  1. Scam artist Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is now lending his tech skills to a scammer Nick Shirley’s viral “fraud” videos —videos that are shaping immigration crackdowns and political narratives, despite being widely unproven⚠️💻 #ViralFraud #TrumpAdmin #DataManipulation www.wired.com/story/edward...

  2. Eleven studies by Spanish scientist Rafael Luque are retracted due to fraudulent practices.

    A new tool reveals the alleged cheating committed for years by the chemist, who was suspiciously prolific.

    With his 11 studies eliminated by publishers, he is already “in the top 0.1% of the most retracted authors of all time”.

  3. Krugman:
    This is, by the way, [what] standard autocratic regimes are known for.

    ⭐️In some ways, among their first targets are #statistical #agencies because ➡️ they want the numbers to say what they want the numbers to say.

    I’ve been at conferences in Asia where the Chinese government announces that the economy grew 5.3 percent.

    And everyone at the conference asks not “why did the Chinese economy grow by 5.3 percent?” but “why did the Chinese government decide to say that it grew by 5.3 percent?”

    ⭐️The numbers are our political statements, not reality.

    🆘And if I were a federal employee at the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
    I would be extremely frightened;
    quite quickly they’re going to be in the line of fire.

    The last time around, back during the Obama years, when there was a lot of "inflation truthers" claiming that the inflation numbers were being manipulated to make it look like there was less inflation than there was.

    ❌Such accusations are always projections
    —it’s what they would do, not what was actually happening.

    We turned to various kinds of private sector independent measures of inflation, many of which were originally developed by economists in places like Argentina,
    where manipulation of the data was standard so they developed their own ways to measure.

    We’re going to be having to do that.

    ⚠️ My guess is by sometime next year, we’re going to be having to look at proxies for what’s actually happening to the economy,
    possibly for what’s actually happening to crime,
    because the official numbers are going to be corrupted.

  4. Data Manipulation Initial Planning Is A Crucial Aspect Of Any Project, & It's One Of My Favourite Parts!

    I still prefer to do this phase 'old school', with a large piece of (portable) paper, pencil, and eraser, revisiting and adjusting as needed, often the next day as it has percolated overnight...
    During this phase, I list constraints, data validation needs, design a broad framework, and determine interactions while trying to future-proof as much as possible. I bring in my requirements and questions from my initial JIRA ticket(s) - and then use these to develop and evolve business rules, along with a process diagram construction.
    From there, it's all on to SQL and manual testing in PostgreSQL + PostGIS and finally prototype app construction - for the devs to then take and make it work fast and well!
