@Justbrowisingb1 @amyecheetham @rahulchhabra07 (1/2)^14 = 0.000061. So 1 in 16384 companies. If there are 100 big companies of this era, there wouldn't be 'a lot' of them with 14 men by chance. More likely 0.

It was a pleasure to speak in Berlin 🇩🇪 at our first Data Natives conference 🎪 @DataNativesCon #DN22

“I was born under Mussolini, I don’t want to die under Meloni.” 😢

“Nato sotto Mussolini non vorrei morire sotto la Meloni. Che Dio ci aiuti”

Buonanotte così.

Figma: we currently have no plan to change Figma’s pricing
Also Figma: the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “targets,” “estimates,” involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially

@PaoloCirio This sounds great! The talk will be in Italian right?

@davidjcooper @arcadefire I know there are more stories than those 4.

[Jo Kroese @jojarakroese]

I studied in Montreal in part because I adored @arcadefire. By the time I left in 2017, several friends (18-22 at the time) had told me about Win sexually harassing them. I don't doubt this news at all. https://t.co/EZpX2682Ih

Onwards and upwards. As my friend told me after, they're scared and we're winning. ✊🏼

Today a man on a motorbike stopped, looked straight in my eyes and spat in my face. I was on the way to see my partner's DJ set at @amsterdampride.

I had a cry, some long hugs and then danced perreo at my partner's incredible show @Vondelbunker with a beautiful crowd of queer Latinxs.

Sometimes I get in the bath to wash, sometimes I get in the bath to make a point about data ethics 🛁

[Radical Data @radical_data]

We often say 'look at the data' but maybe we should say 'look under the data': Who created it? Why? and How? #radicaldata #datafeminism #datajustice #dataethics #digitalhumanities #Statistics #datascience #dataforgood #algorithmicbias #codedbias

@_KarenHao @kxphan Our work on data colonialism starts with acknowledging that this is just part of the same long history of colonial power, (neo)liberalism and racism. Throughout history, we've learnt different tactics to subvert that power. Next up: AI.

[Radical Data @radical_data]

@_KarenHao @kxphan In Latin America, we talk about multiple colonisations. From Colombus to the US-backed military coups across the continent, there's nothing 'new' about continued colonial power. Boats, guns, neoliberal finance, AI... Same colonialism, new tools.

[Jo Kroese @jojarakroese]

@yaxu They describe parts of the work as 'tools'. I had a great time using it and my client liked the process so much that they asked for an extended piece of work using it. Also, Sheffield 🤠.

[Jo Kroese @jojarakroese]

@yaxu Not sure if it fits your definition but in my statistical work I use SHELF (Sheffield Elicitation Framework) https://t.co/TQxG1s1LE8. I learnt it through the documents outlining the methods and implemented it in a project with the software they built (https://t.co/gPKpyo2vzO)

[Radical Data @radical_data]

Today Jo will be talking about our work, heartbreaks with big tech and why the 'data for good' movement needs to think a little harder about what 'good' means. Chuffed to be sharing our thoughts at @DA4SG's #goodtechfest alongside organisations like @DataKind and @TheGovLab
