As someone who covers manufactured outrage campaigns for a living, journalists desperately need to learn how to properly cover these campaigns.
These grafs in NYT don’t give nearly enough context to who Chris Rufo is, or his agenda/track record. Quoting ppl like Rufo as neutral/honest actors is a huge mistake not only bc it launders their abusive, ideologically driven campaigns to mainstream liberals, but also bc it leaves readers less informed abt the motivations behind these attacks.

David Graeber was right about BS jobs, says Max Murphy. Basically, our economy is bifurcating into two kinds of jobs: "essential" jobs that, despite being "essential", are lowly paid and unappreciated, and "BS" (I'm just going to abbreviate) jobs that are highly paid but accomplish nothing useful for anybody. The surprise, perhaps, is that these BS jobs, despite being well paid, are genuinely soul-crushing.
My question, though, is how much of this is due to technological advancement, and will the continued advancement of technology (AI etc) increase the ratio of BS jobs to essential jobs further in favor of the BS jobs?

Business in the US is pretty efficient, so businesses are motivated to avoid wasting money on BS jobs.
Hmm are you sure about that? Ok first I will concede there are many businesses for which that is true -- they face stiff competition and have become very efficient.
However, there are "de-facto monopoly" businesses that have bucket tons of money coming in all the time, and they don't have to be efficient. And then there's government jobs -- they don't have any competition and don't have to be efficient. (Is it not the case that government as a percentage of overall employment has been a monotonically increasing function for a hundred years or somesuch?) And there's the intersection of the two -- all the jobs in corporations that exist only to jump though government hoops, and not to provide any benefit in terms of product or service.
"Humane AI Pin review: A $700 gamble," says David Pierce (Vergecast). The hardware is pretty good but the AI slow enough and error-prone enough to be frustrating.
I guess the dream of the "linguistic user interface" is not here yet.

EndeavourOS Devs Say "Goodbye" to Their ARM Branch, Maintainers Needed
EndeavourOS Devs Say "Goodbye" to Their ARM Branch, Maintainers Needed - 9to5Linux
EndeavourOS ARM branch is in danger of going away forever due to lack of maintainers and the lack of recent changes in upstream Arch Linux ARMMarius Nestor (9to5Linux)
The main issue is that they are based, and likely re-use most of the packages, on Arch Linux ARM, which has been going down hill for a while when it comes to maintenance of their repositories.
I think Manjaro ARM suffers from the same thing, as they haven't had a new release since I left over a year ago.

L'inchiesta di Nicky Hager sul sistema di spionaggio ospitato dal Government Communications Security Bureau della Nuova Zelanda

Nicky Hager on spy system hosted by GCSB
Investigative journalist Nicky Hager says a decade old leaked US intelligence document points to the identity of the foreign intelligence equipment hosted by the GSCB without the knowledge of politicians.RNZ
La settimana scorsa, l’ispettore generale dell’intelligence e della sicurezza ha rivelato che un’agenzia straniera ha condotto un’operazione di spionaggio in Nuova Zelanda per quasi un decennio, senza che i ministri lo sapessero.
Nicky Hager, che era membro del gruppo di riferimento dell'ispettore generale per l'intelligence e la sicurezza, ha utilizzato le informazioni trapelate da Edward Snowden per identificare le misteriose apparecchiature di intelligence.
In un articolo di commento pubblicato venerdì mattina sul sito web della RNZ, Hagar afferma che i documenti indicano l'uso di un sistema chiamato #APPARITION che doveva essere installato nella base nel giugno 2012, la stessa data delle apparecchiature di intelligence straniere discusse nel rapporto dell'ispettore generale. rapporto Nicky Hager afferma che APPARITION raccoglie dati sulla posizione per le operazioni di cattura-uccisione.

Yes. I agree with you. I didn't appreciate different taste in music at the time, but I do now. 😊
There is so much interesting music from the different eras that has brought me much joy.
However, there is still music I either don't fully understand & also something that is not at all my taste, despite my open mind..

As if this must be the official way of state communication 🤷 Probably he first connected to Israeli officials through a non public way.
