Interesting read. I think that the combination of Ruby (for data aggregation and preparation) and R (for calculation and visualization) is great. For instance, in the related-but-not-exactly category: http://www.r-chart.com/2010/10/max-h

When I first saw that Graffiti, I thought it would take a big investment of time to adjust my writing style. As I recall, I was able to get by with just adjusting the way I wrote a half dozen characters or so, and just printed the way I ha

The main point - rule of thumb - that can be derived: consider removing price as the default decision criteria Most of the comments here (and parts of the original article) are elaborations on applying this principal. So price is not nec

Many of the comments are focused on how workers should be evaluated. The article is discussing how workers are evaluated. In fact, the authors emphasize: "Managers may not be aware they are making evaluations based on face time." Yo

I like that statement: "...test-taking" training basically consists of saving time by training away from full reasoning... A quote from one of my professors: "Tests test what tests test." Tests end up serving as an observable criteria
