Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago.
Where have most of the gains gone? To the top.
Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity.
This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

Once you start working with probabilistic models the desire to convert all your favorite deterministic ones is an obsession. Xgboost gets a prior, MLP gets priors, you ALL GET PRIORS.

Ever feel like attractive people are jerks? It’s a causal illusion—you rarely date someone who’s both unattractive and awful. When an attractive person sucks, you still date them, skewing perception. In reality, everyone just sucks to a random degree. This is called Berkson’s Paradox #Bayesian

There’s been a lot of great research in Ranked Choice Voting. Portland just enacted the proportional version for their city council, and the consensus is that it gives voter more power.

One thing I’ve realized is that you can have the most perfect dataset, that is sufficiently large with normally distributed variables, but if you don’t know how the data was generated you’re in for a struggle. Knowledge about how the data was obtained is equally important as the data itself.

Thank you data science !
Weather forecasts have become much more accurate. A four-day forecast today is as accurate as a one-day forecast 30 years ago.
