My family doesn’t ask me when I’ll get in a relationship, when I’ll get married, or when I’ll have kids.
Instead they ask me how I am, how is the new job, how is the new city, and when can they come visit. Thankful for their questions.

"...our findings have implications for the design of online platforms, understanding the social contexts of online behaviour, and quantifying the dynamics and mechanisms of online polarization."
Thrilled to share our paper, out today in @nature, which proposes a new paradigm for the analysis of online platforms and applies it to study political polarization over the complete history of Reddit

“If “AI” is more than marketing, then it might be best understood as one of a number of competing philosophies that can direct our thinking about the nature and use of computation.” #AI

Perhaps it’s the CEO of Wells Fargo who lacks the talent to recruit Black workers.

This new study by @KA_Hamilton2 et al in New Media & Society (journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…) is a great conceptual replication and an extension of my original studies on self-endorsing (tiny.cc/zl7msz). Always nice to see your work being successfully replicated.

Take a look at the future (in in some journals already reality) of scientific publishing. You go to the article. There is a tab 'Code and Datasets'. A @CodeOceanHQ computing module opens right in the browser. Let's you access all code and reproduce all analyses. Game changer! teapawt.org/SimonAdar/status/98346…
Starting today all @CodeOceanHQ compute capsules links are replaced by code interactive widgets embedded in the @IEEEXplore article pages. Here is one example with a @jupyter notebook and the @ThePSF language. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document…
