We've won a trifecta! But if we don't prioritize redistricting reform and extending congressional representation to the millions of Americans who currently don't have it, we won't keep it for long!

Graphs are useful but to really get what that rising curve is, have a look at the obituaries page of this Bergamo daily newspaper, comparing one from February with one from now

Great presentation by @ds4si at #PDF18. A good reminder: "The social emergency was already here, it was just unevenly distributed."

I find it a little hard to believe that PMs at facebook have never been asked to make a decision between what’s good for business and what’s good for people. Those are trade offs that anyone working in tech confronts every day, whether you are aware of it or not #PDF18

That’s why having a clearly articulated set of values (like data code of ethics discussed by @QuietStormnat) is so important - we need to be explicit about how we make those hard decisions when there are competing interests (bc there will be)
What is this data worth? How are the profits being used and who is benefiting? Until we ask this, smart cities will just be smart exploitation of residents. @geminiimatt #PDF18

So much appreciation and respect for everyone at @USDS @18F who has stayed on to work for change inside our institutions since 2016. More important now than ever. great perspective from @haleyvandyck at #PDF18

Things we are talking about now that we weren’t in 2008 (incomplete list): data science ethics, upgrading critical government tech infrastructure, community-police relations. Things we are still talking about: trust, participation, transparency #PDF18

Back at #PDF18. Last time I was here was in 2008 as a @BKCHarvard intern. (That was also around the last time I consistently used Twitter)

YO #OAKLAND! Since I began at @arstechnica, I’ve gotten a crash course in surveillance law and police tech. The last 6 years of my reporting is now distilled into my new book: HABEAS DATA. You are ALL invited to the launch party at @LaurelBookStore, TOMORROW (5/8) at 7PM.
