Good morning.
If the only things you’ve ever done with R rely on the “tidyverse,” you don’t know R, and can’t claim to.
Be sure your students know this.

'One rule to follow when assessing a technology is that it is no longer “new” once IBM makes a television commercial about it.'
One of many gems in this year's database review by @andy_pavlo (NB: Also holds for other companies making TV commercials)

A year ago, I scraped the locations of 22k bitcoin ATMs in the US. I didn't have time to finish the project, but they definitely were not in the rich neighborhoods.
Crypto was never a rich gambler's game; it was always a predatory con to offload the bag.
We tend to think of crypto as a rich person's gambling game. But as this chart illustrates, people in developing nations like Nigeria & Turkey are flocking to gamble on crypto, too.

A friend stopped by the other day, and checked in to make certain I am sticking to my physical therapy.

Imagine reading about Ukraine, a country where people are living without heat and light, where incredibly brave men endure bombardment and artillery fire every day, where the whole nation has pulled together to stop barbarism of a kind we haven't seen in Europe since 1944...
