I think someone making this chart Googled this at 8:32am and probably thought - too late to change it now…

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

18f.org

We're not done yet | 18F

“It's amazing how pollution has dropped in #Paris in 15 years. @annehidalgo.bsky.social has filled the city with bike-lanes & not only has she reduced pollution by 40% but she’s also been re-elected.” Trading car space for green space, bike space, kid space…trading pollution for people. Good trade.

I love this math problem, "Moving sofa problem": What's the largest shape that can fit through a 90-degree turn in a unit-width hallway? A new proof may have solved it after nearly 60 years. (arxiv.org/abs/2411.19826) Source of animation: www.math.ucdavis.edu/~romik/movin...

“Any jackass can knock down a barn. It takes a carpenter to build something.” @rickperlstein.bsky.social (quoting Sam Rayburn) on the unseriousness of RFK/DOGE doing anything useful, even accidentally. On today’s @majorityreport.bsky.social

Climate change just gets worse & worse as temps go up. Drawing the line at *any* particular temp would be arbitrary. The reason it was done is that policymakers need something firm to work backward from, to gauge & measure their efforts. The political economy needs some kind of anchor.

I don’t read Spanish well enough to prefer it over English for reading most books. But for this one, I think I need to do Spanish. Great pictures too.

Not easy to find modern tech/AI books in Guatemala, but they do have latest from @melaniemitchell.bsky.social (in Spanish). Love Sophos in Guatemala City
