It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Dr. Millie Hughes-Fulford, the pioneering American molecular biologist, medical researcher, and NASA's first female payload specialist—who flew as the first woman scientist (non-career astronaut) in space aboard Space Shuttle Columbia on mission STS-40 in June 1991, conducting biomedical experiments on the effects of microgravity—poses thoughtfully in a classic NASA portrait. She has short blonde hair, blue eyes, and a gentle smile as she looks upward and to the side. Dressed in a light blue NASA flight suit with quilted texture, red "NASA" patch on the chest, dark collar and accents, she sits at a table with her hands resting near a detailed model of the Space Shuttle Columbia (featuring its orange external tank, white orbiter with "USA" and "Columbia" markings, and white solid rocket boosters). Behind her, a large American flag with prominent white stars on a blue field adds a patriotic backdrop, while the vibrant red wall highlights her focused, inspired expression and the shuttle model symbolizing her historic contribution to space life sciences research. #MillieHughesFulford #NASA #STS40 #SpacePioneer #Astronaut #BiomedicalResearch #SpaceShuttle

Opinion | Let the Arms Race Begin

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Amazon slashing 16,000 jobs shows the company for what it is.
