In today’s episode “Fix the forms, one at a time”, a very unpleasant reminder of why it’s so important to track your forms through every part of the process

Context: Met Police revealed full details of a woman including home address to a male officer she complained about

Hannah Fearn@hannahfearn

The Met has admitted the data was shared, but claims it was a mistake and a one off. Nevertheless, it's had to redraw its complaints form to prevent it accidentally happening again, as a result of human error.

I've been thinking about the Stanford marshmallow experiment today. Psych is not my area of expertise, but I want to share what thoughts I have on this.

The Stanford marshmallow experiment was conducted in 1972 (with follow-ups). It measures delayed gratification. /thread

This feels very relevant.

I really feel like the best thing those of us who are in it can do is try to make it easier to get in and step aside. We're part of the problem. https://twitter.com/claragt/status/1314479896723365889

3. The UCD and UX industry is hard to crack into. Even if you can afford the masters or the bootcamp and the poorly paid internships or junior roles, you still have to pass the gatekeepers and learn the language.

Our industry has huge diversity issues.

I’m reading “The Power of Privilege: How White Women Can Challenge Racism” by @junesarpong

Recommended - explains the issues (with a UK flavour), gives us practical things to do - and men / non-binary folks can do them, too.

In an episode of "Is this AI feasible?" @SarahTaber_bww explains why she expects the 'robot gun dog' will not be robust enough to work in practice.

An really interesting thread for #farming too.

Dr Sarah Taber@SarahTaber_bww

I haven't worked w police/military robotics so I can't speak to exactly how these are built.

But I can tell you, IME roboticists can be really naive about environmental conditions: making robots sturdy enough to handle rain, dirt, & other outdoor realities.
