Having been a DOJ monitor, this number of monitors is orders of magnitude more than I can remember on deployments in 2008/2012. We relied on staff attorneys and non attorney staff as helpers. Like 2-3 people per team, we each checked in on ~ 20 polling places throughout the day.

This is a huge warning sign for the US Economy in the long term. Immigrants are far more likely to start businesses than those already here. They fuel the idea machine.

This has really resonated with me over several days. This week at work I heard some of my colleagues think I'm embittered about my position change. I'm not. I give a shit. Thank you Mr. Good.

AI adoption, in my personal view, is going to create large blind spots in analytics. We will fool ourselves with data analyses led by AI without being deeply emmeshed in understanding the underpinning assumptions in its model and function. It can do a lot. I find it useful. But I worry.

This is an waste of the CEA's time, and I weep for its state. It has, under both D and R presidencies, done great as an advisory body. This ain't it.

I'm sorry, I know some folks have a hard time liking Silwa. I don't necessarily think I'd vote for him either. But he'd be a hell of a neighbor, and a pretty good friend.

With the staggering increases in gas prices that have happened and will happen, we have reached the point where it is imperative that employers implement work from home policies and communities focus on transit, walking and biking as necessities for national economic stability.

AI made building fast. That includes building the wrong thing faster. Before writing code, you need a tight scope: what to build, and more importantly, what NOT to build. I built a simple tool to pressure-test your idea before you spend weeks building it:

Roger Ebert was wrong. She was simply an angel gracing us with her presence for a bit. She will be missed. I hope somewhere out there another little girl is inspired and carries on her good works.

"Too often those gotta-have-it-for-the-future promises wind up underdelivering if ever opening at all. This is termed “investment”. Meanwhile, declining areas lose services, lose schools, struggle with infrastructure, and other needs are met with the term “fiscal responsibility” Neat trick, that"

Somehow we are supposed to have efficiency in government while not having efficiency in how we talk to each other about government. No wonder we get more of the same but louder, faster, harder.

Let me be blunt, as a statistician who's worked in Natural Resources Management: Wild horses, especially in the American West, are an invasive non-native species that out-compete native foragers. In a water-starved West, they're accelerating soul erosion and declines in plant biomass.

Using AI helps people get higher grades and get their work done faster, but they learn less & suffer on actual exams I saw this in my own large Intro Psych class: -the exam average is 85% -after AI, it shot up to 95% -after I made the final in person it went to 68% www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Purchasing a home is hard right now. So rather than move into a home or buy a better home, folks undertake handy-man, contractor work to improve their current situation.

Nonpartisan statement: AOC is 36. She absolutely should if she wants kiddos but not at this time. We should normalize and support it. Having kiddos is hard. Even moreso after 35 for women. It will still be tough for her later.

Absolutely wrong. There is a (humorous, non-standard) "Scalzi" unit of measurement, but it is not this. This has been another episode of "Don't fucking trust 'AI' to tell you things," starring me, John Scalzi
The "Scalzi" (often pluralized as Scalzis) is a humorous unit of measurement used in sci-fi fandom and at conventions. Originating from science fiction culture, it is used to measure distance or pacing.A single "Scalzi" is equal to the length of a single stride taken by a person who is 6 feet 3 inches tall.
