Founder of the slow analytics movement; hand-crafted, artisinal analytics reporting made from scratch and lots of finger-counting.

@bernhardsson @evaarh ditto to what Eva said. public company i work at has an NDR >100% (which to me passes the “it’s stable” test) so we frequently refer to the run rate, mrr, arr, etc. sometimes it just depends on the audience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@karaswisher just listened to podcast that addressed the facebook layoffs—what’s with all these CEOs that taking “full responsibility”? because i’m sure not seeing any *accountability*

@maria_antoniak @EntilZhaPR the arthur ross terrace, next door to the planetarium, is a great place to hang out.

@profgalloway I think you missed the main point discussing harry and meghan's interview with @karaswisher: being a mixed race family is difficult as hell, and their experience shows that even in such a visible & powerful position, racism will drive you to depression (and worse)

As a non-American living in America, during a pandemic, I'm both awed and horrified by this country's reverence for work.

"Part of the new process will include a review and outline of the kinds of research the company believes it should be conducting."

Interesting how they fire me after I ask what the parameters of the research I can do at Google are.

What they're announcing is more censorship.

Ted Cruz tweeting a glowing tribute to Rush Limbaugh from a resort in Cancun (where he flew tonight while his constituents are literally freezing to death) is peak @GOP.

@aliasmrchips She is not my rep thank god, but still being in Colorado makes it feel too close for comfort. I would bet money she sent messages like that.

I have a few guesses 🤔

Who was giving insurgents real time information on the location of lawmakers?

I've stopped using datetime.strftime() and just use f-strings. #Python

Did you know that you can do this?

Instead of
>>> somedate.strformat("%Y-%m-%d")
do
>>> F"{somedate:%Y-%m-%d}"

Yann LeCun does not realize he works at a propaganda outlet 🤔

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Indeed @RichardDawkins, propaganda outlets, not social media, are the source of harmful disinformation.
For the US & UK, the common cause is Rupert Murdoch's media empire.
Many other countries use social media just as much but have not reached similar levels of polarization.

Sheryl Sandberg is Facebook misinformation.

The more I think about what happened the more frustrated I get that entire social science disciplines like political science and history have been trying to warn us about this since 2015, but few in media or the DC political establishment took them seriously.

Here’s the scary moment when protesters initially got into the building from the first floor and made their way outside Senate chamber.

[Ines Montani @_inesmontani]

I've long admired tech zine creators like @b0rk & @sailorhg, and I needed a creative outlet. So I started on a little @spacy_io zine. I can't draw, so I'm going for "cheatsheet meets coffee table book" 📚🎨✨

If I got this printed as a mini book, would anyone be interested?

[Adrian Palacios @measurestuff]

@profgalloway in last week's pivot you related from the airbnb S1 that "most guests discover airbnb organically" and wondered aloud if this is finally an example of a company not paying the goog/fb tax. how do we reconcile that with the >$1B sales/marketing spend in '18 and '19?

Eminem came up on this Daily Mix next and totally ruined the vibe. Even his new stuff is still terrible.
