@hal_ashton Very interesting insights in your session on the Data Skeptic podcast Hal - thanks for sharing.

@JulietteJDI @MacroVoices Glad you are back on Macrovoices. Always good insightful stuff.

If you like to hear from me you are in for a treat Juliette Declercq's Biggest Macro Trends | Real Vision and @macrovoices is out tomorrow. Two completely different interviews. realvision.com/shows/the-expe…

Thanks for flagging the #unsync library @mkennedy @pythonbytes. A great find. Here is a tutorial I pulled together using #unsync to make a simple Python trading bot work asynchronously very easily bit.ly/2zACfum . The #unsync docs are currently too thin.

@calvinhp Great point 6 on @pythonbytes podcast. Question - do you already have a link to a note or tutorial on how to fetch secrets from a password manager?

@ErikSTownsend There may be a disconnect between the global 10x (if that is your analysis) and the country level rises now in Europe and the US.

@ErikSTownsend It looks quicker than that to me Erik if you look at the country case counts. e.g. here look at US or Germany case count on log scale. The 10x is only 8 or 9 days worldometers.info/coronavirus/co…

A little good news: In this vid I said the x10 period for COVID19 is 13 days. That was true based on dates of 1k and 10k cases. On closer examination, a linear regression on the full dataset reveals a mean 16-day time for tenfold increase in cases. (continued in reply)

Very good article on Amazon and data. bbc.co.uk/news/extra/CLQ…

@MphoMphego @brettsky Nice pythonic API with nox. Same job as tox but I think simpler to use and configure. Suggest you skim the docs. It makes it clear. nox.thea.codes/en/stable/tuto…

@brettsky Without me googling, what's the difference between tox and nox

I am often asked, how is every click, every search, every transaction you make on the web sold and de-anonymized? Here is the best answer I’ve seen: vice.com/amp/en_us/arti…

@brettsky Good idea. Forgetting to bump the version number is the biggest culprit for rework in my experience. 🤦

Given the smoothness of videos, can we learn models more efficiently than with #backprop? We present Sideways - a step towards a high-throughput, approximate backprop that considers the one-way direction of time and pipelines forward and backward passes. arxiv.org/pdf/2001.06232…

Curse the glare! But blessings to our amazing team on Friday night at @hooplaimpro - @walshatkins @Ali_James22 @TheEpicLLOYD & @paulsilkywhite with Joe on lights. What a blast!

Great paper on the life and pensions insurance innovation. The 'getting over the wall, and up the hill' analogy is spot on. That's the big challenge today.

So I'm listening to @GretaThunberg being interviewed on #BBCR4today. She is amazingly articulate and focused. A great ambassador for such an important cause. Meanwhile scanning Twitter, I see so much hate and vitriol. Will the adults please grow up.

Love this idea of building the "X of Y". In a way, @hokodotech aims to build the @stripe of #insurance. andrewchen.co/x-for-y-startu…

@paulsilkywhite @andyholl @OFalafel @AnneliesAppleby @rmunrofawcett @BarnabyAldrick @Sparkles_Susie This is definitely a thing. Lovely. Sadly I'm badgerless ...

@BittermanThe @JulietteJDI Juliette. I think it is fantastic that you choose to live in this country and contribute so much of your talent here. Please ignore the idiots and the bigots if you can.

@JulietteJDI Juliette, I listen to you on macrovoices. Good stuff. I can't help but notice that, by your accent, you're probably not a British national. I could be wrong. If I am correct, what do you think gives you the right to be a remainer shill?

What a fine British man. independent.co.uk/voices/general…

@dylanemery @ruthbratt Bet it was good.

For those fancy seeing the remarkable @ruthbratt and myself engaging in heroic levels of dicking about, we'll be in Shoreditch tonight...

@ruthbratt Brilliant! Have you seen the rubber chicken version too? youtu.be/khOfSVULtsU
