F# is HUGE. There are other things like akka.net, orleans, dotnumerics, accord, alglib. Infer.net for graph based models. A lot of others are proprietary.

I remember watching this video a while ago and it is super basic. I can assure you that there are great many things that google sheet lacks.

Sure if you are an application developer (like an integrator, BI, ERP, etc). Make cooperatives. But they won't be flat. You still have a boss - your partner. Every partner is like a mini company and they share resources and partners vo

Law firms are very different in how they generate revenue and operate than every other company. There is no basis for comparison.

If you have the budget and persistence, you need need to be doing retargeting. Sponsored posts are... meh.

That's not the case at all. In fact, advertising on facebook (at scale) requires very complex measurement with statistical models. People need to understand that marketing (in this case advertising) is hard. Just because you can code o

But HNers keep telling me that advertising is dead business model.

Please. Deep learning is cool and all and has its applications but state if the art inplies that it,s the best for everything when in reality is that they are just very good for a very little subset of problems.

Iraq and pretty much everythink bad in the middle East stems from ussr ivasion of Afghanistan. It's not the sole target for blame (plenty Of that to go around for everybody) but it's what (re)started to dumpster fire.

Isn't land already taxed? I believe it is, so you must be talking about increasing the taxes on land while scrapping the rest. Or even further, probably taxing property (a skyscraper doesn't have too big of a land footprint). A fe

Japan is especially apt comparison. All Asian countries have huge cultural problems. The Japanese were very good at mass producing supply lines. A few people do the important job and a million drones watch blinking lights on a machine. When

Quik self-service OLAP. Blazing fast slice & dice and multidimensional expressions (cube formulas). I would need a corporate BI solution to get that and it won't be self-service. Nothing beats Excel + Power BI in reporting.

Except that there is Power Pivot which is xVelocity - the same columnar store database use in SQL Server.

I have 2.4 billion data points loaded in Excel at the moment. Not that it matters. "Data science" is not something that magically kicks in after you go beyond some "big data" threshold. Excel is heavily used in manageria

That would depend on what you want to do. If by statistical analysis you mean regression or similar tasks, then sure R is the way to go. However there are other family of analytics tasks which can be summed up as "decision analysis&quo

It can hold many more if you use Power Pivot.

Yeah... try it at the LCS. Twitch's tech blows in every aspect imaginable. Shitty site, shitty flash, shitty mobile experience, shitty stream. It's a pity they have such a stronghold on streamers+viewers.

How to spot a good accountant: - How much is 1+1? Correct answer: Whatever you want it to be.

Pulling probabilities out of your behind is not statistics. Currently we have an anecdote and you want to extrapolate from that. That's shoddy science.

I am interested in this as well. Power BI is head and shoulders above anyone else in BI at the moment and I have never seen them make any deceitful claims. Every time it's "easy, but for advanced functionality you need DAX".

If you think psychology is shoddy science wait until you hear some cosmology! The universe is very big so there MUST be life elsewhere. It just can't be otherwise!

There's plenty done to help them. Most of them just don't want it. They prefer to buy lotto tickets, bad food and watch TV and in their spare time, fall for greedy scams like this one. You can forcefully take something from a pers

No, my qualification is that I create statistical models for living and I know how flawed they are. What are yours?

No, it sounds like balanced opinions are always better than radical opinions. Radicals are almost always wrong and always unproductive. And to answer your other question, environmental NGOs have plenty to do with atmospheric research. They

Yeah, those physics and chemistry models are made by scientists who are really, really smart and are 100% correct, 100% of the time. They have lab coats and all. It's definitely possible to model the whole climate system. Amazon is mak
