A reporter writes about a visit from the FBI in 2020, following his story about a hack, and the long-term personal impact, along with eroding press freedoms (Zack Whittaker/~this week in security~)

FBI agents visited my home about an article I wrote, and now I can't go to Mexico
Mexico formally requested the FBI's help in seeking answers about one of my stories. Having federal agents on my doorstep sparked my own years-long effort to pry information out of the FBI to explain why it came to my house to begin with.

The longest train journey in the EU
Anyone who has been following my work for a while knows I have long had a rather abstract discussion about the definition of the World's Longest Train Journey. I started calculating this back in 2021, after an incorrect map on Reddit went viral, and have updated my thoughts about it

A long time ago, when I was still going to school, I often thought about some class or other: "What's the point of this? I'm just wasting time on stuff I won't ever need. And my grades are going down because of it." So I supported all these bright ideas like having schools work the curriculum out with the industry.
Nowadays, I know better. The purpose of school is not to produce ready-made employees. It's to give people a wider perspective. Perhaps they won't use most of what they learn there, perhaps they'll have bad memories of some classes, but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that you learn how to learn, how to reason, how to think.
I hate what's been happening to schools lately. They are becoming conveyor belts: we throw children on them, throw specific knowledge at them and see what sticks, we do exams and classify them. We expect to get a thoughtless laborer at the end, someone ready to take a specific job immediately.
A human whose only purpose in life is mindless labor and mindless consumption. Metaphorically, someone who's just going to spend their time off by drinking beer in the front of the TV and breeding more babies. Babies who will eventually become more cogs in the machine, fueling the infinite growth, trying to prevent this mindless system from falling apart.

"By almost every measure, life is better than ever."
However, we often feel otherwise. And some people want us to believe otherwise.
The discrepancy is explained by Negativity Bias, Nostalgia Bias, and the slow but steady long-term overall improvements being shadowed by temporary setbacks.
Excellent explanation by Adrian Krebs.

Estland is voor Nederland al zo'n 15 jaar lang een voorbeeld als het gaat om digitale overheid. Talloze werkbezoeken zijn er ook al geweest. Zonder iets af te doen aan Estland. Met het continue noemen van Estland als "voorbeeld" wordt het in Nederland niet beter. Het is niet dat we niet weten of snappen wat we moeten doen, we doen het vaak gewoon niet..... #verzuchting

Nieuwe kabinet kijkt naar Estland om dienstverlening verder te digitaliseren
In Estland kan al jaren bijna alles digitaal, sinds vorig jaar zelfs scheiden. Nederland moet nog flinke stappen zetten, daarom kijkt het nieuwe kabinet naar het Estse systeem.
