"Cities across the nation face a dilemma," writes the Washington Post's editoral board," warning local leaders to respond to "the urgency and scale of the downtown crisis in many major metro areas..." "[43]Downtown office buildings are empty as workers prefer to stay home." Nearly all local leaders agree part of the solution is [44]an office-to-apartment conversion boom. Cities have started rolling out tax incentives to encourage developers to begin this transformation. This strategy is straight out of the playbook that revived [45]center city Philadelphia and [46]Lower Manhattan in the past quarter century. But there's a problem: City leaders aren't doing enough... Consider the nation's capital city. Downtown D.C. is more than 90 percent commercial buildings. The vibrancy and workers are largely gone. [47]Crime and grime are increasing, while property tax revenue is [48]quickly decreasing as building values plummet. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) has put out an ambitious "[49]Comeback Plan" that calls for [50]15,000 new residents living downtown by 2028. To make that a reality, the city needs developers to convert roughly 7 million square feet of office space to apartments and condos. Her team estimates about 1 million square feet is on track for conversion so far. There's a long way to go. The situation is [51]similar in Chicago, San Francisco, New York and [52]Atlanta, among other cities.... The longer cities wait to get conversions underway, the more tax values drop and crime goes up, and the more people see no value in living in the heart of the city -- or even visiting. One way or another, cities are going to pay. D.C. is already staring at [53]$464 million in lower revenue for 2024 to 2026 mainly due to lower commercial property taxes downtown. San Francisco is facing a [54]$728 million shortfall over the next two fiscal years for similar reasons. Buildings constructed in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s are quickly becoming distressed. It's far better to invest now than to spend years overseeing stagnation and decline. As D.C.'s Chief Financial Officer Glen Lee [55]warned, this is "a serious long-term risk to the District's economy and its tax base." The sooner these buildings can convert to residential, the sooner the city can generate some tax revenue again from an area that once brought in hefty commercial property revenue. Cities will have to rely much more on residential income tax revenue from downtowns. apply tags__________ 170474827 story [56]Television [57]Worf's Final Act: a 'Star Trek' Legend Looks Back [58](polygon.com) [59]28 Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday March 05, 2023 @04:04AM from the deep-spaces dept. The final season of Star Trek: Picard [60]features the return of the Klingon Worf, reports Polygon, calling it "the chance to give one of sci-fi's most beloved supporting characters something that's usually reserved only for Captains and Admirals: a glorious third act." Interestingly, back in 1987 Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry had "hoped to avoid relying on familiar alien antagonists" when creating the first Star Trek TV sequel in 1987. So after a last-minute addition, "the early development of the character was left almost entirely in the hands of Dorn, then best known for a [61]supporting role on the lighthearted police drama CHiPs." "They really didn't have a bible for Worf at all," says Dorn of those early episodes. "In fact, one of the first things I did was, I asked the producers, 'What do you want from this guy? You've just handed me a piece of paper that says Worf on it.'" With Roddenberry's blessing, Dorn set out making the character his own, giving Worf the kind of personal investment and attachment that only an actor can provide. "I decided to make the guy the opposite of everybody else on the show. You know, everyone else, their attitudes were great, and they're out there in space, relationships are forming. And after every mission they were like, Wasn't that fantastic? I didn't say anything to anybody, I just made him this gruff and surly character on the bridge. No smiles, no joking around." It didn't take the show's producers long to realize that Dorn's gruff, joyless performance could effectively turn any bit of throwaway dialogue into a laugh line.... Alongside his role as the show's unlikely comic relief, however, Worf developed into one of Star Trek's most complicated protagonists. Roddenberry mandated that the show's human characters had evolved beyond the sorts of interpersonal conflicts that typically drive television dramas, but Worf, an alien, was permitted to be contrarian, hot-tempered, and even malicious.... He strictly adheres to a code of honor that does not totally overlap with that of his peers.... Yet, however many times "real" Klingon conduct clashes with his values, Worf never allows this to pollute his own sense of honor. He remains unfailingly truthful, loyal, and brave. And, over the years, other Klingons take notice of this and grow to admire and emulate him.... Dorn -- along with the rest of the Next Gen ensemble -- has once again been called upon to revitalize a Star Trek spinoff. The third season of Star Trek: Picard reintroduces us to Worf as a wise old master, so confident in his ability to defeat his foes in combat that he rarely needs to unsheathe this weapon. Dorn has imagined the past 20 years of his character's life in detail, taking inspiration from a source [62]not entirely disconnected from Star Trek: the films of Quentin Tarantino. Appropriately, Dorn has patterned this version of Worf after a character from a film that opens with an old Klingon proverb: Kill Bill. "One of the characters was Pai Mei, this martial arts killer," says Dorn. "He's gone so far in the martial arts, the next step is -- he can defend himself and kill with a sword, but he can also do it with his bare hands. And with that comes calm, and the ability to know that sometimes you don't have to kill. That's how he's grown in the past 20 years. Now he can dodge ray guns...." One way or another, the actor looks back at his untouchable tenure as Starfleet's greatest warrior with warmth and appreciation. And speaking of appreciation, this video [63]shows Dorn out of his Klingon makeup, joining with castmember Brent Spiner to recall a fondly-remembered prank that they'd played on Patrick Stewart (who was directing the episode). apply tags__________ 170474601 story [64]Science [65]Scientists Look for Genetic Effects of Radiation In Chernobyl's Stray Dogs [66](nytimes.com) [67]11 Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday March 05, 2023 @12:34AM from the pup-tests dept. The New York Times reports: After the disaster at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, Ukraine, in 1986, local residents were forced to permanently evacuate, leaving behind their homes and, in some cases, their pets. Concerned that these abandoned animals might spread disease or contaminate humans, officials tried to exterminate them. And yet, [68]a population of dogs somehow endured. They found fellowship with Chernobyl cleanup crews, and the power plant workers who remained in the area sometimes gave them food. (In recent years, [69]adventurous tourists have dispensed handouts, too.) Today, hundreds of free-ranging dogs live in the area around the site of the disaster, known as the exclusion zone. They roam through the abandoned city of Pripyat and bed down in the highly contaminated Semikhody train station. Now, scientists have [70]conducted the first deep dive into the animals' DNA. The dogs of Chernobyl are genetically distinct, different from purebred canines as well as other groups of free-breeding dogs, the scientists reported Friday in Science Advances. It remains too soon to say whether, or how, the radioactive environment has contributed to the unique genetic profiles of the dogs of Chernobyl, the scientists said. But the study is the first step in an effort to understand not only how long-term radiation exposure has affected the dogs but also what it takes to survive an environmental catastrophe. "Do they have mutations that they've acquired that allow them to live and breed successfully in this region?" said Elaine Ostrander, a dog genomics expert at the National Human Genome Research Institute and a senior author of the study. "What challenges do they face and how have they coped genetically?" apply tags__________ 170474407 story [71]Crime [72]Sam Bankman-Fried is Under House Arrest - at Stanford. Students are Fascinated [73](msn.com) [74]36 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 04, 2023 @09:34PM from the hail-Stanford-hail dept. FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried "has been [75]under house arrest at his parents' home on the Stanford campus since December," writes the Washington Post, "making the elite university the unlikely host to one of America's most notorious alleged white-collar criminals. "Surrounded by student co-ops, fraternity houses and other faculty homes, he's the talk of the neighborhood." Bankman-Fried, the son of two Stanford law professors, was released on a $250 million bond secured by the Craftsman-style house. While awaiting his fraud trial later this year, Bankman-Fried wears an ankle bracelet to track his movements and plays with his new dog, Sandor, according to [76]a Puck News report.... It remains to be seen what consequences Bankman-Fried, who pleaded "[77]not guilty," might face. So far, his ability to be detained at home, instead of held in prison, is an exception to how most federal defendants are treated. The quiet, traffic-light Stanford neighborhood is quite the upgrade from [78]Fox Hill, a notoriously rough prison in the Bahamas where Bankman-Fried was briefly held before being extradited. If Bankman-Fried violates the terms of his bail agreement, his parents could lose their house, which they've owned since 1991 and is worth over $3.5 million, according to public property records.... The U.S. government has tried to restrict his access to virtual private networks and certain apps where messages disappear, but a final ruling has not been made. The judge presiding over his case asked in a hearing last month, "Why am I being asked to turn him loose in this garden of electronic devices?," highlighting that despite any restrictions the court might place on Bankman-Fried's use of technology, he remains in a home with his parents who also have a plethora of ways to be wired. On Friday, prosecutors proposed limiting Bankman-Fried to a flip-phone or "non-smartphone" that cannot access the internet, and that he be issued a new laptop "with limited functionalities." Prosecutors also want to place strict limits and monitoring tools on his parents' devices. But meanwhile, among the student population, "There are party fliers with his likeness. He's a punchline in campus comedy sketches. Students ride their bikes by on dates.... When asked whether they could confirm a rumor that a nearby student co-op had attacked the Bankman-Fried home with eggs, Stanford campus police did not respond." And one freshman/cryptocurrency enthusiast even stole a sign from in front of Bankman-Fried's house, then "paraded it around for selfies at a cryptocurrency networking event. The sign is currently growing mold in his dorm-room closet." Bankman-Fried, who grew up on campus, "certainly fits into what I regard as the kind of culture of Stanford," says Richard White, a retired Stanford history professor -- even if the 30-year-old former billionaire left Silicon Valley to attend MIT. White and others characterize Stanford's culture as a place where faculty and students are emboldened to take big risks in conceiving the next hot start-up or breakthrough innovation, often with easy access to capital, the conviction that they're changing the world -- and few consequences if things go south. "Through his spokesman Mark Botnick, Bankman-Fried declined to comment for this article...." apply tags__________ 170468863 story [79]Security [80]Ask Slashdot: Can You Use an Unsafe Computer Safely?

An anonymous reader shares [87]this report from Entrepreneur: Amazon employees are fighting it out about the company's planned return to the office in Slack channels, [88]according to Insider. First, employees created a Slack channel to fight against the policy. Then, a pro-office return group was formed, the outlet reported.... [89]Per CNBC, "remote advocacy" became a common Slack channel status. However, some people who welcomed a return to office life fought back, Insider reported. Over 700 people joined a pro-return-to-office group. Its description says employees need to "Think Big" about the return to office policy. (By comparison, the pro-working remotely channel has around 28,000 members.) "I look forward to the prospect of seeing more of my coworkers in the office," one person reportedly wrote in the channel. Another said that the company should try out the four-day workweek and swap out the remote-flexible schedule.

Microsoft "is adding iPhone support to its Phone Link app on Windows 11," [95]reports MacRumors. "The app allows iPhone users to make and receive phone calls, send and receive text messages, and view an iPhone's notifications directly on a PC." Notably, the app brings limited iMessage functionality to Windows. After pairing an iPhone with a PC via Bluetooth and granting some permissions on the iPhone, users can send and receive iMessages and SMS text messages in Phone Link, but there is no support for group chats or sending photos and videos. The Verge notes you won't see the full message history in conversations, "as [96]only messages that have been sent or received using Phone Link will be displayed." Microsoft isn't using blue or green bubbles in Phone Link either, as the company isn't able to differentiate between a standard text message and one sent via iMessage. The Phone Link integration for iOS is basic compared to what's available for Android, but Microsoft has never supported messaging or calls for iPhone users before, so this is a step in the right direction.... This new Phone Link support arrives alongside a [97]big new Windows 11 update that includes AI-powered Bing on the taskbar, a screen recording feature, better touch optimizations, and more. If you're interested in testing this new Phone Link support for iOS, it will be available for Windows Insiders in the Dev, Beta, and Release Preview channels, but Microsoft is kicking off testing with [98]a "small percentage" of testers this week.

"What if we told you the history you've been told about modern technology isn't quite what it should be?" asks a [104]new Kickstarter campaign for a film about the life of John "Captain Crunch" Draper. 79-year-old Draper is often remembered for his influential early encounters with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, and Draper's [105]early association with Apple Computers is even recognized in the film's title -- "Employee 13." But the trailer also promises the larger life story of Draper, "an eccentric genius who went from being a penniless hacker to a millionaire and back again." What if inventions as big as the internet were envisioned before its time by a brilliant and divergent individual you've probably never heard of? What if someone long overlooked is responsible for inspiring some of the most legendary names in Silicon Valley yet whose notoriety is, oppositely, more synonymous with scandal rather than success? Employee 13 is an important new film project illuminating the intriguing life and influential achievements of John Draper, also known as "Captain Crunch," a hacker and inventor with autism. The campaign says "John's ability to see what others could not influenced an industry, society and culture," and argues that his unique perspective in living with autism "enabled his notable discoveries and contributions advancing technology." The film is in pre-production, "but we need your help to make it happen." (And to "shed light on the dim outcome of one brilliant man's life that was scrutinized without understanding, at a time when autism awareness and support did not exist.") A poster for the movie hails Draper as an "OG hacker, internet technology pioneer, and champion for digital privacy." apply tags__________ 170470957 story [106]Earth [107]Trash Headed for Oceans Blocked by the Ocean Cleanup Project's 'Trash Interceptor 007' [108](msn.com) [109]36 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 04, 2023 @02:34PM from the no-time-to-litter dept. Heavy rainfall "has left the Los Angeles' streets unusually clean," writes an editor at the Los Angeles Times. "But I can't help wondering where it all went... [110]Does it all end up in the ocean?" To answer that question, I turned to the experts at L.A. County Public Works, who oversee [111]storm drains and waterways across the region. The good news is that there are a number of ways that trash is caught before it reaches the open sea. All manner of filters and screens and basins -- and something called the [112]Trash Interceptor 007 (I am not making this up) installed last fall at Ballona Creek -- are employed to collect many thousands of tons of litter before they end up bobbing around the Pacific Ocean, releasing toxins and being mistaken for food by marine animals. Trash Interceptor 007 is a [113]sleek solar-powered boat from The Ocean Cleanup project. Last weekend it caught 11.6 tons of plastic, garbage and debris, and from October to January collected [114]more than 42.5 tons of trash. That's the good news, the Times notes... The bad news is that in storm conditions like we've just experienced, the trash busting systems get overwhelmed and some of the debris washed from the streets ends up on the beaches or in the ocean, along with the dog poop, oil and chemicals that slip through even the best filters. Ugh. All of this is to explain why the many efforts by cities, counties and the state to reduce trash, especially the nonbiodegradable plastic variety, are so important. apply tags__________ 170472645 story [115]Education [116]Code.org Celebrates 10th Anniversary With Fond Memories of Its Viral 2013 Video [117]19 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 04, 2023 @01:44PM from the memory-swap dept. Long-time Slashdot reader [118]theodp shares his perspective on the 10th anniversary of Code.org: Remember this?" [119]asks tech-backed Code.org on Twitter as it [120]celebrates its achievements.... "It's the viral video that [121]launched Code.org back in 2013!" Code.org also reminds its 1M Twitter followers that [122]What Most Schools Don't Teach starred tech leaders Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Tony Hsieh, and Drew Houston. But 10 years later, the promise of unlimited tech jobs and crazy-fun workplaces promoted in the video by these Poster Boys for K-12 Computer Science hasn't exactly aged well, and may serve as more of a cautionary tale about hubris for some rather than evoke fond memories. "Our policy at Facebook is literally to hire as many talented engineers as we can find," [123]exclaimed Zuckerberg in the video. But ten years later, Facebook's policy is firing as many employees as it can -- [124]11,000+ and counting. Houston, who [125]sang the praises of working in cool tech workplaces in the video ("To get the very best people we try to make the office as awesome as possible"), went on to [126]make remote work the standard practice at Dropbox, cut 11% of his employees, and reported a $575M loss on unneeded office space. Under pressure, [127]Gates left Microsoft, [128]Dorsey left Twitter, and [129]Hsieh tragically left (Amazon-owned) Zappos, and the companies they co-founded recently unveiled [130]plans for massive layoffs and [131]halted ambitious office expansion plans as tech employees push back on return-to-the-office edicts. Still, there's no denying the success of what the National Science Foundation called the [132]"amazing marketing prowess" of tech giant [133]supported and [134]directed Code.org when it comes to [135]pushing coding into American classrooms. The nonprofit boasts of having [136]80M+ student accounts, reported it had [137]spent $74.7M to train 113,000+ K-12 teachers to deliver its K-12 CS curriculum, and has set its sights on [138]making CS a high school graduation requirement in every state by 2030. Interestingly, concomitant with Code.org's 10th anniversary celebration was the release of a new academic paper -- [139]Breaking the Code: Confronting Racism in Computer Science through Community, Criticality, and Citizenship -- that provocatively questions whether K-12 CS, at least in its current incarnation, is a feature or a bug. From the paper: "We are currently seeing an unprecedented push of computing into P-12 education systems across the US, with calls for compulsory computing education and changes to graduation requirements.... Although computing creep narratives are typically framed in lofty democratic terms, the 'access' narrative is ultimately a corporate play. Broadening participation in computing serves corporate interests by [140]offering an expanded labor supply from which to choose the most productive workers. It is true that this might benefit an elite subset of BIPOC individuals, but the macroeconomics of the global labor market mean that access to computing is unlikely to ever benefit BIPOC communities at scale. [...] There are several nonprofits invested in the growth of computing, many with mission statements that do explicitly cite equity (and sometimes racial equity, in particular). Some of the larger nonprofits, though, are mainly funded by [141](and thus ultimately serve) corporate interests (e.g., Code. org). apply tags__________ 170468955 story [142]The Courts [143]Fake DMCA Takedowns Blocking Journalists' Stories [144](bbc.co.uk) [145]40 Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 04, 2023 @12:34PM from the copyright-acts dept.

Just last month, three separate false copyright claims were made against Diario Rombe, an investigative news outlet that focusses on Equatorial Guinea. The articles under attack are about the president of Equatorial Guinea's son, Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima, and his close associate, Cameroonian businessman and lawyer NJ Ayuk.

"Owners of Roald Dahl ebooks are having their libraries automatically updated with the new censored versions containing hundreds of changes to language related to weight, mental health, violence, gender and race," reports the British newspaper the Times. Readers who bought electronic versions of the writer's books, such as Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, before the controversial updates have discovered their copies have now been changed. Puffin Books, the company which publishes Dahl novels, updated the electronic novels, in which Augustus Gloop is no longer described as fat or Mrs Twit as fearfully ugly, on devices such as the Amazon Kindle. Dahl's biographer Matthew Dennison last night accused the publisher of "strong-arming readers into accepting a new orthodoxy in which Dahl himself has played no part." Meanwhile... * Dahl's publisher earlier [162]announced they'd also resume publishing original versions of Dahl's novels "before the end of the year," reports the BBC. * The Telegraph notes that when he was alive, Dahl himself "[163]threatened to never write another word if his publishers ever changed his language, promising to send his 'Enormous Crocodile' to gobble them up if they did so." * A New York Times opinion writer adds that "the changes to Dahl's texts [164]first began to appear more than a year ago without attracting any significant attention until now." * Children's book author Frank Cottrell-Boyce [165]admits in the Guardian that "as a child I disliked Dahl intensely.

The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) is investigating the potentials and dangers of solar geoengineering technologies, stating that these controversial interventions are [171]humanity's "only option" to quickly cool the planet within years. An anonymous shares an excerpt from a Motherboard article: In [172]a report published by UNEP in February, an independent panel describes what's currently known about so-called solar radiation modification, also called solar geoengineering, and concludes that, despite its great potential, it's not viable or even safe right now. Nonetheless, amid growing calls from governments to find an emergency brake for climate change -- and ongoing, independent efforts to develop solar geoengineering technology -- the UNEP is calling for a full-scale global review of the tech and eventual multinational framework for how it should be governed. The recommendations have some opponents fearing that this amounts to endorsement of adopting the technology -- a move that could create an even worse environmental crisis by messing with intertwined natural climate systems or pulling the focus away from mitigation measures, as well as further widening the inequalities that already exist as a result of climate change. Solar radiation modification describes a range of technologies that aim to cool our overheated planet by reflecting incoming sunlight back out into space, or making it easier for heat coming off the earth to escape. Blocking out just two percent of sunlight could, according to some estimates, totally offset the warming that comes from doubling the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from pre-industrial levels. It's a tantalizing prospect, but comes with a raft of issues. For one, as the report notes, the best large-scale evidence we have that it could even work is from volcanic eruptions, where the smog cooled the globe for a couple of years afterwards. Most of the actual research has involved climate modeling, theoretical analyses or cost estimates. Some groups have conducted small-scale indoor experiments of how the tech might work. No one's taken the trials outdoors yet. Even if we knew more, it's not a be-all-end-all climate solution, said UNEP's chief scientist, Andrea Hinwood. "SRM technologies, should they be considered at some point in the future, do not solve the climate crisis because they do not reduce greenhouse gas emissions nor reverse the impacts of climate change. The world must be crystal clear on this point," she said in a UN media release. What solar geoengineering might do though, is buy the planet some time. The UNEP report highlights that even if we fully halted CO2 emissions right now, it could take at least until the end of the century to see a drop in temperature. "Make no mistake: there are no quick fixes to the climate crisis," wrote UNEP executive director Inger Andersen in the report. "Increased and urgent action to slash greenhouse gas emissions and invest in adapting to the impacts of climate change is immutable. Yet current efforts remain insufficient." Despite firm opposition from some, the message from the UNEP report seems to be to proceed with caution. "While UNEP is concerned, it is naive to think research will cease and the issues will disappear. We cannot afford to bury our heads in the sand," said chief scientist Hinwood. apply tags__________ 170467699 story [173]Chrome [174]First Look At Google Chrome's Blink Engine Running On an iPhone [175](9to5google.com) [176]36 Posted by [177]BeauHD on Saturday March 04, 2023 @05:00AM from the work-in-progress dept. Google has begun the process of bringing [178]Chrome's full Blink browser engine to iOS against current App Store rules, and now we have our [179]first look at the test browser in action. 9to5Google reports: In the weeks since the project was announced, Google (and [180]Igalia, a major open source consultancy and frequent Chromium contributor) have been hard at work getting a simplified "content_shell" browser up and running in iOS and fixing issues along the way. As part of that bug fixing process, [181]some developers have even [182]shared screenshots of the minimal Blink-based browser running on an iPhone 12. In the images, we can see a few examples of Google Search working as expected, with no glaringly obvious issues in the site's appearance. Above the page contents, you can see a simple blue bar containing the address bar and typical browser controls like back, forward, and refresh. With a significant bit of effort, we were able to build the prototype browser for ourselves and show other sites including 9to5Google running in Blink for iOS, through the Xcode Simulator. As an extra touch of detail, we now know what the three-dots button next to the address bar is for. It opens a menu with a "Begin tracing" button, to aid performance testing. From these work-in-progress screenshots, it seems clear that the Blink for iOS project is already making significant progress, but it's clearly a prototype not meant to be used like a full web browser. The next biggest step that Google has laid out is to ensure this version of Blink/Chromium for iOS passes all of the many tests that ensure all aspects of a browser are working correctly. apply tags__________ [183]« Newer [184]Older » Slashdot Top Deals Slashdot Top Deals [185]Slashdot Deals Slashdot Poll With increasing advances in lifespans, health, and medicine, how old will the oldest person who is already alive today live to be?
