Zuckerberg given 24 hours to stop disinformation about Hamas attack - Fortune

The European Union has set a 24-hour deadline for Meta to tackle a wave of disinformation that has hit the platform since Hamas’ Saturday attack on Israel.

In a letter to Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg that was later shared on social media, the bloc’s domestic market head reminded Meta of its requirements to moderate content in line with the EU Digital Services Act (DSA).

Thierry Breton, EU Commissioner for Internal Market, told Zuckerberg his platform had to prove it had taken “timely, diligent and objective action” to limit the spread of disinformation.

Wind Power Will Expand with Larger Turbines but Could Face Pushback - Scientific American

With the expansion of wind power—and the growth of turbines—comes challenges in areas that are unaccustomed to whirring blades

CLIMATEWIRE | What scientists call the Wind Belt may soon expand with the arrival of taller wind turbines and new construction techniques that could result in an 80 percent increase in U.S. land-based clean energy over the next 10 years.

“This could go a long way toward helping the nation meet its clean energy goals,” researchers with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) found in a recent study.

Your Sweaters Are Garbage - The Atlantic

The quality of knitwear has cratered. Even expensive sweaters have lost their hefty, lush glory.

In much of the United States, you can already feel it. There’s a hint of a chill in the night air. The morning light looks somehow more golden. The pumpkin-spice latte has finished its annual transit across the cosmos and returned to its home at your local Starbucks. Sweater weather approaches. Cooler temperatures bring rich textures and many layering opportunities. What this time of year no longer brings to most people, though, is amazing new sweaters. Or even good ones.

With apologies for describing a tweet, the comedian Ellory Smith made much the same point a few weeks ago on the platform formerly known as Twitter: With side-by-side photos of Billy Crystal wearing an ivory cable-knit fisherman sweater in 1989’s When Harry Met Sally and the actor Ben Schwartz re-creating the image in a similar outfit, Smith sounded an alarm: “The quality of sweaters has declined so greatly in the last twenty years that I think it genuinely necessitates a national conversation.” Her tweet racked up a couple hundred thousand likes because she’s exactly right. So let’s have that conversation.

How to Evaluate a Job Candidate’s Critical Thinking Skills in an Interview - Harvard Business Review

The oldest and still the most powerful tactic for fostering critical thinking is the Socratic method, developed over 2,400 years ago by Socrates, one of the founders of Western philosophy. The Socratic method uses thought-provoking question-and-answer probing to promote learning. It focuses on generating more questions than answers, where the answers are not a stopping point but the beginning of further analysis. Hiring managers can apply this model to create a different dialogue with candidates in a modern-day organization.

Hiring is one of the most challenging competencies to master, yet it is one of the most strategic and impactful managerial functions. A McKinsey study quantified that superior talent is up to eight times more productive, showing that the relationship between talent quality and business performance is dramatic. Organizations seeking growth or simply survival during difficult times must successfully recruit A-list talent, thought leaders, and subject matter experts. This is often done under time constraints as you must quickly fill a key position. Essentially you are committing to a long-term relationship after a few very short dates.

Now let’s consider the typical process of hiring talent. The primary tool we use to assess talent is a set of job interviews. The typical interview process is a Q&A format where some version of the common questions are asked of the candidate: Tell us about your background. Why do you want to work for us? Share a challenge you faced at work and how you dealt with it. What are you most proud of? What impact have you had? Why are you the best person for the job? What is your greatest achievement? What are your weaknesses?
