When they bought GNIP they ended their partnership with DataSift. It was a major blow to DataSift. It was a shrewd move on Twitter's part. My company switched over to using GNIP and our DataSift sales rep told us tons of other customer

Tangent: agile, waterfall, and the rest are just individual "methods", not "methodologies". Or at least they should be. Unfortunately it seems our living language is allowing this "-ology" to stop meaning &quo

I find it easier to visually match the start and end of the blocks that the brace pair defines. Having said that, my team uses the opening brace on same line style and that's fine too. Since I use an IDE, it doesn't matter much ei

Feels like an SEO hacker trying to understand and influence a black box search result ranker like Google's. Which is kind of nuts and you'll always be a step behind. Would be pretty cool and interesting if a recommender like Spoti

On the marketing document analogy, a service might reduce the overall effectiveness of these types of lines as a signal. Right now these lines are a differentiator not so much for their literal content but for the signaling that the person

Without the profs' guidance most grad students would take too long converge on an interesting topic and still have time to see it through in a standard length grad school stay.

True but it's crazy that it took 20 years to get sane layout control.

How about an analogy to CPU clock speed, bus speed, etc.? I think that's really what the camera analogy is getting at -- the rate at which the signals are getting processed and acted upon. Clock speed / bus speed would similarly d

Cognition Builders' particular practices seem pretty obnoxious but behavioral analysis conditioning can be very useful in general. For example, I've used profanity my who life. My wife didn't and it genuinely offended her mor

I don't think they sold it though. This is Priceonomics thing now -- companies pay them to write stories using the company's data as a more highbrow form of content marketing. I assume Earnest commissioned this vs them selling or

On the frozen meat point, I'd bet large sums of money people can't distinguish between fresh and frozen-within-3-or-so-months meat. In fact, frozen meat can be reliably made even tastier than fresh if you cook it straight fron the

PMML is alive and well for sure. It really only covers simpler model types so something aimed at deep nets models is a welcome addition. However, PMML is still alive and well because plenty of ML will continue to be based on simpler model t

In this particular genre there are no off-the-shelf platforms or even accepted set of best practices for something as comprehensive as this for generalized ML pipelining infrastructure. It's still very Wild West. I've done a lot

"Passion" the term definitely needs to be retired. It's pretty much a dog whistle as you say. However, whatever you want to call it, I do prefer to work with people who have both a high work ethic and an intrinsic interest an

Given the power we see in 100+ study meta-analysis in medicine, I think we have to move towards a model where research grants in other fields (psych, sociology, etc.) are jointly awarded to multiple independent groups to jumpstart the meta-

Super interesting. I'd love to see people in this thread comment on this. It is a little odd how "diversity in tech" is so over represented in the public debate when there are clearly many other jobs that are even more heavil

If nobody knows which 20% of tactics gets you 80% of the results for any given product, then it's good that the list covers all the possible things. By definition of that rule, you can't generally weight any of the items above the

It's not that people belive there is literally no difference. It's that people say the differences that do exist are irrelevant and/or aren't useful for making choices such as who might be better at what. If that's

Clearly you strongly reject the writings overall. Curious if you see any merit or truth to any of the sub sections or smaller kernels of ideas found within? Is there any version of this kind of thing you would encourage and engage with or i
