We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions!
We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family:
- `filter()` to keep rows
- `filter_out()` to drop rows
- `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers

Wrote about the week. How the shooter's ID didn't appear to matter to ppl. How the discourse takes place in very same spaces that incubate/perpetuate hate & violence. How shooters now know that their acts will be flattened, analyzed, argued over & amplified. How all of this feels so dark & poisonous
Something Is Very Wrong Online
Our political conversations take place in very same spaces that incubate and perpetuate unthinkable violence.

Exactly, political violence isn't bad because the victims are good people, it's bad because it's bad!
If for no other reason than to counter the apparent argument that “bad people” deserve to be shot in cold blood. Why else misrepresent his life’s work?

Honoring democracy means eschewing terror as a political tool, but it also means taking people’s words and ideas seriously as a reflection of their goals and personal character.

i learned this trick from a neapolitan tailor about 15 years ago. if you put cuffs into your trousers, ask your alterations tailor to put buttonholes into the seams and attach buttons. this way, you can unbutton your cuffs and brush out debris.

I've often warned the real risk of AI images is giving people the ability to deny the real images more than making them believe things that aren't true.
Trump claims a video showing people throwing bags out a White House window is "probably AI generated." Doocy then plays the clip for him. Trump still insists it's AI.

"Do you want to be correct or do you want to be effective" is an actual choice some seem unawares they need to continually make
I've lost track of the number of times I've made a client choose between winning the case and being right. Often it's a zero sum game. Many times the price of winning a case is not having the person who wronged you feel bad about it.

Nate Silver thinks academic journals are a lost cause.
But they aren't. If anything, the real problem is that these journals are *too* profitable.
Which means no one bothers to dream up other ideas, only variations on the theme.

Relatedly, this is how I feel when people say "it's impossible for the null to be true". Not only is it possible, there are situations where I know for a fact it's true 👇
New rule: Not engaging with people who can not understand that when you randomize, the pre-experiment population means in each group are the same and that any differences are due to sampling variability.

This is good advice: "Whenever possible, avoid learning in isolation. And once you have given yourself permission to seek help, the next step is to choose carefully where that help will come from." It's also why I post and blog about statistics. Those are part of how I learn along with others.

this bothers me so much from a chauvinistic national pride perspective. US cities are *way* richer than all but a few foreign ones, but they don't look like the future because we prioritized boomer property values. the SF Bay Area should be a fucking marvel of the world, should eclipse Singapore.
when I first lived in New York in 1996, then again in 2000, I was like 'what a thrilling and overwhelming city.' when I went back in 2014 having lived in globalizing Asian metropolises in between I was like 'oh, what a beautiful peaceful old town.'
