Good Local Posts
- The NY Times polled their readers on which of the big 5 tech companies they could live without.
- Andrew Gelman on a journal study that reported p=.06 and the ensuing discussion.
- I missed this last month: a clustering of NYC neighborhoods identifies Williamsburg as more like Manhattan than most of Brooklyn, and Trump Place as an outlier.
Miscellany
- Citymapper (based in the UK but active in NYC) is testing some of their theories on unmet transit demand by running a short bus loop in London.
