#r2u is breaking all the records today as two European data centers appear to do *a lot* of batch testing or building. It is midafternoon and we just broke *one million packages* for today which is orders of magnitude higher than usual. #r2u: Fast. Easy. Reliable.

During my sabbatical, I wrote a manuscript for the intro economic statistics course at UT-Austin. My main goal was to provide a free resource for our majors, but now that a draft is complete I'd like to also share it with other potential instructors. probstats4econ.com

The depressing reality is that inside China, this very basic detail - that Chinese nuclear plants have released far more radiation into the sea - is unknown. Instead, the propaganda machine has v successfully whipped up anti-Japan anger and panic

Evergreen tweet: when you use `r2u` together with a stateful `apt` client like `wajig`, then the `wajig new` command can tell you about new #rstats package on CRAN (when they are new in #r2u about a day later). #r2u: fast, easy, reliable.

Art Kane’s “Great Day in Harlem” photograph was taken on this day in 1958. “Jazz had been seen as a bunch of ghoulish characters that came up after it got dark, like Dracula… this picture showed jazz musicians to be people.” –S.R., to CBC Radio (2019) theguardian.com/music/galler…

A Great Day in Harlem: behind Art Kane's classic 1958 jazz photograph

The young Kane was working as an art director when he had the idea to photograph the luminaries of the New York jazz scene for Esquire’s 1959 Golden Age of Jazz edition
