esp 3 of #unprecedented by @Guto_Harri. 3 things: 1/Guto says #BorisJohnson caused own demise by lack of decisive /timely action - maybe advice was sufficiently compelling but also surprising as BJ never one to throw himself under a bus when there's someone else he could throw.
2/ Sue Gray (and #standards
Committe) was "obviously" out to get Johnson, and he's repeated this elsewhere. #unprecedented
3/ yes it was a clusterf**k with the parties etc but - and precious- "they" (the party types) had "also suffered" so this excuses all that they did. #unprecedented by @Guto_Harri is transparently "the case for Boris" and timing has been planned to influence @HarrietHarman et al

Earlier today, @STS_News asked about researchers studying the history of #standardization.

That reminded me that I haven't had a chance to share some of the highlights from @LindaHall_org's latest exhibition: The #Standards That Built America!

Time for a 🧵! (1/8) #histSTM #STS
Curated by reference assistant David Crawford, this exhibition showcases a few of the 100,000+ industrial #standards in LHL's stacks.

Many of these standards were once part of the Engineering Societies Library & are hard to find anywhere else! (2/8)

libguides.lindahall.org/standards_spec…
LHL's #standards are often overlooked compared to our #RareBooks & #Journals, but they tell an important #engineering story. Groups like @ansidotorg, @IEEESA & @isostandards have helped promote interoperability, safety & accessibility in a variety of technological contexts. (3/8)

Anlässlich der Debatte um das 🇪🇺#Verbrenner"verbot", die von 🇩🇪 jetzt auch nach 🇦🇹 schwappt, hier etwas Hintergrund zum optimalen #policy #mix, wenn es darum geht, den technologischen Fortschritt in eine #CO2-freie Richtung zu lenken, aus umweltökonomischer Sicht 1/
1. Instrument der Wahl ist i.d. Theorie eine umfassende #CO2-Bepreisung in angemessener Höhe (z.B. = #Schadenskosten) mit sozial ausgewogener #Rückvergütung: CO2-Preis korrigiert fehlenden Preis für Umweltgüter, der #fossile Kraftstoffe zu günstig macht 2/
Aber i.d. Realität lässt sich ein angemessen hoher CO2-Preis nicht überall umsetzen: Weil a) der ökonomisch #perfekte Markt nicht existiert (weitere #Marktversagen), und b) sich aus #sozialen Gründen im Gebäude- und Verkehrsbereich keine so hohen CO2-Preise durchsetzen lassen 3/

Joining @SCURLScottish and @cigscot for their EDI Network Conference featuring @infogamerist and #EthicalMetadata and a Keynote from DeLa Dos, Senior Director, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion @ARLnews
#SCURLEDI
Ellie Muniandy, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer, @natlibscot speaks eloquently about #EDI Workforce Development and how implementing EDI requires a deep and meaningful change in perspective and working culture #SCURLEDI
@natlibscot Organisational culture change can take a long time - there are different levels to implementing EDI from 'quick wins' in libraries like mandatory EDI training for all, to long-term objectives like changing the way we talk about and describe our collections. #SCURLEDI

In that period, we suffered derision, insult & indifference, but still we battled

But, as with all things standards-making, as we discovered via @Standards4EU, the path was never straight

However, we created the most dynamic draft #Standard seen to date

There’re certain fundamentals that can’t be breached based on sentiments. Pilots must have uncorrected distance visual acuity no worse than 20/70 in each eye, & vision must be correctable to 20/20 or better in each eye. #GettingItRightNG🇳🇬
It doesn’t matter if your tribe/religion is not represented enough in the profession. Bend the rules and risk human lives in droves with certainty of the compromise & ruin of the mode of transportation.

Stampeding the blind to lead the blind is counterproductive. #Standards 🎙
Pilots must have uncorrected distance visual acuity no worse than 20/70 in each eye, and vision must be correctable to 20/20 or better in each eye. Enlistees' vision must be fully evaluated during a pre-entry qualification physical.

In the last year I’ve been suppressed by YouTube, shadowbanned and suspended on Facebook and Twitter, and completely removed from Wikipedia. Can't imagine the feelings I've hurt behind the scenes but I must be doing something right. Truth stings and I will not be leaving quietly.
.@TeamYouTube "human review" flagged this video for "harmful or dangerous acts" as well as "violence" - show me the violence. Apparently footage of peaceful protests from around the world are not to be tolerated. YT and @SusanWojcicki hate free speech. Image

1. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19? #Brexit?

#Dogma!

I've had some very clear views since the beginning of the year on the challenges facing Travel and the difficulties ahead. I've taken a cautionary approach based on research

theguardian.com/politics/2012/…
2. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19? #Brexit?

#Dogma!

I also happen to believe that if @GOVUK & #TravelIndustry go into a huddle with each other, on issues that directly affect #Consumers, then we should read/hear what they have discussed & have decided

theguardian.com/politics/2012/…
3. #Travel? #Holidays? #COVID19? #Brexit?

#Dogma!

For many years I have passionately advocated #ConsumerRights & believe that @GOVUK should advocate those rights incl taking unilateral action to enforce provisions where they think the law's been broken

I see #NHSEx has published the slides from its @HDR_UK “Data Access & Discovery” event, charmingly subtitled “A Forest Through the TREs” - on YouTube, if you want to listen:



__
*I thought the phrase was “cannot see the forest for the TREs”, but hey...
Let’s take a look:

hdruk.ac.uk/wp-content/upl…

One reason we use the category term #TRE to refer to Trusted Research (or any other use) Environments that meet the #FiveSafes is that everyone wants to call their own TRE something different, so no-one really knows what they mean...
Call yours what you like (e.g. for @ONS it's their Secure Research Service) but if it only does four #Safes, or three Safes - and if it isn’t also #consensual and fully #transparent - then it's not a #trustworthy TRE...

Who else attended today's @OECD Development Co-operation Report 2021 launch event on shaping a just #DigitalTransformation?✋

Panelists expanded upon some of the report's key themes, including:

📅 Acting now!
⬆️ More #coordination
🖼️ Strong #frameworks
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 #InclusiveDevelopment
But we also heard a lot about #DigitalPublicGoods (#DPGs). Like... A LOT a lot.

So, what's the connection between #DPGs and a just, #inclusive #DigitalTransformation? Why have so many #donors, national #governments, and #tech experts alike expressed interest in #DPG solutions?
Well, they all agree that #DigitalTransformation is at a tipping point globally, with the divisions between wealthy and developing nations especially stark: 96% of the world's unconnected people live in developing countries.

Hey, you! Are you interested in the crypto / DLT markets?

If so, did you know there are red flags that need to be investigated behind the $XRP lawsuit from the @SECGov?

It's called a conspiracy, but there is a lot of physical evidence that is being ignored.

Thread🧵 ⏬ #XRP
@SECGov 1. We did this for the #XRPcommunity because we stand for truth.
We stand for unbiased technology-neutral legislation.
We know $XRP is not a security. The only country in the world that thinks its a security is the USA because of biased officials in power.

See the facts below⏬
@SECGov 2. First of all a big shoutout to all #crypto citizens that are standing up and pointing out the red flags behind some SEC officials.

This thread and visuals are based on facts from @JohnEDeaton1 @CryptoLawUS doc library.

First of all, shout out to the writers as this was well written on global DLT @KingsCollegeLon

If you are into global law, regulated DLT, and G20 topics, this is a technical one to review as it has lots of good thoughts.

g20-insights.org/policy_briefs/…

Proposal:

The G20 is uniquely placed to implement policies that leverage the benefits of cryptocurrencies, in particular, DLT for faster and more efficient transactions process.

New IMF Document Released Jan 26, 2022.

Blockchain Consensus Mechanisms - A primer for global IMF supervisors.
Differences between PoW, PoS, DPoS, & fBFT ($XRP $XLM)

#XRP #XLM Mentioned! #regulated #research #blockchain #DLT #XRPCommunity
--Thread of important quotes--
1. This is a very important document as the IMF represents a consortium of 190 countries and pushing for carbon-neutral countries by 2030.

They are sharing their views in which supervisors around the world will read and use this information to help form their opinion.
2. If you want a video overview I took 4 hours to edit and record this full document overview.

Timestamps and info are in the thread / Video description to make things easier as well!
