Whatever their flaws, the old gatekeepers were, at least on paper, beholden to the public. The reforms also require large tech platforms to audit their algorithms to determine how they affect democracy, human rights and the physical and mental health of minors and other users. To hold them accountable, the law also requires large tech platforms like Facebook and Twitter to provide researchers with access to real-time data from their platforms. But there is a crucial element that has yet to be decided by the European Union: whether journalists will get access to any of that data.

☆ What are solid-fuel missiles, and why is North Korea developing them?
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( Hyonhee Shin | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

Here are some characteristics of solid-fuel technology, and how it can help the North improve its missile systems. WHAT IS SOLID-FUEL TECHNOLOGY? North Korea uses solid fuel in a range of small, shorter-range ballistic missiles. South Korea has also said it has secured "efficient and advanced" solid-propellant ballistic missile technology, though in much smaller rockets so far. North Korea said the development of its new solid-fuel ICBM, the Hwasong-18, would "radically promote" its nuclear counterattack capability.

☆ Don’t Be Fooled by the Fake Uproar Over Woke Capitalism - The New York Times
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-12 | by ( Lydia Polgreen | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +3 min

Netflix, the once unstoppable juggernaut that seemed likely to eat Hollywood for breakfast, is an interesting case in point. As its growth has slowed and the political climate has changed, it reportedly shelved a plan to produce an anti-racist video series. Our systems of government increasingly favor electoral minorities — like gerrymandered state legislatures in a polarized environment — rather than common-sense compromise. rights, we are tilting ever more toward a system that allows a fanatical minority to impose its views as law. But woke capitalism is a paper tiger.

☆ The Gen Zer who helped spark the quiet-quitting trend ended up leaving his job after all. He blames bad managers for a generation of disengaged employees.

After quiet quitting at his job for six months, he realized it wasn't the answer for him. He said quiet quitting had its downsides and that managers are to blame for disengaged employees. The 17-second video, in which Khan describes quiet quitting as not quitting your job, but "quitting the idea of going above and beyond" — went viral. It has been widely credited for making quiet quitting into the phenomenon it's become. But after trying quiet quitting for six months, and then actually quitting his job, Khan reflected, and said that for him personally, quiet quitting isn't the answer.

Douglas Ordonez and Dominique Adams were mistakenly charged nearly $30,000 for an Uber due to a currency conversion error. Then I checked my bank account and that's when I saw the 29,000 US dollar charge," he told Insider. Ordonez and Adams say they usually charge Uber rides to their credit cards, but charged this ride to their debit card by accident. Altura Credit Union and Uber did not immediately respond to requests for comment for this story. The couple say it's unclear whether Altura Credit Union or Uber resolved the matter because they say their communications with both were patchy.

In important ways the New York contemporary art world was a much bigger place three decades ago than it is today, not in size but in its thinking. The first institutional solo show of the artist Edgar Calel, titled “B’alab’äj (Jaguar Stone),” is a reminder of this. Obliquely, poetically, Calel refers to Mayan views of the earth as a dynamic, responsive, sacred being. (Sections of molded soil spell out the syllable “tik,” the sound he remembers his grandmother making to call wild birds for feeding.) The resulting SculptureCenter piece, beautiful to see, isn’t a “religious” work in any narrow sense.

While the original Fitbit Sense had a small touch-sensitive haptic button on the left-hand side of the watch, Fitbit added a physical button to the Fitbit Sense 2, which is easier to operate, especially during workouts.

☆ Opinion | Better Government in New York Depends on Higher Voter Turnout

Mr. Adams, who is not the first New York politician to lose it with a voter, is up for re-election in 2025. “You have a government that is walled off from the concerns of the people,” Susan Lerner, the executive director of the good government group Common Cause New York, told me. Increasing turnout in primaries may be one of the best ways to get better, more responsive government. One promising bill passed by both legislative chambers in June would shift many local elections to even-numbered years. Some incumbents in New York, unsurprisingly, seem to enjoy things just as they are, and have opposed the shift to even years.

Experts that CNBC Make It spoke to said they've observed a "significant increase" in the number of job seekers facing an extended interview process over the past year. That makes a total of 9 interviews, for a job that 32-year-old Ayomi Samaraweera said she did not eventually get. But the growing phenomenon of lengthy interviews reflects the highly competitive nature of the current job market, he added. "That's why recruiters are haphazardly adding steps to the interview process and it's a terrible candidate experience." "How a company presents itself during the interview process is very telling about the company culture as a whole," she added.

Richard Marles, on his first visit to the Solomon Islands as defence minister, was also expected to meet members of the Solomon Islands International Assistance Force, which includes Australian police deployed in 2021 at Sogavare's request to quell anti-government riots. Marles, in comments before he arrived in the capital, Honiara, said Australia's partnership with Solomon Islands was "more important than ever". Australia is a major aid donor and has a decades-long security relationship with the Solomon Islands. Chinese police have taken an increasing role in training and equipping the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force in recent months, the force has indicated in statements. Solomon officials said Marles would meet Sogavare after a meeting with Foreign Minister Jeremiah Manele.

CNN —Home prices rose in April for a third consecutive month, according to the latest S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller US National Home Price Index released Tuesday.

Before seasonal adjustments, the national index rose 1.3% from March. “The US housing market continued to strengthen in April 2023,” said Craig Lazzara, managing director at S&P DJI. Low inventory is keeping prices strongAlthough mortgage rates have risen since last year, prices remain strong in part because there are fewer options available for those who can still afford to buy.

The most explosive season of Bravo's "Vanderpump Rules" ended last week. The world of "Vanderpump Rules" was rocked in March when longtime cast member Ariana Madix discovered her partner of nine years, Tom Sandoval, had been having an affair with one of her close friends, Raquel Leviss. One Bravo-focused account seized the #Scandoval moment and gained 44,000 Instagram followersBravo by Betches, an Instagram account devoted to all things Bravo from Betches Media, had its biggest growth month ever during March. While growth has slowed since peak #Scandoval, the women's media company has managed to sustain some of the Vanderpump bump. Before #Scandoval, the audience for "Vanderpump Rules" had been waning and Bravo by Betches wasn't posting about the show as much.

"My baseline is that we should stay at this level for the rest of the year," and not cut rates until the latter half of 2024, Bostic said in an interview on Yahoo Finance. "Letting restrictive policy work for a while is prudent because the policy has been truly restrictive for less than a year, and it takes time for monetary policy changes to meaningfully influence economic activity. Bostic is the first official to say explicitly that may be too soon. Therefore, the real economic effects of tighter monetary policy are only just beginning to take hold," Bostic said. The risk of waiting is that inflation may resurge, but "that is not my baseline."

But the bots using ChatGPT began to rapidly improve, and SirPugger realized the automated players would soon become almost indistinguishable from human players. In some cases, these AI-powered bots seemed to commiserate with real players, even complaining about the overabundance of bots. At the same time, bot scripts could eventually enhance rather than detract from the social aspects of online games. Online shooters like "PUBG" and "Fortnite" already populate their multiplayer lobbies with AI bots, but the social emphasis of MMOs means that they are uniquely well positioned to reap the prospective benefits of chatbot integration. Worlds would appear to become more populous, and though "real" players might still be cheated out of leaderboard slots, they wouldn't necessarily know it.
