Border Wall Construction Threatens 6,000 Years of History on Private Lands

WIRED

Archeologists are confronting an "unfathomable" loss as the US border wall is set to cut across ranches that are home to unique historical sites in Texas, many of which haven't been fully studied. Outrage has exploded over border infrastructure that recently began tearing up pristine desert landscapes in Big Bend National Park. But there's a quieter battle taking place on private lands in Texas, where the US border wall is set to cut across some of North America's richest archaeological sites, digging up ancient indigenous artifacts and fracturing millennia-old rock art in its path. The US Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection awarded billions of dollars in contracts this year toward the construction of a wall and other barriers in West Texas along a remote 500-plus-mile (800-plus-kilometer) riverfront expanse of the US-Mexico border that includes Big Bend National Park and other idyllic parklands. Bipartisan backlash against border wall construction in the national park was swift, ultimately prompting DHS to scuttle plans for a 30-foot steel bollard wall, instead replacing it with miles of riverside vehicle barriers and 200-plus miles of road construction.


How the Job Market Will Shape the Next Generation

The New Yorker

Young people are already discontented. It's not going to get better anytime soon. Youth sentiment is a notoriously hard thing to track. Polling is a fraught enough enterprise without having to deal with flaky kids, occasionally impenetrable survey questions, and the real possibility that words such as "confidence" or "satisfied" might not mean the same thing from one generation to the next. What I've come to believe is that the only way you can genuinely track the attitudes of young people is through annual surveys, which, from year to year, sometimes show bright trend lines.


Stumped by a Medical Mystery? Try Metagenomics

The New Yorker

When doctors can't figure out what's ailing us, they can search our bodies for snippets of genetic material from viruses, bacteria, and fungi. In 2019, Nichol Cano, an otherwise healthy mother of three in Fresno, California, began experiencing worsening headaches. She had no history of headaches; they had seemed to start after a liposuction surgery in Tijuana, Mexico. She saw her primary-care doctor and then a neurologist, who diagnosed her as having migraines. She was given a standard migraine treatment--an injection and a pill--but her pain only intensified.


It Should Be Harder to Apply for a Job. No, Really

WIRED

It Should Be Harder to Apply for a Job. Thanks to a dwindling supply of open roles, "one-click" applications, and the rise of artificial intelligence, it's easier than ever to apply for a job. Three years ago, Andrew Stockwell had his hiring routine down to a science. As head of people for the software-buying company Vendr, Stockwell posted a listing, waited a few days, and then reviewed a few dozen applications--up to 100, if he was lucky. Recruiters identified other potential candidates, adding a few more applicants to the mix.

Satellite images have revealed that tides can vary by almost a metre across the length of a single bay. This means that some parts of the coast are at far greater risk of coastal flooding, saltwater intrusion, and pollution spills than their nearby neighbours.


Spirit Airlines Wants to Sell Its Data to Google. Former Flight Attendants Are Freaked Out

WIRED

Spirit Airlines Wants to Sell Its Data to Google. "It never crossed my mind that they would be so bold as to sell our private data for AI," says one former Spirit Airlines flight attendant. Spirit Airlines may have declared bankruptcy this spring, but the budget airline is still worth something--to AI giants, at least. In mid-August, Google won a $10 million bid to purchase some 34 years of the airline's data, from invoices and flight operations information to Wi-Fi sales, employee records, and crew pairings. In a statement, a Google spokesperson said the data "can be helpful in improving our products and AI models."
