A few months ago I wrote a follow up about the bots in the fediverse. The data doesn't update, but it's still an interesting snapshot in time.
And I got to speak with creators of the two most followed bots!

Excited to share the first results of the Transparency of Research on Philanthropy project! https://osf.io/9ybha
11% of empirical publications in the most recent issues of five journals publishing research on philanthropy link to the source data. That's more than previously published estimates for the social sciences as a whole.
BTW, this project is an open collaboration - you're welcome to join.

Have been playing around with SwiftUI Charts today. Hooked a Chart View up to some data being pulled out of CoreData and ran through it using ForEach and hey presto, a graph! So easy to switch between Marks (graph types) to see which type of graph best suits your needs, and adding styling is a breeze.
Seeing the chart updating in real time as I manipulated the data set was also very cool.

A Basic Introduction to the Quartile
We deal with vast amounts of data on a daily basis. Analysing and understanding data distributions is a fundamental part of our work. One essential statistical measure that helps us gain valuable insights into data spread is quartiles. The quartiles are part of the five number summary

"On a flight about a year ago, I found myself in a predicament: I could not pay for my customary glass of plane wine to help calm the nerves. The problem wasn’t that I didn’t have cash or a credit card on me but instead that I didn’t have the airline’s app, which was necessary to complete the transaction."

Any GDPR/DPA experts out there for a view, please?
If an authority should have deleted personal data where they accept there is no exemption to keep processing, but do not know whether or not they have deleted it (or even know where it went), what legal position does that put the authority in and what sanction would ultimately apply?
I've asked the ICO to investigate, but they can often fail to comprehend situations fully. I'm not happy to just let the council shrug shoulders.

Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mcVN23wL3I (2/8) #AIEthics
How we collect information matters as does how we analyze, share, and build upon it.
When people voluntarily give us data, they are giving us their trust.

Use the new CBC Climate Dashboard to find out.
You can search for your city and add it as a favourite. Come back whenever to see how current conditions compare to the past.
Updated constantly with the latest weather data.
(This is the first version of the dashboard. Later in the year it will be expanded to include precipitation, air quality and CO2 emissions.)

Amazing new weather/climate tool from the CBC! Put in your Canadian location (even somewhere small like #PortAlberni and it will tell you if your forecast for the day might be a record, it shows you the same across Canada and it tells you about your recent historic compared to the climate. For example, Port Alberni has had an “extremely hot” past 30 days!

First was a great talk by Susan Murphy on inference for longitudinal #data after adaptive sampling. Using tooth brushing as the study setting, Murphy builds up a robust method for an important intervention that takes into account the many statistical complexities of the setting. This is an example of how, rather than ignoring that some algorithm's assumptions are violated, one can take that into account to make something that is much more likely to work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpzVMgdYfxk (2/7) #statistics

Hacker News front-page analytics
A question about what states were most-frequently represented on the HN homepage had me do some quick querying via Hacker News's Algolia search ... which is NOT limited to the front page. Those results were ... surprising (Maine and Iowa outstrip the more probable results of California and, say, New York). Results are further confounded by other factors.
Thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36076870
HN provides an interface to historical front-page stories (https://news.ycombinator.com/front), and that can be crawled by providing a list of corresponding date specifications, e.g.:
https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2023-05-25
Easy enough.
So I'm crawling that and compiling a local archive. Rate-limiting and other factors mean that's only about halfway complete, and a full pull will take another day or so.
But I'll be able to look at story titles, sites, submitters, time-based patterns (day of week, day of month, month of year, yearly variations), and other patterns. There's also looking at mean points and comments by various dimensions.
Among surprises are that as of January 2015, among the highest consistently-voted sites is The Guardian. I'd thought HN leaned consistently less liberal.
The full archive will probably be < 1 GB (raw HTML), currently 123 MB on disk.
Contents are the 30 top-voted stories for each day since 20 February 2007.
If anyone has suggestions for other questions to ask of this, fire away.
And, as of early 2015, top state mentions are:
1. new york: 150
2. california: 101
3. texas: 39
4. washington: 38
5. colorado: 15
6. florida: 10
7. georgia: 10
8. kansas: 10
9. north carolina: 9
10. oregon: 9
NY is highly overrepresented (NY Times, NY Post, NY City), likewise Washington (Post, Times, DC). Adding in "Silicon Valley" and a few other toponyms boosts California's score markedly. I've also got some city-based analytics.

One researcher called this "the big data equivalent of book burning.”
"A potential solution is the development of data repositories, universal guidelines for data collection, analysis and sharing, interoperable data standards and protocols among agencies."
This was a fascinating, illuminating, and enraging conversation with Dr Richard Denniss, Executive Director of The Australia Institute, and Professor Margaret Hellard, Deputy Director of the Burnet Institute, about why we're not collecting covid data, and why it matters. This one is really important, so please listen, and share.
RD:"Why aren't we collecting the data? Because they don't want to admit failure. They don't want to make it easy for me to tell you what the cost to GDP of this heroic approach to covid has been."

OK my new podcast is called #DataRevolution, first episode is live https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2192536.rss
So today I almost joined Storygraph for the second time.
I was tempted because I was thinking about all the different fun ways Storygraph tracks your reading. But then I thought of the fact that my data would then probably be sold off to who knows where and for who knows what purpose.
So I'm going to stick to tracking my reading in my notebook which is what I was already doing. 😅📚📓
Catherine D'Ignazio:
"critical thinking about #data and #AI needs to move beyond the notion of bias and into a deeper engagement with power. Here, power means the structural organization of privilege and oppression in a given society, in which some groups experience unearned advantages and other groups experience systematic and violent disadvantages."

Next was a packed panel on global #data flows at @CPDPconferences with Caitlin Fennessy, Hiroshi Miyashita, Ralf Sauer, Joe Jones, and Kathy Harman-Stokes. These laws are essential for companies to operate internationally, and this conversation greatly helps lay down the current state of the field https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXSF69PYEr8 (7/9)
Next was an incredible panel on synthetic #data and #privacy at the @CPDPconferences with @theresaStadler, Massimo Attoresi, Pompeu Casanovas, and Jerome Bellegarda. This discussion really gets at the core questions when it comes to synthetic data - does it protect privacy more than other methods? Does it disproportionately affect traditionally marginalized groups? Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coj0RHN8CwU (5/9)
