Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively (xkcd).

@PhDemetri Noone else upset about the claim that the expected value has a distribution?

@LevyAntoine Knowing the British diet, it's also unclear what meal this is supposed to be. Lunch? Breakfast? Tea time? Yeah, could be any...

@jtrebach Amazing how she brought all this in that little backpack.

@Nelsonzegt You just solved my sequence problem.

[Frederik Bennhoff @FredBe11]

@O_Goss_ @LevyAntoine Why not just
x1 : time to cross intersection x if you cross it first
x2: time to cross x after you just crossed the other direction
Ditto for y1, y2.

Curiously, in my life it's mostly been that Ex1 + Ey2 < Ex1 + Ey1

@Sanjay_Kamat @JEBavido @_BRCooper @PHuenermund Actually, in the Vickrey auction, the (winner with the) highest bid wins but pays the second highest bid.

@CaltechEconThry Depends? If the detective starts at n=1 and knows the location of the prison (z₀) then she will catch the prisoner by setting w₁ = z₀ + (0,1) and wₙ=wₙ₋₁+(1,0) for n=2...6, and w7=w6 + (1,-1) in at most 7 steps. If she does not know where to start, problem is ill-defined.

@ErikwimDuring @MSchularick Judging from half a page of appendix, that's just done for the reader to see that outliers don't have a strong effect on estimated elasticities. Numbers without outl. are presented in the sentence before.

The clever people at @NASA have created this deceptively simple yet highly effective data visualisation showing monthly global temperatures between 1880-2021. Watch until the end...

@YannayASpitzer @kamilkazani Could it be a typo? Source you are citing says 68% died in that cohort by the end of WWII, so about 32% survived.

Let's discuss what's happening in Russia. To put it simply, it's going full fascist. Authorities launched a propaganda campaign to gain popular support for their invasion of Ukraine and they're getting lots of it. You can see "Z" on these guys' clothes. What does it mean? 🧵
