@davepl1968 It's funny, I actually was independently thinking about asking this at interviews, but after all never asked, instead focused on more traditional questions.

@davepl1968 Because you imagine that if you were standing in mirrors place you would turn around the Y axis, not X axis or some other vector. And that's because people walk on land, maybe people born in zero gravity wouldn't think that it flips horizontally.

Suburbs are a relatively recent invention that pretend to be both rural without the farm land and a small town without the charm and walkability.

Got the correct answer initially, but didn't take much for it to flip back to the incorrect one, crazy

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

Been recently running a bunch of experiments in Amplitude, this article provides a great playground to build intuition

🚨 Stop chasing the p-value!

Increasing your sample size will always yield a significant result.
Even for trivial differences.

🎮 I created a little interactive playground to illustrate this issue:

Always pair p-values with effect sizes!

If you are Palestinian in today's world, no one will protect you, no country will say or do anything consequential at all, essentially you don't have human rights. Sad and scary, that it is still possible after all the declarations that all human beings are equal.

There is a ceasefire deal, so I want to share this story from my past year reporting inside the State Dept. trying to answer the central question of Biden’s foreign policy:

How did the U.S. let Israel get away with widespread horrors in Gaza? 1/

It's interesting that it is a milder version of how soviet elections worked. In soviet elections only one candidate could take part, that candidate was suggested by the party and the short of people from which the candidate was picked was called "nomenclature".

Former unelected EU bureaucrat says that EU can cancel election results in any EU member state if it doesn't like the outcome. Looks like EU elites completely lost the plot.

NEW - Former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton fantasizes about a possible annulment of the upcoming elections in Germany: "We did it in Romania, and we will obviously have to do it, if necessary, in Germany."

@3insy Если всё так уже расследовано, то каких полицейских или местных чиновников, покрывавших групповых насильников, посадили или хотя бы уволили? Ощущение, что, на самом деле, всё спустили на тормозах с минимальной публичностью, с приговорами отдельным насильникам для галочки.

[Dima Lashkov @dimalashkov]

Kind of agree!

Call me biased, but Vue has the cleanest templating syntax.
Easy to write & expressive enough.
What's your opinion?

[Shaun Maguire @shaunmmaguire]

You can control anybody's opinion on anything through sampling bias

If group X does thing A 1000 times

And group Y does thing A 10 times

If the media (as an example) reports on all 10 incidents from group Y and only 1 from group X, then most will believe group Y does A more

@AJamesMcCarthy Arrival, but the one made in 1996, not in 2016
