@Supergeoff22 @SKTheKingYT @grok what game is this?

[Elliot Meador @Elliot_Meador]

@yohaniddawela @ScientificData @Globaldatalab @nberpubs @planet Super cool. Thanks for sharing.

@leonardojo You can just save them as .svg and open in Inkscape/Illustrator. No need to recreate. PowerPoint has a tendency to resize an .svg’s groupings.

#rstats users and #demographers, I'm looking for online resources (blogs, etc.) for a good introduction to using open source data to do demography work (population projections) in the U.S. Can anyone recommend any? Thanks!

[Elliot Meador @Elliot_Meador]

@steltenpower @rstats4ds In my mind it should be a relatively easy business venture to print an .html, bind and ship it. Then split the proceeds between author and print service . Like unsigned garage bands who print their own cds - not top quality but it works well enough.

[Elliot Meador @Elliot_Meador]

I really appreciate all the new open-source #datascience books being self-published with {bookdown} and other tools. I do wish there was a magic button I could click that would allow me to buy a hard copy directly from the author - no publishers involved. #Rstats

[Elliot Meador @Elliot_Meador]

@schochastics Thanks for writing this!

[Elliot Meador @Elliot_Meador]

Well #Rstats, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention!

[Elliot Meador @Elliot_Meador]

@TurquoiseHC @paulg @MaxCRoser Very cool. Does your site have an API?

[Elliot Meador @Elliot_Meador]

@hrbrmstr One thing that pie/donut charts have over other types is that they’re round and can sometimes fit better on a page than rectangular figures. imo

@ashley_gibby Thanks for sharing your insight! I wonder if you know of any resources/books that provide more details on using the ACS?, especially around workflows.

[Elliot Meador @Elliot_Meador]

I just typed "can Outlook read my long emails to me?" into Google, so it's about time for to quit for the day.

[Elliot Meador @Elliot_Meador]

@geokaramanis Amazing, and I’ve learned that you can add + ggsave() directly to ggplot code.

@skyetetra But why not convert it back to Excel before sending it on?

[Elliot Meador @Elliot_Meador]

@skyetetra R/Python can handle file conversions. R packages like {openxlsx} and Rmarkdown (and Python equivalents) make this relatively easy with Microsoft workflows - this applies to STATA, SAS or SPSS too. I think this needs to be a core part of DS training.

@nunyabusinss @Multitudes1 @resarfekim @BernieSanders The point is that @BernieSanders can be successful in capitalism and STILL PAY HIS TAXES. Why can’t @Nike or @amazon do the same?

Just got my first dose of the #Covid19 vaccine in #Edinburgh. #NHSScotland are doing a great job, very organised! Hopefully this thing is will be over soon, but important to remain vigilant.
