18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million.

A thread about 18F:

just incredible. my grandfather died of pancreatic cancer and it is an incredibly painful disease. This is going to help so many ppl.

one part of me says this is the best sleep score. another part says “why not 100”

Map showing the number of times a location has burned in SoCal and which kind of fire it was: one burning under Santa Ana winds, or one that was a summer, fuel-driven fire without Santa Ana winds. Malibu area had burned at least 8 times from 1900-2017, and has burned twice now since. Image from Kolden and Abatzoglou (2018): https://www.mdpi.com/2571-6255/1/2/19

Here's the reality about the #LAFires this week: this isn't the first time ANY of these places have burned. Not even close. In 2018, we mapped CA fire history to look at fire frequency across SoCal. Santa Monica Mtns area burns more than anywhere else -- up to once per decade in a given spot. 🧵

weddings are a once in a lifetime opportunity to get to know the family of the bride & groom when they are at their happiest / most open

use the opportunity wisely

me too!! it’s also helped me understand history much better. 5 generations back is much easier to understand than 120 years ago
