Teaching a semester of civics at Miami Carol City High School after being challenged by a teacher was the start of what would become more than 400 work days by former Florida governor and United States senator Bob Graham.
Graham died Tuesday night at the age of 87, according to his family.
To some, it may have seemed a campaign gimmick. To Graham, it was real work and a real way to connect with people up and down the spectrum of life, work and politics in Florida.
“While he valued his opportunities to represent others in public office, the jobs Bob Graham most loved were those he spent working alongside everyday Floridians,” his family said in a Tuesday night statement. “His more than 400 workdays, in occupations ranging from construction to farming to hospitality, created wonderful friendships across the state and forever changed his perspective on Florida and his approach to public service.”
A bipartisan bill designed to protect children from online sexual exploitation is headed to President Biden's desk. Proposed by Senators Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and Marsha Blackburn (R-SC), the bill aims to strengthen the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's (NCMEC) CyberTipline. When an online service provider detects child sexual abuse material (CSAM), the platform is legally required to report it to the CyberTipline.
Making life better for people with disabilities is a laudable goal, but accessibility tech hasn't traditionally been popular among VCs. In 2022, disability tech companies attracted around $4 billion in early-stage investments, which was a fraction of fintech’s intake, for example. One reason is that disability tech startups are often considered too niche to attain business viability -- at least on the scale that venture capital demands.
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission said on Monday that it is fining the four U.S. major wireless carriers around $200 million in total for “illegally” sharing and selling customers’ real-time location data without their consent. AT&T’s fine is more than $57 million, Verizon’s is almost $47 million, T-Mobile’s is more than $80 million, and Sprint’s is more than $12 million, according to the FCC’s announcement.

Shinkei is working to improve it with an automated system that more humanely and reliably dispatches the fish, resulting in what could be a totally different seafood economy. On many fishing vessels, fish are left to suffocate on the deck, flopping about and injuring themselves, resulting in a higher likelihood of bacterial infection, shorter shelf life and worse taste. The machine holds the fish in place, identifies the species and shape, and from there can determine where exactly the brain is, which it spikes quickly and accurately.
