Anonymous Op-Ed in New York Times Causes a Stir Online and in the White House

President Trump greeting sheriffs from across the country on Wednesday, when The New York Times published an anonymous Op-Ed by a senior administration official who described a “quiet resistance” against the president.

In a highly unusual move that reverberated inside the West Wing and across the media spectrum, The New York Times on Wednesday published an Op-Ed article by an unnamed administration official that called President Trump “erratic” and described a “quiet resistance” of cabinet members who had whispered about taking steps to remove him from office.
It is exceedingly rare for The Times to grant anonymity to a writer on its Op-Ed pages, and the paper could cite only a handful of previous cases. But James Dao, the paper’s Op-Ed editor, said in an interview that the material in the essay was important enough to the public interest to merit an exception.
“This was a very strongly, clearly written piece by someone who was staking out what we felt was a very principled position that deserved an airing,” Mr. Dao said.
It took less than 90 minutes from the column’s publication — which prompted news channels to cut in with special reports and set off a frenzy among White House aides — for the president himself to go on live television and denounce the essay, its author and the news organization that published it.

We have somebody in what I call the failing New York Times talking about he’s part of the resistance within the Trump administration — this is what we have to deal with,” Mr. Trump said in the East Room of the White House, where reporters had gathered for a previously scheduled photo-op.

Mr. Trump called the essay “gutless” and said its anonymous author was “probably here for all the wrong reasons” — evoking, perhaps inadvertently, a popular phrase from the reality television show “The Bachelor.” The White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, later issued a statement deeming the Op-Ed piece “pathetic, reckless and selfish,” adding: “This coward should do the right thing and resign.”
Eileen Murphy, a Times spokeswoman, responded: “We are incredibly proud to have published this piece, which adds significant value to the public’s understanding of what is going on in the Trump administration from someone who is in a position to know.”
The Op-Ed article was submitted to Times opinion editors last week through an intermediary, Mr. Dao said. “It was clear early on that the writer wanted anonymity, but we didn’t grant anything until we read it and we were confident that they were who they said they were,” he said.
Mr. Dao declined to elaborate on the Op-Ed editors’ internal discussions, citing the need to protect the author’s identity. But news outlets and online forums were abuzz with speculation.Eileen Murphy, a Times spokeswoman, responded: “We are incredibly proud to have published this piece, which adds significant value to the public’s understanding of what is going on in the Trump administration from someone who is in a position to know.”

CNN cut into coverage of the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanaugh to analyze the Op-Ed article. Rachel Maddow called into MSNBC, hours before her prime-time slot, to say, “This feels like the end of something, and I don’t know what happens next.”
The Fox News website declared “Trump Wants a Name.” Media pundits questioned whether The Times had been right to grant anonymity. “This one is a P.R. stunt,” wrote Erik Wemple of The Washington Post.
And reporters and online commenters alike began dissecting the article’s language for clues about the identity of its author. Dan Bloom, a producer for the podcast company Panoply, noted on Twitter that the word “lodestar,” which appears toward the end, had popped up in speeches by Vice President Mike Pence. Hundreds of Twitter users retweeted his theory.
Other reporters recalled the 1990s-era efforts to unmask the author of “Primary Colors,” a roman à clef about Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign. The author was eventually revealed to be the journalist Joe Klein, after The Washington Post commissioned a handwriting analysis of notes in the margins of a manuscript.
Not every critic of Mr. Trump welcomed the piece’s publication.
David Jolly, a former Republican representative from Florida, said on MSNBC that if the author “wants to do something in service to the nation, you have to come forward and sign your name for this.” David Frum, the conservative writer whose latest book is “Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic,” mocked the writer’s motivations: “See, we only look complicit! Actually, we’re the real heroes of the story.”
The Times said it had published only a handful of anonymously written Op-Ed pieces, several of them by authors whose safety could be endangered if they were publicly identified.
One anonymous piece, published in June, was written by an undocumented immigrant facing deportation and gang-related threats. An Op-Ed article in 2009 was written by a student in Iran who, for reasons of safety, asked to be identified only by his first name.

The Times Op-Ed page operates independently of the paper’s newsroom and Washington bureau. The use of anonymous sources in the paper’s news articles is discouraged, allowed when newsworthy information cannot be otherwise confirmed.
By the evening, those who fretted that the Op-Ed article would inflame Mr. Trump had some evidence to support their theory. At 6:15 p.m., he posted a one-word tweet: “TREASON?” Shortly before 8 p.m., the president asked on Twitter if the author of the piece was merely “another phony source,” and he called on The Times to “turn him/her over to government at once!”

Air taxi to cut travel time in Mumbai by 90%: Uber

Uber had named Dallas and Los Angeles in the US as the first two cities for the commercial launch of its aerial taxi service by 2023 and has been on the lookout to select an international city as its third partner.

Uber has shortlisted five countries — India, Japan, Australia, Brazil and France — and one of them will become the first Uber Air City outside of the US.

Taxi hailing company Uber on Wednesday claimed that its air taxi can cut travel time in a congested city like Mumbai by 90%.

Uber has shortlisted five countries — India, Japan, Australia, Brazil and France — and one of them will become the first Uber Air City outside of the US.
Eric Allison, chief executive, Uber Aviation Program, illustrated that the 100-minute road journey from the city airport in the western suburbs to downtown Churchgate in south Mumbai can come down to 10 minutes using the futuristic service.
He added that the cost of flying through the service, which aims to use rooftops of high rises and erect dedicated ‘skyports’, will be at par with its taxis.
“This is the type of urban mobility game changer that this kind of solution brings. We think that once we are able to do it at scale as we are able to drive fully into it with the cost that these VTOL (vertical take-off landing) vehicles produce, we can do it at a cost comparable to our Uber X cost per passenger mile basis,” said Allison.
He gave a presentation on the service, explaining that the vehicles used for it are akin to helicopters with multiple rotors that will fly low to keep the airspace free for jets and also have low noise levels.
According to reports, Allison is slated to meet government officials in New Delhi Thursday for the service.
According to the company, it is targeting to have electric powered vehicles which will fly in congested cities and is hoping for developments in battery technology for making up to 100 kms trips.
It eventually plans to fly the vehicles automated, sans any drivers, to do many trips across cities.

Fortnite Servers Offline Ahead Of High Stakes 5.40 Update Release

The delayed High Stakes event is almost here.


Following a slight delay, Epic Games has started the process of deploying Fortnite's latest weekly update. Patch 5.40, which was originally slated to arrive earlier this week before the developer discovered a "critical controller issue" and postponed it, is rolling out for all platforms today, Thursday, September 6, marking the start of the recently teased High Stakes event.
As usual, the update will be preceded by a round of maintenance, during which time Fortnite's servers will be offline. The maintenance period is scheduled to begin early in the day at 1 AM PT / 4 AM ET / 9 AM BST. Epic hasn't revealed how long the downtime is estimated to last, but previous maintenance periods have typically been brief, generally running for an hour or two.
Once servers are back online, players will be able to dive into the changes coming as part of the update. Among other things, Epic is tweaking how the storm works. Specifically, the edge of the storm will now deal damage to player structures "in the final phases" of a match. The developer is also vaulting another weapon, the Revolver, as a way to "keep the item pool feeling fresh and dynamic."
No Caption Provided
Most notably, the update will kick off High Stakes, a heist-themed event that consists of a new limited-time mode called Getaway. In this mode, four safes are scattered around the map, and players must work together in teams of four to find them, pilfer the jewel they contain, and safely reach the extraction point.
Getaway will also be accompanied by its own set of High Stakes challenges. These are completed by participating in the LTM and dealing damage to opponents who are carrying a jewel. There are three High Stakes challenges in total, and those who manage to finish all of them before the event ends will earn a crowbar skin for their pickaxe.
High Stakes also introduces one new skin and four masks, which will be available to purchase from Fortnite's in-game store. Additionally, Epic is adding a new type of gun called the Grappler; like its name implies, players can fire the gun at a wall and quickly launch themselves toward it. Meanwhile, Week 9's challenges have also been slightly delayed; they are now scheduled to go live on Friday, September 7.
