Weather Underground Gold Stars

Why did my personal weather station lose its Weather Underground gold star?
00:02 - 00:05 | Here is a Weather Underground map... |
00:06 - 00:09 | ...of all the personal weather stations around us. |
00:10 - 00:12 | As you can see |
00:13 - 00:15 | our PWS is the only one without a gold star. |
00:17 - 00:19 | The only PWS in the entire region |
00:20 - 00:24 | without a gold star? |
00:25 - 00:27 | Yes, I'm afraid |
00:28 - 00:31 | the only one. |
00:54 - 00:57 | Everyone who's WU station has a gold star |
00:58 - 01:04 | please leave the room. |
01:12 - 01:15 | What did we do wrong?!?!? |
01:16 - 01:19 | What is wrong with our uploaded data? |
01:20 - 01:23 | We are running a Davis station |
01:24 - 01:27 | with a 24-hour FARS! |
01:31 - 01:33 | The Netatmo station down the street... |
01:34 - 01:37 | ...sitting in the sun... |
01:38 - 01:40 | ...even has a gold star!!! |
01:40 - 01:42 | But sir, IBM acquired WU. |
01:43 - 01:46 | Why would you think that IBM could fix anything? |
01:47 - 01:50 | Because they developed the PC and Watson. |
01:51 - 01:55 | Weather Underground is too far broken for even IBM to fix. |
01:56 - 01:59 | I want my gold star back... |
02:00 - 02:03 | ...or I'm going to stop sending them my data! |
02:05 - 02:08 | How dare they judge our data quality |
02:09 - 02:13 | against the garbage that the people outside the door are uploading! |
02:14 - 02:17 | I want my gold star back... |
02:18 - 02:21 | ...no matter what the cost! |
02:27 - 02:30 | What are we going to do? |
02:31 - 02:34 | Do we need to buy WU from IBM... |
02:34 - 02:38 | ...and teach them how to program from scratch? |
02:41 - 02:45 | It used to be a great web site back in the day, |
02:47 - 02:50 | but it has been all down hill ever since... |
02:52 - 02:55 | The Weather Channel bought them up! |
02:56 - 02:59 | These days, they cannot even give out gold stars properly! |
03:00 - 03:04 | Why don't they just send Jim Cantore out to cover the WU disaster? |
03:05 - 03:09 | (He doesn't really mean that about Jim.) |
03:14 - 03:18 | I guess that we have no resort... |
03:19 - 03:22 | ...but to buy a Netatmo station and upload... |
03:23 - 03:27 | garbage like all of the other people. |
03:32 - 03:35 | It is the only way. |
03:40 - 03:43 | If only their algorithm considered data quality... |
03:44 - 03:46 | ...before giving out gold stars... |
03:47 - 03:50 | ...it would never have come to this. |
03:53 - 03:59 | Give me my credit card. |
