Sunday reflection on #GhislaineMaxwell: is it wise to publish that person X was pinged near person Y? The dillemma of public fact checking is: you need to do it in public.
Safeguards I use: 1. explain my method 2. show sources 3. Delete tweets that can be misused without context
In LinkedIn, how can I find start-ups without using the word start-up? Students of @freetechacademy asked me. I follow my mantra: "Think like a document". To find the information I'm looking for, I first analyze how the information is structured. Here is the process (1/5)
So what is typical of any start-up? They just started, duh. But what if a CEO doesn't mention the word start-up or founder? One way to approach this is to look at any given start-up and determine if there is a pattern you can use. Let's work with this profile: (2/5)
A clue is how long a CEO has worked at a company. LinkedIn uses "Jan 2022 - Present" to show experience. This could also be "Mar 2022 - Present". How do you tell Google that any month will do? To do so, we need to replace the variable (the month itself) with a star (3/5)

The next 10 tweets or so will help you to understand how you can find out exactly why the following photo was taken during flight AF1141, Amsterdam-Paris, yesterday, landing 19.56 at Paris (1/10)
According to the first photo, it was taken at 19:35 on Wednesday, April 6, 2022. I tweeted it at 19:39 on April 6, 2022. The photo must be four minutes old. Due to the white light, it's possible that I am still in the air. How did I send the photo? (2/2)
Was it over WiFi? Did it use 4G/5G? I posted a second photo to make you think it was WiFi:

As a @TwitterBlue user I will be able to edit my tweets, afterwards, as an experiment. But @TwitterBlue please include the option to read the original tweet for those who want that, like Facebook does . Otherwise edits will kill transparency .

First, I upscaled the original video to the best possible quality, better than @russianembassy posted :
Then I sharpened her face and did the first run in face recognition compare tool via Azure, using the face some people think it is (a Russian activist, see fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-u…) It's unlikely it's her. Next tweet: who is she then?
