Short Wave - How Israel Is Using Facial Recognition In Gaza

After the Hamas attack of Oct. 7 triggered Israel's invasion of the Gaza Strip, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians began fleeing from the North of Gaza to the South. As they fled, many Palestinians reported passing through checkpoints with cameras. Israel had previously used facial recognition software in the West Bank, and some Palestinians reached out to The New York Times reporter Sheera Frenkel to investigate whether the same was happening in Gaza.

Science correspondent Geoff Brumfiel talks to Frenkel about how Israel launched this facial recognition system in Gaza late last year with the help of private companies and Google photos.

Read Frenkel's full article.

The Daily Signal - SHOCKER: Elites Favor Limiting Voting to College Graduates

New polling from Scott Rasmussen reveals that America's elite 1%—those with high incomes, urban residences, and postgraduate degrees—are significantly out of step with the rest of the country on a range of issues.


It’s a troubling trend for America, and it doesn’t bode well for our future considering the elite 1% occupy many of the leadership roles in our cultural, educational, and government institutions.


There's perhaps no statistic more shocking than the 69% of politically obsessed elites who think it would be better if only people with college degrees could vote. By comparison, just 15% of all voters hold that view. (Rasmussen defines "politically obsessed" as elites who talk about politics every day.)


Rasmussen's latest survey, conducted by RMG Research, asked other questions ranging from government censorship to gun ownership. On nearly every issue, there's a wide gulf between the ruling class and everyday Americans.


You can learn more about work on the elite 1% by tuning into "The Scott Rasmussen Show," which airs Sunday at 10 a.m. ET on Merit Street Media.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - TBD | Scarlett Johansson vs OpenAI

When OpenAI showed a demo for the latest version of ChatGPT —the one that you can chat with, you know, with your voice—one of the voices sounded eerily familiar. And instead of a victory lap, it was a reminder of all of the implications for intellectual property and one’s own basic human likeness that this technology carries with it.


Guest: Sigal Samuel, senior reporter for Vox's Future Perfect and co-host of the Future Perfect podcast.

Today's episode is about two massive stars: Whoopi Goldberg and Tom Selleck.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Why tariffs are SO back

Last week, President Biden placed tariffs on a slew of Chinese goods. When Donald Trump was president, he did the same. Regardless of who wins the election, the US is gearing up for heavy tariffs on imports in 2024. But this is far from the first time the economic tool has been in style.

Today, a brief history of US tariffs: how they came into fashion, fell out of fashion, are now back again and why economists aren't too happy about it.
