A New Systemic Racism?

Hiring at some of the country’s elite institutions paints a troubling picture

On the campaign trail in 1992, Bill Clinton famously promised a cabinet that “looks like America.” By that, Clinton meant he intended to pick a leadership team that reflected the racial and gender diversity of the United States.

That’s a laudable goal insofar as it recognizes the potential contributions of all without regard to race or sex, and it is a goal we share. But it has become a shibboleth at the country’s elite institutions behind which lies a deep hostility to white men. Call it the new systemic racism.

US, EU Help to Suppress Journalists, Political Activists

Palestinians have long been accusing the Palestinian Authority (PA) of spying on them by monitoring their activities on various social media platforms, including Facebook. The espionage has resulted in the arrest and persecution of dozens of Palestinians, especially those who dared to criticize PA President Mahmoud Abbas and senior Palestinian officials.

The Palestinians’ accusations have now been confirmed by Facebook. This week, it revealed that it had uncovered the hacking activities of the Palestinian Preventive Security Service (PSS), who report to Abbas.

Tesla cars can be tricked into driverless driving: report

US magazine Consumer Reports said on Thursday its engineers were able to trick a Tesla into driving in the car’s Autopilot mode — with no one at the wheel.

The publication’s engineers were able to operate the vehicle with the car’s inbuilt system failing to realize the driver’s seat was empty.

The experiment comes just days after a Tesla crashed in Texas, killing the two men in the car. Authorities say neither of the victims were in the driver’s seat when the car hit a tree just north of Houston.

UK spy chief says West faces ‘moment of reckoning’ on tech

LONDON (AP) — Western countries risk losing control of technologies that are key to internet security and economic prosperity to nations like China and Russia if they don’t act to deal with the threat, one of the U.K.’s top spy chiefs warned Friday.

“Significant technology leadership is moving east” and causing a conflict of interests and values, Jeremy Fleming, director of government electronic surveillance agency GCHQ, said in a speech.

Singling out China as a particular threat, he said the country’s “size and technological weight means that it has the potential to control the global operating system.”
