A tell for fake firms in my local newspaper is they ask for a snail mail resume. These appear to me to be more like shell companies submitting multiple H1Bs as far as I can tell though, not legit firms saying they cannot hire any US.

Care to elaborate on this? So this post does not save the resulting weight, so you don't use that in any subsequent calculations. You would just treat the result as a simple random sample. So it is unclear why this critique matters.

Very nice, another pro-tip for folks is that you can set the weights to get approximate stratified sampling. So say group A had 100,000 rows, and group B had 10,000 rows, and you wanted each in the resulting to have approximately the same p

I'm sorry but this model is wild and highly misleading. Based on one variable and 7 observations, days since you have started, you have fit a model with `2 + 128 + 64^2` parameters. It happens that a straight line is fine for this data

So have not dealt with McKinsey specifically, but other MBA/Consultant types I feel like they treat software engineering like we are ditch diggers -- they just request things and expect it to magically happen. So most of the requests a

So the message on my desktop is below where I can see, and ditto when I preview in phone (either orientation). So still a problem. IMO I would just make the input box smaller. And maybe do a legend for the pie chart, so immediately clearer

I was aware of that, but I would still be interested to know the actual costs. I do not think "it is ok to blog about potential fraud in scientific publications because GoFundMe will pay for my lawyers" is a good assumption for mo

While a favorable ruling for the Data Colada defendants seemed incredibly likely in the end (and of course being dismissed pre-trial before discovery is a good thing). But it still took over a year, and consisted of several pre-trial hearin
