You know Dave Patterson wanted to title this: "How to squander US leadership in science and engineering".
Dave Patterson’s op-ed is a great overview on how taxpayer-funded research built the backbone of modern tech: RISC, RAID, cloud, . the list goes on. Encourage your representatives to fully fund the NSF and CISE!.

Colden Kimber was one of the fastest cyclists in Ithaca and a sometimes member of Team 545. The best mechanic in town, he built up a bike for me a few years ago. I’m shocked he’s gone but unsurprised by his final heroic act—putting himself in danger to protect others. RIP 💔.
The victim of a fatal stabbing at a Muni stop is being mourned as a hero for placing himself between the suspected attacker and a group of women and children who were being harassed. 📝: @McLaughlinnews and @allaboutgeorge

Operating Systems papers should be 140 characters, not 12 pages. Oh wait, we just invented @TinyToCS.
ICSE/FSE/ASE papers should be 4-5 pages, not 10-11. Shorter papers encourage creative research for wider audience, which is the point of software engineering. Plus, reviewers rarely thoroughly read 10-page papers.
