@jonlovett Here's how sunrise and sunset shift over the course of the year across the lower 48. Northern cities face a dramatic shift in daylight hours. DST keeps their sunrises <9am, but at the cost of early sunsets. Meanwhile, Phoenix DGAF.

Implicit in this thinking, and explicit in Governor Jerry Brown’s original reasoning for the HSR, is the idea that it is simply impossible to force LA and SF to build more housing, so the only way the people of the Valley could have opportunity is if we brought it there directly – at San Francisco, CA

#Tidytuesday first look at permit locations in SF, by proposed building type. Neat data set, lots to look at. gist.github.com/jonspring/49…

Nice use of transitions to keep us grounded between the charts and an underlying sense of how many one million is. Can't wait to read a behind-the-scenes on how it was made. Do I need to learn WebGL now? nytimes.com/interactive/2022…
People who understand forex, why do we see this daily pattern? Ruble stronger (~115/USD) during UTC workday, weaker (~130/USD) otherwise? Related to recent easing of yuan controls? Or is this an artifact of data collection, e.g. based on unrestricted vs restricted forex markets?
So far, Omicron has sent has sent some San Franciscans to acute care, but little/no ICU impact. Different than prior waves. Crossing my fingers this dynamic holds.

Looks like hospitalization from Omicron continues to recede. Looks like only about 15% of COVID hospitalizations warranted the ICU, down from prior waves when more like 30-40% did.

Omicron has now sent more people to SF ICU's than Delta, and is catching up with last winter's wave.
Another COVID spiral riff, now with more even more objectionable chartjunk! #rstats #gganimate #seismogram

igraph FTW! I'm framing this one. Well done @grayheel! @AdventOfCode
#AdventOfCode Just finished day 8, holy enigma that was much harder for me - 2 hours of going back to the drawing board. Ended up brute forcing with a series of join-filter steps in R.

@Bob_Wachter, seems the next few days are critical for understanding the immediate mortality impact of the recent delta spike in the bay area. Is there reason to expect the linkage has improved recently?

Love to look at this figure: first wave: not many cases (but likely under diagnosing) but many deaths; second wave: many cases & deaths; third wave: many cases and very few deaths. That is the power of vaccines!
