Alan Krueger

No, I'm not an economist you may have heard of.

@luismalhadinhas That was @Alan_Krueger until shortly after he died, not me.

@kevinb9n who might one plead to in order to get Google's GoodTime Java library open sourced? I'm sorely missing that right now.

@EdKrassen @StephHoover8 If Twitter accounts are deleted, Twitter apparently allows someone else to pick up the username and use it. That's bad for referential integrity as past posts mentioning someone now reference a different person.

I witnessed this happen with @Alan_Krueger after his death.

@danieledagnelli Everyone's freaking out about how chat ML models can answer topics they understand well, but the humor comes at the boundaries.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@danieledagnelli @zbowling NYT claims the Fuchsia team lost 16% versus Google's overall 6%, so no, not dead. Just, you know, without folks like Zac or me.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@cornholio562 @owxdev @jcj Though this mostly ended with his passing and the apparent deletion of his account and history. https://t.co/N8Rj5vHirP

@AlanKrueger forever changed my life -- from teaching me economics and the power of empirical evidence to introducing me to public policy. The world has lost Alan's keen mind and deep insights. I have lost a true friend and a mentor. Our hearts go out to Lisa, Ben, & Sydney.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@cornholio562 @owxdev @jcj It's possible he or his staff mistook me for the late Alan Krueger, Princeton Economist. More than a few others on Twitter did, though a cursory look at my profile would demonstrate that I wasn't.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@glMVgWrkDjheYXy @owxdev @jcj It's my personal phone, so no. The corp profile was just remotely deleted. I'm assuming corp phones, laptops, etc. will need to be returned, though.

Here's hoping folks who used the WFH stipend to buy office equipment won't have to return that stuff, though.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@jcj @owxdev Thanks, same to you!

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@deepinthebuild Same. I'm assuming there's a firestorm on Memegen about this.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@jcj @gavaletz I've heard that remaining employees have been asked not to speculate about how people were selected for the layoff, even though the folks they hire are likely to find that an irresistible problem.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@erica_holloway @jcj If I hadn't noticed the situation on my phone before driving in to the office, I definitely would have discovered it by being unable to badge into the building. It wouldn't surprise me at all if someone found out that way.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@owxdev @jcj I found out first by my corp Calendar widget disappearing from my phone, which I noticed when I woke up. I then noticed a notification that my corp account had been deleted from the phone during the night. 10 years for me.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@JoJoFromJerz Ketchup, no. Sriracha, yes.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@JewelStaite I can't see Firefly on Disney+ for some reason. Is that part of the Hulu bundle?

[Maxwell Alejandro Frost @MaxwellFrostFL]

I find it interesting that the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” people take issue with me staying with friends until I save up enough to get an apartment.

Maybe I don’t fit the demographic they like to applaud 🤷🏾‍♂️

@ImaLincolnLib @WeRegisterDems @mattyglesias The ARPANET, what became the foundations of the modern Internet, was started in the late 1960s.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@Tesla Is there a way to report non-charging cars parking in supercharger spots? They presumably aren't being charged idle fees because they're not plugged in. Sometimes it's not even an EV.

[Alan Krueger @AlanKrueger]

@gregtannen @scalzi It's a South Park reference.
