- gaius 13y agoI know several BAs who works for charities. Any large organization needs them to operate efficiently.
- mathattack 13y agoOne of the most important uses of data science is to determine the impact of charitable giving. Is it a more efficient use of money to give people cash, or pay for infrastructure in their town? Is it more efficient to invest in K-5 education, 6-8, high school or college? There are lots of ideological answers to these questions, but data science is great for supplying empirical evidence.
- gaius 13y agoActually civil servants have been churning this stuff out since the 50s, if not before. Politicians ignore it of course, but if you think this is a new thing, then you have fallen into the common data science trap of not knowing there's nothing new under the sun. Which is odd really since anyone calling themselves a scientist of any sort should be able to do some research and not reinvent the wheel.
