Super excited to finally share the new project I’ve been working to spin up this year with OpenLabs, co-led by myself and @jpstinebr, to democratize access to accurate measurement to help progressive organizations make important strategic decisions: https://t.co/jzY3lR6yyI

@eefandrews I have the opposite problem, whenever I'm certain I'm out of lip balm and I buy a replacement tube, 5 barely-used Burt's Bees materialize out of thin air in my pockets/on my desk/next to my bed.

We've won a trifecta!

But if we don't prioritize redistricting reform and extending congressional representation to the millions of Americans who currently don't have it, we won't keep it for long!

@chris_whong Would love to help with anything in south Brooklyn!

Calling all technologists! If you are passionate about #civictech and elated w/ the news from this weekend, check out @GSA_TTS, @18F, @PIFgov, @USDS and @DefenseDigital for openings. #USA is about to course correct - and the #BidenHarris administration is going to need your help.

In the weeks since George Floyd's murder, Americans have lost trust in the police while remaining supportive of the protests for justice.

@eefandrews When I read the text-only version of this tweet I thought the pic would be either the Mendocino coast or a protest at ninth and market

Great presentation by @ds4si at #PDF18.
A good reminder:
"The social emergency was already here, it was just unevenly distributed."

[ladyson @ladyson]

That’s why having a clearly articulated set of values (like data code of ethics discussed by @QuietStormnat) is so important - we need to be explicit about how we make those hard decisions when there are competing interests (bc there will be)

[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

@kybradeck It’s not the norm or easy to do, but there are *some* examples of using ML and data science to create more equitable systems from existing data + improve data collection practices -I am heartened by work from @datascifellows @data4democracy & more showing what’s possible
