That sounds like bad coders, not that R is bad. Evidenced by: >No threading to manage concurrency R is used in production at EA, Activision, Ebay, Trulia, Google, Microsoft and many, many more. Those are just the ones I've seen give

As someone living in a country where one of the biggest banks was robbed to fund hostile takeovers and media propaganda for many years (€3Bn spent on that), I can assure you that the law means jack shit.

"Leap" is quite the exaggeration IMO, especially talking about ML. This is improvement wrt to neural networks which had some support in R already (mxnet). In ML, in general, R is quite a bit ahead of the competition. You have been

In addition to what the others have said, there is a very big list of 3rd party vendors who use C#. Look at enterprise CMS, for example. Microsoft also has a very large footprint in both CRM and ERP systems. Those install bases and the ISVs

Why would insurance companies do this? They stand to lose a TON by autonomous vehicles. Estimates are in the 60 to 80% of the market to go away.

They use counterfactuals, so they are comparing apples to apples. There are other ways to do it. One of the easiest, yet most effective way is matching. You can match your observations with various statistical models, k-means would do a ver

Cisco is one of the top most beloved b2b brands. I'm talking Apple level attachment here.

If you pay attention to Cisco's communications and moves you will see what they are doing - moving from hardware to software (an operating system and related services) and letting go thousands of hardware engineers.

There's quite the difference between a textbook and an investing book. If you read my comment again, you will notice that I recommend getting textbooks. Damodaran's Corporate Finance is a textbook. Taleb's books and any other

I am very glad this is the top voted answer. Forget investing books and blogs and whatever. All worthless junk. Read the accounting textbooks and figure out valuations. Then you can figure out trading with your stats skills. A couple of goo

You literary said "I don't think things could get much worse than where we are today". This is dizzyingly insulting. Do you read that right? You misunderstood things so bad that I felt physically dizzy. And that's the pr

Planning. Oftentimes all you need is to calculate some columns and play with numbers and see how the calculations change. The same things that make Excel bad for robust statistical modeling, make it good for all sorts of planning activities

If libre office/google docs fits your needs, you are artificially limiting your needs*. Probably not even realizing it. Unless what you do can be done with a calculator (barebones basic stuff).

That's a concern for sure but not as big as you make it out to be IMO.

I don't know what else to call you since you continue to write incredibly naive things. Many Americans? Many Americans are dumb as a brick like most people in every other place. The world falling to shit? How much history have you read
