At @ashbyhq, we use thoughtful communication to be unreasonably productive (engineers can focus 36 hours/week!). In our first (!) blog post, I share our motivations, internal guidelines, and challenges these guidelines can bring to a remote-first company: ashbyhq.com/culture/blog/t…

Come see the next generation of AI in Ashby. On May 7, we’re livestreaming our Product Keynote from Ashby One San Francisco. Alongside new product launches and real examples of how customers are using Ashby to achieve hiring excellence, we’ll walk through how we think about AI across the platform: an integrated layer across the entire hiring process, built to help teams get past experimenting and start running AI with operational rigor. We’d love to have you join us. Reserve your spot at lnkd.in/e42ksFJq #AshbyOne

During a financial crisis of their own making, @SFBART paid "equity consultants" to create a false report saying that enforcing fare didn't make BART safer or increase revenue. I requested the invoice: BART paid $124,999 of taxes to @StoutAdvisory for this fake report.

The stats here are kind of remarkable. BART's new fare gates have led to a 1,000-hour decline in clean up time; 41% drop in crime; and $10 million increase in projected revenue. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

You shouldn’t steal. You shouldn’t murder health insurance executives. You shouldn’t reflexively side with every country that’s hostile to the United States. This is all incredibly stupid.

The glacially slow realization by every public institution that it is bad to treat our public spaces as waiting rooms for addicts, mentally-distressed, or otherwise anti-social people ... is excruciating.

Bacteria move around using a molecular machine called the flagellar motor that rotates faster than the flywheel of a race car engine and switches directions in an instant. After 50 yrs, scientists have finally figured out how it works. “My lifelong quest is now fulfilled.” Link⤵️

I guess I'll have to blog about this tomorrow, but "LOL, Trump TACO'ed out" is decidedly not the right reaction as compared to "that kind of brinkmanship is really fucking dangerous".

Yes. In fact, the GOP currently has higher favorables than the Dems among Independents. And issue polls show that Americans agree with GOP issue stances more than Democratic stances. As long as the Dems stick to 2021-era progressive ideology, the GOP will bounce back quickly.
Bryan H.@X_BryanH

Craziest part about all of this is that Americans will go right back to voting Republican when this is all over.

The source of the data center water psychosis is @_KarenHao, whose book Empire of AI was a NYT best seller but overestimated water use by 100,000% (lol). The response was just “oopsies” and all the incorrect books were kept in circulation 🤷🏻‍♂️

Jeremy Horpedahl 🥚📉@jmhorp

A typical data center uses about the same amount of water as a golf course, and the same amount of electricity as a steel plant. Yet for some people, they have become The Worst Thing In The World. Where does this motivation come from?

One of the largest spills of untreated wastewater in American history happened while an environmental review process held up sewer line repairs because they were studying risks to a flower and a bat.

California's population grew 0.4% in the last decade. The number of state employees grew 24.5%. Total state spending grew 48%, inflation adjusted. You have to ask - where did all the money go?
Maria Davidson tweet media
Kenneth Schrupp@kennethschrupp

Newsom has nearly doubled state spending, but where has the money gone? Our latest @CityJournal California report explains how $180B or more of taxpayer funds appears to have evaporated into the hands of fraudsters and criminals.

I think tech folks are overrating the degree to which tech philanthropy will replace federal dollars. The science funding piece isn’t crazy — there’s huge money flowing that way, and more coming — but it’s still an OOM off federal funding.
roon@tszzl

the private sector has been remaking its own versions of NIH, ARPA etc as these public science institutions have seen structural decline and defunding and it will be supercharged by the funding NPV of machine intelligence and its firepower at allocation decisions

If you get beaten and hospitalized by a random homeless guy on meth in San Francisco, this is how @sfchronicle will describe you:
💥Susan Dyer Reynolds🗞️@SusanDReynolds

What kind of headline is this ⁦@laura_waxee⁩ ? It reads like Carmignani was the attacker. Like him or not he has metal plates in his head and almost died — video shows drug tourist Garret Doty grabbing a pipe, chasing him, and brutally beating him. Do better.

Did we just accelerate de-dollarization, strengthen China’s position as a future security guarantor/mediator in the Gulf and long-term weaken the power of US financial sanctions all in two weeks? cnn.com/world/live-new…
