On 25 August 1991, Linus at age 21 announced Linux project/system in a Usenet posting to the newsgroup. Here is original email that changed IT world forever. Happy Birthday, #Linux kernel.

Hi! I would love to meet and talk to more people in #dataScience #statistics #stats #pydata #dataViz etc etc

I have a Phd in #appliedMath and I work in #productAnalytics

I attend my local American Statistical Assoc meetings sometimes, but they are rare.

I also helped start an R User Group once, (but haven't used R in more than 10 years), and ran a Big Data reading group in #pdx

Please boost 😀

I need to hire a tech SEO person. My client is moving from self-hosting to Shopify and needs to maintain their SEO.

Anyone out there?

I love a great strategic move. And when it’s in a high stakes game like the GA case, and executed by DA Fani Willis, it’s even more rewarding. Read about how she answered, possibly definitively, Meadows’s opening “removal” gambit, in today’s piece. https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/fani-willis-lays-a-trap-for-mark?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Hi #InfoSec fediverse: Can you recommend "hacker type" people, who still actively post here?

Doesn't have to be *particularly* infosec related, I simply want my timeline to be filled with more technical/interesting/clever/creative hacker mindset stuff.

Please boost for exposure :)

This is huge. Four Motherboard journalists are striking out on their own after watching their employer collapse under the weight of its own mismanagement. The four individuals -- Joseph Cox, Jason Koebler, Emanuel Maiberg and Samantha Cole -- have been doing some of the most impactful and intrepid reporting at the intersections of tech, culture and policy. If you can afford it, please consider subscribing to support this promising new enterprise. Godspeed!

I hope you read my latest about the stain left by so many lawyers being involved in the four criminal indictments and how the legal profession needs to make significant structural changes to prevent another attack on democracy in the future.

G20 poured more than $1tn into fossil fuel subsidies despite Cop26 pledges – report

"The G20 poured record levels of public money into fossil fuels last year despite having promised to reduce some of it, a report has found."

"Fossil fuels release pollutants when burned that heat the planet and make extreme weather more violent. They also dirty the air with toxins that damage people’s lungs and other organs. Scientists estimate the air pollution from fossil fuels kills between 1 and 10 million people each year."

"In June, a report from the World Bank found that “by underpricing fossil fuels, governments not only incentivise overuse, but also perpetuate inefficient polluting technologies and entrench inequality...Of all subsidies to the energy sector, about three-quarters go to fossil fuels."

“With fossil fuel companies gaining record profits amid the energy crisis last year, there is little incentive for them to change their business models in line with what’s needed to limit global warming...But governments have the power to push them in the right direction.”

There are tunnels, and there is this...

PSA to people still posting on Twitter: Twitter no longer shows replies or threads to non-logged-in users - just the individual tweets you link to. It also doesn't show profiles with all your recent tweets. I'm not sure this is widely known, especially for those in charge of brands etc. It really cuts down on the usefulness of Twitter IMO.

Oof.

This past week has been the roughest of my professional career. 10+ weeks of interviews to finish in second place a few times mixed with a job offer falling through has me back to the drawing board.

If you've worked with me and liked the work and your company is hiring, I could use a referral.

Thanks.

How many people do you follow on your Mastodon compatible platform? Please boost, thank you.

Curious if there are any official general stats on this as well.
