@YouGov The full per-VI-poll data table files seem to have been moved or lost in the web site redesign. Is there somewhere new I can find them?

@GeneGenie666 @ElectionMapsUK @FindoutnowUK Rounding, basically. It means that these percentages don't always add up to 100. (I saw two polls from the same provider where one added up to 99% and the next added up to 102% - it looked very odd in terms of differences...)

@FindoutnowUK Minor correction: the data tables claim (on the cover page) that fieldwork was today (October 16th). The blog post claims (more believably) that the fieldwork was yesterday (October 15th).

@ElectionMapsUK @BMGResearch Any sign of the full data tables yet? I can't find them (having tried variations of the slightly-inconsistent link conventions used for past VI polls).

@troyhunt @Charlotte_Hunt_ Yup, Alicia posted a separate FB post that she'd been hacked. (I don't use FB much at all; I haven't checked whether things have progressed further.)

@Charlotte_Hunt_ I suspect that whoever Alicia Gilbert is has had her account compromised and the phisher is just tagging people in her network. Nasty stuff.

Super nasty phish: saw this pop up on my Facebook and initial reaction to the first image was “shit, @jonskeet is dead”. Then the next image talks about a crash with a link to a story. Fortunately FB then gives you a massive warning, before linking through to the phish.

Can you elaborate on why storing as ms since 1970 (epoch) and then converting that to wherever the user is on the frontend doesn’t work? What edge cases are here? I swear yall vaguely say stuff like this “ohhh it’s soooo complex” to make yourselves feel better/smarter. Happy to learn but otherwise this reads as smugness.

@matthew_abbott_ Please file an issue on GitHub (github.com/googleapis/goo…) - I hadn't even seen this until just now as I don't use X these days. (Using GitHub also means it will get to any member of the relevant team, whether I'm still working in the team or not...)

@jonskeet Apologies, I don't know if you still work around this area - the Google.Apis.MyBusiness.v4 NuGet package has been delisted, however as far as I can tell, I can only access location reviews using the v4.9 API, do you know who I'm best placed to talk to about this?

@jawsfan66 @HadestownUK @hadestown Fair enough. It won't be a gasp from me either way, unfortunately - too far back in the queue. But never mind. (Seeing it tomorrow night and then the OBC in March, so I'm not exactly Hadestown-impoverished...)

@jawsfan66 @HadestownUK @hadestown You mean you don't gasp anyway, despite knowing what's going to happen? I don't think anything will stop me from pretty much weeping at "And brother, you know what they did? They danced!" (I know H/P isn't meant to be the "main" romance story, but it's the one that moves me most)

It’s just John, folks. Stay calm.
@HadestownUK @hadestown We need a few people in the audience who don’t know the show so we can get an audible gasp at the right time. Also, hoping the video’s editor uses cuts sparingly and uses lots of wide shots instead tight close ups and medium shots. I want it to feel like live theater, not TV.
