I’ve hidden this 'cos it’s a dupe and the other has more accurate conversation

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

    Dang, I remember pausing to consider whether I should pad the zeros or not! But if it’s too weird to use yyyy mm dd then they simply must be padded, or my nerdiness will have a fit :)

    I figured home D was kind of a parole measure, but that’s a good point, he may not have been inside the prison system beforehand - this could just be an awkward systematic failing, with tragic results…

      Oh you put the 0! Oh it could have gone either way. I presumed it was me because it seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to do 😆

      I’ve talked a little bit about a book I’ve been reading that shows that any professional judgement (judge deciding to allow someone an exemption, insurance quoter giving a big company a custom quote, deciding to grant someone asylum or not, etc) will inevitability have a huge range in decision outcomes based on the person making the decision (unless there’s a mandatory framework to base it on). It’s just really hard to make these judgment calls, and when they tested bail decisions (yes/no) judges were only right about 55% of the time (barely better than chance).
