Sriram RamkrishnaMy people - my #oneapi meetups are great and I love our speakers. But they are overwhelmingly male - I'd like to get perspectives from women, lbgtq+, under-represented minorities - can someone suggest a good speaker that I could invite? Knowledge of oneAPI isn't necessary - we can turn anything about oneAPI by bringing people who know it. So, looking to branch out and have true diversity in our speaker series.

NASANASA’s OCO-2 satellite helps track carbon dioxide emissions for more than 100 countries.
In this map, countries where more carbon dioxide was removed than emitted appear as green depressions, while countries with higher emissions are tan or red and appear to pop off the page.

CatMy kid is in a club at school, and they meet 4x a week for 4 hours. So all the parents chip in and stock a "snack cabinet" (granola bars, juice boxes, etc.) because teenagers are hungry goblins.
I went to fill the cabinet and noticed a padlock on it, apparently someone had been "stealing."
I admit, this triggered me.
I spoke to the coach and told him that perhaps he should talk to the kids and find out if one of them is food insecure instead of locking up some two dollar box of granola bars.
The look on his face, I could tell it kinda clicked, he didn't even think of that, just assumed it was some punk kid breaking rules.
People who grow up with wealth don't even realize that it changes the way they think. Luckily, he's a cool guy, and he was horrified that one of 'his kids' might be hungry at home. Sometimes it just takes one comment to open up someone's eyes to their privilege.
As I tell my own children: If you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.
David HoI showed my students this movie of how atmospheric #CarbonDioxide (CO₂) travels around the globe and you should see it too.
NASA Scientific Visualization Studio - A Year In The Life Of Earth’s CO2

Visualization - Jan. 1, 2006 - Dec. 31, 2006 North America - Feb. 1 - 28, 2006 Africa - Aug. 1 - 31, 2006 Himalayas - Feb. 1 - 28, 2006 Still image - Jan. 1, 2006 Still image - North America - Feb. 12, 2006 Visualization without annotation - Jan. 1, 2006 - Dec. 31, 2006 An ultra-high-resolution NASA computer model has given scientists a stunning new look at how carbon dioxide in the atmosphere travels around the globe.Plumes of carbon dioxide in the simulation swirl and shift as winds disperse the greenhouse gas away from its sources. The simulation also illustrates differences in carbon dioxide levels in the northern and southern hemispheres and distinct swings in global carbon dioxide concentrations as the growth cycle of plants and trees changes with the seasons.The carbon dioxide visualization was produced by a computer model called GEOS-5, created by scientists at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office.The visualization is a product of a simulation called a “Nature Run.” The Nature Run ingests real data on atmospheric conditions and the emission of greenhouse gases and both natural and man-made particulates. The model is then left to run on its own and simulate the natural behavior of the Earth’s atmosphere. This Nature Run simulates January 2006 through December 2006.While Goddard scientists worked with a “beta” version of the Nature Run internally for several years, they released this updated, improved version to the scientific community for the first time in the fall of 2014.

Dare ObasanjoMicrosoft has always had a great philosophy around accessibility and introduced me to the idea of temporary disability. It’s a great way to broaden one’s perspective on how much impact making your product more accessible has.
Tani AuraToday I got my yearly review from work. My manager spent time reading off quotes from others. After I hopped off I was in tears.
The reviews weren’t mean. Instead they were encouraging, friendly, and inspiring. They turned a previously traumatic experience into something amazing that I will never forget.
We often don’t see how we impact people beyond our work. Sincere compliments can have a profound impact on others. Give them out when you can. Definitely give them out during year end reviews.
@saraaccidentally wrote "saad" instead of "saas" in a text to my partner; they immediately coined "Software as a Disappointment"
and honestly, where is the lie
