@Uber_Comms @JonahDispatch @Uber @BretBaier Are promotions personalized?

Everyone: That dumb penguin is going to his death.

Americans: That penguin would be the first of his kind in a new Eden, bastion of his people just like every spore in the wind – and in that pursuit is honor.

@hlntnr Is it fully unintended? Spreading the message could be a primary goal.

@AndrewArruda Tiger! Tiger!

@simonbchen “Can” feels important here. Is there room for any dissent without the perception of disloyalty?

@antlionai @cremieuxrecueil Everyone picking red and all permutations where >50% pick blue are Nash equilibria.

@cremieuxrecueil The p-hacking generally happens during the reporting phase, not on the A/B platform itself.

@johnjhorton @metasdl Reading the abstract, they appear to be looking at the XP results on the XP platform. I'd guess most meaningful distortion happens downstream, e.g., "let's ignore this month because it's weird."

@tszzl A story as old as stories. Gilgamesh attacks Humbaba, because he wants to secure an immortal legacy.

@AndrewArruda In the future, the only acting job left will be playing a movie star in public.

[Adam Ozimek @ModeledBehavior]

Wow they made a movie about Josh Angrist?

[Jason Dowlatabadi @JasonFKD]

@dbishopii I'm guessing it's related to employees collecting loyalty points from customer purchases.

@jaredrdavis @zoink @SoftwareAppsInc Needs some extension errors on boot

@SwiftOnSecurity I think it's worth drawing a distinction between things that are new and things that have been there a long time. We know the latter category is compatible with human existence. Less can be said of the former.

@JimParsonsVera @jenniferdoleac @verainstitute I think all of those CI leaders would say that you need to assume assignment to treatment is unconfounded.

After controlling for observables, what results in different choices? Are they partially due to some unmeasured factors that also affect outcomes?

Yes, they matched on information available in the data, including eligibility requirements. But the key question is, if two people look identical on paper and are both eligible for the program, why does one participate but the other doesn't? And could that difference affect the outcome?

@jrysana Representative democracy is useful. Can’t show every voter classified intelligence. Can’t show every shareholder sensitive internal data.

What’s a militia-esque balancing mechanism?

[Jason Dowlatabadi @JasonFKD]

@0xAlaric Different optimizations. The super serious ultralighters are trying to do stuff like hike the AT (2,285 miles with 98 miles of elevation gain) in 60 days or less.

The weekend warriors are aping the pros (like any hobby) and trying to minimize injury.
