Fun project I've been working on for @GoogleCloud-@MLB partnership: automating "game notes" (statistical insights used by broadcasters & in other content). Read about how raw Statcast data --> baseball notes (h/t @rsbensaid @AndrewSimonMLB, many others)!

So I promised more behind-the-scenes of the @FiveThirtyEight 2020 forecast. Today I'll walk you through the development of our topline chart! 👯

That is specifically: the chart that shows the chances of a candidate winning the election in November.

E-commerce penetration is US: 10 years vs. 10 weeks.

Expect similar changes in online education, food delivery, digital payments, entertainment and sports.

In our conversation, Gates draws an analogy to World War II that actually does give me some hope.

When he said he believed coronavirus might lead us to a deeper form of global cooperation, I pushed him on rising xenophobia and international tensions. His reply:
