The Markup

Ok let’s do this! For The Markup’s first Friday, we’re reading this piece which summarizes recent research into “algorithmic wage discrimination.” latimes.com/business/technolog

The finding is that gig companies are using algorithms to discover the lowest rate that people are willing to work for.

Tagging in our friends at @gbhnews @TexasObserver @damemagazine @STAT @mongabay @conversationus @thexylom and more to share a piece!

@themarkup @gbhnews @TexasObserver @damemagazine @STAT @mongabay @conversationus @thexylom the information disparity between Uber and an Uber driver is so big. Dynamic pricing on the consumer end is also going to be a problem.

It's another fabulous Friday! 🌞 📰

In our newsroom this week it's All Boston Marathon All The Time (well, not really, we cover everything relevant to our local audience too!)

It's the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing. We interviewed survivors...who had tons of wisdom for us about life: wgbh.org/news/local-news/2023/

We looked at the SCIENCE of marathoning. What would it take to break the 2-hour marathon record? 🔎 wgbh.org/news/local-news/2023/

Happy Friday!

For our story, check out a Mongabay analysis of the largest-ever private philanthropic campaign for biodiversity conservation, which has found about a quarter of the pledged $5 billion has already been allocated, but a lack of detail over exactly how some of the funds are being spent has raised concerns over transparency and accountability.

@themarkup @gbhnews @TexasObserver @damemagazine @STAT @mongabay @conversationus @thexylom Drivers should form co-ops, and the co-ops should develop an app that works like Uber.
