id="article-section-1"><p dir="ltr"><em><small>Updated on September 19 at 3:15 p.m.</small></em></p><p dir="ltr">Just before 8 in the morning on Monday, cellphones chimed in unison across New York City. It wasn’t the sound of text messages: It was a dissonant siren, repeated six times, accompanied by a short note. “WANTED: Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28-yr-old male. See media for pic. Call 9-1-1 if seen.”</p><p dir="ltr">New Yorkers have received emergency alerts before. In extreme weather, like <a href="https://weather.com/storms/winter/news/winter-storm-jonas-forecast-blizzard-warning-january-22" data-omni-click="r'article',r'link',r'0',r'500591'">Jonas earlier this year</a>, the jarring tones have instructed people to move indoors and stay there. AMBER alerts, which use the same system, occasionally ask people to look out for abducted children in their area.</p><p dir="ltr">But the city never has sent an alert like this. Typically used only to keep people safe, the Monday alert asked New Yorkers to join the police’s search for a wanted man.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Well that's a new emergency alert experience <a href="https://t.co/EWgDSVvrHO" data-omni-click="r'article',r'link',r'1',r'500591'">pic.twitter.com/EWgDSVvrHO</a></p> — Hayes Brown (@HayesBrown) <a href="https://twitter.com/HayesBrown/status/777838543783751680" data-omni-click="r'article',r'link',r'2',r'500591'">September 19, 2016</a></blockquote><p dir="ltr">Emergency alerts in New York City come from the Office of Emergency Management, one of tens of thousands of “alert originators” in the country that are authorized to push alerts to mobile subscribers in their jurisdictions. The emergency-management office coordinates with other agencies in city government to send alerts, which must either be official AMBER alerts, or involve “imminent threats to safety or life.” (Weather-related alerts generally come from the National Weather Service.)</p></section><div class="ad-boxinjector-wrapper"><gpt-ad id="boxinjector1" targeting-pos="boxinjector1" class="ad ad-boxinjector" lazy-load="2" data-object-pk="1" data-object-name="boxinjector"><gpt-sizeset viewport-size="[0, 0]" sizes="[[300, 250], [320, 350], [300, 350], [1, 3], [320, 520], [320, 430], [1, 4]]"></gpt-sizeset><gpt-sizeset viewport-size="[760, 0]" sizes="[[728, 90], [728, 350], [1, 3], [768, 350], [768, 520], [640, 360], [760, 350], [1, 4]]"></gpt-sizeset><gpt-sizeset viewport-size="[1010, 0]" sizes="[[728, 90], [728, 350], [970, 250], [1, 3], [768, 350], [768, 520], [640, 360], [970, 350], [760, 350], [1, 4]]"></gpt-sizeset><gpt-sizeset viewport-size="[1050, 0]" sizes="[[728, 90], [728, 350], [970, 250], [1024, 350], [1, 3], [1600, 520], [1000, 350], [1600, 500], [970, 350], [760, 350], [1, 4]]"></gpt-sizeset></gpt-ad></div><section id="article-section-2"><p dir="ltr">At about 7:45 this morning, the New York Police Department reached out to the Office of Emergency Management to request that an alert be sent to all five boroughs in New York City about the primary suspect in a series of bombings in New York and New Jersey. Officials decided that the alert related to an imminent threat, and drafted and sent the alert within 15 minutes, a spokesperson for the NYC Office of Emergency Management said.</p><p dir="ltr">How did the push get sent so quickly? “We try to limit the approval process,” said Nancy Silvestri, the agency spokesperson. “We are empowered to make the decision locally.” That allows timely notifications to go out without being bogged down in red tape, she said.</p><p dir="ltr">Rahami was arrested in New Jersey after a shootout with police later Monday morning. It’s still unclear how police tracked him down.</p><p dir="ltr">The Monday alert was the second notification that had to do with the weekend’s bomb scare. When an explosion resounded in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood on Saturday, New York City officials sent an alert only to cellphone users around that neighborhood, warning them to stay away from windows. That alert was similar to an emergency warning sent after the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, which instructed people near the blast to shelter in place. (The Boston alert did not, however, identify a suspect.)</p><p dir="ltr">Officials are able to target cellphones in a specific area because of how the technology works: Once a local agency submits a wireless emergency alert and a specific area, it’s passed along to wireless carriers, which then send the messages to their customers from cell towers in the target zone. Most providers distribute the messages on a channel that’s separate from the usual ways cellphones receive voice, SMS, and other data from cell towers, in order to be able to deliver alerts even when voice and text channels are congested.</p></section><div class="ad-boxinjector-wrapper"><gpt-ad id="boxinjector2" targeting-pos="boxinjector2" class="ad ad-boxinjector" lazy-load="2" data-object-pk="1" data-object-name="boxinjector"><gpt-sizeset viewport-size="[0, 0]" sizes="[[300, 250], [320, 350], [300, 350], [1, 3], [320, 520], [320, 430], [1, 4]]"></gpt-sizeset><gpt-sizeset viewport-size="[760, 0]" sizes="[[728, 90], [728, 350], [1, 3], [768, 350], [768, 520], [640, 360], [760, 350], [1, 4]]"></gpt-sizeset><gpt-sizeset viewport-size="[1010, 0]" sizes="[[728, 90], [728, 350], [970, 250], [1, 3], [768, 350], [768, 520], [640, 360], [970, 350], [760, 350], [1, 4]]"></gpt-sizeset><gpt-sizeset viewport-size="[1050, 0]" sizes="[[728, 90], [728, 350], [970, 250], [1024, 350], [1, 3], [1600, 520], [1000, 350], [1600, 500], [970, 350], [760, 350], [1, 4]]"></gpt-sizeset></gpt-ad></div><section id="article-section-3"><p dir="ltr">New York City’s Office of Emergency Management was the very first alert originator to adopt the system when it was first introduced in 2012. Four years later, the technology has some of the same limitations. It only allows messages to include 90 characters—less than a tweet’s worth—and it doesn’t support attachments, like photos. (That’s why this morning’s alert had to point people to the media for the suspect’s photo.) Messages also can’t include tappable URLs or phone numbers.</p><p dir="ltr">Last year, the Federal Communications Commission tried to overhaul the alert system, but wireless carriers rebelled, <a href="https://motherboard.vice.com/read/why-homeland-security-unleashed-an-alien-virus-on-silicon-valley" data-omni-click="r'article',r'link',r'3',r'500591'"><em>Motherboard</em> reported last month</a>. The commission’s recommendations included extending alert lengths, enabling web links, and improving their crude geotargeting technology. The changes haven’t yet been adopted.</p><p dir="ltr">Because of the length limitations, Monday’s alert contained very little information about the suspect NYPD was looking for. People who went searching online for more about Rahami would have found a photo, and the description police shared with the media: A 5’6” 200-pound male with brown hair, brown eyes, and brown facial hair.</p><p dir="ltr">Some criticized the city’s decision to push the alert to the entire city.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">I didn't sign up for the NYC emergency alert system to be woken up by "join our paranoia about vaguely brown men."</p> — N.

He told students that one “staggering” statistic stood above the rest. "In 2015, 22 percent of lower-skilled men [those without a college degree] aged 21 to 30 had not worked at all during the prior twelve months,” he said.</p> <p dir="ltr">"Think about that for a second,” he went on. Twentysomething male high-school grads used to be the most dependable working cohort in America. Today one in five are now essentially idle. The employment rate of this group has fallen 10 percentage points just this century, and it has triggered a cultural, economic, and social decline. "These younger, lower-skilled men are now less likely to work, less likely to marry, and more likely to live with parents or close relatives,” he said.</p> </div> </div> <a class="read-more" href="/business/archive/2016/09/the-free-time-paradox-in-america/499826/" data-omni-click="inherit"> Continue Reading </a> <div itemprop="publisher" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Organization" style="display:none;"> <meta itemprop="name" value="The Atlantic"> <div itemprop="logo" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <meta itemprop="url" value="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/static/a/theatlantic/common/img/logo-black.c2cba3f6478a.png"> <meta itemprop="width" value="150"> <meta itemprop="height" value="50"> </div> </div> </li> <li class="most-popular-article " itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/NewsArticle"> <a href="/politics/archive/2016/09/what-women-lost/500537/" class="article-link" data-article-id="500537" data-omni-click="inherit" itemprop="mainEntityOfPage"> <figure class="lead-img" itemprop="image" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <img data-src="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/mt/2016/09/Harris_Ewing_Library_of_Congress_Zak_Bickel_The_Atlantic/hero_wide_640.jpg?1474284312" alt="" class="lazyload" src="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/mt/2016/09/Harris_Ewing_Library_of_Congress_Zak_Bickel_The_Atlantic/hero_wide_640.jpg?1474284312"> <meta itemprop="url" value="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/mt/2016/09/Harris_Ewing_Library_of_Congress_Zak_Bickel_The_Atlantic/hero_wide_640.jpg?1474284312"> <meta itemprop="width" value="640"> <meta itemprop="height" value="400"> <figcaption class="credit">Harris & Ewing / Library of Congress / Zak Bickel / The Atlantic</figcaption> </figure> <h3 class="hed" itemprop="headline">What America Lost as Women Entered the Workforce</h3> </a> <ul class="metadata"> <li class="byline"><span itemprop="author" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="/author/emma-green/" itemprop="url" title="Emma Green"><span itemprop="name">Emma Green</span></a></span></li> </ul> <meta itemprop="datePublished" value="2016-09-19T10:58:06"> <meta itemprop="dateModified" value="2016-09-19T17:38:38"> <div itemprop="description" class="article-content "> <p class="dek">Civic organizations were built on the voluntary labor of women. As the demands on women's time increase, communities are suffering.</p> <div class="excerpt"> <p>It’s a shame that Phyllis Schlafly had a corner on skepticism about women’s liberation. “Why should we trade in our special privileges and honored status for the alleged advantage of working in an office or assembly line?” the conservative crusader, perhaps best known for her successful campaign against the Equal Rights Amendment, asked in 1972. “Most women would rather cuddle a baby than a typewriter or a factory machine.”</p> <p>Schlafly masterfully sold the narrative that women’s rights, including those which would enable their greater participation in the workforce, would hurt women. In the process, she polarized the debate, making conservatives loath to recognize women’s gains, and liberals equally reluctant to acknowledge that progress might entail trade-offs. As more women have joined the workforce and become leaders in traditionally male spheres, gender roles have shifted, and women have lost their exclusive hold over traditionally female spheres. One of these is the home, as Schlafly argued. But women’s dominion over another part of public life has also declined: civil society.</p> </div> </div> <a class="read-more" href="/politics/archive/2016/09/what-women-lost/500537/" data-omni-click="inherit"> Continue Reading </a> <div itemprop="publisher" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Organization" style="display:none;"> <meta itemprop="name" value="The Atlantic"> <div itemprop="logo" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <meta itemprop="url" value="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/static/a/theatlantic/common/img/logo-black.c2cba3f6478a.png"> <meta itemprop="width" value="150"> <meta itemprop="height" value="50"> </div> </div> </li> <li class="most-popular-article " itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/NewsArticle"> <a href="/politics/archive/2016/09/the-people-behind-the-apprentice-owe-americans-the-truth-about-donald-trump/500504/" class="article-link" data-article-id="500504" data-omni-click="inherit" itemprop="mainEntityOfPage"> <figure class="lead-img" itemprop="image" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <img data-src="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/mt/2016/09/RTR4LQWC/hero_wide_640.jpg?1474280601" alt="" class="lazyload" src="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/mt/2016/09/RTR4LQWC/hero_wide_640.jpg?1474280601"> <meta itemprop="url" value="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/mt/2016/09/RTR4LQWC/hero_wide_640.jpg?1474280601"> <meta itemprop="width" value="640"> <meta itemprop="height" value="400"> <figcaption class="credit">Lucy Nicholson / Reuters</figcaption> </figure> <h3 class="hed" itemprop="headline">The People Behind <i>The Apprentice</i> Owe America the Truth About Donald Trump</h3> </a> <ul class="metadata"> <li class="byline"><span itemprop="author" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="/author/conor-friedersdorf/" itemprop="url" title="Conor Friedersdorf"><span itemprop="name">Conor Friedersdorf</span></a></span></li> </ul> <meta itemprop="datePublished" value="2016-09-19T12:02:02"> <meta itemprop="dateModified" value="2016-09-19T17:38:38"> <div itemprop="description" class="article-content "> <p class="dek">The reality-television show gave millions a misleading impression of the billionaire.

Against Donald Trump, Clinton has two big advantages—a policy agenda that polls show largely matches Millennials’ own preferences, and an opponent even more unpopular with them than with the public overall.

It’s about the showdown between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in the first debate of their 1960 campaign, which was also the very first nationally televised general-election debate in the United States. </p> <p>The story is that Kennedy looked great, which is true, and Nixon looked terrible, which is also true—and that this visual difference had an unexpected electoral effect. As Theodore H. White described it in his hugely influential book <i>The Making of the President 1960</i>, which has set the model for campaign coverage ever since, “sample surveys” after the debate found that people who had only <i>heard</i> Kennedy and Nixon talking, over the radio, thought that the debate had been a tie. But those who <i>saw</i> the two men on television were much more likely to think that Kennedy—handsome, tanned, non-sweaty, poised—had won. </p> </div> </div> <a class="read-more" href="/magazine/archive/2016/10/who-will-win/497561/" data-omni-click="inherit"> Continue Reading </a> <div itemprop="publisher" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Organization" style="display:none;"> <meta itemprop="name" value="The Atlantic"> <div itemprop="logo" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <meta itemprop="url" value="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/static/a/theatlantic/common/img/logo-black.c2cba3f6478a.png"> <meta itemprop="width" value="150"> <meta itemprop="height" value="50"> </div> </div> </li> <li class="most-popular-article " itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/NewsArticle"> <a href="/politics/archive/2016/09/village-atheists-history-nonbelief-united-states/499520/" class="article-link" data-article-id="499520" data-omni-click="inherit" itemprop="mainEntityOfPage"> <figure class="lead-img" itemprop="image" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <img data-src="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/mt/2016/09/AP_250715141/hero_wide_640.jpg?1473620686" alt="Spectators at the so-called Scopes monkey trial in Dayton, Tennessee, in July, 1925" class="lazyload" src="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/mt/2016/09/AP_250715141/hero_wide_640.jpg?1473620686"> <meta itemprop="url" value="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/mt/2016/09/AP_250715141/hero_wide_640.jpg?1473620686"> <meta itemprop="width" value="640"> <meta itemprop="height" value="400"> <figcaption class="credit">AP</figcaption> </figure> <h3 class="hed" itemprop="headline">‘Women Atheists Are Genuinely Considered Monsters’</h3> </a> <ul class="metadata"> <li class="byline"><span itemprop="author" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="/author/emma-green/" itemprop="url" title="Emma Green"><span itemprop="name">Emma Green</span></a></span></li> </ul> <meta itemprop="datePublished" value="2016-09-18T07:00:00"> <meta itemprop="dateModified" value="2016-09-19T17:38:38"> <div itemprop="description" class="article-content "> <p class="dek">Americans have long been suspicious of nonbelievers.
