⚠️ Caution...this fact for #PiDay might blow your mind. ⚠️

I’m speaking on Demystifying Value at 12:30-12:50! Sign up to hear more about @sci_ba’s Value Concept model and distinguishing between stakeholder, business, and customer value.

@bakevin ?! :)

@bakevin ...?

@bakevin @benthompson Huh. On the list form tomorrow then.

Deleted because there are no technical details, and a Chrome dev has explicitly denied there is anything untoward happening. FWIW, I was only trying to add my personal anecdote, in which a fan issue that had persisted for months across many reboots was (and is!) fixed.

@OutoftheBoxBA If the Dems stole the presidency why didn’t they alter the rest of the ballots to take the Senate too? Seems like quite shortsighted malfeasance to me.

For every person who believes election fraud occurred, that the election was stolen, or that the process is rigged in some way: I URGE you, implore you to be an election judge next time. You will learn how judges are trained and the safeguards that are placed within

@bakevin @IIBA He will be missed. I think it is fair to say that IIBA would not exist without his dedication and effort.

@ivarjacobson I hope you all have the best luck and the best care, Ivar.

Hello All Friends, I have just tested positive to COVID-19. I know the risks but that is just statistics. I will do my best to beat this ugly virus. My wife and my 4 year old son is a bigger concern to me. They don’t have any symptoms yet. We just have to wait and see. Ivar

@ryanfolstersa All models are wrong; some are useful. I suspect the #VCM is both the least wrong and the most complete that a model of value can be. Other models discard necessary detail. They are simplistic and complicated. The VCM is simple and complex.

The part that resonates with me is the simplicity, specifically the definition of 'thing' and how that can represents many aspects. Still need to dig deeper but that stood out!

@ryanfolstersa What have you discovered so far?

Love this!

Kevin has written a succinct summary of my simplified Value Concept Model (VCM). It’s worth a fast read - and a slow think. This model has profound explanatory power that you won’t grasp until you *practice* finding all the concepts to real situations.

@bakevin You should never have grown the goatee.

@deume @bakevin @BBCapability I'm no expert on Marx, but his theories on value do not fit the reality of how value is assessed.

@bakevin @chris_analyst @BBCapability Consider that the ‘Person’ here is really the ‘evaluator’ - any entity capable of assigning a value to a thing in a context. For example, when a set of human biases and value judgements are embedded into an machine learning algorithm, the machine becomes the evaluator.

@bakevin @chris_analyst @BBCapability “Other priorities” indeed. :) I’m glad to see this Value core concept model getting some airtime. It is applicable to any situation where an evaluation occurs - which is a lot broader than you might think at first glance.

@bakevin @BBCapability I'm also thrilled to have @bakevin helping clarify value. It is such a pivotal concept, yet also a profoundly misunderstood idea.

@bakevin @BBCapability I'm excited to hear how it is received. A core concept model that describes the act of evaluation is surprisingly powerful.

@bakevin @TECHNATIONca Congratulations, Kevin. Municipalities are in dire need of assistance! I’m glad you’re on the job.

@bakevin I love you too, my friend. I wish we had more time.

I have bad news. The cancer has spread. I likely have weeks-to-months, but not more. The end might come suddenly. The FB link and video will tell you more, as will my post today. It is what I know until the end of next week. Be well. Julian facebook.com/groups/ThereAr…
