"But, if a composite is full of a measure that’s biased, how accurate is it going to be?"

Does it matter if the measure is biased, if you're measuring over time and looking for comparative differences?

This already kind of happens. There is a right wing commentator who blocked me as I kept fact checking his posts.

However, if I create a list and someone on that list retweets the blocker's post, I can see it.

Clearly Twitter can't be bothered to implement blocking properly, so they've taken this step to "unblock" all content.

At least it is consistent.

I want to know how these people are in the UK legally.

To get a work visa you need to be sponsored by an employer. I struggle to believe UberEats and Deliveroo are sponsoring people from Brazil to come to the UK.

I wonder if there is a technicality in the wording. It says "Ambulances have been called out" or "called to" it doesn't say they "attended" the warehouses.

999 operators will triage and prioritise ambulances based on the symptoms being exhibited.

I'd never heard of broadcast.com before, it is the inspiration for ROI (Radio on the Internet) and Russ Hanneman?

They didn't actually receive $445m in cash money though, surely? It must have been contingent on them having a working product, IT MUST????

Exactly. And almost everyone I knew who got discount boxes simply decided what recipes they liked and then bought the ingredients from the supermarket for half the price.

Are those blob storage options significantly cheaper than Google? I fear we are being pushing down a GCP route as it is what out consultancy know, rather than the best solution.

No. The application gives each document a unique filename and they are then only accessed via the application doing forwards.

No, not global. Each office only really need access to their own documents, there are over 2,000 offices though. It does need to be high speed and yes cost is a factor.

Does it have piles of human excrement like the real Venice beach?
