Microsoft 'sometimes' hands keys over to requesting authorities. They receive "about 20 requests per year".

NEW: Microsoft handed the FBI the recovery keys to decrypt the hard drives of three laptops encrypted with BitLocker.
BitLocker is enabled by default in modern Windows laptops, but Microsoft also prompts users to upload the recovery keys to the company's cloud, which opens up this possibility.

Tell me you're redlining without telling me you're redlining
The US DOT says it's planning to prioritize areas with high marriage & high birth rates for funding.
Our new analysis @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows this would disproportionately fund:
—Communities with a higher white resident share
—Low-density areas
—High-income areas
—Car-dependent areas

DOT’s Plan to Distribute Funding by Birth and Marriage Rates Would Leave Communities Most In Need Behind
If enacted, the new US Department of Transportation memo would prioritize funding to whiter, higher-income, more car-dependent areas over communities of color and people who walk, bike, or take public...

Target's actions directly influenced us to buy into Costco.
Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD.
Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%.
Keep voting with your wallet.

The policy starts Monday and applies to already awarded grants. The UofM received a $59.2 million grant in *December*. Republicans just defunded cancer research in MN and blew a huge hole in our state budget. This isn’t a potential future problem. It’s here, now, and devastating.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

I think it’s really interesting how many of the DEI comments made by the administration are about disability and the headline says DEI and folks here assume it’s a comment about race.
They’re coming for everyone but let’s be precise where we can. The ableism is LOUD and aggressive from these folks

Nice use of doublespeak, @mndot.bsky.social .
MnDOT's "climate defeatism" (maybe "denialism" is a better word):
"It suggests that a smaller road with more space for greenery would increase exposure to air pollution, whereas an expanded freeway that directly cuts through neighborhoods wouldn’t."

How local TV covers I-94
➡️A big decision that will impact commuters
➡️What this could mean for "a whole lot of drivers."
➡️120,000 people travel this busy stretch every day.
No mention of people living within poisoning distance of 94, higher asthma rates, lifespans cut short.

Medical large language models are vulnerable to data-poisoning attacks - Nature Medicine
Large language models can be manipulated to generate misinformation by poisoning of a very small percentage of the data on which they are trained, but a harm mitigation strategy using biomedical knowledge graphs can offer a method for addressing this vulnerability.
