How does international guidance for statistical practice align with the ASA Ethical Guidelines?
Gillikin (2017) defines a 'practice standard' as a document to 'define the way the profession's body of knowledge is ethically translated into day-to-day activities' (Gillikin 2017, p. 1). Such documents fulfill three objectives: they 1) define the profession; 2) communicate uniform standards to stakeholders; and 3) reduce conflicts between personal and professional conduct (Gillikin, 2017 p. 2). However, there are many guidelines - this is due to different purposes that guidance writers may ha…

❝There’s an odd perception in the music scene that if you’re not doing music full time as a profession, that you’re somehow less serious than someone who is, and I think that’s exactly backwards. I’m willing to work a full-time job to support my interest in music, like it was a wife and family, and there are millions of people like me. I think that shows that we take it more seriously than somebody who also expects it to be a free ride and pay his rent.❞ —

Quote:"Without an analysis of power, it is hard to understand inequality or much else in modern capitalism."
Good that finally some economists are waking up to see how much their simplistic models have ruined the world.

Mind the gap: job choice not behind lower pay for women - Profession choice explains around 20% of the gender pay gap, says think tank e61, and the rest comes down to employers paying men more than women within the same field.

Luminance's Generative AI-for-law raises $40M Series B
Luminance has raised $40M for its Series B round. The company wants to make good on pronouncements that have clouded the legal profession since ChatGPT's release: that LLMs will be able to replace much of paralegals' work. The round was led by March Capital, with participation from National Grid Partners and existing investors including Slaughter and May. Luminance’s legal LLM automates the generation, negotiation and analysis of contracts and other legal documents — from flagging non-sta…

«D’un bout Š l’autre de cette relation qui aura tout de même duré près de 30 ans, j’ai été d’une passivité totale. Même avant le premier regard, j’avais été faite Š l’idée qu’il était ce Š quoi je devais aspirer. (...) Je ne m’étonne pas d’être moins regardée, mais de ne pas avoir su voir Š quel point le fait de l’être teinte l’air autour de soi.»

Le regard
J’ai longtemps vécu dans le regard des hommes. C’était un lieu mobile, un décor, une sorte d’habitacle. Partout où j’allais, j’allais à sa rencontre. Il me suivait dans les bars, les cafés, les bureaux où je travaillais, les rues où je marchais. Il m’attendait à l’intérieur aussi, chez moi, dans les miroirs et jusque dans la perception que j’avais de moi-même, où il occupait une place au même titre que ma profession, mon goût pour la lecture ou mon amour des chats.

"Prompt Engineering" is the pseudoscience of constructing prompts for Asinine Inference programs like ChatGPT so as to obtain the desired results. It is today's instance of the Search Engine Optimization profession.
"Prompt Sabotage" is the more satisfying art of creating prompts for such AI programs so as to expose their inherent limitations. Some examples to follow. >>

The idea that a professional society is taking away a doctor’s right to practice medicine based on that doctor’s political speech criticizing powerful corporate interests is really dark. This is how fascism happens, folks. And guess what? A doctor fighting polluting industries IS doing the right thing for public health, so such speech should be celebrated! The sooner we phase out fossil fuels, the better.

Diplomacy is a profession , an art maybe. Scholz is not mastering it and doesn't think about deterrence and deliberate/strategic ambiguity etc. Instead he makes absolutely clear Russia does not need to fear NATO troops and weapons in any context in Ukraine. True maybe, but why make Putin more secure and confident ?
Maybe he should agree a pact like in the Molotov-Ribbentrop days (being cynical here).

“UX pretends that capitalism can be coaxed into giving a shit. It chugs along as if UX designers and researchers are the ones who are going to cause a revolution of socialist CEOs who consider users beyond their money and their data.
But the inside secret of commercial UX is that the empathy is just a posture and the businesses benefit from the aura of care without having to entertain it.”

The Aura of Care.
The UX profession has an aura of empathy and care for the people who use tech products. Businesses capitalise on this aura without having to entertain it.

Dreaming Revolutionary Futures: Critical Race’s Centrality to Ending White Supremacy #librarianship does not center the specific, different, and nuanced “material and embodied conditions” of BIPOC in the profession nor those supported by the profession, then we do not consider it progress; we chalk it up as just another projection of the White Supremacy project."

I am constantly seeing "MLA" in different context and I never have any idea what it means at first because it can mean so many different things in my profession.
I've decided I will now just assume it stands for Major League Archery. (No this does not exist.)

Crafting Tomorrow's Evaluations: Assessment Design Strategies in the Era of Generative AI
GenAI has gained the attention of a myriad of users in almost every profession. Its advancement has had an intense impact on education, significantly disrupting the assessment design and evaluation methodologies. Despite the potential benefits and possibilities of GenAI in the education sector, there are several concerns primarily centred around academic integrity, authenticity, equity of access, assessment evaluation methodology, and feedback. Consequently, academia is encountering challenges …

“The third day of jury selection in Donald Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan started Thursday morning with one of the seven jurors sworn for the case saying she wanted out and being excused.
Jurors’ names are not being released publicly. But the woman said that after news reports described her profession and other details, friends, colleagues and family members conveyed to her that she had been identified as a potential juror.”

"You have to prove the threat is real": Understanding the needs of Female Journalists and Activists to Document and Report Online Harassment
Online harassment is a major societal challenge that impacts multiple communities. Some members of community, like female journalists and activists, bear significantly higher impacts since their profession requires easy accessibility, transparency about their identity, and involves highlighting stories of injustice. Through a multi-phased qualitative research study involving a focus group and interviews with 27 female journalists and activists, we mapped the journey of a target who goes through…
