The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow. snyder.substack.com/p/the-war-tr...

I just got the kids down for naptime so I wanted to take a second to point out two key problems (and a few areas of agreement) I see with this morning’s @emmagoldberg.bsky.social @nytimes.com article about effective altruism: 🧵 bsky.app/profile/nyt...

🧵 [1/8] Our latest research (with Olof Östergren, Evelina Björkegren, and Torsten Persson) published in PNAS sheds light on the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on already disadvantaged groups. Here's a thread summarizing our findings. 📉📈 #COVID19

Trying to answer an ethics review about why my data collection does not process personal data, but unsure. GDPR says IPs are PII. But web sites (servers) use IPs for content delivery. This means all sites, routers, etc process PII? Can this really be true? Is there a #gdpr-sky community yet :)?

I was looking for a good example of Simpson's paradox for teaching and stumbled across this excellent one. Colored lines scientifically hand-drawn by me. Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...
