"Data Brokers" (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver)
I heavily suggest giving this a read, and I'd love to hear anyone's take on it. I think this article is pretty much on point, and that worries me greatly.

I am just so busy this week. I might pass the thousand page mark for math literature read this month. ![]()
The best strategy seen above was:
1) Flip a coin until \(max(P(\text{Cheater}|Heads=h),P(\text{Fair}|Heads=h)) \geq \max(\text{Threshold},\text{Random})\) and \( \text{number of flips} \geq n\)
2) If \(P(\text{Cheater} > P(\text{Fair}|Heads=h)\), choose "Cheater". If \(P(\text{Cheater} \leq P(\text{Fair}|Heads=h)\), choose "Fair"
where \(h\) is the number of times the coin flips heads, Threshold is set by the user (i.e., \(0.5 \leq \text{Threshold} < 1\), in my case \(\text{Threshold}=0.8\)), Random is a randomly generated number (\(0 \leq \text{Random} < 1\)), and \(n\) is a user set number of flips (in my case, \(n=12\))

This new #CHI2022 paper explains why one Wikipedia language edition engaged contributors more effectively than two others from neighboring states in India. The answer: Broader social and cultural context matters for online communities! https://blog.communitydata.science/how-social-context-explains-why-some-online-communities-engage-contributors-better-than-others/

*depression message warning*
I know nobody who dies on flight MU5735. I know nobody who is currently suffering in Ukraine and Shanghai. But seeing those videos, photos, and reports, I feel dispirited. That's not the world I imagined when I was young. I want to go out and help people, but I don't have the power, and also don't have the money.
Also, you may know the "The Great Translation Movement". Although I'm Chinese, living in mainland China, it's unexpected for me to see those speeches. My weibo account has been banned in 2014, and I rarely view Chinese public social media. I used to have trust issues with my government, now the trust issues extend to the whole society, to all Chinese I don't know. I don't know who will report my speech and try to screw my life up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I guess we need to take care of ourselves before we can take care of others. May conscience and braveness lead me.
