This, and your other responses in this thread, come off as rather disappointing to me, as someone who considers the work they do as "data science". Machine learning as a method clearly has quite a bit to contribute to the business

I would also submit Judea Pearl to the list.

What do you mean by "on temporal data"?. For example, no feature extraction was performed? This sounds pretty amateurish, and completely below the understanding levels of the many machine learning papers that I've read - whic

Worth pointing out that "getting value out of extra space", in the long-term, only benefits property owners, as rents will simply rise to consume the generated surplus. Worst case being that if you want to live in a nice part of t

Could it also be the case that investments driven by speculation and market manipulation would obscure the actual ROI (a lá Uber)? Long-term the intuition is "this must be profitable at some point", so the market participants are

Hmm. Using the site that was the first Google result[0] to test myself and I could never get anything below 220ms. Could you be misremembering by a factor of 10? [0] https://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime&#x2

I agree with your list! Except with your use of the word essential, because I was trying to draw attention to the fact that these jobs are highly reactive, which I think is orthogonal to how essential they are to society (i.e. not "bul

But this brings up that some Vim hotkeys are more positional than mnemonic (J-down, K-up), while others are more mnemonic than positional (I-insert, X-exterminate(?)). Food for thought.

I think we're merely highlighting the distinction between what level of responsivity a job actually requires. Those who deal with things that require near-immediate attention (janitors, sys admins, doctors) would stop the world. Everyo

I think it's fair to consider that our current view on classical music could be due to survivorship bias as well. Consider all of the composers who were lost to time because their peers or musical historians did not consider their musi

I think your comment highlights the biggest take-away from the article. Finding statistics to fit your narrative is a trope in journalism, XKCD has even pointed it out: https://xkcd.com/1845/ I think one way these arti

Mildly high isn't equivalent to stoned, and I don't think it's a stretch to consider that the might be some issues with everyone self-medicating for motivation and concentration with caffeine all day.

I'm not saying reduce the body count, I'm saying don't specialize. If you have three managers, have them do everything, don't fire two of them and give the third one the work of the other two. If you still disagree then

I think that these are different persons leads may be one of the causes of a lot of the negative symptoms we're seeing in project management in our industry. If I compare the teams that I've been on, a lot of the frustration was d

This seems like some application of "no true scottsman" combined with complex human interactions in a theoretically "simple" system. I guess the perfectly rational consumer fits in somehow too.

For things like headphones you should definitely try to find domain experts who have put significant effort into researching and documenting the difference between products, and then purchase based on their review until you're able to

Should we interpret your comment as support that it doesn't necessarily matter what the leading political ideology of the country is, rather who is the one enforcing it?

Have you considered that "isolating" yourself from the people in your community who are most in need has had a negative impact on both you and your community? And that you may vastly overestimate the presence of crime and homeless

This might be off-topic WRT the linked article, but I just wanted to take the time to say that I admire that you did this with your sons. If I become a parent I want to also instill the value of leaving behind a wake of improvement to our e

I believe the post above was working out math that would make it so the probability would be 1 / #(of planets in the universe), which, following the law of large numbers, would mean that given an infinite number of universes, those uni

This really doesn't mean anything to me without a citation. Wikipedia led me to this [1] article, that states "Nearly half of the homeless money, $81.5 million, goes for rent subsidies and programs to assist the 6,355 people livin
