☀️ Good morning from The Legal File! Here is the rundown of today's top legal news: 📝 Trump administration appeals ruling on releasing New York City tunnel funds REUTERS/Kylie Cooper U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on February 8 appealed against a decision requiring the Transportation Department to unfreeze federal funding for the $16 billion Hudson Tunnel Project in New York, according to a court filing. U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas on February 6 issued a preliminary injunction that requires the federal government to release funds for a project to overhaul critical rail infrastructure in New York and New Jersey. The Trump administration filed a notice of appeal on February 8. The Transportation Department said in September that it froze the funding pending a review of the project's compliance with new federal prohibitions against race- and sex-based considerations in contracting decisions. Trump offered last month to unfreeze the funds, a source said, in return for support from Democrats to rename Washington Dulles Airport and New York's Penn Station after him. Democrats strongly criticized the offer. The Gateway Project is intended to build a new commuter rail tunnel between Manhattan and New Jersey and repair a century-old tunnel used by more than

This article was originally published in Rest of World, which covers technology’s impact outside the West. LinkedIn job scams have become a borderless epidemic, preying on the hopes of desperate job seekers and costing victims across the globe anywhere from a few hundred dollars to $25,000. While the Microsoft-owned professional networking platform connects millions of users to opportunities, it also serves as a shared hunting ground for fraudsters. From Nairobi and Lagos to Mumbai and Mexico City, a review of the fraudulent schemes reveals a crucial layer often missed: Scammers are masterfully tailoring their tactics to specific cultural expectations, industry trends, and economic pressures. In India, tech jobs are used as bait because the industry employs millions of people and offers high-paying roles. In Kenya, the recruitment industry is largely unorganised, so scamsters leverage fake personal referrals. In Mexico, bad actors capitalise on the informal nature of the job economy by advertising fake formal roles that carry a promise of security. In Nigeria, scamsters often manage to get LinkedIn users to share their login credentials with the lure of paid work, preying on their desperation amid an especially acute unemployment crisis. In its transparency report for July-December 2024, LinkedIn said

A young woman wearing headphones browses vintage vinyl records in a store. Mihailomilovanovic | E+ | Getty Images Account manager Matt Richards, 23, deleted all his social media apps from his phone last year, and was surprised to find that his life changed for the better. Richards had been using a smartphone since he was 11 years old and grew up with the device like most Gen Z and millennials. However, in the past few years, he noticed social media didn't feel as fun anymore with artificial-intelligence slop dominating his feed, influencers advertising brands, and constant lifestyle comparison. "I think people back then used to take a break from the real world by going on their phone, but now people are taking a break from their phone to spend time in the real world," Richards told CNBC Make It. As many of his Gen Z friends also caught on, he noticed instant benefits, from connecting with people in real life to feeling more confident about himself. Going chronically offline is the latest trend to grip young people, and ironically it's going viral on social media. There's been a surge of TikTok videos of people vowing to delete social media apps

LinkedIn has redesigned its static application security testing pipeline (SAST) to provide consistent, enforceable code scanning across a GitHub-based, multi-repository development environment. The initiative was a result of the company's shift-left strategy by delivering fast, reliable, and actionable security feedback directly in pull requests, strengthening the security of LinkedIn's code and infrastructure and helping protect members and customers. At a high level, SAST analyzes source code to identify potential vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle. At LinkedIn's scale, legacy approaches that relied on multiple disconnected scanners and custom integrations resulted in uneven coverage, limited visibility into pipeline health, and friction for developers. The redesign aimed to standardize scanning, simplify adoption, and more deeply embed security into developer workflows without introducing bottlenecks. At the start of the redesign, LinkedIn engineers established key guiding principles, prioritizing developer-first security to minimize workflow interruptions, extensibility to allow other teams to add rules or integrations, resilience to prevent failures from affecting developers, and observability to monitor coverage and performance at scale. The new architecture leverages GitHub Actions to orchestrate two primary scanning engines, CodeQL and Semgrep, chosen for their complementary coverage and extensibility. LinkedIn engineers implemented custom workflows to manage rule execution, orchestrate scanning, and

Without question, when addressing job seekers or people navigating career transition about the virtues of LinkedIn visibility and positioning, someone will ask about the green banner that reads, “Open to Work.” Is it a good idea to add it to your profile photo? Does it help you get found and seen by recruiters? Does it scream of desperation? Many of us who teach about using LinkedIn have differing opinions on the banner, which was introduced by LinkedIn during the COVID pandemic to aid job seekers. Personally, I am not a fan. To me, the banner should not be needed to get a recruiter’s attention, might limit your networking possibilities (if those you seek to connect with worry that you’ll hit them up for leads and a job), and can feel distracting. My reasoning is this: Your personal brand and value proposition should be prominently displayed on and throughout LinkedIn. From your profile photo, About section and how you describe your experience and skills, to your network and the content you share, I should get a clear idea of who you are, what you can offer, and what you’re looking for. I should believe that what you say is true, that

In this episode of the Agent Factory , Smitha Kolan and Vlad Kolesnikov are joined by Brandon Hancock, a full-stack engineer and the creator behind the YouTube channel AI with Brandon , where he teaches AI concepts to over 80,000 developers. This was a very special recording, taking place just hours after Google released several major updates, including the new flagship model Gemini 3 , the Antigravity coding environment, and updates to the Gemini CLI . We spent the episode exploring these new tools through live demonstrations. Gemini 3 and Gemini CLI Gemini 3 is Google's newest flagship model, designed for advanced high-level reasoning and complex agentic operations, making it ideal for orchestration. Gemini CLI is a command-line interface that allows developers to interact with Gemini models directly from their terminal. It supports piping inputs and outputs, making it a powerful tool for chaining prompts and building lightweight "AI employees" without complex infrastructure. Building a Personal Portfolio with Gemini 3 Pro Timestamp: 01:18 Smitha kicked off the demos by using Google AI Studio and Gemini 3 Pro to build a personal website from scratch in minutes. The goal was to convert a LinkedIn profile into a deployed portfolio site. Input
