Data Bites: the brilliant buffet of public sector data returns

A quick intro from me to #DataBites for @thinkdigitalptns.bsky.social

If you need reminding, #DataBites is an event series showcasing interesting data projects and perspectives across the public sector

Each speaker has 8 minutes to present, followed by 8 minutes of questions - there are 8 bits in a byte, hence 8 minutes in a Data Bite

Each event has 4 speakers...

Data Bites #55 was a great success this week.

We heard from @climateemergencyuk.bsky.social and @mysociety.bsky.social on climate action scorecards. Very informative.

2) Big businesses

Your list has some of the mostly nice, smaller ones, but where are the behemoths? Some of them sponsor/speak at events (like Think Digital or Databites ;)) but much of their work is less in the public domain. It may not always call itself public sector reform but...

Yesterday's newsletter was a special edition: my favourite data visualisation resources. A few years back I started a list of favourite tools and resources. Each year I update the list to add new resources, clear out older/defunct items: theoutlier.co.za/databites/20...

How is Indian wealth different?
Unlike the US (78.9% financial assets), India's wealth model is property-heavy and low-debt.
Financial assets: Only 25.8% of gross wealth.
Debt: Just 8.2% (vs 10.9% in US).

Hi Hetan,

Couldn't agree more. Have you met @gavinfreeguard.bsky.social over at DataBites?

Was speaking to head of DWP Data management at his last one and boy is that a task I wouldn't want to be in charge of.

I've had my own conflicts.

As summer peaks in May, solar power shines brightly. Its share in India's electricity generation has nearly doubled from 14% to 29% over the last five years.

The bottom of India's economic pyramid is shrinking!

New analysis shows that almost all households in the bottom 10% (from 2011-12) have moved up to higher income deciles by 2024. Only 0.5% stayed at the very bottom.
