🎉 We’re so excited to launch a new open source tool! Deon adds ethics checklists to data science projects. Support for markdown, @projectjupyter, custom checklists and more! One command jumpstarts the conversation all data teams should be having: https://t.co/gWL8yiDdym 🎉

This spring, evolutionary psychologist @LaurieSantos debuted a course about happiness, almost experimentally. It became the most popular course in Yale's 300+ year history. This episode could make you happier! It's here: https://t.co/zRBxE7Z36q

It's exactly what you'd expect to see in a society captured by the idea that life must be earned, and wealth is how you earn it, and whiteness and maleness are fungible with wealth.

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

Wealth is innocence.
Maleness is innocence.
Whiteness is innocence.
Authority is innocence.

Failure to attain these standards is guilt.

Seems weird, but you can see it work every day.

Botham Jean was innocent until he was proven not white. And so they searched his apartment.

@heif @edyson @Cascadia @eleanorahowe @Michelle_Heng Hi! Flattered to be mentioned, but with little health background, I'm not sure I'm the best fit this time around. There's a great list compiled by @WiMLworkshop here though: https://t.co/icFYsAT1N2

[Women+ in ML/DS @wimlds]

Since https://t.co/O6LMf4BwPm is a https://t.co/7HoRXkosMG based community, it's great to see that @Meetup has adopted the "Manifesto for Data Practices". #DataEthics

What if 'tech ethics' is a smokescreen unless it contends with the bigger issues of concentrated power, governance models, due process, and public accountability? 🤔 https://t.co/P446qJmmVr

What is this data worth? How are the profits being used and who is benefiting? Until we ask this, smart cities will just be smart exploitation of residents. @geminiimatt #PDF18

[ladyson @ladyson]

I find it a little hard to believe that PMs at facebook have never been asked to make a decision between what’s good for business and what’s good for people. Those are trade offs that anyone working in tech confronts every day, whether you are aware of it or not #PDF18
