mtutiger Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 1 hour ago, pfife said: I think Silver really went wayward when he started deviating from data analytics based proclamations to opinion based proclamations. This is right, and it manifested itself in a number of realms - both political and on COVID. It really got, and continues to be, old to have NYC resident Nate Silver pontificating to many of his readers who don't live on the coasts about what "Real Americans" think. Or hearing him talk about COVID experience from his POV when it didn't necessarily match the experience of everyone in the country. The nuts and bolts of what he has done on data is extremely valuable and I don't hold him in as low of regard as I do as The Cook Political Report set (ie. Wasserman, Walter), but the site has been a lower priority than in the past because of that and just the tendency of the journalism there to be a bit repetitive.

Anywho, I think he worked for the Government. Did Nate Silver ever work for the Government? I thought I remember it being qksilver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ronz Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 You and Lee could be right. I honestly don't remember exactly what it was, but it seemed to be more than just Qslvr or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct abbreviation for Quicksilver would have been Hg. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
