How job surveillance is transforming trucking in America

Automation is coming for truckers – but first, they're being watched.\n\nSubscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO\n\nThe promise of self-driving trucks will radically reshape one of America's most common jobs. There are 3.5 million professional drivers in the US, all of whom may face job displacement in the autonomous future being developed by companies like Otto, Daimler, and Tesla. But before robots take the wheel entirely, there will be a long period where truckers and artificial technology split the responsibilities of the work. The first big step toward that future comes in the form of the electronic logging device, a dashboard monitor that tracks speed, location, and a driver's schedule, and reports it to an employer or a third-party monitoring service. It has a lot of truckers worried. \n\nRead Karen Levy's work here: \nhttps://goo.gl/XHYuvv \nhttps://goo.gl/BVJWmY\n\nRead the FMCSA's report on ELD safety:\nhttps://goo.gl/ydYx1R\n\nRead the NAS report on driving fatigue:\nhttps://goo.gl/VJVZMa\n\nVox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

Some in Silicon Valley are even calling for a basic minimum income provided by the government for everyone, under the assumption that work will become scarce. But many economists are skeptical of these claims, because the notion that the the economy offers a fixed amount of work has been debunked time and time again over the centuries and current economic data show no signs of a productivity boom. Fortunately, we don't need to divine the future of the labor market in order to prepare for it. \n\n///\n\nVox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

Why Jerusalem can make or break peace between Israelis and Palestinians

How President Trump's Jerusalem announcement upsets the status quo.\n\nSubscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO\n\nBoth Israelis and Palestinians consider Jerusalem as their rightful capital. Jerusalem is home to important holy sites for all the Abrahamic religions, and so it has become a critical bargaining chip in the ongoing discussion between Israelis and Palestinians. \n\nPresident Trump's administration announced in 2017 that it would officially recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and that it planned to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. This would make the U.S. the only country in the world with an embassy to Israel in Jerusalem - there are currently various consulates, but no embassies. The announcement spurred condemnation from various countries, including U.S. allies, and has quickly become a political flashpoint of the Middle East.\n\nVox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

How Technicolor changed movies

What was glorious Technicolor? It was a groundbreaking technology — but it was more than that, too.\n\nFind an extra commentary video here:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJCtHs-dh0M\n\nTo learn more, check out:\nThe George Eastman Museum: https://eastman.org/\nBarbara Flueckiger's website: http://zauberklang.ch/filmcolors/\n\nFollow Phil Edwards on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/philedwardsinc1/\n\nIn this episode of Vox Almanac, Phil Edwards explores the history of Technicolor: both the technology and the company. Many people recognize Technicolor from The Wizard of Oz, but the technology existed long before then. Two strip Technicolor and three strip Technicolor both revolutionized the film industry and shaped the look of 20th century film.\n\nBut Technicolor also influenced movies through its corporate control of the technology. People like Natalie Kalmus shaped the aesthetic of color films, and directors redesigned their sets and films based on the Technicolor look that the company — and viewers — demanded.\n\nThough the process we traditionally recognize as Technicolor is no longer in use (the company does continue), the look remains influential even today.\n\nSubscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO\n\nVox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

Timelapse shows Bali volcano Mount Agung spewing ash after minor eruptions

Bali's Mount Agung volcano erupted on Saturday evening and three times early on Sunday, lighting its cone with an orange glow and sending ash 4,000 metres into the atmosphere. The second eruption has intensified the watch for a more serious explosion. The eruptions temporarily disrupted some international flights to the popular Indonesian island tourist destination, but the volcano’s alert status has not been increased from the second-highest level and authorities said the island remained safe \n • Bali: Mount Agung volcano monitored after second eruption

Where babies in movies come from

What hoops do you have to jump through to cast a baby in your movie?\n\nSubscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO\n\nThere are many rules and regulations involved in casting babies in movies. Babies have been in film since the birth of cinema, but many of the practices have changed since then. Some states like California have very stringent rules about baby employment on film sets. But the regulations are on a state by state basis and vary wildly. We spoke with a baby agent about what you have to do in order to cast a baby in your movie.\n\nVox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.
