    <title>[1812.05163] Declination as a Metric to Detect Partisan Gerrymandering</title>
    <dc:date>2020-01-27T23:32:12+00:00</dc:date>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[We explore the Declination, a new metric intended to detect partisan gerrymandering. We consider instances in which each district has equal turnout, the maximum turnout to minimum turnout is bounded, and turnout is unrestricted. For each of these cases, we show exactly which vote-share, seat-share pairs (V,S) have an election outcome with Declination equal to 0. We also show how our analyses can be applied to finding vote-share, seat-share pairs that are possible for nonzero Declination. 
Within our analyses, we show that Declination cannot detect all forms of packing and cracking, and we compare the Declination to the Efficiency Gap. We show that these two metrics can behave quite differently, and give explicit examples of that occurring.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[This is a book about working in groups, based on 7 years experience in community projects and startups.

I’m not so interested in what you’re working on together, I’m just going to focus on how you do it. To my way of thinking, it doesn’t matter if you’re trying to build a better electric vehicle, or develop government policy, or blockade a pipeline; whenever you work with a group of people on a shared objective, there’s some stuff you’re going to deal with, some challenges. How do we decide what we’re working on? who does what? who can join our team? what are our expectations for each other? what happens when someone doesn’t fulfil those expectations? what do we do with disagreement? how do decisions get made?

I’m convinced there is not a “one size fits all” recipe, a management structure that you can take off the shelf and install in your collective or your company. But my hypothesis is that there are patterns: common design elements you can draw on as you construct a recipe that’s right for you. Each pattern in this book names a challenge that you are likely to face, and offers tools and techniques you can try in response to that challenge.

This is a book for community organisers, leaders, managers, consultants, coaches, facilitators, founders... if you work with groups of humans, these patterns apply to you.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In this article, I describe how it came to be that people like Mike explain the purpose of their work as “hooking” users. Between 2011 and 2016, I conducted fieldwork with the developers of algorithmic music recommender systems across the US. What were these systems for, and how did their makers decide whether they worked? In settings ranging from university labs to corporate offices, one paradigmatic answer emerged above the others: recommender systems retained users on platforms, caught their attention, and helped companies capture market share.

Metaphors like these, which figured users as prey and recommender systems as devices for catching them, were surprisingly common. Algorithmic recommendation, it seemed, was a trap. Following the anthropologist’s prerogative to take our interlocutors more literally and more figuratively than they take themselves, I pursue here the consequences of this comparison. Drawing on the anthropology of animal trapping, I place recommender systems in unusual company—not among artificial intelligences and machine learners, but hidden spears and thorn-ribbed baskets. This is, assuredly, not what people meant when they said they wanted to capture users. However, traps offer a powerful vocabulary for articulating sociotechnical concerns, and thinking with traps gives purchase on vexing questions about the relationships among culture, technology, and ethics.]]></description>

During engagement MEXICA generates material guided by content and rhetorical constraints, avoiding the use of explicit goals or story- structure information. During reflection the system breaks impasses, evaluates the novelty and interestingness of the story in progress and verifies that coherence requirements are satisfied. In this way, MEXICA complements and extends those models of computerised story-telling based on traditional problem-solving techniques where explicit goals drive the generation of stories. This paper describes the engagement-reflection account of writing, the general characteristics of MEXICA and reports an evaluation of the program]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Bots have been playing a crucial role in online platform ecosystems, as efficient and automatic tools to generate content and diffuse information to the social media human population. In this chapter, we will discuss the role of social bots in content spreading dynamics in social media. In particular, we will first investigate some differences between diffusion dynamics of content generated by bots, as opposed to humans, in the context of political communication, then study the characteristics of bots behind the diffusion dynamics of social media spam campaigns.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Many vestiges of the past — including a long history of upper-class whites using racism to their advantage — have re-emerged in Trump’s America. As our nation impetuously tumbles toward a very uncertain future, we must take heed that the racist rhetoric and divisive political issues have only just begun. The millionaires and billionaires of this country literally have a fortune to protect, and white supremacy has always helped assure their place at the apex of society. As Watson rightfully crowed to his interracial crowd, “You are deceived and blinded that you may not see how this race antagonism perpetuates a monetary system which beggars both.”[2]

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The “myth” Kohl-Arenas identifies is the belief that individuals and communities can change their material circumstances in the absence of any change to the systems and policies that govern those circumstances. In the US, our national narrative places the lion’s share of responsibility on individuals: responsibility for poverty on the poor, for mental illness on the mentally ill and their families, for incarceration on the incarcerated. As a wealthy, developed nation, we are a bewildering outlier in our refusal to take more communal responsibility for our brethren. When people do organize to care for one another, and in doing so discover that life struggles are linked to structural problems in need of policy solutions, they are often demoralized to find that funders shy away from any work that would promote policy change.

    <link>http://chronicle.com/article/The-Professor-Is-a-Drag-Queen/234357/</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[There may be students who do not want to be taught by a gay professor or drag professor (or female, or Asian, or Muslim, or whatever), but I cannot control that. By denying parts of myself to fit into more common perceptions of what a professor should be, I am denying most of my students a fuller, more present teacher. A few students might slam me in their evaluations because of their own prejudices, but I should not be forced to compartmentalize myself for those few. I am learning, after years of working in education, that being my authentic self is much more valuable in reaching more students more thoroughly. Students should appreciate the diversity of their faculty. Faculty should not conform to conventional interpretations of professorship.

I am not suggesting that I will show up in all my classes dressed in drag. Drag, in its sneaky, subversive way, has opened my eyes to the other personae I had assumed in order to conform or to be accepted. From now on, I will strive to share parts of my experience that may be germane to my course topics. I do not need to play down or suppress parts of who I am in order to appear smarter, or more academic, or more appropriately professorial. There is no mold to match to be a true professor. I am not John Houseman in The Paper Chase, and I never will be. To provide a richer education to my students, I must share the best of myself — whoever that is — along with the content of my subject matter.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The transmission of news stories in global culture has changed fundamentally in the last three decades. The general public are alerted to breaking stories on increasingly rapid timescales, and the discussion/distortion of facts by writers, bloggers, commenters and Internet users can also be extremely fast. The narrative of a news item no longer belongs to a small cadre of conventional media outlets, but is instead synthesised to some level by the public as they select where and how they consume news. 
The IAA Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) post-detection protocols, initially drafted in 1989 and updated in 2010, were written to guide SETI scientists in the event of detecting evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, but do not give guidance as to how scientists should prepare to navigate this media maelstrom. The protocols assume communications channels between scientists and the public still resemble those of 1989, which were specifically one-way with a narrative controlled by a select few media outlets. 
Modern SETI researchers must consider this modern paradigm for consumption of news by the public, using social media and other non-traditional outlets, when planning and executing searches for extraterrestrial intelligence. We propose additions to the post-detection protocols as they pertain to the use of internet and social media, as well as pre-search protocols. It is our belief that such protocols are necessary if there is to be a well-informed, sane global conversation amongst the world's citizens following the discovery of intelligent life beyond the Earth.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[This commentary is not a plea for the wider teaching of existential and/or phenomenological texts (although of course that can’t hurt), nor am I privileging the so-called ‘Continental’ texts and methods over those used by my sister (and brother) philosophers. The Kierkegaardian question of subjectivity should lie at the heart of —dare I say it?—every philosophical project. From social justice to Bayesian epistemology, it does matter how the student (and the instructor) relate to, and inhabit, the arguments and explanations that they explore: not simply a matter of ‘what does it mean? But ‘what does it mean for me?’—And, in case this sounds hopelessly ‘subjective,’ please note that the point of locating oneself in a project, and in a view of the world, is to go forth and do something with it, and about it—to write essays, organize protests, demand economic reforms, to join a struggle (intellectual or physical), to be present in one’s own life: in fact, to own up to, and to own, that existence.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Free-floating anxiety is characteristic of dementia, and honoring the personhood of residents, as Thomas Kitwood recommended, also means acknowledging their distress. Gillian Hamilton, the medical director of Beatitudes, told me that Beck, who is physically sturdier than most of the residents, is her biggest challenge. “She just wants to go home,” Hamilton said. “I’ve tried many different medications. I’ve tried sedating her. And I just can’t get anywhere. I would love a solution for her, but it’s not a medical solution. And we haven’t come up with something.” Often, Hamilton told me, a resident’s distress abates as the disease progresses; the most difficult time is the period during which a person with dementia recognizes that something very unwelcome is happening, but is unable to understand it. Hamilton told me that, with Beck, they would just have to wait out this period. “She’ll be better when she’s worse,” Hamilton said.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Writing as a Calling: Take Two

I now understand the difference between writing as a calling and writing as a hobby. Most educated and reasonably smart people can pull off an occasional piece of good writing, just as every home cook can pull off a great meal once in a while. The challenge for someone making a living off writing is to do so consistently, week after week, through good moods and bad, through inspiration peaks and troughs. It is exactly the challenge faced by an executive chef.

Last year, in The Calculus of Grit, I noted that while number of words written is the key metric for all writers, the difference between experienced and inexperienced writers is not the number of words written, but rewriting capacity. 

Beginners generally find it hard to even see where improvements can be made in a chunk of text, let alone deploy an arsenal of techniques to actually make those improvements.  As you write more and more, somewhere around the 500,000 word mark, you find that both your “first dump” quality and time spent rewriting are steadily going up. Within a few years of consistently sitting down week after week to write for public consumption (though these days I often use a standing desk), you find that your first draft quality usually beats the final draft quality of many beginning writers, and that you are also then able to spend 4x more time improving it, without running out of ideas. As you progress, you find that your quality even under extreme stress, and while drunk, starts to beat many beginner efforts.

All that still holds true, but this year, I think I figured out how to thoughtfully connect inner growth as a writer to external validation. It is not enough for your internal compass to tell you that you are improving. You need to be able to hit the external target you want consistently as well. The inner compass remains primary, but the external hit rate helps you keep it calibrated. What you measure varies depending on your intentions, but you do need to assess whether a piece worked the way you intended it to.

The big danger is being tempted into seeking a 100% hit rate of external success in terms of traffic and reader appreciation. This means you focus on repeating the formulas that you already know how to work well, and give up on all the experimentation. Which is where both the personal growth and surprise hits come from."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["In fact, one approach is to intentionally over optimize a local optimization. This will often make apparent to management (or even to you) where the true bottle neck in the system is. We shouldn't worry so much about doing the wrong things righter, but we should be aware that that may be the case and always work to be doing the right things.

In the end, showing improvement and building momentum can lead to exciting changes. In fairness, it can also come crashing to the ground if the right kinds of changes aren't made at some point, but this should not deter anyone who thinks something can be made better from trying to do so and it certainly should not be a reason to do nothing!"]]></description>

A broadcast is by definition the transmission of information from transmitter to receiver in a one-way, linear fashion. The teacher is the transmitter and student is a receptor in the learning process. The formula goes like this: "I'm a professor and I have knowledge. You're a student, you're an empty vessel and you don't. Get ready, here it comes. Your goal is to take this data into your short-term memory and through practice and repetition build deeper cognitive structures so you can recall it to me when I test you."... The definition of a lecture has become the process in which the notes of the teacher go to the notes of the student without going through the brains of either."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The Mechanics’ Institute sprang up in 19th century England for the ostensible purpose of imparting upon the working class mechanic knowledge of the sciences, literature, and arts. In actuality, a myriad of purposes shrouded the creation of these institutes, which were ultimately appropriated by the middle class when it became apparent that the working class was not as receptive as had been anticipated. ... As the middle class began to move in, the working class retreated to the Institute’s libraries and reading rooms, where they were free to discuss topics that interested them. One of the unintended consequences of the failed Mechanics’ Institutes was the aiding in the creation of a democratic infrastructure for working class access to printed materials.... In short, despite being borne from a desire to regulate, they were an important precursor to the establishment of public libraries and a liberated mass reading public."
