A federal judge in Montana blocked the state’s first-in-the-nation ban of TikTok Thursday, dealing a blow to critics’ efforts to outlaw the popular video app for public use. https://t.co/Qi64Mt0urn

Why is the @WhiteHouse Executive Order on #AI such a big deal? Because it’s a big EO – over 💯 pages!
EO’s can spin-off a huge amount of guidance for agencies & federal contractors. For example, EO 14028 on #cybersecurity resulted in multiple OMB memos from 3 to 40+ pages long.

@geoffreyfowler doing a live genAI demo of Senator Chuck Schumer with the him in the front row of the audience is daring and nerve-racking 😬

4 hours and 3 overtimes after a 10:30pm kickoff…Trojans win! Now I can sleep 😴
Can’t wait for the move to the Big Ten Conference to get some daytime games on the east coast.

@ryanaraine You’d think https://t.co/vPLI96K17d would have been the first clue it was malware

Just need to take a moment to appreciate this 🤯 5G mobile speed test result: 1.6Gbps on a phone!

5x my current home fiber service
200x my first cable modem service
4000x my first iPhone on 2G EDGE

Fast forward to 2017 when I’m working in DC as a TechCongress Fellow. It was Seersucker Day on the Hill. The Senator and I exchanged compliments on our matching seersucker suits while passing through the halls of Hart. Kind of silly - but the Senate likes its traditions.

Thinking about Dianne Feinstein passing away, I’m reminded of the impression she had on me during both of my opportunities to work in the Senate.

In 2001, I was Coro Fellow in her LA field office. Letters containing anthrax were being sent to Senators shortly after 9/11. She conveyed the importance of gov staying open for business despite risks to staffer opening potentially-deadly letters while wearing a mask and gloves.

Great first episode of the Impossible Tradeoffs podcast. @katieharbath is certainly not afraid of controversy: dipping fries 🍟 into milkshakes 🥤 is right up there with pineapple 🍍 on pizza 🍕 (I'm a yes on both).

[Katie Harbath @katieharbath]

My first podcast episode is live! Tune in to hear from @crystalp - a former colleague of mine at Meta - and @RebeccaThein - a former Twitter employee - about how tech is preparing for all the elections next year.

@WeldPond @allanfriedman These are great examples of a bunch of imperfect elements coming together to make the product and the whole ecosystem better.
