Seems to me that allowing law enforcement officers to wear masks covering their faces….encourages an environment where law enforcement officers aren’t as concerned about being caught on camera doing something illegal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

One of the easiest ways for the public to see the value of NOAA / NASA / USGS data is for broadcast TV, streamers, weather apps, etc, to simply start showing (sourcing) agency logos on graphics. Repetition and visual association works. Hurricane season would be a great time to start.

Personally, I think Congress should not get free health insurance unless they meet the same countable asset limit and income limit as people who receive Medicaid in their state. Seems fair to me. In my state: Single: $1,304 / month $4,000 asset limit Married: $1,763 / month $6,000 asset limit

We are told to simultaneously believe AI is so "early days" as to excuse any lack of real usefulness, and that it is so established - "too big to fail" - that we are not permitted to imagine a future without it. And since they can't deliver, they have to keep making the promise - the FOMO - bigger.

Had a lot of people recently reaching out to do off the record “on background” interviews where they ask me to explain a bunch of stuff to them. This is not something to do to people you do not know! I am not your free research partner. If you do this to people either compensate or quote them.

The more senior you get, the more you focus on mindset over methods. You already know many methods. You use and adapt methods like tools. But mindsets give you strategy & principles to approach problems & people. Here are 2 examples: - exploration over certainty - co-creation over control etc.

There is no safe and valid business reason for AI video generation with sound other than for misinformation. Similar to when they cloned Dolly the Sheep and the world decided that human cloning wasn't cool. Folks need to decide this isn't cool.

Will AI “succeed”? I keep thinking about lasers. They’re obviously a technological success, but they got there neither by following science fiction nor by strapping a free, unwanted laser on every new household appliance. Obviously a lot of household appliances rely on lasers. Just not like that.
