Great to see this step towards transparency (more of this please!) and looking forward to finding out more about the governance and accountability measures being put in place for this “single source of truth” for NHS data.
One thing though: combining data into a dashboard does not create a single source of truth. Seeing all the data together is more convenient but not necessarily more “true”; in fact it is more likely to consolidate incorrect assumptions. Governance and audit are essential.
As someone outside of the government machine, working with Palantir on dashboards called to mind this blogpost by Dominic Cummings. Single data points, truths and dashboards might seem comforting right now, but they’re not magical dominiccummings.com/2019/06/26/on-…

This Radio 4 adaptation of Middlemarch is absolutely wonderful bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
I’ve finished this, and the last 11 minutes are a lovely, weepy glory to behold. And it felt somehow important, today, to hear the very last line read aloud:
“the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”

I had a chat with the @nytimes yesterday about NHS, Alexa and Matt Hancock’s enthusiasm for innovation nytimes.com/2019/07/10/wor…
@nytimes I want to go back to the biggest reason this is concerning: NHS content has been produced for and paid for by tax payers. Amazon’s analytics and logistics are unparalleled. The NHS is broke. As NHS waiting times get longer, Amazon will get better at instant gratification.
Yes there are privacy issues. Yes there are point of use issues around accuracy and accessibility. But the market opportunity this gives to Amazon - whether for retail, pharmacy, a new domiciliary care offer, pay-per-consultation advice, who knows? - is significant.

This is worth reading. US parents who have forgotten how to play or exist without their phones are hiring phone-free parenting coaches. nytimes.com/2019/07/06/sty…
Now: why is everyone doing this despite their being no scientific evidence that screentime is bad for children? (See theguardian.com/commentisfree/…)

I have not one, but two hot takes about this, so buckle in.
1) Screentime may or may not be bad for children, but parents can see it *is* bad for families. Family life relies on *being together*: routine, ennui, casual intimacy, respect and rules, goddamit, and none of that can happen if everyone is in their own little screen bubble.

#COVID19InNigeria; TIME FOR SOBER REFLECTION
A crises is most times an eye opener to certain gaps that many of us see & talk about but get attacked & shut up. COVID19 has exposed our failings & inadequacies as a nation which I hope we will address WHEN & IF this is over
Our first failure as a nation is the allocation of meagre resources to Education & Health which has worsened over the years and is on the verge of collapse while foreign countries remain the major education & healthcare centres for the political class, elites & their families.
It is laughable that most state governments are now scrambling to open 10 beds or so isolation units. Why don't we have well equipped health crises units considering the population of the country & other contagious disease that are seasonal such as measles & cholera?

This is a thread for the folks why have read the Royal College of London report and are now not okay as a result.

I am here to talk you down from the wall.
A naive reading of the report suggests that the social distancing measures being put into place might keep from overloading the health care system in the short term, but are ultimately futile, because as soon as they are let up the virus will reinfect a huge reservoir of hosts.
Those reading the report this way might take away the message that we're either (a) doomed to see everything collapse, or (b) doomed to an eternity of social isolation.

If that's you, I have good news.

Short thread on what should be bothering you that the Horowitz report revealed but the #FakeNewsMedia won’t report.

17 bombs dropped in IG Horowitz report regarding FISA abuses referred to as errors and omissions.

That’s all good, but wait there’s more...

Allow me to bring your attention to this article posted by The Guardian in 2017 bragging that it was British spies who first spotted Trumps links to Russia. Recall debunked and disgraced Steele was former MI6.

When did they spot this? Late 2015.

2/
GCHQ first became aware late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents, source close to UK intelligence said. This intelligence was passed to the US as part of a *routine* exchange of information, they added.

My international passport will expire soon. I started the process of renewing it. I paid online and will go for ‘Capturing’ today.

I will share my experience and timeline on this thread. I hope someone finds it useful.

#Passportrenewalexperience
2. Yeah! IJGB - I just got back from the passport office in Ikoyi.

I deliberately left out the location in my earlier tweet not to avoid ‘bias’. Firstly, let me describe the online application process, including payment.

@nigimmigration

#Passportrenewalexperience
3. The online application process is very straight forward. Just follow the link at immigration.gov.ng. If you can find your way around here on Twitter, then there shouldn’t be a problem navigating the site. My application is for renewal.
