@ZhiZhu@newsie.socialDOGE’s Dodgy Numbers Employ a Tesla Technique
#Safety researchers claim Elon Musk’s auto company has a long #history of potentially misleading #stats. Now it looks like his #government dept is following suit.

#DOGE “put out some numbers, they didn’t smell good, they switched things around,” alleges Noah Goodall, an independent transportation researcher. “That screamed #Tesla. You get the feeling they’re not really interested in the #truth.”

Last Summer, my student intern Scarlett Spackman put together a great document about accessible teaching for #maths, #stats and #physics.
Under two headers, "Why should I care?" and "Advice", Scarlett makes the case for improving accessibility and then offers practical ways of achieving that.
I've finally got the go-ahead to share it more widely:
#Friendica knows how to collect and present #fedi #stats! This is amazing....

"I had a hard time finding any posts discussing the Super Bowl" - I'm both an #NFL and #stats fan, and might've posted had something caught my attention in the #SuperBowl - this year nothing did (didn't help that my team wasn't in it ;-) ). Last year in the #playoffs I wrote about going for it on 4th down, as that was topical with the #DetroitLions at the time (who were going for it on 4th a lot!). Co-incidentally, I had seen a thread about this from someone I follow on #ThreadsApp!

Despite 9 months renovating my home last year in the evening, I still succeed to work almost 640 hours on my projects in 2024 during my free time!
