@izkirk Hey, twins is more efficient than two sequential serial births ...

[Nick Berry @DataGenetics]

@StatsInTheWild To answer, we need to know the time of day you were born as well as the two time zones

@Rainmaker1973 Nice photos, but bogus science explanation. The temperature is not so cold that the tea instantly freezes. It's because the air is so dry, it instantly evaporates. https://t.co/fhPW5cIZnS

Thanks @GoDaddy for moving me to a new server, but not bothering to update the DNS so my site goes down! Also, now none of the MySQL accounts used by web pages autheticate. This has to rate 0/10 for customer service. Shame on you.

@Reverend_Lyn @elonmusk @teslaownersSV @Twitter If that is the case, then that is fraud.

[Nick Berry @DataGenetics]

@Reverend_Lyn @elonmusk @teslaownersSV @Twitter I think that's disingenuous. Asking for the TWTR process kills two birds with one stone. It will find out if they actually have a rigorous process (or just estimate and pull a number), but also raises the question, if they can identify fake accounts, why leave them up?

[Nick Berry @DataGenetics]

@elonmusk @teslaownersSV @Twitter Maybe you could ask for the exact process that TWTR uses to generate their <5% number, and confirm assumptions made at each stage, and validate? After all, if they are standing proud by that number, one would hope they have a rigorous process.

@haltakov Current implementations of NFT are snake oil. Not a single company in the space is addressing even the most fundamental issues. They just vitriolically slam the poster and do not address the issues as the tryvto scam people out of money. It's all greed, not incentives/effects

[Nick Berry @DataGenetics]

@haltakov and propose how some of those problems can be solved before trying to reap benefit from them. Saying the world will be better once we cure cancer is great, and world hunger is solved, gets no arguments. The devil is on the details

[Nick Berry @DataGenetics]

@haltakov Just because something sounds good to have, it does not mean it is technically possible. For example the world would be better with antigravity engines, cold fusion. teleportatiom... Some things are easy to say but hard (possibly impossible) to do. Read through the article again

I just watched the opening ceremony of the #WinterOlympics

It was like being on the Small World ride at Disney, but with real people.

[Nick Berry @DataGenetics]

NFT gaming is snake oil.
