This super @PopovichN chart is imo the single most important message to give people about diet and climate change. You can cut your dietary carbon footprint almost as much by replacing beef & lamb with other meat, as by going totally veggie. Eating green needn’t mean no meat.

Faster growth gives negative bias to naive estimate of omicron severity. Using recent rates of growth from @trvrb and @twenseleers, the bias is by an order of magnitude. This graph gives a qualitative explanation. Blog post calculates the numbers. paulromer.net/grow-severity-…

Next weekend I’ll be at #OTTHAC21 talking on @apple_hockey. It’ll be an overview of the model building process of APPLE, draft value, and releasing some preliminary 2021 NHL draft rankings. Also want to congratulate to all the #bigdatacup finalist and HMs. Best of luck!

Ahead of the Son/Kane show..Heung-Min Son is probably the most two-footed forward in the EPL. There's a clear pattern to his foot usage: on the right side of the pitch he shoots with his right foot in the area and his left foot out of it; on the left side it's the other way round

This will go down in history as one of science and medical research's greatest achievements. Perhaps the most impressive. I put together a preliminary timeline of some key milestones to show how several years of work were compressed into months.

If you live in Pennsylvania and you voted by mail, please visit pavoterservices.pa.gov/Pages… and confirm your ballot status is listed as "Vote Recorded." I have found one friend whose ballot was never received and another whose ballot was "canceled" by the county. 1/8

TIL that nearly 60% of tech employees suffer from imposter syndrome. Suspect this is caused by throwing smart, self-aware people at hard, ever-changing problems. Seems like most people land squarely in the trough of the Dunning-Kruger curve

As a self-taught data scientist, I've definitely felt imposter syndrome throughout my career. It's somewhat reassuring to know that so many of my peers experience it as well

Our SoccerMap paper is now available in ArXiv. It will soon be released in Springer's LNAI as well. Here's the link for everyone who asked for the full PDF file: arxiv.org/abs/2010.10202. Looking forward to the comments and suggestions for improvement.
