I like how typos in manuscripts are no longer considered evidence of sloppiness, and have turned instead into luxury signals of hand-crafted writing by a human master wordsmith who keeps to the traditional ways

The lower half of a manuscript page, featuring a marginal figure dragging a portion of text encircled with a rope into place.

Mirrored bar plot showing the distribution of estimated probabilities for different terms, for US and UK respondents. Will happen is ranked most likely, and almost no chance is least likely. Points highlight the median which are identical for both groups except for may/might happen and highly likely where US medians are higher.
A really fun dataset for this week's #TidyTuesday, looking at how people interpret different probabilistic statements 📊
There's so many aspects of this to visualise, but I decided make some barcode plots comparing how people from the UK and US responded!

The number of cancer deaths worldwide has more than doubled since the 1980s. Does that mean we're losing the fight against cancer? Not necessarily, because it depends on how you measure it. On this chart, you can see three ways to look at the same data. 🧵
Has anyone noticed that everyone who uses AI less than you is a an out-of-date luddite and everyone who uses it more than you has forgotten how to think for themselves and trusts it too much
Workers' outcomes are highly non-linear, even non-monotone in the pace of sectoral shifts. More and more workers gain as a transition accelerates, but the tail of losses thickens, from John R. Grigsby and Nathan Zorzi www.nber.org/papers/w34922
'A newly installed free payphone on Boston University’s campus is helping generations connect the old fashioned way; giving people the chance to 'call a boomer.'
The payphone directly connects to a similar phone installed in the game room of a senior housing complex in Reno, Nevada."

Figure shows the number of immigrants arriving in Israel from the former Soviet Union, by year. The integration of immigrants is the subject of contentious public debates. This column studies the labour market outcomes of nearly one million Jews who migrated from the former Soviet Union to Israel in the 1990s and were granted Israeli citizenship upon arrival. The immigrants initially worked in lower-paying firms than natives, but narrowed the wage gap with natives by switching jobs more often and making larger upward moves when they did. Policies that tie immigrants to a single employer or delay unrestricted work authorisation may slow access to better firms and delay convergence.
J Arellano-Bover & S San use evidence from Jews who immigrated to Israel from the former USSR in the 90s & were granted citizenship upon arrival to show policies that delay unrestricted work authorisation may slow access to better firms & delay convergence.

The reason most households are two income is that wages went *up*.
As wages increase, "working in a company" becomes a better option than "working in domestic production".
