It was always a political apointment. What else could it be? Bari Weiss did not qualify for the job of running CBS, except ideologically. But that's not a newsroom virtue, it's normally treated as a vice. Thus the job she was appointed to requires conflict with the newsroom, via accusations of bias.

Translation: The system that processes import entries (called ACE) can only handle 10,000 lines at a time.

Someone has to manually build Excel spreadsheets for each batch.

To remove the tariff charges, CBP needs to run roughly 170,000 separate manual update operations.

Under Secretary ...

This is a great complement to @X's community notes system, which results in less
"reach" (thus monetization) for content annotated as inaccurate.
You don't need a Ministry of Truth to incentivize truth online.

Happy to see Sarah Rogers, who was lying in a hearing yesterday ab Stanford Internet Observatory being part of a cabal of Stasi NGOS (what?), come out in support of my past argument ab β€œfreedom of speech not freedom of reach” & the importance of supplementing CN w/ incentives. Glad we agree, Sarah!

a graph of year-on-year change in US tech employment

Brutal numbers for US tech sector jobs released todayβ€”overall, employment decreased by 12k last month and is down 57k over the last year

That's now nearly as bad as the worst of the 2024 tech-cession, and significantly worse than either the 2008 or 2020 recessions

In 25-Country Survey, Americans Especially Likely To View Fellow Citizens as Morally Bad Across 25 countries, Americans are the most likely to see the morality and ethics of people in their country as somewhat or very bad.

"The United States is the only place we surveyed where more adults (ages 18 and older) describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad (53%) than as good (47%)."
