Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 06:57:38 GMT

By Dan Pelosi, The New York TimesA marinara-stained kitchen timer ticks as Donna Berzatto choreographs a complex dance of dishes around limited oven space. “I need you to remember to put the Rockefellers in, and take out the artichokes, which leaves an open oven,” she commands her son Carmy. “I need you to put the branzino on the top and let it broil and get that nice little crispy bit.”The alarm buzzes again and again and again, a metaphor for the ticking time bomb of family drama brewing during preparations for the Christmas Eve tradition of the Feast of the Seven Fishes. The scenes of the high-intensity cooking feat, from the latest season of the popular FX television series “The Bear,” delivered an emotionally heightened portrayal of a tradition dear to many Italian American families. The 67 anxiety-inducing minutes probably didn’t inspire anyone to tackle the celebratory meal.This is unfortunate because the food is amazing, and the kitchen drama is part of what makes it all wor...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 06:57:38 GMT

By Jordan Valinsky | CNNNew York — Rite Aid has agreed to a five-year ban from using facial recognition technology after the Federal Trade Commission found that the chain falsely accused customers of crimes and unfairly targeted people of color.The FTC and Rite Aid reached a settlement Tuesday after a complaint accused the chain of using artificial intelligence-based software in hundreds of stores to identify people Rite Aid “deemed likely to engage in shoplifting or other criminal behavior” and kick them out of stores – or prevent them from coming inside.But the imperfect technology led employees to act on false-positive alerts, which wrongly identified customers as criminals.

Some customers were wrongly detained and subjected to searches, the FTC said.Rite Aid said in a statement that it’s “pleased to reach an agreement” with the FTC but add...
