@GWRHelp I have an advance ticket for London > Stroud on Sun 4th Feb which has been cancelled. Why are there no trains running? It's not a strike day for GWR. What am I meant to do?

[Luke Harrison @lukeharrison_77]

@AlDoubleU @ruhawksley That's not a similar journey. Bordeaux to Paris is 585km, Taunton to London is 250km. The fact they take a similar amount of time is just another failing of our railways.

@B33chy1 @Mattisamazing33 As prices have exploded it's no surprise more people have resorted to longer mortgage term to be able to afford a mortgage. In the long term of course it means overall cost is even higher.

@justblindbaek Nice solution. In this pattern do you scale down the SQL DB after Power BI refresh - so end users are only accessing the Power BI data model, with no ability to query the star schema model?

@GregP63 @BigData_LDN Bags having to be checked

@BigData_LDN Huge queues outside to get in!

@SeattleDataGuy Where would the fun be in that!

Does good grammar make you more attractive on dating apps? 😘
Our friends at @ProWritingAid
think good grammar is sexy and did the research to back it up. The results were surprisingly controversial!

https://t.co/1pScB42GFa Is Tesla's high market capitalisation driven largely by the data being captured? Incentivising safer driving has to be a good thing - but will UK customers want to be tracked in such detail?

@cheesymike @GWRHelp Or the beer tent to recover from the experience of trying to use the bike spaces on the new @GWRHelp trains, whilst paying £100 for the privilege of a 90 minute journey

[Luke Harrison @lukeharrison_77]

@LessGrumpy @lottyburns And what about taxing capital?

@thedataprof The "soft skills" part is massively important - a good data scientist combines strong tech/maths skills with business acumen and communication

@EthicsBristol Looks like a good feature, not too different to how tracking is handled in Firefox

@RossRJ Very true - I did the first 3 months using my phone as a hotspot till we had fibre. Worked great until someone called!

I use a lot of graphs in my role, but this one has to be one of the most important. Up over 300k vaccines per day is impressive. From small acorns...
