According to Wasserman’s estimates, 42 percent of voters are whites without college degrees. By comparison, 27 percent of voters are nonwhite.

This is a good reminder that people I work with and see around me are not a good representation of the general population. I guess most of us have very little understanding of what normal is.

I wonder how such tools would look like. It's definitely possible to identify dominant narratives and figure out how certain factors affect their relative strengths. Maybe it should be along the lines proposed by R. Shiller.

В 2017 году стало известно об indictments китайских хакеров.
В 2018 году стало известно об indictments русских хакеров.

Разница в реакции в обществе на эти два похожие события несколько поражает воображение, особенно "внезапные" вопросы типа: "А зачем это все сейчас нужно? Все равно не выдадут."

I am afraid our eyes are bigger than our bellies, and that we have more curiosity than capacity; for we grasp at all, but catch nothing but wind.
