Story of a 66-year-old researcher, an immigrant, who rarely got grants, never got her own lab, never earned more than $60K. For four decades, she kept working on mRNA—a path considered foolish. Her work is the basis for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. nytimes.com/2021/04/08/healt…

No one's yet made a workable solution for web micropayments, but one aspirational design metaphor I like is an electricity meter.
I don't think about running my dishwasher as a transaction with a price and a receipt: I just do things, and I get a bill at the end of the month.

Food delivery workers are keeping Americans fed, but they don’t receive a minimum wage or basic labor protections. We must stop gig companies from exploiting their employees by misclassifying them as contractors. #ProtectEssentialWorkers nytimes.com/2020/11/30/nyreg…

Warren speaks more eloquently about the benefits of capitalism than most.
“I believe in markets…There are so many people right now who argue against these reforms and other reforms, who claim they are pro-business. They’re not. They’re pro-monopoly.”

An example of the subtlety of barriers in social services:
For food stamps (SNAP), a phone interview is required. Often that means you get a cold call from a blocked number, and if you'd don't pick it up, it's on you to reschedule.
But often it's *really* hard to reschedule.

This is a straw man.
The problem isn’t the ads. It’s Facebook’s unwillingness to regulate those ads and their inability to control organic disinformation on their platform—which they’re now letting run wild during a critical moment for our democracy.
Facebook alerted political strategists today that the company plans to extend its ban on political ads for another month, upending digital ad preparations for two Georgia Senate runoffs that will decide control of Congress politico.com/news/2020/11/11…

We have a lot of work to do to reform our broken bureaucracy in San Francisco, and voters have shown that they want action by passing Proposition H to cut red tape for our small businesses.
Let's continue that progress.

I am frankly appalled at the cultural ignorance on display about the varieties of communities of Latin American descent in the United States, all because exit-polls suggest they don’t fit someone’s punditry, or neatly pre-fabricated narratives.

Donald Trump’s attempts to stop votes from being counted are the actions of a desperate man trying to cling to power just a little longer.
It's undemocratic. It's pathetic.
And it won't work.

Uber, Lyft, etc. now exempt from treating workers as employees. Regardless of merits, the campaign was full of dark patterns & worker coercion. An amazing perversion of democracy and a reminder that tech platforms are the most powerful entities in the U.S. kqed.org/news/11842964/gig-c…

Experts fear that Uber Lyft and Doordash's "unprecedented" app-based propaganda campaign in Prop 22 will be used as a playbook by future corporations who wish to buy their way out of laws they don't like: buff.ly/30LY2cU
