I hear you with getting friends on board. From the luddites to the apathetic it's always a struggle getting everyone to engage with it, but as it is in all things I guess.

My girlfriend and I do this among ourselves and with our friends. I find it's not as calculated or insensitive as it might first appear. If it's not "on the calendar" then any surprises, efforts, or frustrations (frictio

I think your one(?) experience with Middle-eastern engineers has unfortunately given you a bad impression, but I'm not sure that necessitates making such a dogmatic and blanket "caveat". Following the logic in your own statem

Thank you for sharing! This is very interesting. Also, unsolicited but maybe helpful: if I have a link to a PDF on a site I try and call it out as a download in the description. "A two page executive summary is also available for downl

Perhaps you're right. My sense was that an "equivocation" is creating a false equivalency between two things by hiding behind a word(s) ambiguousness or multiple meanings. In this case I'm saying they're trying to u

What an unfortunate title. Not only because for decades now there are those whose job it has been to "sell nudes online", but also because it outright communicates a moral equivocation between desperate circumstances and sex-work,

I agree, this is a really tough nut to crack without completely overhauling the hiring system and making some hard decisions. USAJobs was a really good-faith effort, but it's not it.

I could not agree more. If the USG wants to provide competent digital services to it's customer/shareholder then it might make more sense to get rid of the Digital Service in the WH and rather expand and go all in on 18F, where it

I think the confusion is not in what the USDS does, but rather who their Play Book is intended for. Is it prescriptive or descriptive? If it's the former (as I took it) then we're not talking about the USDS itself, but the USG. If

18F is definitely a good start. I would also try Code for America[1], although they might only work at more of a local level. 1. https://www.codeforamerica.org/

18F pre-dates the U.S. Digital Service by 6 months. Coding It Forward is a civil society initiative, not a government one, and is analogous to thinking that a weak diplomatic corps can be fixed by sponsoring more high school Model U.N. chap

While this is all well and good it feels like a slick "thought leadership" campaign that provides little in the way of actual solutions to the issues USG orgs face when building/providing digital services. The challenge is no

I agree with you, Dan, and Adam Wathan for that matter. The point of my comment had more to do with front-loading of a pitch with copy specifically tailored for confirmation bias. Running to achieve weight loss can be hard. So much so that

Given Australia is in the Five Eyes I doubt it needs to get this capability from a third-party provider. More reasonable to assume that there is a maligned private actor in AUS. I don't believe Circle's admission that they only do
