Subject-verb agreement for the internet age will have to wait for a while.
Perhaps the word "statistics" is singular, like "mathematics".

"Statistics reinvented for the internet age" looks like a cheap knock-off of the long known bayesian statistics.
It's actually sequential testing which is not necessarily Bayesian. Also, it's not a cheap knock off. Just another way of getting to an answer.
Not trying to pick a fight, just as a statistitian/ML developer I've seen the same things be reinvented and renamed so many times.

Bayesian updating of the posterior? Or if you prefer frequentist algorithms for online learning of classifiers? Not trying to pick a fight, just as a statistitian/ML developer I've seen the same things be reinvented and renamed so many times.

It's something I've heard both ways. Whether it's correct in both cases ... I'm not sure. "I end up feeling like a statistic" is a singular form, for sure, but I often hear/read "statistics" referenced singularly as well.

#18This graph is a joke: https://d1qmdf3vop2l07.cloudfront.net/optimizely-marketer-as... And any company trying to sell a statistical tool/package that would actually create a graph like that is selling snake oil. Your model only gets better, digitally, and never sees a regression? And you're using this for web analytics?

I don't think the graph is particularly good either, but I think you're maybe reading it wrong too. The y axis is significance level which makes sense would normally improve as visitors go up. Their line arguably is a moving average regression.
(If that wasn't the case, you could just figure out which was the only direction it would move and then stop collecting data. You've already got your answer)
