@jongeeting The 1 year estimates have high margins of error, especially at small geographies (e.g. townships). It would be good to include those margins in the reporting.

@yohaniddawela The level of bias in the detail and quantity of OSM data is a major concern. I have used these data in many modeling projects and often have had to question the usefulness results or reject the OSM approach because of the data quality issues.

Users of the tigris / tidycensus #rstats packages:

The Census website has been blocking requests from tigris (and curl) since yesterday.

(Don’t worry, the datasets are still there!)

I’ve patched tigris, install with `pak::pak("walkerke/tigris@ftp-patch")` and it should work.

@kyle_e_walker Oh man. Picked today to sit down and make the final knit on a huge module for my class and the API goes boom.

Die USA waren für viele Generationen Sehnsuchtsort, der coole große Bruder. Doch wir waren blind. Zeit, sich von der Amerika-Liebe zu verabschieden. Tut es weh? Muss es. https://t.co/NeQSmluBFe

As I've written before: "Once a society starts accepting attacks on entire swaths of Jews—for being too liberal, too religious, too secular, too pro-Israel, too anti-Israel, too whatever—that acceptance will grow." https://t.co/aXGliIOkgi

Trump cuts a Tesla ad at the White House, and Elon thanks him with a $100 million donation.

Outright corruption.

One of the key tenets of American society is tolerance. Other people have a right to express views you find abhorrent. Support that right - especially when you disagree! If and when there comes a day when you're the one in the jackpot - you'll want your rights supported.
