I have something to say about this... namely, it's about the data.
100 hard drives?

If you estimate a median disk size of 4TB, that puts you at ~400TB, almost half a petabyte.

Even assuming use of RAID, what was reportedly taken from the DNC was <1 TB.

WUT?
on the other hand, a set of working copies of 20 years worth of data from a data hosting company/web services/VOIP provider could fill out half a petabyte, maybe...

A question for everyone focused on the narrative that the Trump administration is enabling and implementing systemic racism:

Which of the following forms of racism deserves the most attention?
To clarify, the last option should read

"weaponizing white nationalism, systemic and institutional racism to distract from and cover for pedophiles in positions of power"

but that doesn't fit in 25 characters
and note: the last carries all of the negative consequences for citizens, particularly POC, of the first two combined, as well as helping to distract from the links of people in positions of power to Jeffrey Epstein.

Ohai, It's Larry Visoski, Jeffrey Epstein's chief pilot, hanging out with @KellyannePolls just before NYE 2016.

Weird, huh?

Oh, Donnie is talking about Al Qaeda and the WTC towers now, because he's worried.

Worried about Epstein.

It's projection.
Always.

And distraction... Unless you know what you're looking for.
Find someone who started talking about this before today's hearing to follow.
And don't forget who is playing along with this game.
OH. So he just threatened to crash the stock market if he doesn't get his way?

Again, let's look at the role his foreign friends play in the stock market: in 2016, 35% of the market was controlled by foreign investors.

@pbump needs to drop an update.

Something I've learned over the past few years creating data viz and I've certainly been guilty of: just because you can doesn't mean that you should. And just because you ~can definitely doesn't mean that you should. Two things need to be communicated: The story & so what?
For me, creating viz is all about layers. Not metaphoric layers, literally just shapes and shades on top of one another to make something coherent and to show what I want to show. Think about every element you want to include and why.
You want to make something that looks professional, tells a story, and is aesthetically pleasing? Look at viz that is professional, tells a story, and is aesthetically pleasing. And I mean really look at it.

A month after holes in a key database used in GDP estimation were first exposed, the controversy around #India's GDP #data and statistical system has only grown. This #thread is a summary of some answers and many questions on this issue #stats #institutions #economy (1/n)
The latest to question the new GDP series is the former CEA @arvindsubraman who was also among the first to question the new series numbers when they first came out in 2015 (2/n)
His main contention, then and now, is that the new series fails to tally with other economic indicators. Others also have made this point but his recent paper (hks.harvard.edu/centers/cid/pu…) is the most systematic demonstration of that issue (3/n)

Last month a friend asked me "what's the best resource you've read thus far on human decision-making?" 1/
After thinking about it, I decided to recommend her one of the first such resources I ever encountered, seven years ago: Doug Hubbard (@hubbardaie)'s How to Measure Anything. 2/ amazon.com/How-Measure-An…
While I don't agree with every word of it, How to Measure Anything is quite possibly the most important and useful book I've ever read on any topic. Here's why. 3/

Wide debate on #eprivacy right now. I see a lot of misunderstandings, let me clarify a few things (& further info: bit.ly/2i99Kd5)
Should I not be asked before my emails are accessed and used? Don't you think the same? Is this asking too much? #eprivacy
New #eprivacy rules = more flexibility for all businesses to process communication data w/ user consent. Under current rules #telecoms can't
