Influence of snow spatial variability on cosmic ray neutron snow water equivalent (SWE): case study in a northern prairie
Abstract. Monitoring prairie snow is difficult due to its extreme spatial variability from windy conditions, gentle topography, and low tree cover. Previous work has shown that a non-invasive, abovegr...

This is why labor laws are so important — and exactly why big corporations spend so much money lobbying against them.

NEW: For years, NYC Starbucks workers have claimed that the company has arbitrarily cut their hours, denying them stable schedules. In a historic settlement announced today, Starbucks has to pay out $35 million to 15,000 workers.

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.
Silicon Valley's capture of our political institutions is all but complete
The tech lobby kills off two key California AI bills, and why it matters. Plus: How Sam Altman played Hollywood with Sora 2, organized mass social media deletions, and more.

regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once:
— virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— against increasing the minimum wage
— buys foreign imports because they're cheap

A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers
An initiative aimed at boosting Democrats online offers influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content.

Because banning social media for kids is not about protecting kids or making their lives better. It flies in the face of research, data, and what kids are telling us. It’s about controlling them, isolating them, and keeping them uninformed. It’s part of the fascist playbook.
having thought about this for three days, my current status is:
what the FUCK are we doing trying to ban social media for kids and not banning AI use? we are literally telling them not to use the computer to talk to their real friends but instead to the imaginary technology monetisable 'friends'.

this makes me suspect that one of the routes that AI companies are aiming at is targeting young people. anything that existed when you were a kid feels normal and indispensable. especially if you always used AI to write all your essays for you. and to comfort you when your parents were arguing.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”
But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.
