don't drive for high TCV, the latest tech and rely on AI algos regardless what motivates your org 🙏

think critically, avoid being an #echochamber and most importantly do something that gives you a sense of purpose 💯

based on my inbox the wirecard insolvency is sending a little shock wave across a few of the fintechs - good exercise in business resilience planning 💫 #wirecard #fintech

We made a video to explain the Wirecard story:

Don't miss some great @Space_Station passes coming up. Tonight at 22:08 (UK), look west towards the setting Moon and watch for a bright light moving to overhead. Tomorrow night you'll get both the ISS (21:20) and then if @SpaceX launches as planned, you'll see that too at 21:50.

@sorsoup @matthewpskelton Reflecting on this, I’d love to see gov/councils take a lead. One option could be to rework town centres and libraries adopting a campus style approach. Ubiquitous internet with a range of spaces prompting collaboration, quiet zones, parks and green areas 📚

[Alex Ball @talkingtech]

@sorsoup @matthewpskelton I'd support this approach, ideally with more community focused spaces. Great for growing networks outside of your organisation and increasing diversity of thought. 👍 Requires employers to rethink the whole basis for their relationship with their employees.

A likely news trend for 2020.. Wonder if gender is a feature in the model or simply being inferred from the data? 🤔 #data #ethics #ml #ai #biased #finance #AppleCard #GoldmanSachs https://t.co/uMuK7RFsbQ
