Uber is scaling back its expansion plans in Oakland, Calif. SAN FRANCISCO -- Uber's first ever diversity report confirms that the embattled ride-hailing company faces the same workforce challenges as its tech world peers. While the company does employ a good number of women, African-Americans and Hispanics, those groups are not well represented among Uber's top leadership and technical positions and instead skew heavily toward the company's preponderance of support and operational roles.

New research and analysis from Federal Reserve economists reveal a problem of mismatches between workers, salaries and productivity, but doesn't identify and discuss the structural cause of the problem: counterproductive recruiting, writes Ask the Headhunter columnist Nick Corcodilos. Nick Corcodilos started headhunting in Silicon Valley in 1979 and has answered over 30,000 questions from the Ask The Headhunter community. In this special Making Sen$e edition of Ask The Headhunter, Nick shares insider advice and contrarian methods about winning and keeping the right job, on one condition: that you, dear Making Sense reader, send Nick your questions about your personal challenges with job hunting, interviewing, networking, resumes, job boards or salary negotiations.

Five years ago, Josh Begley, a data artist and editor at The Intercept, created a straightforward news app for iOS.

And yet, it was censored by Apple for years. Begley attempted to bring Metadata, which was originally called Drones, to the App Store a dozen times.

To the editor: Doyle McManus was only partially correct about President Trump blowing the deal on healthcare. The president has more problems. First, his attention span is too short for him to study any complicated issue. He has acknowledged that healthcare is complicated, but he has refused to or cannot learn the details. Second, he does not like to read.

The push over the last decade by international maritime ports to fully automate operations has sparked the ire of many U.S. longshoremen whose high-paying jobs and way of life are at stake. The trend also sets up a battle between their unions and companies and governments who see automation as a cleaner, more efficient and more cost-friendly alternative to the current system. "This may be the most difficult and complex challenge we've ever undertaken,'' Dan Sperling, professor of civil engineering and environmental science at the University of California, Davis and a member of California's Air Resources Board, told Bloomberg. "We're trying to change the entire freight system.'' California is on the frontlines in the battle over automation as the ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles and Oakland handle 40 percent of U.S. container traffic and that number is expected to increase with the expansion of the Panama Canal.

Dubai will soon be introducing Artificial Intelligence (AI) in its government sectors, a media report said.

The lab, launched on Monday during a workshop by the Smart Dubai Office (SDO) and Smart Dubai Government Establishment, will begin training a batch of 200 persons next month, but will later on be open to researchers, students and the general public, said the report. "To move towards the future, we have to redefine government and embed AI in our services. We have no choice but to embrace technology," said Aisha Bint Butti Bin Bishr, Director-General of Smart Dubai Office.

A searing hot laser capable of cutting through aircrafts in seconds has been demonstrated for the first time by the Ministry of Defence. The research will feed into the Dragonfire programme - a strategy intended to create a laser capable of becoming an alternative to missiles. The idea is to take down drones and cut through the hulls of aircraft and armoured vehicles in a more efficient manner. The technology is not yet ready to deploy, with another five to ten years of research ahead of it to perfect the system. The MoD said: 'It won't be a thing of sleek, space age beauty, looking more like a fridge on a truck than a thing of science fiction!
