I’ve been curious about nowcasting for years but have limited hands-on experience. I’d be interested to learn more on the practical side if that’s what you have in mind

This might be my favourite response yet!
Hmm, yes, 🥪. I do concur 🧐!!
Short and witty. Love it!
Not enough tariff memes IMO 🤣
Why are #tariffs are so often “slapped” on goods and rarely “placed”?
Looking for wrong answers only 😁 #econsky #economics #canada #usa #trade
Without knowing your data, my thoughts are if you have too many bins and then the colours aren’t far enough apart to visually be able to find the patterns?
I personally like a single colour scale like you have because it can be printed in b/w and still makes as much sense as viewed on colour.
Very cool visual! What is the data source?
Haha that last comment got a legit chuckle from me. Point well taken though.
As a Canadian, tough to imagine the short run is going to be pleasant, but I, too, am hopeful that the global economy can adjust in the long-run.
Good morning #econsky! Who is worried about the global effect of U.S. tariffs? Getting your crystal ball out, are we thinking regime shift in global economics or just another change the economy will absorb with ease? #tariff #economics #canada #usa
Breaking: Trump imposes a 25% tariff on Columbia House Record Club.
BREAKING: MicroSoft, $MSFT, is in talks to acquire TikTok, Trump has said per Reuters.
Any thoughts on the why underlying this divergence?
Is the RBC Curse real? Some believe that Canadian companies that surpass RBC's market valuation are doomed to fail. I wrote an article diving into some of the history.

@natalie.sh I’ve been watching your Bluesky counter page periodically over the last week or two. Very nice work! Where does the 30 million milestone come from?
Ah, fair points. There can be valuable information in the non-missing elements of a row on a datasets, even when some elements are missing.
What is your experience with or opinion of using interpolated values? I’m not sure I’m come across good use cases where it benefited the analysis but curious to learn more.
I love this map! I really like what you’ve done here with the points making the outline of the landmass and the colour palette is very nice too.
I must admit, I only skimmed through the article but I didn’t see a clear reason on the “why” that the authors propose is behind the somewhat surprising findings. Was is that family objections are the barrier, not opt-in/out?

Hmm, I’ll need to think about this one. I think I’ve seen some examples of what you’re thinking. I’ll experiment and see how it goes.
