@DeniseGutzmer The big one out front? Who in the world?
@mccroden I need to get into some fiction. My habit of buying stuff like "The Reactionary Mind" and reading a chapter and a half before getting terrified needs to end.

I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.

Clearview AI scraped 30 billion images from Facebook to share with police

Law enforcement officers have used Clearview AI's facial recognition database nearly a million times, Hoan Ton-That, the company's CEO, told the BBC.

Is this place cool now? I think the other place is going to hell.
If you're trying to find a "creative" worker like a graphic artist or web designer and are having trouble, consider paying someone for a few months without asking them to do any actual projects. You won't make any money out of it, but it will be good exposure and show your potential employee what a good employer you might be one day.
Look, companies that are having a hard time finding staff need to realize that in this economy, looking for workers is a full-time job. You can't just post an ad on Indeed and call it quits. You've got to be out there all day everyday working the phones, working your network. Make an impression by sending thank you notes to candidates who grant you an interview. And always remember: if you keep at it every day and never give up, you will eventually find a worker. You can do it!

Twitter just suspended the account for Washington D.C.'s public transit system, maybe for posting the buses' real-time assassination coordinates

Twitter temporarily bans account for D.C.-area bus system without explanation

The social media app suspended the @metrobusinfo account on Tuesday for about six hours and gave Metro transit officials no explanation why.
