Hey nerds! Any recommendations on a good Markov chain primer at maybe a technical undergrad accessible level? Bonus points if you have one in the context of dynamic programming.

Great time to highlight that Arab Barometer data is collected in the respondent’s place of residence. I can personally vouch for its authenticity. Their strong personal and professional relationships with local partners makes this possible.
new paper by Sean Westwood:
With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

Open Infrastructure is Not Free: PyPI, the Python Software Foundation, and Sustainability

Egregiously bad take by Klein. He’s assuming (advocating) inherent good in in-person arguments.
Kirk built a brand on being loud and “right,” which resulted in bombastic, bad faith arguments devoid of intellectual curiosity.
