Dear Fediverse,

I need some help to survive in this capitalist dystopia, which means I need money :neocat_laugh_sweat: Specifically I'm looking for a fulfilling position focused on helping disadvantaged folx. Although one that pays well and isn't evil would do in a pinch 💁‍♀️

Many of y'all know me and what I stand for, but here's the pitch anyway:

What I offer:
- like 15 years working with uncomfortably large data
- experience as head of data, head of analytics, sr. manager of data science, and sr. analyst across several industries (primarily gaming, but also fintech, construction, AI, and B2B/B2C/C2C marketplaces)
- skills in SQL, Python, statistics, psychology, management, data science, data privacy, research, roguelikes, and other useful things
- a unique blend of work and education history that make me really good at predicting how people react to things

What I need:
- a full-time, salaried position paying $200k+ USD (with flexible time off)
- remote work (but I'm fine occasionally visiting a Seattle-based office)

What I prefer:
- working on novel projects, for organizations that make humanity better in a tangible way
- working with departments like trust & safety, fraud-prevention, user experience, or R&D
- not working for departments like sales & marketing

Finally, thank you all for being amazing and supportive 💝 💝 I'm so lucky to have the friends and contacts I've made here, and I really appreciate any help you can give.

(You can also just throw money at me if you want 💁‍♀️ buymeacoffee.com/alice.watson)

All-in-One platform leaks millions of attachments from their clients.

This server contained a bit of everything, from sensitive piercing selfies next to identity docs, to passports, cvs, insurance docs and more.

Update. "#APDU [Association of Public Data Users] Statement on #Education Research and #Data"
https://apdu.org/?p=5812775

"On Tuesday, March 11, 2025, over 1,000 staff from the Department of Education [#DOE] were laid off. This includes almost all staff from the Institute of Education Sciences (#IES), which housed the National Center for Education Statistics (#NCES)…NCES is mandated by law to report on the condition of education annually, collect and disseminate key education data, and support state and local education agencies…The [layoffs] make it unclear how NCES will meet its legal obligations under the Education Sciences Reform Act, Every Student Succeeds Act, the Information Quality Act, and other federal laws…Congress and policymakers must act to ensure NCES has the resources to meet its statutory obligations. Stakeholders—including researchers, educators, and state leaders—must demand transparency on how education data will be maintained."

I asked for help here some months ago about one of the servers on this post that was hosted by Microsoft.

You can read about how that and other servers with infostealer logs ended up closed.

Hint: MSRC Portal is basically useless.

There’s no federal methodology for studying complications that arise during a pregnancy loss. To understand how Texas’ abortion ban is impacting maternal health, we consulted with researchers to craft one.

Here’s how we sifted through data on millions of pregnancy hospitalizations and analyzed the outcomes before and after the ban.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
—

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

There is no AI just other people's data.
