Better world maps for mobile! Despite years of mobile-first design, there’s been little experimentation in this area. So we designed our own at NZZ – and validated it in a large user study. Summary of the paper: jonasoesch.ch/articles/the... 1/3

This is fantastic! This website allows you to watch TV stations from around the world. I just watched 2 minutes of Afghan volleyball. All the small regional TV stations from Germany are here too. Spread the word! Source: tv.garden

JD Vance talking about housing as a supply issue while part of the Tariffs and Construction Worker Deportations admin is basically the whole NatCon shtick writ large: you accurately diagnose the problem, talk eloquently about it’s impacts, then enthusiastically commit yourself to being part of it.

🚨 New paper (with Kasey Rhee & Nico Studen). We use a new within-precinct design to isolate how ideology affects vote choice holding turnout fixed, analyzing 3.4M precinct observations across state & fed elections (2016-2022). tldr: Ideological moderation affects vote shares, but not by much. 🧵⬇️

After the Camp Fire, we had mountains and mountains of used clothing donated. They piled it into the wal-mart parking lot until it started raining, when it became more waste to throw away. Your old clothing isn’t necessarily helpful.

1/2 Every #rstats user, interested in #reproducible analysis should try the new version of #rix. It's much more robust than just using renv. With this update rix allows to use date specific versions and improves using github packages. bsky.app/profile/brod...

For years, I've wanted to create an #rstats package bringing the power of Mapbox to R users. After a few failed attempts, I finally got {mapgl} over the finish line in 2024 (with some help from #GenAI). Get started with an interactive globe in one line of R code, and build from there!

Love this essay! Spiegelhalter puts in words exactly how I approach probability: it doesn't exist as an objective measure, but it's still useful to pretend it does. In a way, it feels like Calibrated Bayes, my favorite kind of Bayesian! www.nature.com/articles/d41...
