Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action

Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed

@RideACTAlerts Thank you! I love the 51B route, and thank you to all the bus drivers and all other folx at AC Transit for making it all possible! 🚌🚍

[salwa ismail🦩 @notvoluble]

Hey @RideACTAlerts ! Were both the 7:12am and 7:24am 51B route to Rockridge canceled this morning? We had to wait for a bus for a good 34 mins this morning from 7am until after 7:35am. There was no alert on cancelation but no bus showed up ☹️ Thanks for any info!

Data Science as a field seems to focus on prediction rather than inference in introductory materials.

But inference is often just as important (more in some cases, less in others).

I have to keep convincing people that inference isn’t less sexy than prediction.
