    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" Crows seem to exist in the city in a way that doesn’t depend on us at all. We could die out tomorrow for all they care. They’ve mapped out their own inscrutable topography onto the space that we’ve created, and theirs works. Human beings shape their environments precisely according to their wishes and find themselves alienated by the result; the crows move in, and are perfectly at ease with themselves. 

" Crows are smart, far too smart for comfort. They make their own tools, they can recognise individual human faces, they can use language and even have grammar. 

" The crows are waiting: after the whole human experiment inevitably fails, the crows will be ready to retake the world. And it will be a recapture. 

" Other birds preen and warble and fly in whimsical little bursts; the crows never let you forget their dinosaurian ancestry. It’s there in the sadistic tilt of their heads and the cold of their cry. Their intelligence is entirely different from ours: an oviparous, cloacal intelligence without Oedipus or metaphor. 

" The solidarity of crows is conspiratorial. They’re raptors living loose in our streets. Maybe that’s why people fear crows so much. Something very old in the deep core of our brains remembers that long hot summer of terror seventy million years ago, when we hid in our tiny burrows and the giant crows roamed the surface of the earth.

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" Most days, the trucker would drive more than 16 hours straight hauling LG dishwashers and Kumho tires to warehouses around Los Angeles, on their way to retail stores nationwide.

" He rarely went home to his family. At night, he crawled into the back of his cab and slept in the company parking lot.

" For all of that, he took home as little as 67 cents a week.

" Then, in October 2013, the truck he leased from his employer, QTS, broke down.

" When Talavera could not afford repairs, the company fired him and seized the truck -- along with $78,000 he had paid towards owning it.

" Talavera was a modern-day indentured servant. And there are hundreds, likely thousands more, still on the road, hauling containers for trucking companies that move goods for America’s most beloved retailers, from Costco to Target to Home Depot. "]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" Congress has already taken a major step to advance these goals in the 21st Century Cures Act. Expanding upon policies advanced by FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the Act revised FDA’s governing statute to, among other things, make clear that certain digital health technologies—such as clinical administrative support software and mobile apps that are intended only for maintaining or encouraging a healthy lifestyle—generally fall outside the scope of FDA regulation. Such technologies tend to pose low risk to patients but can provide great value to the health care system. FDA, led by CDRH, is working to implement the digital health provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act and, in the coming months, will be publishing guidance to further clarify what falls outside the scope of FDA regulation and to explain how the new statutory provisions affect pre-existing FDA policies.

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" Yet within the bounds of his unbroken civility, Insel began voicing something between a regret and an indictment. In writings and public talks, he lamented the pharmaceutical industry’s failure to develop effective new drugs for depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia; academic psychiatry’s overly cozy relationship with Big Pharma; and the paucity of treatments produced by the billions of dollars the NIMH had spent during his tenure. He blogged about the failure of psychiatry’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to provide a productive theoretical basis for research, then had the NIMH ditch the DSM altogether—a decision that roiled the psychiatric establishment. Perhaps most startling, he began opening public talks by showing charts that revealed psychiatry as an underachieving laggard: While medical advances in the previous half century had reduced mortality rates from childhood leukemia, heart disease, and aids by 50 percent or more, they had failed to reduce suicide or disability from depression or schizophrenia.

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" In this regard, we have compiled a short cheat sheet of the most prominent think tanks known to receive significant funding from Gulf states, or who have an international office in one of them. The list is by no means exhaustive and is it is largely based on self-disclosure by the think tanks. That a think tank receives financial patronage from a Gulf state does not automatically mean that all of its researchers are necessarily biased in favor of the patron, as there certainly are cases of researchers with a track record of independence and integrity. However, when the analysis of a think tank aligns with the views or interests of its financial patron, it should raise questions about whether the line between independent research and political lobbying or PR is being blurred.

If the data you get back isn’t actually useful input to the decision you need to make or if it doesn’t reflect reality, that is a bad survey. This could happen if respondents didn’t give true answers, or if the questions are impossible to answer truthfully, or if the questions don’t map to the information you need, or if you ask leading or confusing questions.

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" In the early ’80s, Charles Peters, the editor of the Washington Monthly, helped usher in the new flavor of the word, as well as its reception from the left, with his aggressive “A Neo-Liberal’s Manifesto.” Those New Republic writers also brandished their self-appellation as neoliberals, in contrast to the mockingly termed paleoliberals. It furthered the sense of neoliberals as conservatives in sheep's clothing that they also opposed the basic liberal position on race issues—Bill Clinton’s welfare-reform policy, for example, was an outgrowth of neoliberal positions established in the 1980s, heartily espoused by, for example, The New Republic. Overtones, then, took effect—for liberals, “neoliberal” quickly took on the heartless, Hooverian odor that “conservative” already had. "]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" Our world is made of information that competes for our attention. What is needed? What is not? We cannot interact with our everyday life in the same way we interact with a desktop computer. The terms ‘calm computing’ and ‘calm technology’ were coined in 1995 by PARC Researchers Mark Weiser and John Seely Brown in reaction to the increasing complexities that information technologies were creating. Calm technology describes a state of technological maturity where a user’s primary task is not computing, but being human. The idea behind Calm Technology is to have smarter people, not things. Technology shouldn’t require all of our attention, just some of it, and only when necessary.

" How can our devices take advantage of location, proximity and haptics to help improve our lives instead of get in the way? How can designers can make apps “ambient” while respecting privacy and security? This talk will cover how to use principles of Calm Technology to design the next generation of connected devices. We’ll look at notification styles, compressing information into other senses, and designing for the least amount of cognitive overhead. "]]></description>

Whether intentional or not, this “laundering” of human prejudice through computer algorithms can make those biases appear to be justified objectively.

" A recent case in point is Xiaolin Wu and Xi Zhang’s paper, “Automated Inference on Criminality Using Face Images”, submitted to arXiv (a popular online repository for physics and machine learning researchers) in November 2016. Wu and Zhang’s claim is that machine learning techniques can predict the likelihood that a person is a convicted criminal with nearly 90% accuracy using nothing but a driver’s license-style face photo. Although the paper was not peer-reviewed, its provocative findings generated a range of press coverage. "]]></description>

The birds came to anticipate this backyard tasting menu; they’d line up on telephone lines like patrons at a high-profile restaurant opening. 

" Gabi’s mom, Lisa Mann, had read Gifts of the Crow and was moved to enroll in a class its coauthor was teaching at UW. Plus, her daughter had something to show Professor Marzluff: dozens of trinkets the birds had left Gabi.

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" The numbers and colors shown in PURE scores represent friction, the opposite of ease of use. The higher the number and the “hotter” the colors, the more friction there is — similar to usability-severity ratings. Comparing the PURE scorecard for the same task across different product versions or among competitors allows you to easily see the variation in friction for different designs of the task.  Although lower numbers usually mean less friction, the quality of the steps should also be considered, as indicated by their colors. One of the big benefits of PURE is that it considers overall user effort, rather than just clicks or steps. This can help counter overly simplistic arguments that fewer clicks will result in higher levels of success, and instead refocus attention on reducing user effort, rather than just clicks. (Note that you should generally avoid comparing the PURE scores of different tasks, since their nature and goals are often quite different. ) "]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" With the exception of Lester, all Kirk’s relationships that we’re aware of seem to have ended amicably. He and the women involved have often kept up communication to some extent, despite the impediments caused by interstellar travel (Wallace, Marcus). The relationships all seem to have been of some duration, and characterised by fairly serious involvement on both parts. They were distinctly emotional affairs, and no one accuses Kirk of having “womanised” during them. They all involved competent people drawn to demanding, intellectually stimulating fields—usually science—and the service of something greater than themselves—almost universally Starfleet. "

...

" Rash? Kirk is obsessively protective, hesitant to destroy the Enterprise and its crew even when it would be safer for the galaxy for him to do so (“By Any Other Name”). This is in fact about the only time he’s “rash”. He makes an objectively bad decision in order to protect the ship. It’s not a lapse he often repeats, and he almost didn’t allow sentiment to cloud his judgment on this occasion either.

" It works out in the end due to Kirk’s cunning, not Spock’s genius. As clever as Spock is, he’s not the superior multi-tasking problem solver. That’s the whole point of Kirk, and Spock respects him and his work. In “The Ultimate Computer,” when technological innovation threatens to replace living captains (Kirk included), Spock is immensely supportive of Kirk. He highlights Kirk’s leadership, suggesting that he, Spock-the-computer-expert, trusts Kirk’s personal judgment more than that of even the most advanced machines:"

...

" The difference between “please, help me” and “let me help” is fairly dramatic. In Fry’s mismemory, Kirk seems almost to ghoulishly relish this cry for salvation, this opportunity to exercise his own benevolent power over someone in peril. In the actual quote, Kirk cites a novel we’ve not yet read, and the phrase itself is not a ventriloquised cry of need but a personal offer to serve.

" That “let” always strikes me. “Please allow me to do this for you: grant me permission, allow me to see your vulnerability and to aid you.” It’s an acknowledgement of the agency and dignity of the person who might need assistance, a plea for closeness and disclosure. The assistance becomes mutually elevating: the largess of allowing, the privilege of assisting. Not the dreaded declaration of love, but a demonstration of it: a love that has the potential to be more wide-reaching and yet more intricately fine than the collapsed mess of compulsory hyper-heterosexuality.

That is, in the 2020s, the world cuts emissions in half. Then we do it again in the 2030s. Then we do it again in the 2040s. They dub this a “carbon law.” Lead author Johan Rockström told me they were thinking of an analogy to Moore’s law for transistors; we’ll see why.

" 2) Net emissions from land use — i.e., from agriculture and deforestation — have to fall steadily to zero by 2050. This would need to happen even as the world population grows and we’re feeding ever more people.

" 3) Technologies to suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere have to start scaling up massively, until we’re artificially pulling 5 gigatons of CO2 per year out of the atmosphere by 2050 — nearly double what all the world’s trees and soils already do. "]]></description>

This language struck me as strange and unsettling in a way that revealed something crucial about the attitude toward human experience that was spreading outward from its Bay Area centre – a cluster of software metaphors that had metastasised into a way of thinking about what it meant to be a human being.

" And it was the same essential metaphor that lay at the heart of Koene’s project: the mind as a piece of software, an application running on the platform of flesh. When he used the term “emulation”, he was using it explicitly to evoke the sense in which a PC’s operating system could be emulated on a Mac, as what he called “platform independent code”.

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" One Apple employee was recently living in a Santa Cruz garage, using a compost bucket as a toilet. Another tech worker, enrolled in a coding bootcamp, described how he lived with 12 other engineers in a two-bedroom apartment rented via Airbnb. “It was $1,100 for a fucking bunk bed and five people in the same room. One guy was living in a closet, paying $1,400 for a ‘private room’.”

" “We make over $1m between us, but we can’t afford a house,” said a woman in her 50s who works in digital marketing for a major telecoms corporation, while her partner works as an engineer at a digital media company. “This is part of where the American dream is not working out here.” "]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" This ant march is slow, just some roughly 650 feet annually — about twice the length of a soccer field per year. But it seems inexorable. Texas A&M University researchers found crazy ants in 23 counties in Texas, reported the Austin American-Statesman on Sunday.

" Although the insects are so named for their swarming maneuvers, the term is equally apt for the damage they inflict on the human psyche. For reasons not fully understood, the ants are found in large numbers near electrical equipment and wall sockets. Cellphones and television sets have succumbed to the ant swarms, and the insects damaged electronics in a Houston-area industrial park. "]]></description>

And the companies also know that, because they are homeless, these men mostly will not complain, even if the job is to make others homeless. "]]></description>

Yet, contextual swipe (the name we will use in this article for swipe-to-delete and its many relatives that trigger contextual actions) has questionable usability in many of its implementations.

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" Hundreds of documents obtained by CityLab from the country’s top fifty largest police departments over the last ten months reveal that similar cellphone surveillance devices have been quietly acquired by local authorities nationwide.

" The majority of these departments have at least one of two main types of digital-age spy tools: cellphone interception devices, used to covertly track or grab data from nearby mobile devices, and cellphone extraction devices, used to crack open locked phones that are in police possession and scoop out all sorts of private communications and content.

" Access to such devices was once largely limited to intelligence agencies like the NSA and the FBI; their acquisition by local police departments is a relatively recent, less-discussed part of a wider police militarization trend. With only a few clicks, police can now map out individuals’ social networks, communication timelines, and associates’ locations, based on the data captured by these surveillance tools.

The largest hospital chain in the Carolinas is plugging data for 2 million people into algorithms designed to identify high-risk patients, while Pennsylvania’s biggest system uses household and demographic data. Patients and their advocates, meanwhile, say they’re concerned that big data’s expansion into medical care will hurt the doctor-patient relationship and threaten privacy. "]]></description>

" The Entangled Lab is our most powerful feature! Here you can opt into formal experiments designed to test the horizons of global consciousness and mind-matter effects. We already have some exciting experiments in the works, including:

" * Mass Meditation: Can the effects of mass mediation actually be measured? Opt into the mass mediation experiment, in collaboration with Unify.org, and we can produce an answer.
 * Earthquakes: Can thousands of people lend their subconscious minds to help predict earthquakes? This experiment will test the predictive capabilities of collective consciousness when it comes to future events of a predefined type.
 * Terrorism: Terrorist acts polarize worldwide attention and cause an outpouring of emotion unlike any other event. Do anomalies in the Entangled network correlate with these acts? Does geography play a role? "]]></description>

A little later, the legislators stumbled out, wondering what was weirder: Pence's inability to make conversation, or calling his wife "Mother" in the second decade of the 21st century. "

" And then the photograph came out. It featured Pence signing RFRA into law surrounded by monks and nuns in habits, and the three men of the Indiana-right apocalypse: Indiana Family Institute's Smith, Micah Clark of the American Family Association of Indiana, and Advance America's Eric Miller. The press was not allowed. Smith has said homosexuality is outlawed in the Bible, along with adultery and bestiality; Clark once was a proponent of gay conversion therapy; and Miller claimed that ministers and priests could be imprisoned for preaching against homosexuality. The photo was so egregious that when a Democratic state representative began circulating it, colleagues complimented him on his Photoshopping skills. "]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" Most notable, wellness program vendors are able to amass a trove of health information through questionnaires and medical exams. Laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act prohibit employers from collecting health data information from employees, but certain rules exempt health data collection by wellness programs.

" Often employees are not informed before joining a wellness program that vendors may sell the health information they collect. This does not appear to be well-known among employers, either. Some vendors are for-profit entities and are not connected to a health insurance carrier, which means that much of the information their programs collect exists in a legal gray area, since that information is not protected by laws such as the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Generally, HIPAA requires the consent and notice of the patient before private health information acquired at a doctor’s office, clinic, hospital, or other health care provider is transferred to third parties. But for stand-alone wellness program vendors who are not considered health care providers, the information they collect is not covered by HIPAA, and they may sell health data to third parties without informing employees. This puts employees at risk of having their data used unlawfully and could create legal liabilities for employers.

" Even if a wellness program vendor does not sell the information it collects, employees’ data may still be compromised due to data breaches. In my earlier research I discovered that large databases containing health information are an attractive target for hackers. Workplace wellness programs can therefore put employees at risk if the data is not strongly secured; a hack could result in medical identity theft or personal health information being sold to data brokers. This may also create liability for employers if they do not provide adequate oversight in keeping employees’ data secure. "]]></description>

    <title>The Secret History of Lead (Jamie Lincoln Kitman, The Nation)</title>

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" Thus, even the industry’s paid scientists were uneasy about the use of lead in gasoline. Yet none of these calls for further government action were ever acted upon, and it was this failure that gave Ethyl its opening. The PHS never conducted the studies, the Surgeon General never lobbied Congress to pay for them and, for the next forty years, all research on TEL’s health impact would be underwritten by GM, Standard Oil, Du Pont, Ethyl and lead-industry trade associations. With the credulity-stretching statement of an Ethyl spokesman that the only purpose of GM and Standard Oil–“two of the largest units in the automobile and oil industry”–was “to conserve a vital natural resource,” the company welcomed the committee’s report as total vindication. “We plan to resume operations,” Ethyl announced without delay the day of the report’s release. In May 1926, one year after the sale of TEL-laced gasoline was suspended, signs appeared in gas stations: “Ethyl is back.” "

...

" While more than 80 percent of the heaviest lead-using countries today are low income, 70 percent of low lead users (those that have phased out lead or allow only very low levels) are high income. While Americans cruise their freeways burning exclusively unleaded gasoline, as of 1996, 93 percent of all gasoline sold in Africa contained lead, 94 percent in the Middle East, 30 percent in Asia and 35 percent in Latin America.

" According to the World Bank, 1.7 billion urbanites in developing nations are in danger of lead poisoning, including neurological damage, high blood pressure and heart disease from airborne lead, 90 percent of which is attributable to leaded gasoline. Excessive exposure to lead causes 200,000-500,000 cases of hypertension in the Third World, with 400 deaths per year attributable to lead exposure in the late eighties. In Mexico City, one of the world’s most polluted (and populous) cities, 4 million cars pump an estimated 32 tons of lead each day into the air. In Jakarta, one and a half tons enters the atmosphere every twenty-four hours. A research scientist with the Canadian National Water Research Institute performed roadside-dust analyses in Nigeria that revealed as much as 6,000 parts per million of lead. In the United States, lead dust is considered hazardous to children at 600 ppm [see chart in printed issue].

" In Alexandria, Egypt, where gas is heavily leaded, concentrations of TEL and air-lead levels are often double the European Union’s recommended level, and traffic controllers have been found to suffer central nervous system dysfunction. In Cairo more than 800 infants die annually because of maternal exposure to lead. Daytime air-lead levels in Buenos Aires have been measured at 3.9 grams per cubic meter versus the twenty-four-hour EU limit of 1 gram per cubic meter. "]]></description>

    <title>With VA’s Shulkin, Trump gets continuity and private sector ideas, experts say (Nicole Ogrysko, Federal News Radio)</title>

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" “Shulkin seems to really believe that VA does the best job for veterans and that it provides the best quality of care,” said Marilyn Park, legislative representative for AFGE. “He seems to believe that VA should be the decider of when non-VA care needs to be used. It’s a countervailing force to what we heard, but we really do have some wait-and-see here. The campaign promises and most of the people that he has surrounded himself with in the cabinet seem to be much more in favor of the private sector for many things.”

" Shulkin himself pitched a similar idea in 2015, suggesting that the VA alone couldn’t meet veterans’ health care demands on its own and needed to develop stronger partnerships with outside hospitals, clinics and doctors. "]]></description>

    <title>Richard Spencer's ‘One-Stop Shop’ for the Alt-Right (Rosie Gray, The Atlantic)</title>

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" This month, Spencer’s rebooting again: He is renting a “hub” for the alt-right movement in a townhouse in Alexandria, Virginia. Spencer and Jason Jorjani, the editor-in-chief of Arktos, a publishing arm associated with the alt-right, have bought the domain name altright.com. Spencer and Jorjani met at the conference for the National Policy Institute, Spencer’s innocuously named think tank, where attendees gave Nazi salutes as Spencer shouted “Hail Trump” from the stage. They quickly formed a bond, and are now joining forces to brand themselves as the intellectual leaders of the alt-right.

" Spencer's new headquarters reflects his increasing effort to mainstream the alt-right as its preferred candidate prepares to enter the White House, and to cement himself as its leading voice. "]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" Facts don’t matter. You can’t hurt this man with facts or reason. He’ll always outmaneuver you. He’ll always wriggle out of whatever carefully crafted verbal trap you lay for him. Whatever he says, you won’t be able to challenge him. He always comes with a bag of meaningless factoids (Putin likes to drown questions he doesn’t like in dull, unverifiable stats, figures and percentages), platitudes, false moral equivalences and straight, undiluted bullshit. He knows it’s a one-way communication, not an interview. You can’t follow up on your questions or challenge him. So he can throw whatever he wants at you in response, and you’ll just have to swallow it. Some journalists will try to preempt this by asking two questions at once, against the protests of their colleagues also vying for attention, but that also won’t work: he’ll answer the one he thinks is easier, and ignore the other. Others will use this opportunity to go on a long, rambling statement vaguely disguised as a question, but that’s also bad tactics. Non-questions invite non-answers. He’ll mock you for your nervous stuttering and if you’re raising a serious issue, respond with a vague, non-committal statement (“Mr President, what about these horrible human rights abuses in our country?” “Thank you, Miss. This is indeed a very serious issue. Everybody must respect the law. And by the way, don’t human rights abuses happen in other countries as well? Next question please”). "]]></description>
