Recently, they reached out again to try out their “new improved version”, so I gave it another go, expecting some amazing improvements in the three years since I last tried it.

But it was far worse! It was now slow and produced incorrect and banal results.

I will be speaking at @JupyterCon Paris next week!

Proud of the team that built Nebari and so happy that many people are using it to make data science and ML ops easier. People have asked us for support and hosting or help adapting to their platforms. We are happy to provide this to everyone. Learn more at https://t.co/iTBnHG1HYG

@DB_Bahn Thank you very much. On the telephone, this email address was given but he didn't think they would help. Furthermore, they would take 1-2 weeks to reply, at which point if they deny the request would I still at least be able to obtain the voucher refund?

[Dan Lester @danlester]

@DB_Bahn My family booked a train Berlin to Nuremberg for Fri 31st March, expecting the journey to take 3 hr 20 m. You sent us an email saying that this train would now take nearly 5 hours and that our commitment is cancelled.

[Dan Lester @danlester]

@DB_Bahn Where is the cut off? If you were suggesting a 10 hour alternative trip, would you agree at that point...?

[Dan Lester @danlester]

@DB_Bahn Yes, that would be acceptable but there are no journeys available other than those taking 5 hours. It really isn't a reasonable substitution for a 3 hour 20 min journey. Do you honestly not think it is appropriate to refund under those circumstances?

[Dan Lester @danlester]

No problem, but please just refund the amount to our credit card... Your representatives on the telephone refuse to acknowledge this is an unreasonable timetable change! Please could you let me know how to get this refunded? Thank you.

[Dan Lester @danlester]

That journey is too long with a child, and we were concerned there might be further cancellation problems especially with strikes, so we decided to abandon our trip to Berlin and fly straight to Nuremberg instead.

I'm doing some experiments with the Twitter API...

@dharhasp @MarcSkovMadsen @quansightai And any organization interested in this would be very welcome to sponsor it! Moving ContainDS to the next level (its core detached from JupyterHub) is something we'd like to do but needs funding from those who want to use it.

@colinhowe @chicgeek You know you need this app regardless of what it does.
