The Jones Act needs to go. It only creates hardship and huge distortions.

I do NOT understand why anyone would watch a TV series based on Jeffrey Dahmer.

Maybe those watching it weren’t born when that beast did what he did, so ignorance is bliss…otherwise, I don’t get it AT ALL. 😒

Color is probably the trickiest thing to master, especially using code. I wrote a thread breaking down color models and how to manipulate color in @p5xjs 🧵 1/n

This!!!! Right here!!!

Read it. Think on it. Pass it on!

Diversity means NOTHING, without inclusion. That’s where we need to get to, now. Sincere inclusion is akin to equality.

I’m so excited to announce that...
I HAVE A NETFLIX SHOW (!!!)

ok so my favorite "infrastructure pattern" of all time (or even just like, computing pattern, or maybe even "life pattern") is:

When faced with a particularly gnarly problem,
Stop trying to solve the problem. Start figuring out how to not have it.

I have submitted TWENTY internship apps at JPL & have NEVER been selected.

Recently I was told that you usually have to KNOW someone. So...

DOES ANYONE KNOW SOMEONE AT JPL THAT WANTS AN INTERN?

Can work year-round & interested in engineering/instrumentation & astrophysics.

I'm interviewing a male academic about what it's like to be a academic at the same time as being a man. What should I ask him?

I’m watching my train leave in 5 mins and I’m not on it because I apparently didn’t arrive early enough for staff to get the ramp.

I’m late because the bus I was on let everyone (20+ people -full bus) off before deploying the ramp for me.

Everyone on that bus made their train.

Thread: Nikki Haley said the Confederate Flag was a symbol of "service and sacrifice and heritage"

I was born and raised in SC so I know a little about this.

Here is the truth behind that statement:

I was supposed to interview a managing partner at @McKinsey about women in the workplace. Critical topic. But now – minutes before we were supposed to walk on stage - I’m pulling out.

Why? Because it’s not OK to talk out of both sides of your mouth. And, it’s personal.

Today a customer mentioned that she could get a new hardcover book online for $15. Our mission is not to shame anyone for their shopping practices, but we do feel a responsibility to educate about what it means when a new hardcover is available for $15 online.

Yesterday on BART I heard one Asian lady engineer give negotiation advice to her friend that was so egregiously wrong, I almost committed a SF atrocity and talked to them

But my stop was next so, in true SF fashion, here’s a tweet thread /1

I am firmly in the camp of folks that thinks teaching should be a six-figure job.

White people are currently making pot a billion dollar industry in both Colorado & California. There’s also a show centered on a white woman selling weed on Netflix.

And black ppl are still getting arrested for weed amounts smaller than the size of a penny. https://t.co/0ULGI1nQ5V

1/ The NYTimes is densely defending their article by claiming it was intended to shed light on the normalcy of racism in American society.

I agree this is a worthy topic of discussion.

So, let’s talk about all the things the Times could have *actually* achieved this. . . .
