As AI raises new fears about a jobless future, it’s helpful to consider how economists’ understanding of technology and labor has evolved. For decades, economists were relatively optimistic, and pointed out that previous waves of technology had not led to mass unemployment. But as income inequality rose in much...

Technology tamfitronics A Virginia-based technology company will pay more than $38,000 in penalties for posting a discriminatory job advertisement that only sought to hire White U.S. citizens, the Justice Department announced.Arthur Grand Technologies Inc., a firm that provides information technology services, in March 2023 posted a job advertisement for a business analyst position on the hiring site Indeed that asked in a bolded note for “Only Born US Citizens who are local within 60 miles from Dallas,” according to a Justice Department news release. “Don’t share with candidates,” the advertisement read in brackets. Outrage quickly followed when the job posting was shared on social media.

Technology tamfitronics MainIntravital imaging1,2,3,4,5,6,7 is vital for studying diverse physiopathological processes, such as brain functions and immune responses, which necessitates high spatiotemporal resolution, high fidelity and low phototoxicity to capture fine structures and transient three-dimensional (3D) dynamics non-invasively8,9,10,11,12,13. An essential difference between in vitro and in vivo imaging is the presence of intense background fluorescence originating from out-of-focus signals and autofluorescence in scattered tissue or densely labeled samples, which poses a fundamental constraint on the imaging fidelity14,15,16. Confocal microscopy17,18,19 is the most widely used technique to address this problem with optical sectioning. By rejecting the out-of-focus fluorescence with a pinhole, slit or pinhole array, only the in-focus photons within a very shallow depth...
