I've been here for over ten years, and have found this site immensely useful for my career, but it's gotten less and less useful over time in that regard.
For those who want to keep following me, I'll be posting and following here: mastodon.social/@grahamimac.

Hey folks, seeing as many of the favorite people I follow are moving to Mastodon (and Twitter rarely recommends their tweets to me anymore anyway), please let me know if you've moved there, and if so your handle. I'd love to follow you there.
(find me there at the same handle)

This is really impressive work from a broad group of people, bipartisan and non-controversial and will allow the country to use data, with strict privacy protections, to innovate and improve.
Among everyone, a big kudos to @NickRHart for his tireless work in moving this forward.

#BREAKING: Congress passed the CHIPS Act, which will establish a National Secure Data Service at @NSF, a long-standing legislative priority of Data Coalition members! We call on @POTUS to sign this crucial data modernization effort into law.

And a big shoutout to the @IBMData team (Becky Duane is the greatest, Seth Dobrin, Vaisakhi Mishra, Gabriel Gilling, Joseph Gibli, Andre Violante, and many others) for building on our work, taking it to the next level, and committing to make the work open source.
