1/5 THE LONG WAIT IS OVER! I'm happy to announce the release of rayshader with 3D ggplots. Pull up your favorite ggplot viz and throw it into the new plot_gg() function, and watch rayshader transform it into 3D. #rstats #rayshader #dataviz

Blog post:
tylermw.com/3d-ggplots-wit…
2/5 You can install the package from the Github page:

remotes::install_github("tylermorganwall/rayshader")
github.com/tylermorganwal…

Since ggplot2 is an incredibly complex package, there will certainly be bugs--if something renders oddly, leave an issue on the Github page.
3/5 Part of the reason it took so long was I wanted to a dead simple interface for 3D plots. No complex interfaces or APIs to learn-it's one line of code to transform your plot into 3D.

Check out the documentation and examples at the pkgdown website:

rayshader.com
4/5 And finally, I'd love to see what you come up with! Try out the new render_movie() feature to generate beautifully smooth mp4 files to share. Bad viz, good viz-doesn't matter, just play and make something fun!

(And be sure to include both the #rstats and #rayshader hashtags)

6/5 Website is down for now (don't know why yet), but go to rayshader.com and follow along with the README or check out the documentation for plot_gg() under the functions link to get started!
AND IT'S BACK UP!

I am very happy to announce the release of a paper co-written with @donaldcclarke who deserves the lion share of credit for producing such a sharp well written paper answering a major question: who owns Huawei. Short thread 1/n papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
Despite regular insistence by Huawei internationally it is employee owned, employees clearly do not own Huawei and Huawei in fact within China is on legal record as arguing that employees do not own Huawei. 2/n
Arguably just as importantly, based upon the ownership documentation of shell companies, the owner of Huawei is effectively state owned under what is called a mass organization similar in legal status to something like the Communist Youth League. 3/n

THREAD: The Mueller report coming out Thursday.... the long wait is over.... here are 9 unanswered questions that the report might finally answer. cnn.com/2019/04/14/pol…
1) Will we learn anything new on collusion? We already know Mueller's bottom-line: the investigation "did not establish" a criminal conspiracy of collusion. But the report could have new details on Trump-Russia contacts, who knew about them, and more. cnn.com/2019/04/14/pol…
2) Did Mueller see "collusion" as a crime? There is no specific US law that says "collusion" is a crime. So which potential criminal violations was Mueller looking at when he investigated Trump associates for collusion? The legal theory will be intriguing. cnn.com/2019/04/14/pol…

UPDATE: @CBP’s actions at the border today were alarming. The agency is going against everything that this country stands for, including not allowing refugees to present for asylum. #RefugeesWelcome
We went to Tijuana with @RepJimmyGomez, @RepBarragan, @AlOtroLado_org and @IMUMIDF to personally escort a handful of the most vulnerable refugees to a port of entry, including the mother and children pictured in the iconic tear gassing photo. #RefugeesWelcome
Among the group were unaccompanied children, Maria and her 5 children from the iconic photo, and 7 children who are at risk of aging out of protections because the Trump administration is forcing them to stay in Tijuana past their 18th birthdays. #RefugeesWelcome

Remarks by President Trump Before Marine One Departure

THE PRESIDENT: So I’m going to one of my favorite places in the world — Florida — to speak on behalf of, hopefully, Governor DeSantis who’s running a very good campaign.
They’ve got it going now. And also, as you know, Rick Scott, who’s been a great governor and hopefully he’ll be your new senator.

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?
