@Dev_Meeja Sorry to hear that Becky, some tips that might be useful here (including non uk customer service numbers): flyertalk.com/forum/british-…

Oh @British_Airways you've cancelled my mum's flight tomorrow, she's locked out of the online booking and we've called 5 times and get told nobody is available and disconnected. Merry Christmas 🤦🏼♀️

There are zero schools closed for extreme heat in Columbus, and that’s because teachers went on strike last year to win A/C in every classroom across 110 buildings. I’m sure the op-ed applauding teachers unions for keeping kids in school is right around the corner.

It is 93 degrees outside, 86 schools are closed for extreme heat, and 0 pools are open.

@PrachiSrivas @norrag Thanks for sharing! Also interesting re this call for nominations: un.org/techenvoy/cont…

@OteghaUwagba @claremseal True, but the other issue is that they’re definitely shutting off any buybacks (you know about buybacks right?)
English
@claremseal Jesus. Last time I was there was 2016 and I remember thinking how archaic.. assumed they'd have caught up by now because wtf.

Given I'm going to New York next week can someone explain to me what the issue is here/how you're supposed to pay for drinks at a bar?
willy 🌜💧@willystaley
At the bar last night, the Zoomers were all paying with credit cards and closing out on every round. This is psycho behavior. Someone needs to teach these children how to go to the bar.

@BeccaEHarrison Not sure, but certainly can't have been loads bigger if it was possible to do incremental backups to a home worker over ISDN!
Sun press releases might be a good place to track storage/processing setups though, e.g.

@BeccaEHarrison A year or two out but this interview on the famous Toy Story 2 deletion incident suggests ~ 10gb? thenextweb.com/news/how-pixar…

@DarcysMick It needs to be an objection to the revoking recommendation though right? The “support” or “object” options are ambiguous..
English
@cjayanetti @JonnElledge With you on that, but I'd be interested to know how big a market hold the software that automically does that for them (well, for their letting agents) has got in the UK...
In US it seems to have a similar affect to a price fixing cartel: propublica.org/article/yields…
English
@JonnElledge we don't know how many are leaving the market, but I think it's a common mistake to assume that the private landlord sector is full of Fergus Wilsons keeping a hawkish eye on market rates
English
could have sworn this wasn't going to happen because landlords already charge the maximum amount the market is prepared to pay etc etc ah well nevertheless bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

@emily_wight Oh I'm so happy you liked it, and quite jealous! Hope to hear of some new places to add to my list when you're back!

@ciaojames James we just went to osteria 15, what a recommendation! Amazing food! Thank you!

Setting off on my second annual Italian 🚂adventure this weekend, and first up we are visiting Milan and then Bologna for four nights. Looks like it will be raining, but hopefully warmer than London. Any food/drink/cultural recommendations, let me know 🙂

internet nerds: any fun online tools or tricks you use to analyse subreddits/users?

@MsSMoreau Belle Époque in newington green / Islington for divine French patisserie.

Where’s the best bakery in London for cakes? I’m surprising my favourite person with a birthday cake. They’re more fussed about flavour/texture than decor. I have under a week to do it, help pals 🌻

@EvaWiseman It’s nightmarish. I consider myself lucky that I’ve always had a pretty uncomplicated relationship with food (which I’ll be honest - is probably because I have a fast metabolism!) but I can’t imagine how challenging this is if you don’t
English
Sorry but what the eff is going on. Media coverage of thinness suddenly being ‘back’ has gone from breathless ‘reportage’ to just out and out pushing disordered eating. It’s getting irresponsible now.

@PrachiSrivas @li_lichinglim @AHAkramLodhi @IPESfood @DavidArcherAA @kmaloufbous @yonanestel @Hughka @daveswords @CarlyMunnelly as ever, though, your thoughts on what is most needed to build on this are extremely welcome!
English
@PrachiSrivas @li_lichinglim @AHAkramLodhi @IPESfood @DavidArcherAA @kmaloufbous @yonanestel @Hughka @daveswords @CarlyMunnelly wrote this great paper recently that has some good analysis of impact of debt on education financing:
resourcecentre.savethechildren.net/pdf/education-…
& I think it's a good companion to @DavidArcherAA & colleague's Jun 22 paper: actionaid.org/sites/default/…

@timnitGebru I would love to watch this but the page is saying it's sold out. Is there a way to fix that since this is virtual or do you need to limit numbers?
English
A lot has happened since we wrote the paper 2 years ago that got @mmitchell_ai & I fired from Google.
I personally didn't think that this would be what the media would talk about day in and day out that I'd get so tired of it.
