The Labor Department is expected to deliver a historically bad employment report Friday, showing millions of jobs lost last month as the jobless rate soared to around 16% — the highest level since the Great Depression. Unemployment inched up to 4.4% in March as the coronavirus began to take hold in the United States. It approached 25% during the Great Depression and remained elevated until World War II. As painful as the report for April will be, it won't tell the full story of the economic wreckage left by the coronavirus and the government's drastic efforts to control it. The report is based on surveys conducted in the middle of April, and claims for jobless benefits suggest that millions of additional jobs have been lost since then. What's more, the headline unemployment figure includes only people who are actively looking for work and those on temporary furlough, ignoring millions more who have been involuntarily idled by the pandemic. Even with those limitations, the April

July fifth 2018 marks the fourth anniversary of "Two Way Street." To celebrate that milestone, we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations: an interview with Diana Nyad, the strong-willed swimmer who was the first to swim from Cuba to Florida without a protective shark cage. She completed the feat, which many thought was impossible, at the remarkable age of 66.

In honor of the Ken Burns series Country Music , Bill Nigut is taking over the On Second Thought Sunday time slot with a special edition of Two Way Street. This episode features his conversation with the legendary Brenda Lee, an artist featured in sections of the documentary.

Monty and Rose met last year on a beach on the north side of Chicago. Their attraction was intense, immediate, and you might say, fruitful. Somewhere between the roll of lake waves and the shimmer of skyscrapers overlooking the beach, Monty and Rose fledged two chicks. They protected their offspring through formative times. But then, in fulfillment of nature's plan, they parted ways, and left the chicks to make their own ways in the world. Monty and Rose are piping plovers, an endangered species of bird of which there may only be 6,000 or 7,000 in the world, including Monty, Rose and their chicks. They were the first piping plovers to nest in Chicago in more than 60 years. After their chicks fledged, they drifted apart. Rose went off to Florida for the winter, and Monty made his way to the Texas coast. They'd always have the North Side, but were each on their own in a huge, fraught world. And then, just a few days ago, Monty and Rose were sighted again, on the same patch of sand on

Amtrak is the latest transportation provider to require all passengers to wear facial coverings or masks to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, beginning Monday. The intercity passenger rail agency joins most of the nation's passenger airlines and many public transit systems in requiring coverings or face masks on passengers. Customers will have to "wear a facial covering over their nose and mouth while in stations, on trains and [Thruway] buses," Amtrak said in a news release. "Facial coverings can be removed when customers are eating in designated areas, in their private rooms, or seated alone or with a travel companion in their own pair of seats. Small children who are not able to maintain a facial covering are exempt from this requirement." "The safety of Amtrak's customers and employees is our top priority," Amtrak President and CEO Bill Flynn said in a statement, "and requiring a facial covering is one more way we can protect everyone." To maintain physical distancing on

Copyright 2020 NPR. To see more, visit DAVID GREENE, HOST: Often, a new monthly jobs report is of interest, you know, mostly to economists and policymakers. The one coming out today could be much more significant. NOEL KING, HOST: Right. Because of COVID-19, we could see the highest unemployment rate in this country since the Great Depression. GREENE: And let's talk about this moment with NPR's Scott Horsley. Hi, Scott. SCOTT HORSLEY, BYLINE: Good morning, David. GREENE: So how ugly do we think these numbers are going to be? HORSLEY: Very ugly. To put this in some perspective, David, the worst monthly job loss we saw during the Great Recession, the financial crisis, was 800,000. This morning's report is going to show job losses in the millions, maybe as many as 20 million. And as painful as that is, it's still not going to tell the full story of the economic wreckage that the coronavirus pandemic has been causing. GREENE: Why not? HORSLEY: Well, a couple of reasons.

This is a direct hire to my team, which is the client-facing arm of Superconductive. We're a really great company - a distributed team of kind, smart, interesting people who treat each other like human beings. Full job description is below - feel free to reach out with questions!

Our mission

Superconductive’s mission is to revolutionize the speed and integrity of data collaboration. We are the team behind Great Expectations, the leading open source tool for defeating pipeline debt through data testing, documentation, and profiling. Data teams all over the world use Great Expectations to boost the confidence, integrity, and speed of their work.


About the role

As a Data Engineer on Superconductive’s Enterprise Partnerships team, you will directly contribute to the success of our partnerships with enterprise clients. You will be responsible for owning the end-to-end process of designing, building, and deploying data pipelines, using Great Expectations for data validation and testing. As part of this, you will be exposed to a wide variety of clients, industries, and types of data infrastructure.


You will be expected to:

Develop a deep understanding of client needs and goals, as well as their existing data infrastructure
Design, build, and deploy different pieces of data pipeline infrastructure, such as tools for ETL, data warehousing, and workflow orchestration
Train our clients in best practices for building, maintaining, and validating their data pipelines
Synthesize learnings from client work and identify high value product improvements to feed back into Great Expectations


As part of Superconductive, you will also have opportunities to evangelize Great Expectations through conference talks, workshops, and blog posts, if you choose to do so.


Why join Superconductive?

Glad you asked!


We offer…

A world class team, with deep roots in open source, cutting-edge software and data development. We are actively cultivating a new cultural blend of excellent data engineering and AI-enabled technical workflows.

A fast-growing company with lots of opportunity for learning and personal growth.

A front-row seat to the rapid evolution of data science and engineering. Data work is going through a renaissance, and—as the leading provider of a key piece in the new technology ecosystem—Superconductive is right in the middle of it.

A kind, curious, and open-minded company culture. We are always seeking ways to improve ourselves and our processes; we keep these conversations open to the whole team. We prioritize empowering our team members rather than a command and control hierarchy.

A distributed team with lots of flexibility around timing and individual work preferences. We currently have teammates in the San Francisco Bay Area, Salt Lake City, New York, Michigan, North Carolina, and other places. We’d love to add your town.

And of course, competitive compensation (base salary + equity package) with available Medical, Dental, Vision & 401K.


Job requirements

Minimum two years of work experience as a data engineer or in a role with responsibilities including:
Design, implementation, and maintenance/management of data pipelines
Implementation and management of SQL databases

Proficiency in SQL and Python

Proficiency in engineering tools and best practices, such as version control and testing

Experience with data analytics and relevant tooling (e.g. Python data stack, R)

An excitement for interacting with clients and digging deep into new (to you) technologies and domains


Strong candidates for this role will most likely come from backgrounds in either data engineering or data science. We are looking for people with substantial experience building data pipelines, or experience developing software with a close affinity to data and analytics.


Great engineering is more than just technical proficiency. Our team is set up to support and build the following cultural skills. We don’t expect black-belt virtuosity. We do expect everyone to bring good ideas and habits, so that they can contribute to a collective culture of best practices.


Have data in your blood - the more curiosity you have about a wide variety of data from all walks of life, the better.

Communicate well—in writing, in person, and on Slack.

Be good at time management (e.g. estimating timelines, prioritizing tasks, avoiding rabbit holes, speaking up when you need help).

Possess keen antennae for the lived experience of technical work. We constantly seek out opportunities for delightful refactors to tools, workflows, and collaboration, gathering ideas from all team members.

Commit to a culture of transparency, cooperation, and mutual support in an entirely distributed team.

Play nice with others. Assholes need not apply.


Nice to haves

Experience in a client-facing role, e.g. sales engineering, implementations, forward deployed engineering

Project management experience

Experience with domain-specific data in multiple industries (e.g. healthcare, ad-tech, e-commerce)

Advanced skills in data analytics, statistics, or machine learning

Devops and data infrastructure skills are a plus (e.g. workflow orchestration tools, containerization)

Experience with software engineering, and possibly contributions to open source projects


Superconductive Health, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer. In compliance with Federal law and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 22.1800, the selected candidate will be required to provide documentation that will verify their identity and eligibility to work in the United States.

Die Corona-Krise verlangt auch von Eltern einiges ab. Sie müssen Kinderbetreuung und Beruf irgendwie zusammenbringen. Für Schulen gibt es bereits eine erste Perspektive, doch wie sieht es mit den Kitas aus?

Viel zu viele Schüler in Deutschland glauben an Fake News oder den Parolen politischer Parteien, bemängeln Bildungsforscher. Angesichts der Herausforderungen der Corona-Krise sei das mangelnde Demokratieverständnis besonders gefährlich.

Viele Eltern leiden aktuell unter großen finanziellen und emotionalen Sorgen. Das spüren ihre Kinder – egal wie alt sie sind. Familien sollten daher offensiv über die Krise reden. Denn mit den richtigen Antworten können Kinder jetzt viel fürs Leben lernen.

Arbeitssuche ist zermürbend, die Corona-Krise verschärft das Problem noch. Die Arbeitsämter sind zwar geschlossen, doch der Betrieb läuft und auch die Fristen gelten weiterhin. Was Ihnen in dieser Situation an staatlicher Hilfe zusteht.

AirPods sowie die neuen AirPods Pro zählen zu den High-End-Ohrhörern – was sie können und für wen sich die Anschaffung lohnt, erfahren Sie hier in unserem praktischen Überblick.

Trotz des Durchbruchs von digitalen Fotos sind Polaroids weiterhin beliebt. Denn mit den Sofortbildkameras halten Sie ihre Bilder gleich in der Hand. Hersteller entwickeln die Geräte immer weiter – und machen jetzt sogar das Handy zum mobilen Drucker.

Damit das Spielen detailreich und ohne Ruckeln abläuft, benötigen Konsolenzocker einen leistungsstarken Gaming-Fernseher mit guter Auflösung. Erfahren Sie hier, worauf beim Kauf eines guten Gaming-TV zu achten ist.

Bei der Smartphone-Wahl zählt für viele Nutzer heutzutage vor allem eines: Es muss beeindruckende Fotos machen können. Ein Handy mit guter Kamera zu finden, ist allerdings nicht immer leicht – worauf Sie bei der Wahl achten sollten und welche Modelle derzeit im Handel punkten können, erfahren Sie hier.

Sie möchten sich ein MacBook kaufen, aber welches? Informieren Sie sich hier über die Vorzüge der jeweiligen Modelle und erfahren Sie, worauf es bei der Anschaffung eines neuen Geräts ankommt.

Wer auf das Design von Apple verzichten kann und stattdessen vorrangig für technische Qualität zahlen möchte, kann statt teurer AirPods alternativ In-Ear-Kopfhörer-Modelle wählen. Viele Produkte leisten ebenso viel wie die angesagten weißen Earbuds und sehen dabei sogar genauso gut aus.

Sie brauchen eine neue Couch? Möbel kann man auch im Internet kaufen. Doch dabei gibt es einige rechtliche Tücken. Bei Lieferung, Rückgabe und Gewährleistung lohnt es sich, genauer hinzuschauen.

Die Vinyl-Schallplatte hat sich einen festen Platz im Musikmarkt zurückerobert. Das Angebot an Plattenspielern ist riesig. Der Test zeigt, dass bei neuen Modellen oft weniger mehr ist.

Kleine Gehäuse, gerade genug Leistung und günstige Preise: Netbooks waren vor zehn Jahren beliebt. Auch heute gibt es Notebooks, die auf diese Beschreibung passen. Der Test zeigt, welche sich lohnen.

Wer sein Haus nicht vererben möchte, kann es in eine lebenslange Rente umwandeln – ohne ausziehen zu müssen. Die Angebote dazu sind allerdings schwer vergleichbar. Drei Varianten können sich für unterschiedliche Eigentümer lohnen.

Abwrackprämien und Rabattaktionen haben der Wirtschaft nie geholfen, mitunter sogar geschadet, meint unser Autor. Er hat eine bessere Idee, wie wir die Hunderttausenden unverkauften Neuwagen loswerden – sozial gerecht und ökonomisch vernünftig.

No field trips. No game rooms. No teddy bears. These are some of the CDC's guidelines for reopening schools, childcare centers and day camps safely in places where coronavirus cases are on the decline. The guidance, which also covers restaurants, churches and other public places, was obtained by The Associated Press , which reports that the White House tried to keep it from coming to light. The New York Times quoted Mark Meadows, the chief of staff, as being concerned that the guidelines were "overly prescriptive." The CDC does not have authority to enforce its guidance, which is intended for public information only; the actual policy decisions are up to state and local governments. Schools are closed through the end of the school year throughout much of the country, with the exception of Montana, which welcomed a handful of students back this week. Child care protocols are different in different states. But millions of parents need child care so they can work, and socialization and

Der US-Außenminister behauptet, China habe das Corona-Virus aus einem Forschungslabor in Wuhan entweichen lassen. Dafür gebe es „enorme Beweise“. Doch die könnten auf einer ebenso plumpen Fälschung beruhen wie die „Beweise“, die 2003 den Irak-Krieg gerechtfertigt haben.

It took a plague to slow me down enough to realize a years-held dream: posting a new video to youtube every day (almost) of me playing the guitar and singing a song. Been at it for a couple of weeks now and it's going pretty good! Covers so far include Lucinda Williams, Woody Guthrie, Doc Watson, and Steven Universe, plus a bunch by Trad of Itional, and I would describe the musical style as crude but heartfelt. Hope you enjoy!
