   Paper, electronic, whatever: if you don't trust whoever is responsible for holding elections and counting votes, you won't trust the results regardless of how they were achieved - specially if your candidate has lost. However, I l

   Congratulations, that's very cool! Do you intend to add new features to expand the scope (i.e. visitor personalization)?

   We traded away privacy for "free" apps and services and now we will also give away privacy to help noble causes. Ok, I just hope the loss of privacy does not cause any harm.

   This, and I wonder how we (as societies/countries) aren't aware of that. I know some high level people in ad tech and they couldn't care less, but I believe lots of average Joes would care much more about their online habits

   Thank you for this comment. The internet as a whole needs more of this so we all stop thinking tech and innovation mean a smaller gadget, a new frontend or a VR/AR app.

   Well I'm not sure this will help from a business perspective but here it goes: my father is reaching 65 and he's retiring in a year or so. He's an electronics engineer (and I'm a comp. eng). He doesn't want to stop

    I'm looking into IoT for crop monitoring as a pet project and those lessons should help a lot, thanks for sharing.

    Nothing new here.There are special people (in the organization's point of view) and if they ask for special treatment they will get it, unless it's something unfeasible or ridiculous. Perhaps too many people forgot that Google is

    A thousand times this. Poema em Linha Reta was one of those things that opened my eyes about human nature when I met the author as a teenager.

    Really depends on the application. For clean, concise and reproducible ad hoc statistical analytics and modelling, there isn't a better tool than tidyverse+tidymodels. It's a classic case of the best tool for the job. I usually cr

    To me this is not a tech problem, it's s a company problem. Go to LinkedIn to fix it.

    I agree with the need for neuralink and I don't expect it to happen in this century - we've just started to scratch the surface when it comes to our brains and how they work. Putting all of human science together as well as not be

    If what you saying is true, in the long run there should be stark differences on business results and pace of incremental and disruptive tech.

    IMO the only thing the everyday person can do about pretty much anything big nowadays is to vote and hope for slow change during decades.

    That is, indeed, a good response and question. Like you can't have a cellphone without giving money to China, for example. The only way I see is to avoid consumerism, being conscious about it and voting on politicians with that kind of

    I'm no expert but if your values don't stop you from buying things from countries that don't share them, maybe your values don't matter, right?

    I understand the skepticism but to MB's merit he has skin in the game on this as the options he's holding show. That's very different than being an analyst crying wolf without betting money on anything.

    It's been around 8 years since this happened: I started learning R and a Gartner consultant told me I was wasting my time because, "as Gartner puts it", the future of data science is citizen data scientists with very little c
