  我强烈推荐阅读《How to Lie with Statistics》[0]。虽然年代久远但依然非常契合现实。[0] http://www.amazon.com/How-Lie-Statistics-Darrell-Huff/dp/039...

  ……针对黑人被警察枪杀这种现象的倾向。我推测正是这种众所周知的趋势催生了这篇文章。我只是觉得切入这个问题领域的方式不对。《How to Lie with Statistics》是一本极好的书。我强烈推荐它。这也是我决定不浪费时间去细读这篇文章的一大原因。

  …for the tendency to see Blacks gunned down by the police. My assumption is this known trend is the driving force behind this piece. I just think this is the wrong way to approach the problem space. How to lie with statistics is an excellent book. I highly recommend it. It is a large factor in my decision to not bother to read this piece too thoroughly.

  365 个数据点怎么能让你的结论具有任何统计显著性？据称 Snapchat 的数字超过 3000 万，Facebook 超过 12 亿，Instagram 是 1.5 亿。我建议读读《How to Lie with Statistics》[1] [1] http://www.amazon.com/How-Lie-Statistics-Darrell-Huff/dp/039... 补充：我觉得这听起来有点刺耳。毫无疑问，Snapchat 的增长是爆炸性的，如果这只是又一个博客垃圾……

  How does 365 data points give your conclusions any sort of statistical significance? Snapchat's numbers are allegedly over 30M, Facebook's are over 1.2B and Instagram's are 150M. I suggest reading "How to Lie with Statistics"[1] [1] http://www.amazon.com/How-Lie-Statistics-Darrell-Huff/dp/039... Edit: I guess that sounded a little harsh. No doubt, Snapchat's growth has been explosive and if this was just another blog-spam…

  ……关于统计学和决策论的。它们可能不太符合某些人对“非技术类”的预期，通常大家以为非技术类就意味着没有公式和数学推理。虽然不是塔勒布写的，但 Darrell Huff 的《How to Lie with Statistics》很适合作为塔勒布系列著作的入门导读。

  …about statistics and decision theory. They might not meet some people's expectations about "non-technology" which usually means no equations and no mathematical reasoning. While not written by Taleb, How to Lie with Statistics by Darrell Huff makes a good introduction for Taleb's books.
