UK looking to implement VKT charge for EVs. Road pricing one EV at a time is coming, as long foretold.

I don’t think think “estimated road use” is right approach - at the least drivers should have the *option* of getting a black box fitted that just tracks their EVs usage, but come on, Mel, impersonate a serious politician!

Now this is how you detect whether an election was stolen. Humans choose rounder numbers.

by @TheEconomist
A scatter plot titled "Fair and square? Russian federal elections, 2000-21" which visualizes the results of Russian federal elections. The x-axis represents voter turnout in percentage, ranging from 0 to 100%. The y-axis represents the percentage of votes for Putin, Medvedev, or the United Russia party, also ranging from 0 to 100%. Each dot on the plot represents a polling station. A cluster of dots appears in the upper right corner, indicating high voter turnout and a high percentage of votes for the specified candidates. A dashed rectangle highlights a grid-like pattern of dots at numbers ending in zero and five, with an annotation suggesting this pattern indicates potential foul play. The source is cited as Kobak and Shpilkin (2021).

Esse tipo de convite tem sido cada vez mais comum. Se tivesse tempo até faria, não é por má vontade. Eu aceitei esse tipo de convite uma única vez, mas era uma semana q estava mais tranq e uma revista/artigo tipo cometa Halley na nossa área

I believe the 2 most important city mayoral elections in the world will be tomorrow’s New York City Election (the most important turning point #VOTE in New York history? #VOTEMamdani) & next year’s Paris Election for the successor of this generation’s most important/influential mayor, Anne Hidalgo.

Creating large and complex projects in #Rstats can get messy really quick. Once I've learned the advantages of using the {targets} package to orchastrate my code I never looked back. #tipoftheday Use targets! books.ropensci.org/targets/ Kudos to @ropensci.org team behind this !

Fun fact. Trump destruction of soybean exports (rightfully) gets lots of attention. But you know what we sell even more of to China? Education.
2024 soybean exports to China: $13B.
Higher Ed: $14B.
Yes, all those internat’l students count as *exports.* Trump is STILL actively destroying that market.
