Democrat Raphael Warnock wins Georgia Senate race. The Trump Organization convicted. The Supreme Court considers voting rights. CBS News Correspondent Steve Kathan has today's World News Roundup.
Democrats will have a bit more breathing room in the Senate, with an outright majority provided by Reverend Raphael Warnock’s win. We ask what the state-level victory reveals about national politics. Algeria’s leadership has benefited from an oil-and-gas boom; lamentably, its long-suffering citizenry has not. And why an artificial intelligence success at the game Diplomacy is significant.

You might remember in Season 6, episode 15, I interviewed Itiel, the Co-founder of Komodor. Today I have a special episode of the Code Story podcast, bringing back our friends at Komodor. I'm chatting with their Open Source Dev Leader, Andrey Pokhilko, about the latest initiatives at the company, including some exciting tooling around Helm and further advances in Kubernetes troubleshooting and expertise.
As a reminder, Komodor enables development teams to monitor their entire Kubernetes stack, identify issues, uncover root causes and get the context needed to troubleshoot their orchestration efficiently and independently.
ChatGPT is a new artificial intelligence chatbot that you can ask any question and it will give a human answer… so we asked it to write today’s TBOY episode. The hottest-growing food right now is “smeals” (snackable meals) — Smeals are a case study in “Category Design.” And Salesforce just lost another key executive (the founder of Slack) because CEO Marc Benioff can be rich or king (but you can never be both).

In May 2017, Conover went to Colorado to explore firsthand a rural way of life that is about living cheaply, on your own land—and keeping clear of the mainstream. The failed subdivisions of the enormous San Luis Valley make this possible. Five-acre lots on the high prairie can be had for five thousand dollars, sometimes less.
Conover volunteered for a local group trying to prevent homelessness during the bitter winters. He encountered an unexpected diversity: veterans with PTSD, families homeschooling, addicts young and old, gay people, people of color, lovers of guns and marijuana, people with social anxiety—most of them spurning charity and aiming, and sometimes failing, to be self-sufficient. And more than a few predicting they’ll be the last ones standing when society collapses.
Conover bought his own five acres and immersed himself for parts of four years in the often contentious culture of the far margins. He found many who dislike the government but depend on its subsidies; who love their space but nevertheless find themselves in each other’s business; who are generous but wary of thieves; who endure squalor but appreciate beauty. In their struggles to survive and get along, they tell us about an America riven by difference where the edges speak more and more loudly to the mainstream.
Ted Conover is the author of several books, including Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Harper’s Magazine, and National Geographic. He is a professor at, and the former director of, New York University’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute.
