Hola econtwitter, 🧵 Acabo de publicar pulso-co: una librería Python para cargar microdatos armonizados de la GEIH del DANE con un solo comando.
Si trabajas con datos del mercado laboral colombiano, esto te ahorra horas de scraping, parseo y matching de variables.
This simple equation has exposed major financial fraud.
If you check the first digit of numbers in real-world data, like bank transactions, you’d expect digits 1 through 9 to appear equally.
But they don’t. By Benford's law, smaller digits appear more often, and 1 shows up about 30% of the time.
As numbers grow (1–9, 10–99, 100–999), leading digits don’t distribute evenly—they follow a logarithmic pattern.
Since fraudsters often invent numbers assuming equal distribution, their data can violate this law, making manipulation easier to detect.
Scientists used a powerful acoustic field to float a liquid droplet in the air, and by changing the frequency they were able to make it star-shaped. Frequencies create waves that surround us.
“Most of us live like monks…rooting ourselves to a home or a career and using the future as a kind of phony ritual that justifies the present. In this way, we end spending (as Thoreau put it) “the best part of one’s life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it.”
—Rolf Potts
Now @elonmusk - can we just get this policy extended to all universities, policy advocacy groups, "science" organizations, etc.? It would be very healthy to see how much tax money is used to sway people toward demanding more tax money. Propaganda is not just media orgs.
Clock mathematics and the 12 tone (chromatic scale): There is a beautiful synergy between the familiar mod 12 arithmetic of our clocks and the basic structure of western music built from the 12 tone chromatic scale
