Experiment without the wait: Speeding up the iteration cycle with Offline Replay Experimentation. Awesome work by my colleague Maxine @PinterestEng link.medium.com/NoktNr7cXmb
Despite being on Twitter right now, I think social media is wrecking our brains. Especially bad during COVID, with fewer options to go out and do things. Sharing my thoughts on how I'm trying to better utilize my free time. kellieotto.github.io/posts/2…
I've been using this internal tool at Pinterest for years and it's indispensable to my work. Congrats to the team launching this! Open sourcing Querybook, Pinterest’s collaborative big data hub by @PinterestEng link.medium.com/1MbAGjuu3eb

Wow. Two Rep. members of Board of Canvassers refused to certify election in Wayne County, MI if votes from Detroit were included. Trump tweeted his support of this. Board has since voted to certify, but fellow board member @NedStaebler has some strong words for his colleagues
Watch @NedStaebler completely destroy Monica Palmer and William Hartmann — the two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers — over their racist and partisan refusal to certify the election.
Election commission orders top voting machine vendor to correct misleading claims. "DS200 optical scan machines *with modems* are in use in 11 states and the District of Columbia" -- scary. politi.co/323C5Gb.
It's time for statistics departments to start supporting their applied students. @rlbarter shares what I've been thinking for years. It's BEEN time for the field to change, or lose a lot of great people. rebeccabarter.com/blog/2020-…

Time to abandon #studentevaluations Misleading; biased against women, URM & other groups; influenced by factors not in instructors’ control; & not useful for improving teaching. physicstoday.scitation.org/d… @kellieotto @anne_boring @rfreisht
Question for #DataScience friends, if you have a query/script to run that takes an awkward 5-10 minutes, what do you do with that time?

Student evaluations of teaching are not only unreliable, they are significantly biased against female instructors.
