Estimating the population of monthly twitter users (as defined by: did tweet) from `statuses/sample` is something I'm going to have to do for engineering purposes, apparently. Which is boring but I haven't gotten to do any estimation in a while, so...I want to lol.

I think it actually may be a fun problem. statuses/sample is about 1% of the firehose. But, you have to account for shitposters like me who are grossly over-represented and who crowd out user_id's.
