“Torture the data and it will confess to anything.” Ronald Coase (Economics, Nobel Prize Laureate)
Community Suggestions:
- (CS1) Try to use “feeling” language. Ex. ‘I feel that this proposal will have issues with …’, ‘My understanding of the situation is …’. I find it cuts out a lot of drama and misunderstandings.
- (CS2) Avoid AI. If you feel strongly enough about something, you should be willing to spend the time on it.
- (CS3) Provide credit / sources to others whenever possible.
Community Rules:
- (C1) Be helpful. Collaboration and Constructive Criticism are welcome. Being an asshole is not.
- (C2) Bias: don’t provided biased analysis (reporting/omission, selection, sampling, etc.).
- (C3) Avoid discussing any software personnel issues/conflicts. There are other communities for that.
- (C4) Repeatability: if you post analytics try and provide a methodology / sources that others could replicate, if they desired.
- (C5) If the post is a link, please provide some context / summary / your thoughts about it.
- (C6) Links to articles should contain the original article title. Minor edits in [square brackets] for clarity/to reduce clickbait are likely fine.
