It's great to be @HereEast for the 'Future is Now' conference this morning.
Fantastic to see innovators on the @noordinarypark including UCL's Steven Gray @frogo sharing the importance of investing in developing people to be critical thinkers to use AI & future technology
I thought that you now "post" messages on X as a platform. Another fail on the consistent branding on this platform!
What I love about the new "X" rebrand now it's live is that someone on the engineering team forgot to change not only the browser icon in the tab but also the apple/android app icon in the HTML header. The #LarryTheBird still lives on!

Let's gather all the @GMapsPlatform GDEs!
A little @CASAUCL reunion first, too!

Shout out to when someone returned a book *50 years* overdue. It鈥檚 never too late, people.

I've built my PhD research around the Twitter API, and today's announcement has saddened me. Arguments can be made that access to such a rich dataset is invaluable and researchers should pay, but those one-off social science projects without funding will seriously suffer.
I would max the $2.5k per month tier than 1-day collecting data around a 30km radius of London. Uni's bring lots of money in from Students, but that doesn't translate to money to buy access to datasets like this. Research (no matter your views on the source) will suffer.
It looks like it could be around ~$100 p/m. Still kills innovation and an ecosystem which has allowed many students and scientists access to build skills, validate and test ideas.

Just saw this in the Clock App in the new release of macOS Ventura, London has moved! Checking out other locations are out as well. Students just remember projections are hard!
