Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Re-Imagine Chicago: Obstacles To School Reform Blamed on Teachers’ Unions And School Administrators
Stanford political scientist Terry Moe argues that, while urban school systems are in desperate need of innovative reforms, productive change is often blocked by stiff resistance from education’s vested interests — notably, teachers unions and school boards.
Moe joins Reset for the latest installment of our series “Re-imagine Chicago.”
This Machine Kills - 96. Taking Control of the Data Pipeline (ft. Meredith Whittaker, Salomé Viljoen)
Intro: Contra – This Machine Kills (remixed) https://contra805.bandcamp.com/track/this-machine-kills
We’re joined by two of the sharpest minds on the politics of AI and data governance—Meredith Whittaker and Salomé Viljoen—to chat about the relationship between corporate gatekeepers and academic research, the construction and infrastructure of data, AI as a universal hammer for all nails, how the state enforces Silicon Valley’s power, and what it would take to seize the data pipeline from private capital for the public good.
This discussion expands on a recent article we published in Nature: Everyone should decide how their digital data are used—not just tech companies | Jathan Sadowski, Salomé Viljoen, Meredith Whittaker: nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01812-3

Consider This from NPR - Pfizer’s Fully-Approved Shot Opens The Door To More Mandates
New York City, New Jersey, Goldman Sachs, and the Pentagon all imposed new vaccine requirements in the days following the FDA's full approval of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. Public health officials — and the President — hope more mandates will follow.
But some businesses are trying a different approach to encourage vaccination. NPR's Andrea Hsu visited one offering $1,000 bonuses to vaccinated employees.
Meanwhile, Delta airlines announced unvaccinated employees would face a monthly surcharge. And some are arguing that airline passengers should be subject to vaccine requirements, too. Juliette Kayyem spoke about that with NPR's Noel King — originally aired on Morning Edition.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

First Things Podcast - A Practical Guide To Reading Well
On this episode, Robert DiYanni joins contributing editor Mark Bauerlein to discuss his recent book, ”You Are What You Read: A Practical Guide To Reading Well.“
CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Why Crypto Is Skeptical of Treasury’s Assurances That We Should Trust It on Infrastructure Bill
The U.S. Treasury claims it will not target non-brokers, though the language of the bill differs with that claim.
This episode is sponsored by NYDIG.
First, on the Brief:
- OnlyFans’ reversal of its decision to ban sexuually explicit content
- Budweiser’s NFT Twitter profile picture
- The U.K.’s warnings to Binance
Last week, OnlyFans announced it would ban sexually explicit content from its platform, citing three major banks that had refused service because of “reputational risk.” Today, the company suspended the policy change and lauded the community’s rallying support for creators who use the platform. Will larger financial institutions continue to put pressure on OnlyFans or other platforms to make them more “moral”?
Budwieser is the latest to follow Visa’s footsteps into the NFT domain. The beer maker announced it bought a rocket ship from NFT artist Tom Sachs’ Rocket Factory. Last on the Brief, specifics of the U.K.’s quarrels with Binance have been released, primarily centered around a lack of supervision capabilities.
In the main discussion, NLW addresses a new angle to the infrastructure bill. The Treasury has claimed that it will not target non-brokers, like miners, even if the bill’s language includes them. Can the crypto community trust the Treasury’s statements of goodwill?
