Senators Press Amazon’s Bezos on Unfair Scheduling Practices Hurting Workers: Amazon’s “just-in-time” scheduling leaves hourly workers with volatile schedules, uncertain paychecks


cross-posted from: programming.dev/post/37546974

Letter.
A new Harvard survey found that 41% of Amazon employees get their schedule less than two weeks ahead of when they are scheduled to work, a practice known as “just-in-time” scheduling. For many employees — especially for those with responsibilities outside of their Amazon job, like caregiving, education, or additional jobs — just-in-time arrangements are unworkable.

(...)

Just-in-time scheduling could have other consequences beyond leaving workers with little control over their own schedules and lives. The practice could mean that workers aren’t given enough hours, forcing them to become part-time workers with virtually no notice or ability to budget accordingly. Workers in the warehousing and transportation sectors are particularly likely to report high rates of anxiety, stress, and lack of control over their jobs as compared to other sectors — on top of elevated risk of injury and illness. And Amazon’s use of just-in-time scheduling could be indicative of other unfair scheduling practices, like “on-call” requirements — which force workers to remain available for shifts that may or may not come to be — or refusal to reschedule workers.

Map shows states with laws limiting "junk fees" for renters


The nationwide, bipartisan movement to eliminate so-called "junk fees" for renters has reached Massachusetts, where landlords are now forced to share the total price of what they are renting out with a future tenant before asking for any personal information.

Massachusetts is only the latest in a series of states which have introduced similar legislation against hidden fees in the rental market in recent years, including California and Colorado, as Americans struggle with a housing affordability crisis.

A study by the National Consumer Law Center found that junk fees cost American tenants hundreds of millions of dollars a year, disproportionately impacting the lowest-income and marginalized renting households, who spend a higher share of their wages on these hidden costs.

According to U.S. Census Bureau data, over 21 million renter households—the equivalent of about half of all renter households—spent more than 30 percent of their monthly income on rent in 2023, enough to be considered cost-burdened.

Feds propose rescinding public lands rule, which made conservation an official 'use' of BLM land • North Dakota Monitor


The federal government on Wednesday proposed rescinding a Bureau of Land Management rule that allows the department to consider conservation as part of its multi-pronged approach to federal land management.

The change comes as the Trump administration continues pushing for increased resource utilization of public lands, including through logging and mining.

The proposal drew immediate reactions — with political leaders praising the reversal as helpful to energy production but conservation groups decrying it as another harm to public lands access.

'Impeachable': Explosive report on Trump's massive crypto 'scandal' stuns observers


The New York Times on Monday published a blockbuster report detailing how US President Donald Trump’s administration gave the United Arab Emirates access to high-powered artificial intelligence chips just days after receiving a massive investment in Trump’s cryptocurrency startup.

As the Times report documented, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) ruling family, had one of his investment firms deposit $2 billion into World Liberty Financial, the startup founded by members of the Trump family and the family of Trump Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.

Just two weeks later, wrote the Times, “the White House agreed to allow the UAE access to hundreds of thousands of the world’s most advanced and scarce computer chips, a crucial tool in the high-stakes race to dominate artificial intelligence,” despite national security concerns about these chips being shared with China.

US designates Colombia as failing to cooperate in the drug war for first time in nearly 30 years


The Trump administration on Monday added Colombia to a list of nations failing to cooperate in the drug war for the first time in almost 30 years, a stinging rebuke to a traditional U.S. ally that reflects a recent surge in cocaine production and fraying ties between the White House and the country's leftist president.

Even as it determined that Colombia had failed to comply with its international counternarcotics obligations, the Trump administration issued a waiver of sanctions that would have triggered major aid cuts, citing vital U.S. national interests.



Meta created its own super PAC to politically kneecap its AI rivals


Thanks to a unique corporate ownership structure that gives him complete control of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg has essentially created his own personal California super PAC, allowing him to spend Meta’s money on politically protecting his priorities in the heart of the tech industry — and, possibly, against the interests of his corporate rivals. Meta confirmed that the company plans to spend tens of millions of dollars as part of the initial investment and said that it would figure out who had ultimate decision-making power over candidates to back, and whether Meta’s own social media products were used to promote those candidates, once the super PAC was up and running.

“It’s essentially a way for [Zuckerberg] to spend the company’s money on his political choices, whereas at a company like Google, there’s not a single person who’s a majority shareholder who can dictate what the company does,” Rick Hasen, a UCLA law professor specializing in election law, told The Verge. “It’s interesting, because Zuckerberg could just spend his own personal money to do this. But instead, he’s doing it through the company.”



Hundreds of Alligator ~~Alcatraz~~ Aushwitz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site


For the hundreds of men who were detained at Alligator Alcatraz, entering the gates of the makeshift migrant detention center in the Everglades meant exiting the labyrinthine but familiar federal immigration process and entering what several immigration attorneys described as an alternate system where the normal rules don’t apply.

One Guatemalan man detained at the tent site was accidentally deported to Guatemala before a scheduled bond hearing, his attorney said, reminiscent of the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.

A 35-year-old Cuban man could not be located at the California detention facility where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said they had sent him, leaving his family and attorney frantically trying to determine where he was for more than a week, they said.

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald. The Herald had obtained the names from two detainee rosters.





Texas Tech student Greg Abbott blasted for mocking Charlie Kirk is jailed, no longer enrolled


Texas Tech University declined to say Monday why its police officers arrested a student who was filmed in a heated exchange at a vigil for Charlie Kirk — an incident that drew national attention, with Gov. Greg Abbott cheering her arrest for mocking the conservative activist’s assassination.

The university police department would only say that the student, 18-year-old Camryn Giselle Booker, was charged on Friday with simple assault, a class C misdemeanor that typically does not result in jail time. The department said the arrest happened in a “free speech area” near the student union. She was booked into the Lubbock County jail at 4:52 p.m., and released the next day at 2:11 p.m. after paying a $200 bond, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office said.



Beto O'Rourke wins another round against Ken Paxton


O’Rourke has acknowledged that his group sent more than $1 million to Democratic groups in the Texas House. But he’s said the money had no strings attached and didn’t demand any actions as Paxton has claimed. He said they simply were supporting Democrats like any other political action committee is allowed to do in the name of supporting free speech.

The case continues, even though the Democrats who fled the state have returned and the redistricting maps are now passed.

Paxton may still be winning a larger battle against O’Rourke by forcing him and Powered By People into court, where they’ve now had to spend nearly $400,000 in legal fees on the case, according O'Rourke. And until Friday’s ruling, the group’s accounts were frozen, making it unable to do any of its usual activities.



[FCC Chair] Carr splits from the GOP's social media crackdown after Kirk killing


Amid a conservative firestorm over online speech, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr on Tuesday rejected the notion that the government should crack down on social media posts following conservative organizer Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
“I think you can draw a pretty clear line, and the Supreme Court has done this for decades, that our First Amendment, our free speech tradition, protects almost all speech,” Carr told POLITICO’s Alex Burns on stage at the POLITICO AI & Tech Summit.

Appeals court rejects Trump’s bid to unseat Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook ahead of rate vote


An appeals court ruled Monday that Lisa Cook can remain a Federal Reserve governor, rebuffing President Donald Trump’s efforts to remove her just ahead of a key vote on interest rates.

The Trump administration is expected to quickly turn to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch bid to unseat Cook. The Fed’s next two-day meeting to consider its next interest rate move begins Tuesday morning. And Cook’s lawsuit seeking to permanently block her firing must still make its way through the courts.

The White House campaign to unseat Cook marks an unprecedented bid to reshape the Fed’s seven-member governing board, which was designed to be largely independent from day-to-day politics. No president has fired a sitting Fed governor in the agency’s 112-year history.

[Translated from German] The US just got one small step closer to civil war

Romania’s Prosecutor General: Our country was the target of large, hybrid campaigns in the context of the 2024 elections


(auto-translation via Firefox)

Romania's Prosecutor General Alex Florence said on Tuesday that Romania was the preferred target of large, hybrid campaigns in the context of the 2024 elections.


“From the investigations carried out at the level of the General Prosecutor’s Office, the conclusion can be drawn at this moment, based on some elements that we will present to you in detail in the following, regarding the fact that Romania has been the main target of some large, hybrid campaigns, in the context of the electoral elections in 2024, the hostile actors aiming at the continuous modeling of the public opinion, the destabilization of the decision-making capacity of the authorities and the dilution of the degree of cohesion.

He explained that this campaign was manifested by cyber attacks and measures to destabilize public order.

“The campaign launched in the Romanian space was manifested both through cyber attacks, measures to destabilize the public order, as well as through campaigns to micro-target the population, disinformation and influence the electorate. On this level was highlighted the offensive character of the hybrid aggressions targeting Romania, which exploited, on the one hand, the vulnerabilities of the national audiences, both through the versatile use of social platforms, respectively by eluding the policies present at their level on the way of promoting the people in the political spectrum, as well as by social engineering techniques aimed at segmenting the population in order to further deliver personalized messages to the audiences.

“Hybrid warfare, by comparing it to traditional warfare, which is more obvious, more transparent, in terms of the material results it produces, is much more insidious, but with results of influencing the way in which the social-economic life of a much larger state is carried out. Because it involves the use in parallel, together or separately, but clearly coordinated, of several types of instruments targeting a state, whether we are talking about different economic, administrative instruments, cyber attacks, secret actions destabilizing for the public order of that state, political subversion and, of course, disinformation and propaganda,” explained Alex Florence.

He noted that certain news that may seem isolated is part of a conjugated effort.

“It is important to make these clarifications for the public to understand that certain news that may sometimes seem disparate, isolated, unnecessitated, unrelated, are, in fact, part of a conjugated war and an effort conjoined as a distinct part of these hybrid warfare instruments,” the attorney general said.

He also said that cyber-attacks are not random or isolated events.

“As far as cyber attacks are concerned, we have to understand that news of the kind that has been circulated in the public space, regarding attacks on Romanian airports a few years ago, of an entire system of surveillance cameras, especially in the border area with Ukraine, or the attacks during the course of 2024 on many public institutions and government agencies in Romania are not random events, they are not isolated events, but once again they are part of a generally coordinated hybrid attack.

He added that the reports he transmits weekly by the National Directorate of Cybernetics Security on his website highlights precisely the frequency, amplitude and especially how these attacks are carried out.

Alex Florence also recalls the fact that Russian cyberattacks intensified on Romanian institutions and companies in 2024.

“The most dangerous attacks, especially those of ransomware, were fully associated with pro-Russian groups such as Lockbit, Lynx, Akira or Ransom Hub and stood out for a particularly intense activity last year. These attacks targeted more than 13 public administration institutions, 12 transport companies of national interest, 17 banking institutions and so on. Also, with strict reference to the electoral process carried out last year, we must take into account that more than 85,000 cyber attacks launched on the electoral infrastructure that aimed to obtain and exfiltrate credentials especially from the Central Electoral Authority and the Central Electoral Bureau, around that period, many of which were subsequently disseminated in groups of Telegram from Russian infrastructure,” the Prosecutor General said.

He said the destabilizing actions that may seem to be isolated elements are part of a coordinated campaign targeting Romania, but also other Eastern European states.

“We recall on this occasion the situation of 2024 of the Colombian citizen, arrested for entering Romania under the coordination of a certain person from Russia with the intention of blowing up objectives located in the proximity of a complex in Ilfov County, where there was a degenerative landfill, as well as two oil extraction wells and a natural gas measuring station,” explained Alex Florence.

Similar actions have taken place in other eastern European states


He said similar actions took place in the Czech Republic and Poland.

“It is worth noting that similar situations are found in other Eastern European states at the same time, when again both in Prague, in the Czech Republic and in Poland, then those actions having the expected result, producing an attack on some often critical infrastructure and in all these are also involved in Colombian citizens. What shows us from the investigations carried out, the fact that behind these coordinated, destabilizing attacks at the level of internal public order, there is coordination on the part of a foreign state actor and with the direct coordination of these political persons engaged and engaged especially in the South American area, the penetration in the Eastern European countries and the conduct of this type of attack,” the Prosecutor General of Romania stated.

He stressed that another component of hybrid warfare is political subversion that can take on different components.

“We are talking, on the one hand, about careful cultivation and often below the limit of detection of some media affairs networks, but also internal political sources, able to influence in one form or another government decisions. We remember the relations and visits made to the Russian embassy and developed in the last two years by several Romanian parliamentarians. But an important element that is found in the Romanian space is at the moment the instrumentation of the Romanian extremist groups. We also remember the case of Marian Moţoc, a character sent to court by the Prosecutor’s Office this year and who had entered into direct coordination with the Embassy of the Russian Federation at that time, in this case with the Russian military attaché,” said Alex Florence.

Intensifying extremist messages in November 2024


He also explained that in November 2024, at the level of extremist communities, there was an intensification of hateful and violent messages.

“We must bear in mind that, starting in November 2024, at the level of extremist communities, there has been an increase in narratives and messages inciting hatred and violence associated with the campaign to promote an independent candidate and have created a climate of panic at the level of society. This increase in the volume of instigating content incriminating violent actions was initiated since the first round of elections, but the evolution is systematically achieved by promoting elements of hate incitement content, generated through artificial intelligence.

He said this narrative corresponds to the pattern in which the Russian Federation operates.

“This type of narratives and the way of making the online content correspond to the shareholding pattern of the Russian Federation, being reported in other states, such as Moldova or Georgia. Also, pro-Russian propaganda channels were used, as we will see the promotion of these elements of content”, explained Alex Florence.

He said that even at the level of social media, inciting hateful and violent actions were identified.

“Last but not least, ,at the level of social networks, hateful messages were identified in violent actions, including against the authorities, most of the threats being outlined around the idea of general upheaval, the messages containing phrases that exploited nostalgic feelings by making the majority reference to the Revolution of December 1989. It is an inflation of such messages in the online area, created with artificial intelligence, which proves an absolutely artificial behavior, but which generates a tension, a state of effervescence among the communities to which they are addressed and, obviously, these messages are subsequently taken over and viralized from various extremist groups at the national level”, declared the Prosecutor General.

Revolution's Hashtag, used in disinformation campaigns


He exemplified this situation with the hashtag of the Revolution.

“It’s a hashtag behind which a whole range of messages of this kind of hate and violence have been viralized around the first juror of the presidential laws. It is a hashtag that comes and is launched somewhere from Russian infrastructure on Telegram channels. He is subsequently viralized through a whole support infrastructure. He is automatically associated with two of the former independent candidate’s hashtags and reaches a peak of viralization at more than 1,800,000 daily views and 176 videos posted daily, all with the same type and the same version of the message,” said Alex Florence.

The Prosecutor General specified that since November 27, 2024, an intensification of the campaign to promote the independent candidate in the presidential elections has been found.

“Analyses have shown that since November 27 there has been an increase in the campaign to promote the presidential candidate at the level of groups known for the dissemination of disinformation narratives, which ensure the connection between the pro-Russian community and other communities generating risks for public order, especially extremist and conspiracist groups.

Thus, narratives were identified through which the candidate is promoted at the level of over 40 groups of this type and totaled over 1,300,000 members. Well, all these actions to promote hateful content reveal an artificial behavior, as I said, the intensity of social effervescences, with that huge volume of content of this type, being manifestly disproportionate to the manifestations in the public space, from the real physical space. This outlines the specific hypothesis of influencing the information space in order to amplify some states of dissatisfaction that are vacavable then by generating large-scale street actions,” the Prosecutor General stated.

He also presented how the Romanian population was targeted to identify certain admissible narratives.

“We must understand that the online ecosystem currently used by actors in the Russian Federation are looking at a wide range of tools, starting from traditional state media sites and components, which are spreading, starting to create certain news and will also be found in Romania and further spread through various websites and blogs created especially for the creation and spread of this content. They are also used in this firm troll toolkit, for those who do not understand what they are talking about fake accounts, those that emminate an official account, and who claim authentic users and entire networks of bots. These are tools that artificially amplify the visibility of a certain content, either through comments or by complimentary clicks and so on,” the Prosecutor General said.

Having trouble with sonarr downloads


So, I have my arr stack set up to queue downloads through qbittorrent and I've tweaked my release/delay profiles to 720 minutes after release. For some reason my modified version of Sonarr is trying to grab my requested linux .iso's before the official release. Fortunately, I have .mp4 and .mkv filtered in qbittorrent so I don't end up with any of those nasty pirated tv shows, but it clogs up my download client. They'll just sit at 100% complete and seed indefinitely because all the content is filtered to "do not download".

Sonarr sees this as progress in the activity tab and won't attempt to pick up the actual linux iso release when it is official.

Donald Trump's approval rating crashes with Latino voters


New polling conducted by Somos Votantes and the Global Strategy Group between August 26 and September 4 shows that Trump's net approval rating among Latino voters has dropped from -11 points in February to -23 points in September.

His favorability rating has seen a similar drop, from -12 points in February to -20 points in September.
