A quotation from Gibbon

The laws of probability, so true in general, so fallacious in particular.

I’ve compiled a list of eight books — ranging from #novellas to #collections to #novels — that hone in on “what if” and tell a #story in a way that #hovers closely to this #particular #thoughtexperiment.

#Bulgaria #court #rules in favour of #woman who called all #gay #people ‘perverts’.

They ruled that she didn’t intend to #cause #harm to the #dignity of a #particular #person due to their #sexualorientation, #Euractiv reported.

— No she intended to cause harm to the dignity of all #LGBTQ people due to their #sexualorientation.

@advicepig he’s #particular about it, and does a “swirl”. Someday when I have a LOT of time (and want to be very wired), I might actually try brewing a few different ways and do a cupping tasting.

I have a metal filter for my chemex, but I’ve never been able to dial in my grind for that where it tastes/drains like the paper filters do. Do you find you need to grind differently for the metal filter for the aero?

9) As AE Berthoff says, "form finds form":

DEFINITION = GENUS + DIFFERENCE (Aristotle)
DEFINITION = BODY + SOUL (Andrew Marvell)
SENSE = GENERAL + PARTICULAR (Ivor A. Richards)
DATA = FIT + RESIDUAL (John Tukey)
DATA = SMOOTH + ROUGH (John Tukey)
DATA = BASELINE + CORRECTED (Baseline correction methods)
VARIATION = COMMON CAUSE + SPECIAL CAUSE (Walter A. Shewhart)

6) According to Andrew Marvell (Late Disingenuous Discourse, 1678)

DEFINITION = BODY + SOUL, or
DEFINITION = GENUS + DIFFERENCE

“Definition always consists, as being a dialectical animal, of a body which is the genus, and a difference, which is the soul of the thing defined.”

5) "Residuals are our main tool in going further. They are to the data analyst what powerful magnifying glasses, sensitive chemical tests for bloodstains, and delicate listening devices are to a story-book detective. They permeate all sorts of data analysis and appear in many guises. (...)"

What can #Rhetoric teach us about #DataAnalysis?

4) According to John Tukey (Exploratory Data Analysis):

DATA = FIT + RESIDUAL
DATA = SMOOTH + ROUGH

"Here the fit is our current description --always incomplete, always approximate–of the overall behavior of the data. Each individual observation is split up into a sum of this fit and what is left over, called a residual. (...)"

3) "But on the way to this we must take all the care we can to consider separately what each of these senses is, which together form the word’s range. This master rule applies to all words whatever.”

2) "Later, after studying the various senses, we may go on to plot the word’s range and ask if anything is common to its senses, and if so what. A knowledge of the patterns of these rangings is—I have insisted—the most valuable thing we can learn from the inquiry, for it is knowledge of the make-up of the universe including our own."

I've heard the suggestion that Facebook is great if you're interested in people, and Twitter is great if you're interested in ideas. That was certainly the reason that I favoured Twitter!

#My #worry #about #Mastodon #is #quite #foundational#its #apparent #inability #to #search #for #terms #that #aren't #hashtagged. #This #makes #it #much #less #effective #as #a #way #to #see #who's #talking #about #a #particular #aspect #of #a #topic.

Unless you write like that, of course!
