I am doing a survey on the privacy and transparency of location data. If you have 15 minutes, your input is appreciated :)

When @amazon delivers packages via Colis Prive in Brussels, there is a 50% chance of them getting lost. Meanwhile in Brussels you can buy lost packages by the kilo – at Oudergem, België
Bought a 20TB HDD 2 months ago, package got lost in transit. Bought it again last month, package never got "officially" lost, but the next-day delivery is still pending. Ordered it again yesterday, arrived today (yay) but seems it is broken. I think there is a curse on this HDD
With sensor or location data, the most useful additional information is accuracy. Currently experimenting with fingerprint accuracy prediction in @OpenHPS based on CCpos' CADE-CNN. It can help to determine which k-NN fingerprinting parameters to use in different zones.
🧵... It is then trained on the accuracy of the training data. It is a nice addition for providing an accuracy value to accompany location data. 2/2
CCpos is definitely worth a read btw: researchgate.net/publication…

Gamification on a 3d printer is not something I really seem to like in a software update ... – at Oudergem, België
This is a "Symet", a dumb robot I made 15 years ago, its only purpose is to collect enough sunlight and rotate around its axis. It should not waste the energy on trying to move itself unless it has enough energy to actually make a move. It still works after so many years :)
Rip Maggie Smith, you brought McGonagall to life
