Today I presented a paper in @icseconf.bsky.social I started with this phrase “imagine that you have 10 min to present your paper and the moderator cuts you to 5 minutes that’s how big the cuts in science are in Argentina. I’m here presenting but our public University is on strike”

Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?
Willard: I don't see any method at all, sir.

Frog exclaims to Toad that he is happy. From "Alone" In *Days with Frog and Toad*
“But Toad,” said Frog, “I AM happy. I am very happy. This morning when I woke up, I felt good because the sun was shining. I felt good because I was a frog. And I felt good because I have you for a friend. I wanted to be alone. I wanted to think about how fine everything is.”

Higher education is especially reliant on computers and phones, but accessibility for people with disabilities has often been forgotten. A new federal rule could change that.

"By week one, I was already tired of his anti-rich, pro-Samaritan bullshit. I wanted to take a course in Christianity, not liberalism."
The Trump White House app is riddled with vulnerabilities:
Cybersecurity researchers warn that the app regularly shares users' IP addresses, time zones and other data to third-party services.
Most of its users wouldn't know that, because the app doesn't disclose its data sharing like others do.
"Don't threaten me with a good time," as they say. 😉
Piggybacking to share my post about how sometimes *good* software goes to space, too: @racket-lang.org . But not until I could figure out whether License Exception TSU under part 774 of the EAR implied an ECCN of EAR99. (I know you're dying to know, too.)

Overview of changes in NSF funding proposed by the FY 2027 President's Budget Request. Most programs are significantly cut. OMB did not give numbers for STEM and NCSES, so the numbers appear to be increases (they are not).
Giving folks a sense of what the cuts to NSF funding in the 2027 President's Budget Request actually looks like. Note the significant cuts across domains--even to research security! STEM and NCSES aren't captured for prior years, so they appear to be cuts, even though they are not.
Utah and the American southwest is heading into uncharted territory
There was no winter
Please tell Congress not to cut the NSF's SBE Program. Research in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences is fundamental, and very few philanthropic funders in the US support this kind of research.

Known measles case at the U of Utah. Multiple exposures. Yikes.
We will tell the story again, and maybe next time, the ending will be different.
Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.
A good day for Utah—

Astonishing. The goal of our war is now to undo the effect of the war we started.
Gosh, if only we could rewind to, say, four weeks ago when the Strait of Hormuz was open and normal!
This is bad: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest airport in the world, has *turned off* its official wait time tracker
