It is Cambridge May Ball week, that traditional period of the year in which residents cannot sleep because of the special treatment colleges receive. Here's a guide to the next night in which you will be woken up and by whom https://www.whichcambridgecollege.com/balls/
A city with a complex road network, and not falling in an American or British tech bubble: Genoa, Italy. A good test for how much we believe large scale Internet services (Google Maps) to tell the truth, which for me resulted in:
- locations of bus stops costantly off
- transit information like a metro being shown as running (it was suspended for expansion works)
- a museum being shown as closed (while it had extended hours due to summer time)
- walking from a stop to an airport on roads without sidewalks and crossing into direct traffic (they always had a problem with walking directions)
Soon to be brought to you by an AI made to be convincing, regardless of whether it can tell you the truth.
Very interesting idea yesterday by @kevinrutherford to use Eventstorming in the process notation to explore a team's own work rather than a business domain. Helped me a lot in coming up with a consistent language, and seeing hotspot areas; a compiler for practices. As always, I run out of space!
