Why, why, why, that’s enough water to fill up my swimming pool almost TWO times. Every year. PANIC! CRISIS! RUN AWAY! Tip from Sarah Hoyt at the Instapundit, who does make even the most boring stuff sound interesting. Continue reading Oh Noes! Seawater to Volcanoes! and…

The ability of statistics to accurately represent the world is declining. In its wake, a new age of big data controlled by private companies is taking over – and putting democracy in peril. begins William Davies tale of woe in the Guardian. Unfortunately, he confuses credible statistics with modern state-istics*; and seems impervious to the idea that Joe Sixpack has wised up to the fact that there are “lies, damned lies, and statistics,” and that most of these are peddled by the Leviathan State and its corporate cronies. Usually to Joe’s detriment. Statistics in industry and scientific research is doing … Continue reading Reports of its death are greatly exaggerated
