Data scientists (in my opinion as one) should be spending most of our time listening and talking to our colleagues, our clients, our peers, teachers, and - last of all- to the data. Last because we dive into the data searching for things, a

Then maybe they go out of business. Capitalism doesn't guarantee that a firm's business plan will work forever.

Talyllyn on its eponymous railway in Wales has been in regular service since 1864. The big boys are actually some if the youngest steam engines, built right at the very end of the age of steam in the US.

Most of my hiking maps are printed on Tyvek or the equivalent. And in any case a map is a piece of safety equipment - you spec if for the worst case scenario.

Two thoughts: 1) Much of this is the bias of this community towards new and more more technical companies. At many of our work places Data Science is just part of the landscape and is now baked in. But there is a wide gap between that and

The value is a "Data Scientist" isn't that they know how to use a tool - it's that tell know why to use _that_ tool (technique) and not this other one.

It's not at all unusual to have runs of stories. Stories are not independent things. Stories are the public face of a background process (investigative reporting) that surfaces many interrelated aspects of an issue. Waiting for all the

I did exactly this; went to Hunter College CUNY and paid my way through with a part time job. Mom and Dad payed all of freshman year tuition and I did live at home. End result: no student debt. But I still needed that safety net to make tha

That's more or less what ORMs try to be.

Honestly, probably a worse year. They just don't seem to get why they are in the hole they are in and keep trying to escape by digging up.

If you are doing things right you never say the equivalent of "they're all white" - you give a distribution. Explaining that and what it means is a communications issue, not a data one.

It should also be noted that we have anti fraud tech baked into our system that fires before our geodata stuff runs. Fraud gets cleared out for being fraud not for being bad location data.

Not really fraud, phones have different levels of horizontal accuracy based off of privacy settings, GPS & cell signal strength, battery life, CPU load and that's before you get to the obfuscation that exchanges do. At Dstillery we

And even before that, the steamboat was invented here, the Manhattan project was called that because it was originally in Manhattan. Edison was over in Jersey and Tesla on Long Island. Republic had it's plant out on the island too wher

My family has had the same apartment in Queens since 1916. It'll go to my brother at some point in the future. An outlier for sure but plenty of the people I grew up with were in multi generational apartments and expected to be the nex

Yes, in a toy space ML replicates simplistic measures, there's only so much information to be had in such a space to start with. The power of these techniques is when we apply them to high-complexity or even unbounded-complexity areas.

Considering the cost of storage it's probably cheaper to launch N sensors and just keep a record raw everything. Which is more or less the model of the existing earth-sensing satellite world.

NJT is a mess but Metro North is pretty great. I walk to the train and then walk GCT to our office on Park. I grew up in Queens and my commute to Manhattan is shorter now when I live 30 miles outside the city. But I also pay for that with W

The algo is almost besides the point. The real work is in getting the data, cleaning it, and then explaining WTF is going on to lay people. Im most DS jobs how you get there is irrelevant.

The main job of a DS is to have creative ideas about how to solve difficult problems. Creativity doesn't come on a schedule. Sometimes I have a rush of ideas that come all together - often because one idea unlocks lots of other ones. S

Ugh, it's not more accurate, hell accurate don't even mean anything here. This is just a projection that makes different compromises making a pseudo sphere fit on to a plane. Projections are tools, different ones have different us
