A great long read on how Google became a surveillance company. In 2002, still reeling from the dot-com crash, Google realized they’d been harvesting a very valuable raw material — your behavior.

New blog post: One thousand women of STEM! (https://11011110.github.io/blog/2019/09/22/1000-women-stem.html)

Today I created my 1000th Wikipedia biography of women in mathematics, computer science, statistics, and other areas of science and technology. The post lists some of the highlights of this set.

A software firm called Chef that provides products to some of the biggest companies on the planet is not renewing its contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The move comes after a former employee of the company deleted code that can be used with the software in protest over the company's work with ICE.

My dream for Mastodon is for it to be a viable choice as a publishing platform for any creator. In other words, for people to not feel like they're locked in to Twitter or Instagram if they want to be professionally successful.
