I am gonna try to do something different on this bad news day. I am looking to hire a front end engineer who is well versed in React, and competent in Ruby, Kube, Docker. I would love to interview folks from diverse backgrounds (in terms of caste, race, gender, ability, sexuality) – especially Dalit, Black, Indigenous, Latino non-cis non-hetro folks. This job requires you to be in Cupertino 3 days a week and might require the occasional weekend work. It is decent pay with good benefits. Please DM me with a link to your resume.

I had wondered how many children were killed in the Israeli invasion of Gaza vs Hamas invasion of Israel. There is a website that counts that number. https://countingthekids.org

Found from instagram that, today is the day that UK bans pitbulls. They are offering "compensation" to put down pitbulls. The dogs that have been violent towards people have usually been tiny dogs in my experience. RIP pitbulls in UK. May the people who created this legislation know no peace. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/xl-bully-type-dogs-to-be-banned

Damn TIL there is a mango fest organized in San Jose where you can get 8 mix and match Indian mangoes for $50. The cheapest deal I have seen! Sadly it was last week.

Reading the PFAS bombshell from ProPublica. I know this has nothing to do with nuclear power generation but this is exactly the story of workplace violence found in nuclear power plants like GE's. This is also why I am anti-nuclear power plants. ". They told Hodge only part of what they knew: that PFOS had sickened and even killed laboratory animals and had caused liver abnormalities in factory workers."https://www.propublica.org/article/3m-forever-chemicals-pfas-pfos-inside-story

Congrats to everyone wanting "development" "Then they ran an overnight test on blood that had been collected in rural China during the ’80s and ’90s. If any place were PFOS-free, she figured, it would be somewhere remote, where 3M products weren’t in widespread use.The next morning, anxious to see the results, Hansen arrived at the lab before anyone else. For the first time since she had begun testing blood, some of the samples showed no trace of PFOS."

The villain here is still alive and in his 80s and claims to have a faulty memory. I really want to make a wall of climate villains who look like "average" white person but whose decisions echo through the walls of history

Congrats to the toothless EPA "In 2006, after the EPA accused 3M of violating the Toxic Substances Control Act, in part by repeatedly failing to disclose the harms of fluorochemicals promptly, the company agreed to pay a small penalty of $1.5 million, without admitting wrongdoing."

John Oliver is a white man who is 100% going to heaven"Then, in 2021, John Oliver did a segment on his comedy news show, “Last Week Tonight,” about forever chemicals. The segment, which mentioned my reporting, said that they could cause cancer, immune-system issues and other problems. “The world is basically soaked in the Devil’s piss right now,” Oliver said. “And not in a remotely hot way.” One of Hansen’s former professors sent her the segment, and Hansen watched it at her kitchen table — a moment that would eventually lead her to me."

Some proof Academia *never* did want to rock the boat of capitalism`“I’m sort of kicking myself for not having followed up on this more, but I didn’t have any research money,” Guy told me. He eventually became a dentist to support his wife and family. (He died this year at 81.) Taves, too, left the field, to become a psychiatrist, and the trail ended there.`

This is actually a really good movie with Meryl Streep and Kurt Russell and a good watch to understand why nuclear plants are dangerous. "In the 1983 film “Silkwood,” which is based on real events, Karen Silkwood, a worker at a plutonium plant, assembles a thick folder documenting her employer’s shoddy safety practices; while driving to share them with a reporter, she dies in a mysterious one-car crash."

`A team of New York University researchers estimated in 2018 that the costs of just two forever chemicals, PFOA and PFOS — in terms of disease burden, disability and health-care expenses — amounted to as much as $62 billion in a single year. This exceeds the current market value of 3M.`https://www.propublica.org/article/3m-forever-chemicals-pfas-pfos-inside-story
