Proposal to Ban Ghost Jobs: The Truth in Job Advertising and Accountability Act

news.ycombinator.com Jennifer Liu 2025-11-04 16:27:51

When Eric Thompson lost his job in October 2024 and started looking for a new one, he began a drawn-out battle with something many job seekers have come to know too well: the dreaded ghost job. He became so fed up with the practice that he's put together a working group to propose the Truth in Job Advertising and Accountability Act, or federal legislation that would make the practice illegal. The first time Thompson, 53, heard the term "ghost job," it was 2023 and his friend was discussing apply

Bridging the Governance Gap: AI, Risk, and Enterprise Innovation

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-11-04 18:00:05

Artificial intelligence (AI) is redrawing the boundaries of IT governance. Traditional frameworks built around predictability, transparency, and linear systems are ill-suited to AI and machine learning models’ dynamic, opaque, and constantly evolving nature. As organizations expand AI applications across critical sectors like healthcare, finance, and public services, the friction between innovation and oversight grows more pronounced. Without a reimagined governance strategy, these gaps can hind

AT&T is spending $23 billion on new spectrum, but what will it do with it?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR AT&T will pay roughly $23B to acquire 30 MHz of 3.45 GHz (mid-band) and 20 MHz of 600 MHz (low-band) spectrum from EchoStar/Dish, and the companies say they’ll deepen Boost’s wholesale access agreement with AT&T’s network. Details on the enhanced MVNO deal are vague, but it likely means Boost will lean more on AT&T coverage; priority/QoS improvements are possible but unconfirmed.
