I took @olympiaohanian on her first Date last night ❤️ Of course she got cold (just like her mama) and I gave her my jacket.

@tracyalloway @patio11 Among the things we talked about:

-The recent Southwest debacle.
-The software that they use at banks. --The distribution of tech talent.
-Why glitches happen in any software system.
-And why the US government basically needs rich volunteers in order get its tech in order.

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

NEW ODD LOTS:

This was a really fun, different kind of conversation for us. @tracyalloway and I talked to the great @patio11 about technology, and why so much of corporate American, gov, non-profit etc. still runs on ancient software systems https://t.co/siEiCRFZYl

Yep. That part. 👇🏻

What happens when your software can't keep up? All businesses at scale today are software businesses. The reality for those that don't keep up, don't maintain and don't enhance? Everything is 'fine' - until catastrophically it isn't - inevitable spiral in revenue and reputation.

What will the Shopping Life™ look like in 2023? You might be able to predict some of the trends, but a few will surprise you. We have 6, based on a year of our proprietary research. https://t.co/Jfy6YqycOq

Let me add this earlier thread about the *actual* state of research funding in the United States for Long Covid. Not good.

[zeynep tufekci @zeynep]

It *looks* like there's a lot of research, when in fact, there's not much of the kind of research that matters.

So many publications, and yet, so little real information.

One solid high-quality study > many convenience samples that add to academic CVs.

[zeynep tufekci @zeynep]

Terrible because, as the authors point out, these studies and meta-analyses from them:

-lack "population representativeness and statistical power to make broader conclusions"

-can't "infer any causal relationship"

-"prohibit examinations of changes in symptoms over time"

Fun fact about this since Jeremiah is getting the attention he deserves!

He had no idea which player he was going to interview. We were looking for Josh, & Davante ended up standing right by us so it was very spur of the moment. AKA he had no time to prep those stats 🤯
