NASA may lose close to 4,000 employees after latest deferred resignation round

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-02 11:44:52

The second round of deferred resignations for NASA staff closed on Friday, and the agency says roughly 3,000 employees applied to leave, according to Bloomberg . The Trump administration first offered the deferred resignation program as a buyout to government workers in January as it gutted the federal workforce under the guidance of DOGE — then led by Elon Musk — asking employees to resign while still receiving benefits and pay for a period of time. In the earlier round, 870 NASA employees repo

Britain's spies-for-hire are running wild

“That is quite unusual,” said a third private intelligence figure, adding that in the U.S. people are “very open” about having worked for the CIA. America has a “semi-retirement model where when you’re moving out of the agency, you’ll probably spend about six or seven years subcontracting back, and then you’ll finally move into the private sector.” “We don’t do things like that here at all. So, Vauxhall [MI6] will almost never outsource meaningful intelligence work to the private sector,” they

Katharine Graham: The Washington Post

The Knowledge Project Podcast When Katharine Graham took over the Washington Post in 1963, she was a shy socialite who’d never run anything. By retirement, she’d taken down a president, ended the most violent strike in a generation, and built one of the best-performing companies in American history. Graham had no training, no experience, not even confidence. Just a newspaper bleeding money and a government that expected her to fall in line. Public Release: July 29. Members have access now .

Formal specs as sets of behaviors

news.ycombinator.com Lorin Hochstein 2025-08-02 11:13:55

Amazon’s recent announcement of their spec-driven AI tool, Kiro, inspired me to write a blog post on a completely unrelated topic: formal specifications. In particular, I wanted to write about how a formal specification is different from a traditional program. It took a while for this idea to really click in my own head, and I wanted to motivate some intuition here. In particular, there have been a number of formal specification tools that have been developed in recent years which use programmi
