Precisely. And who's to say which leaked DMs are real and which ones are faked? If you're interested in this kind of stuff, I recommend the book Active Measures.

You'd be surprised. Some celebrities might engage in salacious activities via DM but even the most boring corporation can have lots of customer information in support chats.

Agreed, it could be as simple as someone at Twitter calling someone in the White House every time someone logs into the account. (The White House has a ton of staff, I met some of their IT people at a conference back in the day.)

Yeah, this hack is a wakeup call. It could have been so much worse. Next time it probably will be.

I'm amazed at how many companies have teams of cybersecurity professionals and teams that violate the most basic rules of cybersecurity.

Don't hate on your code. If it runs and does what you want, then it's good code. Refactoring later can be useful and improve things like performance and readability but what matters is that it works.

The United States is the same way. I grew up in the Midwest and I've lived in Washington DC for the past 14 years. There's a huge difference in crime levels between the two.

I've lived in Washington DC long enough to remember back when our subway was allowed to run in (mostly) automated mode. There was a deadly accident that wasn't directly the fault of the Automatic Train Control (the human operator

Most of my direct reports work from home full time, just like most people in our company. We look at the output from our teams and we frankly don't care if people are checking Facebook on their phones during business hours. Focusing on

Thank you for the explanation! I'd never heard of nix and I was confused by the article.

This is a game changer! Thank you for letting me know. Kanopy is a deeply underapprciated gem.

It partly depends on how small your target group is. If you want to reach "People who travel" then targeting the travel page of the NYT should work nicely. But to play devil's advocate, what if you want to reach the 300 oncol

Data scientist here. It's common to define boundaries for a machine learning algorithm by hand. Think of telling a chess AI that it can't move pieces off the board.

Exactly! I use R every day as the head of the data science department at a corporation. Most of my work is medium-sized data analysis projects and nothing can touch R for that level of work.

Agreed! String manipulation functions in base R work differently in ways that make data cleaning annoying. Stringr frees me from having to remember that stuff and lets me focus on what I'm trying to do instead.

I run a data science department at a corporation and this is exactly how we handle our massive amounts of data. It's rare that we're using a billion+ data points in one model so we use SQL to get the data we need in the format we

Exactly! TensorFlow is the only Python data analysis package I've used that doesn't automatically convert things in the background. I was helping a friend with STATA the other day, which doesn't automatically convert, and I r

I totally agree! Most recipe sites don't focus on what I want: recipes. I'm a pretty good home cook and I've been trying to get better at timing. Getting all elements of a big dinner party ready at the same time is tricky. Th

This is very accurate. I've found that the simplest model with good enough results is often the best in the business world. On the one hand, that means I spend less time pushing the boundaries of what we're capable of doing as an

May I suggest dryer lint as tinder. I keep all of mine in a bucket for just that purpose.

I think there's a big difference between scammy paywall sites and the likes of the New York Times. Banning all paywall sites would be excessive.

I think you'd like the book Qualityland. This kind of scenario is a major plot point.

In fact, many public sector jobs exist because they are too valuable (or difficult) for the market to pay. In the time before lighthouses were automated, try to calculate the value of the lighthouse keeper who prevented deaths and lost carg
