Truly brave people never tell you how brave they are.
The most intelligent people don't tell you how smart they are.
The best athletes don't tell you how great they are.
They just know.

We make a fundamental mistake when it comes to leadership that creates toughness, grit, and discipline.
We tend to think it's the demanding, strict, almost authoritarian leader who creates tough teas & individuals.

I had a front row seat to watch 18F get started a dozen years ago by some of the smartest and most dedicated public servants I’ve ever met. Their work saved countless lives, and yes, hundreds of millions, probably billions, of dollars. But just as significantly: it made government more responsive.
The work that I led at 18F I naturally feel was really important (I hope all 18Fers felt the same way about their work): codifying the procurement principals that we’d all identified there over the years. I thought this would have a tiny audience. Instead it became a foundational text.

A guide for government agencies to deliver successful technology projects, from pre-award planning through post-award vendor management.

This is sooo good! Lots of good takeaways. Stepping away from the attention machines and using that “extra” time to be curious & explore is great for mental health.

It depends on how much they are lying about everything. Deepseek is good. It's open source. But they aren't transparent about the economics. At least from what I have read so far.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time.
No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient.

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

We need a federal data privacy law now.

I’m concerned that Americans are flocking to a number of adversary-owned social media platforms. We still need a comprehensive and risk-based approach to assessing and mitigating the risks of foreign-owned apps.

A few facts and thoughts on fact-checking 🧵
• Fact-checking is NOT in opposition to free speech and debates. It is a significant contribution to public discourse.
• Fact-checking works. Research shows how fact-checking can affect public perceptions and contribute to corrective mechanisms. [1/4]
