Twitter was not bad because "hashtags this" or "trends that". Twitter was bad because:
1. Centralized.
2. They forced you to ID yourself with a phone number.
3. They hand your data to third party companies.
4. Most governments were using it to ID people saying bad things about them.
5. Ads and corporative campaigns.

Hello! I’m a newly-minted CS PhD (UC Santa Cruz) and Assistant Prof at Pomona College. My research area connects videogames, AI, verification, and specification recovery. I’m also really interested in GPGPU and other forms of energy-efficient computation. I’m on a mission to help my students replace the games industry and Silicon Valley with more humane alternatives.
I want to learn more about equitable instructional, assessment, and evaluation design!
how fucked up do you think the first person to sneeze must have felt? "oh my FUCK I just EXPLODED but I'm still HERE what's going ON"

Apparently Berlin teenagers figured out how to hack a specific type of rental bikes (ofo) and are using and abusing them en masse. Good for them! I like seeing a company actually pay the price for not investing in security.
I often feel inferior in my field (machine learning) because of my background in #Psychology . But some of the best machine learners (Geoff Hinton, Michael I. Jordan) are actually Psychologists by training, so I shouldn't.

Soooo is anybody here able to remember the #Python #Matplotlib API for creating subplots? I must've done it over a hundred times by now, still get it wrong..
Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
So I recently met someone who writes Fortran code, unironically
