  1. "Det er efter direkte politisk medvirken og indgriben fra to ministre, at en 28-årig fynsk kvinde nu står til at miste det #statsborgerskab, hun fik som 9-årig i 2006.

    Fratagelsen af statsborgerskabet begrundes med en fejl, som blev begået af Statsamtet Fyn, men ifølge sagens akter, som Politiken har fået aktindsigt i, skete det efter rådgivning fra Indfødsretskontoret, der hører under udlændinge- og integrationsminister Kaare Dybvad Bek (S)"

  6. P-value: Probability of observing data as extreme as yours, *if* the null hypothesis were true. Ex: p=0.01 means a 1% chance. Pro-Tip: A small p-value (<0.05) often means you can reject the null hypothesis & your finding is significant!

  10. 🧵I didn’t like the care survey I got from Stats Can.
    I think it asked a lot of suggestive questions about what they were measuring, but nowhere did it ask about affordability, or what prevents participation, etc.

    Like questions about my work/self employment as an artist…how many hours? it’s my life, the rest & the work, the thinking, research, drawing, painting, social media sharing, marketing, all of it…

  11. Imagine if the news media (dreaming in technicolor now) did a yearly report on the Quality of Life Hub reporting. Government policy makers might suddenly care about the #StatsCan web site and begin calculating how an individual policy might positively impact our quality of life.

  12. CW: stats critique, CN allusions to coercion

    I just read the paper, and I'm not entirely satisfied with either mini-précis in the 2 toots above, or indeed the researchers' own framing.

    "A sample of 3,011 self-identified men ages 18 to 34 (Mage = 27.31) was recruited in the Spring of 2023 using an online panel (Qualtrics Research Suite) that invited all men who met criteria into the study. The study was described as exploring positive and negative interactions between men and women in sexual situations. The consent form indicated that the survey was men’s opportunity “to provide their side of the story given that we have heard so much from women” about male–female sexual interactions, repeatedly assuring them of their guaranteed anonymity. ...

    "Men were eligible if they self-identified as men, were in the age range 18 to 34 years, and reported having had a sexual encounter with a woman in the past 2 years. ...

    "Participants were asked “In the past four years, how many times have you used any of the following strategies to get (or try to get) a woman to have some type of sex when she did not want to have sex or acted like she did not want to have sex? (Only women you have recently met—no sex or dating history with them beforehand).”"

    So, @gabriel - yes the researchers were focusing on pressure tactics, but this cohort wasn't recruited _from_ people who _already_ said they had pressured women into sex.

    On the other hand, @amydiehl, I think the "sexual encounter with a woman in the past 2 years" criterion is a significant distinction from men-of-that-age in general, because there will be men who aren't using the pressure tactics and _haven't_ had sex with a woman in the last 2 years - and those seem to me quite obviously _not_ independent variables. Young men who are just chilling with their friends, or who are "waiting for the right person", or indeed who are isolated and unhappy and never leave their house, simply aren't part of this cohort.

    For this reason, even though the paper says
    "RQ1: What proportion of men report a history of using strategies to force a woman to have sex?" ... I don't see how they think they're measuring that.

    It's still valuable for the list of tactics and the relative prevalence of the tactics in relation to each other. And it does of course show that there are thousands of blokes who think it's okay to push reluctant women into sex, which is yikesy enough.

    Open to contradiction if I've read it wrong!

  14. I forget on my main PC I have been tracking my stats on what buttons and mouse actions are being done on my PC to get STATS on what I seem to do on my PC.

    I should probably use it on my laptop as well to get a proper total on timings and stuff I use my PC.

  16. Alright, future engineers!
    **Combinations** count ways to choose items where order *doesn't* matter.
    Ex: Choosing 3 committee members from 10: C(10,3) = 10! / (3! * 7!).
    Pro-Tip: If rearranging selected items gives the *same* outcome, it's a combination!

  17. It all started with a dream.
    One night Tansley had an unsettling nightmare that involved him shooting his wife.

    So he did the natural thing and started reading the works of Sigmund #Freud, and even went to be analysed by Freud himself.

    Then Tansley came up with an extraordinary theory.
    He took Freud's idea that the human brain is like an electrical machine – a network around which energy flowed – and argued that the same thing was true in nature.

    That underneath the bewildering complexity of the natural world were interconnected systems around which energy also flowed.

    He coined a name for them. He called them #ecosystems.

    But Tansley went further. He said that the world was composed at every level of systems, and what's more, all these systems had a natural desire to stabilise themselves.

    He grandly called it "the great universal law of equilibrium".

    Everything, he wrote, from the human mind to nature to even human societies – all are tending towards a natural state of equilibrium.

    Tansley admitted he had no real evidence for this.

    And what he was really doing was taking an engineering concept of systems and networks and projecting it on to the natural world, turning nature into a machine.

    But the idea, and the term "ecosystem", stuck.

    But then Field Marshal Smuts came up with an even grander idea of nature. And Tansley hated it.

    Field Marshal Smuts was one of the most powerful men in the British empire.

    He ruled South Africa for the British empire and he exercised power ruthlessly.

    When the Hottentots refused to pay their dog licences Smuts sent in planes to bomb them.
    As a result the black people hated him.

    But Smuts also saw himself as a philosopher – and he had a habit of walking up to the tops of mountains, taking off all his clothes, and dreaming up new theories about how nature and the world worked.

    This culminated in 1926 when Smuts created his own philosophy.
    He called it #Holism.

    It said that the world was composed of lots of "wholes"
    – the small wholes all evolving and fitting together into larger wholes until they all came together into one big whole
    – a giant natural system that would find its own stability if all the wholes were in the right places.

    #Einstein liked the theory, and it became one of the big ideas that lots of right-thinking intellectuals wrote about in the 1930s.
    Even the #King became fascinated by it.

    But Tansley attacked.

    He publicly accused Smuts of what he called "the abuse of vegetational concepts"
    – which at the time was considered very rude.

    He said that Smuts had created a mystical philosophy of nature and its self-organisation in order to oppress black people.

    Or what Tansley maliciously called the "less exalted wholes".

    And Tansley wasn't alone.
    Others, including HG #Wells, pointed out that really what Smuts was doing was using a scientific theory about order in nature to justify a particular order in society
    – in this case the British empire.

    Because it was clear that the global self-regulating system that Smuts described looked exactly like the empire.

    And at the same time Smuts made a notorious speech saying that blacks should be segregated from whites in South Africa.

    The implication was clear:
    that blacks should stay in their natural "whole" and not disturb the system.

    It clearly prefigured the arguments for apartheid.

  18. The brief and rather peculiar history of the rise of the idea of the "self-organising network".

    A very powerful ideology of our time is the idea of the "self-organising network".

    It says that human beings can organise themselves into systems where they are linked, but where there is no #hierarchy, no #leaders and no #control.
    It is not the old form of collective action that the left once believed in, where people subsumed themselves into the greater force of the movement.
    Instead all the individuals in the self-organising network can do whatever they want as creative, autonomous, self-expressive entities, yet somehow, through #feedback between all the individuals in the system, a kind of order emerges.

    At its heart it says that you can organise human beings without the exercise of power by leaders.
    As a political position it is obviously very irritating for TV interviewers, which may or may not be a good thing. And it doesn't necessarily mean it isn't a valid way for organising protests – and possibly even human society.

    Of course some of the ideas come out of anarchist thought.
    But the idea is also deeply rooted in a strange fantasy vision of nature that emerged in the 1920s and 30s as the British Empire began to decline.
    It was a vision of nature and – ultimately – the whole world as a giant system that could #stabilise itself.
    And it rose up to grip the imagination of those in power – and is still central in our culture.
    But we have long forgotten where it came from.

    To discover this you have to go back to a ferocious battle between two driven men in the 1920s.
    One was a botanist and Fabian socialist called #Arthur #Tansley.
    The other was one of the most powerful and ruthless rulers of the British Empire, Field Marshal #Jan #Smuts...

  20. Stats / demography question: Say you have two populations with different standard deviations. Let's say you wanted to determine how much compositional differences affect the standard deviation, in contrast to the average differences of each group. The key is that it's *not* about the mean, but the dispersion, so a Kitagawa decomposition doesn't really make sense. What would I use?
