Basic but good explanation of why S&P500 and other stock indexes are so disconnected from the reality so many individuals are facing because of COVID-19. https://t.co/XFo2SFyN0q

What a great symbolic moment.

Removing “Gone with the Wind” from the Netflix and HBO catalogs won’t erase centuries of racism. But adding age restrictions, adding captions with context etc. could have been an effective way of starting a discussion. America should deal with its past, not run away from it.

Directly detecting the spread of culture is very hard, meaning we often resort to proxies. But, this study creates networks of cultural influence using different language data. In @PNASNews by @ShRonen, @B_V_Goncalves, @alexvespi, @sapinker and @cesifoti. https://t.co/hZsfxbf7xh

@orenkolodny @nytimes I bet there’s some internal discussion that’s not communicated externally: FB posts many articles about their Content Integrity tactics but not much about strategy.

[Shahar Ronen @ShRonen]

Blocking hate speech around the world is a noble cause. But according to this @nytimes article, Facebook needs to re-think its approach, as they struggle to scale their solution to 100+ languages in 200+ countries. https://t.co/jjjJ26rJXc

[Shahar Ronen @ShRonen]

@orenkolodny @nytimes I don’t expect the media to do Facebook’s work. IMO the problem lies in taking on “an impossible mission” without breaking it down to smaller, more attainable goals with clear metrics.

.@siftscience starts 2019 strong by moving a new office in Seattle! https://t.co/UdHnQCcVex

@_AndrewSang Thanks for the honest reply. I still think it can be stopped by a public uproar. If your vision is a denser NE Seattle, inadequate transportation will jeopardize it

Never thought I’d share a tweet by a weather service, but this one made me very happy. Can’t wait to “Enjoy the Silence” once the smoke clears.

"Just Can't Get Enough" clean air. It's a "Question of Time" when "Precious" Pacific air arrives & we're "Stripped" of the smoke. In air quality, "Everything Counts". It's no "Strangelove" we have for some westerly flow "Behind the Wheel" tonight. That's a "Policy of Truth" #wawx
