This is the day!
On May 5, 1976, fifty years ago, John Chambers sketched a simple idea on paper, a new paradigm for designing computer languages. That idea became the S language, which transformed statistical computing forever. S later evolved into its open-source successor, R.

I had the privilege of meeting John, and being part of this trajectory for a while.
Happy anniversary, S! Happy anniversary, R!
And thank you, John, for starting all of this.

Europe’s digital rules put power where it belongs: with the people.
From January 2026, Meta commits to giving EU users a real choice on personalised ads on Facebook and Instagram.
Under the Digital Markets Act, full and effective data choice is a right for users in the EU.

Surrounding the phone in a circle are nine white stars, with five small yellow icons interspersed among them: A chat/speech bubble icon (top center) A checkmark shield icon (left) A grid/app store icon (right) A padlock/security icon (bottom center) Below the central design, the text reads: "More choice for consumers". At the very bottom center is the European Commission logo.

Today, we fined X for non-compliance with transparency obligations under the DSA.
We're holding X accountable for:
🔹Deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark’
🔹Lack of transparency of its advertising repository
🔹Failure to provide access to public data for researchers
