“To put it plainly, R won’t change. If something about R frustrates you today, it always wilL.” LMFAO. I only read the above line and the bit about how tidyverse nearly fixes all the badness that is r. Max lol.

People really do hate the profession with an intensity that seems at times, as you said, idiotic. I read these pieces about political disruptions to our system of laws with some concern that those deep in the thing might not understand the

“people keep repeating this line despite it flying in the face of the obvious counterevidence, because they want it to be true” Yes. Been there t-shirt. Remember MOOCs?

Professors teach our elite how to think. Some former students escape their cognitive strictures, so perhaps sama is not too heavily influenced by his schooling. But most elites are, obviously the product of their educational experiences. An

Abolition? Christians in politics have done more good than bad, unless you hate America, which it honestly sounds like you do. Hating America is very hip in certain cliques but it’s pretty cringe to listen to from an educated adult who bene

“A lot of signalling has to happen to a lot of people.” More signaling makes all signals weaker until everything is noise. Probably not the desired outcome.

“the US was hobbled by 50 response plans” Pure nonsense. How are such small minds able to make it so far?

Simpler than that, fiscal responsibility should not be a partisan issue. A 100 billion dollar train from nowhere to nowhere means 100 billion taken away from efforts to address homelessness, fight childhood poverty, safeguard community heal

Maybe I’m just being too cynical about Merced as a future growth center, but to me the California high speed rail project is the textbook example of sunk cost fallacy. At present, it mostly serves to signal the level of corruption (or inept

They should use an app that respects free speech like parlor or gab or whatever the freedom respecting Twitter alternative of the moment happens to be. Twitter is far from “open” and so blocking it is sort of redundant; it’s already tightly

Too pessimistic is a great, generous way, to summarize your biases which are those shared by most laypeople and even some self professed experts. Don’t try to turn wild fire into some stupid binary like everything else on tv, where you choo

Craigslist has non-spyware TV sets for free. With a 20 dollar antenna you can get real old fashioned tv. Or if you can accept that you are just going to be spied on anyway, maybe that’s a more sustainable position than trying to fight the c

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Why is being proud of anything now acceptable in our society? That’s the better question. Pride will find reasons to justify itself, if you allow it. People are proud of

“Whether any of these offenses—simple shoplifting, organized theft, or violent smash-and-grabs—are actually happening more frequently overall is, at best, ambiguous.” If you don’t prosecute or charge people for their crimes then guess what,
