I kind of enjoy the Europe => US jet lag. I fall asleep at like 8pm, get up super early and have lots of time to cook a nice breakfast and enjoy some peaceful work hours. Not a bad way to spend a week.

tl;dl Privacy by design & customer first philosophy, if not two sides of the same coin, are consistent with each other. Collecting customer data is akin to asking for something. Customer first means asking from customers only when its a GOOD FAITH attempt to enrich THEIR lives.

"Collect everything" is easy to say. It can even be rationalized. Think a little deeper, though, and the dangers of this mindset are pretty easy to surface. That's the topic of our latest episode with @mgershoff! analyticshour.io/2024/09/03/253…

@mgershoff @MilamandGreene Online, they're gone in single-digit minutes! I'm officially putting a bug in the ear of an elder to see if he's up for a 30-minute drive to Blanco next week.

Great. As an extension to her note about effects heterogeneity. I think it is more that contextual bandits/Targeting is unlikely to be valuable unless there is a theory why there should be heterogeneity. If you don't then just run a simple RCT or Epsilon-First bandit.

These recent slides from Susan Athey and Guido Imbens at NBER are a great recent review of the most valuable data science methods I'm aware of. They cover tons of ground with lots of pointers. conference.nber.org/confer/2024/SI…

Oh! I have to read. I have been thinking informally about this for Tech/Data Science - that methodological preferences etc. are drawn from individuals who are clustered (in part by being socially connected in the valley via a small set of interconnected VCs)

1. osf.io/preprints/soca… Meta-analyses combine trials that are presumably *independent*. But social relatedness between researchers --> more similar effect estimates, suggesting dependency via same "school of thought"
