REVEALED: How Exxon held back climate action for decades, and is still doing it today. We went undercover with Exxon’s lobbyists to expose the truth. Watch and share.

Congrats to @mark_grover & team! Data disorganization is my top pain point.

Excited to announce Stemma's launch today. It's been 3 years since Lyft's data catalog - Amundsen was born. It's enabled Lyft and many others like Instacart, Square & Brex to be more effective at data-driven decision making. We are excited to bring the same to the broader market.

You might have heard that Conway's Game of Life is Turing complete.

But what most people who are familiar with the game don't know, is what that *truly* entails.

That it is possible to create Life ...within Life itself. ⠠⠵

It's hard to put "Beijing" and "rule of law" in the same sentence.

This is the interview with one of the protesters in the PolyU tonight. I've spent some time in translating the video into English. Sorry if any wrong grammar but please help spread. God bless PolyU and HK. @SolomonYue #SOSHK #SOSPolyU #PolyU #StandWithHongKong

I’m just so tired of the narrative that the Communist Party lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. I mean once you’ve run the country into the ground with the Great Famine and the Cultural Revolution and 30+ million people died, there’s kinda nowhere else to go but up.

Those who headed to #PolyU trying to help, some were captured by #HKPoliceTerrorists, taken to a dark alley and beaten by batons.
The press won’t allowed to approach, nobody could stop #PoliceBrutality

Leaked files expose how China organized the mass detention of Muslims in concentration camps.

This is 1930s stuff happening in the 21st century.

History ain't over, folks.

@rhatr @mike_percy @Docker It wasn't like that. A bunch of ppl, a few you know, were hired to build the ops side. But execution and focus wasn't there. Eg, it invested in unikernel and a few other non-essentials. It also ignored k8s for too long, only to double down on docker swarm.

A report out today in Nature finds that we've been underestimating the effects of climate-change-related flooding, and that major cities across the globe will be inundated and essentially unlivable by 2050. https://t.co/JY0Pyt5HQt

Everyone: go get your check from Equifax!

$125 is a nice chunk of change.

Get that money and pay off a bill, sock it away, take a day off, treat yourself, whatever you’d like - but cash 👏🏿 that 👏🏽 check! 👏🏻

💸 It takes one minute. Do it here 💸: https://t.co/sy7eZCuLi6

Again, I'm blown away by @IlhanMN.

Watch how she calls out Islamophobic questioning where Muslim politicians are held to a different standard & are expected to condemn every act of extremism to prove their humanity. 👏🏽

An experience familiar to us all.
