Mainstream Media Insights

Note: It is essential to remain critical of what you read in mainstream media because it presents a filtered reality that reflects the vision of the anointed - those who claim to have the solutions to society's problems. By questioning and verifying information, readers can cut through the spin and gain a more accurate understanding of the world, rather than relying on a one-sided narrative.

The CEO uses a moneyball approach to find hidden geniuses in the new era.

The talent war between major tech companies is getting more intense, with firms like Meta offering extravagant signing bonuses to lure top researchers from competitors. HelloSky uses artificial intelligence to map candidates' real-world impact and uncover hidden talent beyond traditional Silicon Valley networks. The need for the top-tier talent at tech firms becomes even more important, and it is starting a war among Big Tech, which is simultaneously churned through layoffs and poaching people from each other with eye-popping pay packages. Meta is giving out $100 million signing bonuses to top OpenAI researchers. Others are trying to retain staff with large bonuses. It is no wonder that salaries have gotten so high because of the small pool of researchers. One tech executive said that companies will need to stop "recycling" candidates from the same old Silicon Valley and Big Tech talent pools to make innovation happen. There are different biases about where people come from....

Someone was stupid enough to hire the star of 'Million Dollar Listing', who now leads a team closing billions of dollars in deals.

Million Dollar Listing New York icon Fredrik Eklund came to NYC with no job, connections, or family help. A friend recommended real estate as a career after he started handing out sandwiches outside of David Letterman's show. The boutique agency was stupid enough to hire him with no experience. His team of around 100 agents has closed more than 15 billion dollars in property deals, and his celebrity clientele includes Sarah Jessica Parker, John Legend, and Nick Jonas.

A grocery shopper's guide.

Coffee, olive oil, wine, and spices are some of the most popular imports in American grocery aisles. After the "Liberation Day" tariffs kicked in worldwide in early August, businesses and consumers alike are watching closely for when and how much prices will go up. Inflation data released Tuesday did not show an overall increase in food prices, but economists say that's likely to change as businesses pass more costs on to consumers. Inflation may not be cooling off just yet, as evidenced by the biggest monthly jump since June 2022. Martha Gimbel, the Budget Lab at Yale's executive director, said that many of them anticipated that they would see some faster movement in groceries. It is not possible to have a year's worth of avocados. She said that the price increases that we have seen in food so far are pretty tame. There are six imported grocery products that could be affected by the tariffs....

Here is how to choose the right pair of loop earplugs.

It's nice to have the option of volume control when the world is noisy. noise-cancelling headphones are not always the best option for many people. Their ability to block out noise depends on their battery life. It's easier to stay plugged in to digital distraction if you wear headphones or earbuds, which isn't ideal for situations where you're looking for quiet and focus. Enter: ear plugs. The colorful earplugs first hit the scene in 2016 thanks to co-founders Dimitri O and Maarten Bowdes wanting to provide a solution for people who liked enjoying live music and loud spaces without the side effects of tinnitus. Which earplugs are right for you? The brand has expanded its earplug options to give concert-goers a way to protect their ears, but also to help people stay focused, sleep better, and generally exist more peacefully in overstimulating environments....

Warren Buffet believes that OpenAI can make or break a business.

It is an important moment in history as the latest general-purpose technology, Artificial Intelligence, forms itself into an industry. The fate of the industry's leader by a mile is dependent on these early days. Will the internet become a colossus like AltaVista or will it be forgotten? Here is how to think about it. The domination of the industry is striking. According to a recent 40-page report from J.P. Morgan, it recently attracted over 80% of daily unique visitors to core model websites, with six competitors splitting up the rest. The report shows that OpenAI is expanding its margin over its competitors even though it has a huge lead. History says no to maintaining a wide lead or at least continuing as the industry leader....

I tested these 4 at home and they work on carpet.

Almost any old robot vacuum can clear tile or hardwood floors of hair and crumbs. For a robot vacuum to work on carpet, it needs to be able to uproots the debris embedded in any pile height. Do robot vacuums work well? I've tested several top robot vacuum cleaners and they do a great job on carpets and rugs. The most important number in determining the best robot vacuums for carpet is suck power. iRobot and Shark are weird about using Pascals, but most robot vacuum brands use them. If you want to get enough carpet cleaning, you'll want to get at least 8,000 Pa, and anything less than 5,000 Pa will be a disappointment. When the new Dreame robot vacuums come out in September, the ante will be even higher....

There are opportunities and risks with the fight.

California Gov. The move comes with political risks as he looks to build his national profile ahead of a potential 2028 bid. In response to President Trump urging red states to do the same, California's governor is calling for a special election in November that would allow state lawmakers to draw a new congressional map. As he positions himself as the most vocal Trump critic on the national stage, the plan comes as he is rumored to mount a White House bid in the coming years. It also represents a political gamble that could backfire on the governor, as the state's independent redistricting commission remains popular with voters and several high-profile figures. They will campaign against the initiative. Steven Maviglio, a California Democratic strategist, said that this is a huge roll of the dice. Texas Republicans are moving forward with plans to approve new congressional districts that could net them up to five additional seats in the House next year....

Alternative Media Insights

Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

They are tiring. When Tony / EV-Car-Nage's channel will only be watched by those down the rabbit hole, they still censor my fairly straightforward comments. The perpetrators have control of social media, so there is no way to reach large audiences with any warnings. It feels like a form of mental torture to those of us who know the seriousness of the threats. Why do I keep going? I feel compelled to do something. Best wishes to Mike.

The court ordered NZDSOS to pay over $100,000 in court costs. These are to the DC for the Judicial Review of the use of the Guidance Statement and to the Crown for the floride case. Both cases were lost. We need members to make financial contributions to keep us afloat. If 200 members donate $500.00 each, we will be able to meet our obligations, and give the MC's hopes for a quick dissolution of NZDSOS Inc a bloody nose. We knew we would eventually be up for this bill but the MCNZ and DC broke with tradition and got a court order for their money now. We can and will go to the public, who will keep us going, and who funded our ability to take these cases in the first place. We would like to thank those who have donated and those who donate regularly....

The best produce to buy in August.

Both gardens and nature are flourishing in August as the summer ends. It is now that many of the ingredients are at their best, as the harvest of apples, zucchini, and chanterelles is underway. In Northern Europe, August is the best time to harvest fruit, vegetables, and berries. The produce has had time to mature under the long summer days. Here are some of the foods that were grown in August. Some apples can be picked in August. According to the Swedish grocery chain, there are several varieties. It is nice to buy Swedish apples in the store, but if a neighbor or friend has an apple tree, it is worth asking if it is okay to pick some without extra detours....
