Pleased to share that Gnssmapper, a python package for building 3D maps from gnss data, is available on pypi. This implements some of the methods developed by @AnahidBasiri and team at @UofGlasgow. Still a work in progress but hoping to add to it substantially in near future.

Grading algorithm not designed to deal with discrete data. non-zero probability (even 0.1%) of someone getting a U means someone in a class of 15 gets it, even if a higher grade is far more likely. We should have some sort of expert group that can help with that.

With hindsight, not a great outcome.

Ofqual ignored offers of expert help with its algorithm after statisticians refused to sign a highly-restrictive non-disclosure agreement

@alexjellicoe @dominijk Absent for a £5 100 litre bag of soil from what I’ve seen. I’m hoping b&q click and collect will have some but their website keeps crashing

@JolyonMaugham @olihutt It’s not asking for a bailout but support for their workers, which would be practically necessary whatever their employment status. Uber itself is well able to ride out the crisis precisely because they exploit their drivers.

@pbreit @amir That assumes you’ve been keeping your powder dry, not spaffing it up the wall and now forced to fire-sell your best assets.

@issiromem Says more about meetings than it does about cities imho

[Terry Lines @lines_terry]

@geofftech I’d be hopeful that help is on the way, it’s just a bit more involved than dealing with employees.

@jeremyphoward But the panel regression also has a low r squared (mid 20s) so I don’t think you can say there would be a clearer relationship. I haven’t read the paper and I’m not saying anything about it, just that you seem to be implying on correlation based on p-values

[Terry Lines @lines_terry]

@amir @dkhos Government should probably tap that to part cover the welfare costs of the Uber drivers. It’s amazing how a little contractual and financial engineering can make people think they are geniuses

@mattnkm Congrats

@jburnmurdoch Your visualisations are worth an ft subscription by themselves

Tired: stockpiling face masks. Wired: washing your hands. Inspired: getting infected now to ensure availability of a hospital bed and a summer with immunity.

@jburnmurdoch It would beinteresting to compare pure athletes as well (track and field, swimming, etc.) gives a better representative of the nuances than a common man

@drorpoleg Why wouldn’t Amazon slash their asking price? nobody else will take leading risk on a billion dollar building

[Terry Lines @lines_terry]

@jburnmurdoch @michael_merrick It’s a wider-ranging problem addressed in urban studies literature, as smart cities/knowledge economy critiques. government aims to attract mobile knowledge workers through reinventing cities on their behalf, requiring low status service workers.
