Petabytes upon petabytes, and it has to be correct, really well archived, and set up for reporting, stats, and ad hoc

Agreed, meanwhile large banks do things that are technically incredible but get seen as boring.

I find it pretty ironic that in Idaho they would oppose a scenario that is aligned to “free market” principles and that Oregon would oppose immigration. I once took a job in Portland and had stuff thrown at my car because of the CA license

I agree that the data will shift the results of the model and that some predictors can be proxies for others that are protected, but the claim was that the models themselves were biased (rather globally) and was curious whether that was sho

What types of models and what types of bias are you referring to?

From my observations it seems as though many houses and apartments are intentionally left empty and one possible approach towards improving housing availability is to disincentive this practice by increasing property taxes on those.

I think a more accurate title would be something along the lines of “Hiring the most talented is a difficult prospect.”

Entry level tech jobs are remarkably scarce and difficult to obtain/maintain. Even with a masters and experience it takes 100+ applications. Most companies don’t hire programmers and the ones that do often contract it out overseas. I

Is it sturdy? I have an old Dell that’s gone 6+ years

I think when a company becomes a major communication platform for over a billion users and purchases competitors they are no longer “just a private company” and it isn’t practical to “just use something else”

Reminds me of the debates as to whether NULL values are values which is an interesting topic.

Right. I think it ignores the importance of the data when building a model. Even great data can lead to difficult modeling scenarios. The premise that a “solution” can guarantee (or even partially guarantee) to be useful is misleading.

Can these run Linux too? If so, I'll buy a few of them.

My grandma and her identical twin had very similar personalities, skills, interests, and life choices. Even their voices were very similar.

Yes, my first thought was acquisition.

It seems as though this notion gets very subjective and gets leveraged to influence policy decisions. Libya and Iraq are the first examples that come to mind.

My best managers were experts at that. Didn’t realize how good they were until they got poached. It helped that they were able to push back on things above them they knew to be harmful.

Over time they have been systemically raising prices. I have noticed this and it has been mentioned on HN by ex-team members.

That explains it. I’d say given the difficulty, importance, and rarity of the skill set the pay should be quite a bit higher.

Same, I’ve seen postings for Fortune 500 cobol principal engineers paying 130k wanting 10+ years of domain specific experience

Yes, the decisions could go either way depending on circumstances. I think for me this was a good example of needing to stay on topic. Original comment was that not paying a middleman is one potential benefit of keeping common services i

I think the distinctions between supports and essential to value get pretty subjective. Since 2008 the number of contracting roles has increased quite a bit and there are disputes as to whether Uber drivers (or engineers) are employees. I

Not paying the person in between? I worked at PepsiCo for a little and most of their job responsibilities weren’t unique to the product offering or business model.

Yes, there was blood testing data that had skyrocketed and an insulin requirement 8-10 times the normal amount for the given set of carbohydrates and time of day adjustments.

Is a posting board not an appropriate place for sharing personal experiences?

It is a interesting notion to ask oneself how much these web services are worth or how to spell out contractual relationships for advertising.
