I've signed up to participate in #podapalooza, an online, pay-what-you-can podcast festival that benefits Give Directly's fund that gives $1,000 grants to families in need.

It's 24h of episodes from a range of podcasters, including me. I'm podcasting an hour of a new reading of my novel "Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town," a novel that Gene Wolfe called "a glorious book unlike any book you've ever read."

It's a very impressive lineup, with something for everybody (even kids' podcasts!).

The event runs Apr 25/6, but the podcasts are (obviously) available for you to listen whenever. Pay-what-you-can tix here:

The Australian National University is insisting that students install "invigilation" software that monitors their computer use to prevent cheating during tests.

This is incredibly worrisome.

These exam proctoring are typically rootkits that sink incredibly deep hooks into the OS, and it's not really feasible for students to determine whether these tools have been fully removed, or even whether they're currently operating.

2/
That's by design: proctoring tools have to run with more privilege
than even root users have, so they can detect cheating tools.

This has broad implications, especially for nonacademic uses of the
laptops that have these tools installed.

Congress has appointed just one person to oversee the $2.2 trillion stimulus. That person has no staff, office, or colleagues. He communicates with the public solely by his Twitter account.

His name is Bharat Ramamurti, and he just got his blue tick.



1/
Ramamurti, a former Warren staffer, is the sole member of the Congressional Oversight Commission. He also oversees the Main Street Lending Facility, which offers federal loans to businesses with fewer than 10k employees/$2.5B in revenues.

2/
He must prepare and release a report on the stimulus spending within 30 days. The other committee positions remain vacant because Nancy Pelosi Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell have failed to make their appointments, and Pelosi and McConnell have not jointly chosen a chair.
