The revenge of the Marshmallow Experiment
This seems like it might be a clean confirmation of the theory that 'irrational' preference reversals in temporal choice problems are due to marginalising over socially-calibrated uncertainty about whether the later event will actually occur.

Waitlisting people can lead to inequality.
A study of 274,316 students finds that low-SES students are much less likely to wait for offers to preferred schools. This led low-SES students to ultimately enroll in programs they liked less and that were less prestigious.

New paper out today in Ecology Letters! In this synthesis we dive into the equilibrium assumption in ecology - why it's everywhere in ecological theory, the evidence for it in nature, when meeting the assumption is important, how to achieve it in empirical research, and more! tinyurl.com/yh6kyysm

I'm assuming whoever was about the be the next high level political promotion in the Coast Guard has a swastika tattoo.
Cheers to the person who leaked the initial changes www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

What are the most exciting trends you’re seeing in spatial data science lately?
Some of mine:

- Geospatial DBs (e.g. #DuckDB + spatial)
- Global discrete grids
