https://t.co/uRyAFKceYu Want to work with me? Of course you do! We are hiring a DE in London! Get in touch if you're interested.

[Colin Wilkie @kojayboy]

@AvantiWestCoast perfect, thanks for the info.

[Colin Wilkie @kojayboy]

@AvantiWestCoast Since there is a huge queue for buses at GLC, if I do not travel today am I entitled to a full refund on my return ticket? Booking a new ticket is going to cost me double what I paid for.

[Colin Wilkie @kojayboy]

@AvantiWestCoast ok, thanks for the quick response!

[Colin Wilkie @kojayboy]

@AvantiWestCoast I have an advance single from GLC to EUS today at 1540. If i choose not to travel will my ticket be valid tomorrow? I assume it is unlikely normal service will be resumed by the time I depart. Cheers!

[Colin Wilkie @kojayboy]

@AvantiWestCoast Cool, so it is a bus to Carlisle then I am able to catch any of your services to EUS?

[Colin Wilkie @kojayboy]

@leifos @maxwelld90 I'm sure @maxwelld90 particularly enjoyed stopping... Well in DMax!

Congratulations to Dr. @kojayboy who passed his PhD on Retrievability Bias!!

@Aviatio01621398 @easyJet Just because the airline delay was not three hours does not mean my overall delay was less than 3. In fact, had I waited for the next available public transport or tried an alternative route I would have arrived at me destination roughly 4 and a half hours later than planned.

[Colin Wilkie @kojayboy]

@easyJet my flight from GLA-LGW has been delayed 2 hours and I will miss my train. Do you pay for my taxi to my destination?

[Colin Wilkie @kojayboy]

@Aviatio01621398 @easyJet A great regulation to protect the profits of airlines and allowing them to provide substandard services. Fantastic.

[Colin Wilkie @kojayboy]

@easyJet Surely easyJet are aware that flying late into Gatwick on the last flight will leave a large portion of their customers stranded at the airport? It's not like the public transport services had all changed their schedules at the last minute.

[Colin Wilkie @kojayboy]

@easyJet Oh that's great because the delay caused me to miss the last train and the last bus was already fully booked! There left me with the option of either paying 70quid for an Uber or sitting in Gatwick until 3qm for the next available bus.

#BIAS @iconf My poster on measuring search engine bias using Retrievability Measures: https://t.co/TAoXvv4iub that gives an idea of how people can help mitigate system bias by going deeper into the results and being more specific! Also, fairer systems tend to perform better!

@JamesMcMinn @ResearchGate the sheer volume of idiots replying was painful. I set up a filter to just bin absolutely everything that even mentioned blah@glasgow
