There's an economic theory that job satisfaction is a kind of compensation. That is, you have to pay people more to do unsatisfying jobs.

Why on earth are you offended that a company responded positively when you created a relationship with them? If you think visiting your LinkedIn profile is stalking, you should delete it. Totally agree that sales teams can overreach though.

You're absolutely on the right track. There are well-established statistics tools that formalize your intuition and carry it forward to its logical conclusion. > "by day of week" This means you have a time series with dail

The catch it the “and looking at our data” part. ML is basically a collection of thorough ways to look at your data, understand the patterns and infer what that means for the future. In your example, you should absolutely start by cleaning

Anytime you need to make sense of unstructured data like images or text and drive an automated business process off it.

All the mechanics scale like you’d expect. You have bigger matrices containing more observations with more parameters per observation. Keep the dimensions aligned properly and everything works out just like it would with smaller vectors. Th

If you know linear algebra, machine learning is not much further to go. You can understand pretty much all the models by looking under the hood at the math. At that point it’s just experience to learn the rules of thumb that guide practical

You want an “intimate Internet” with its own search capability to restore the feel of the early web? Probably we should make sure it’s easy for less technical people to use. Needs a good story around mobile and rich media. Oh dear, we’ve re

I used their online video support this year. I thought it was pretty good. You get an appointment, the. They all you (on time!) and open a little video window in your browser. Overall I felt more confident in my return knowing a CPA looked

This is a common question in law enforcement: once you discover a facilitator or illegal activity, how long do you monitor it before attacking? You can learn a lot by watching, but eventually you have to Do Something or you become complicit

Cloudflare addresses this in the blog post: There are a couple of different approaches. One is DNS-over-TLS. That takes the existing DNS protocol and adds transport layer encryption. Another is DNS-over-HTTPS. It includes security but also

I’m too young for Usenet, but I think it’s an interesting bit of history. I like how open it seems relative to current social media.

What did I just read. It’s like trying to understand satire from a hundred years ago. I was convinced it was hopelessly corrupted by the archiving process, but some of the ASCII art still works (mostly).

I would be very interested to see some studies on Europe’s experiments with vice decriminalization. Prostitution in the Netherlands and Drugs in Portugal seem to be the main ones. Link?

Interesting links, thanks. From the Mental Help article: > the major concern about [Johns] is not so much that they pay for sex but that they seem blind to the plight of these women. They convince themselves that prostitution is a choice

I am unaware of this behavior by Craigslist. I want to believe that people are taken seriously when they alert authorities to crimes against them. The #MeToo movement suggests this doesn’t happen as readily as I would like. > but someone

I’m open to decriminalization. There’s a spectrum between criminality and unrestricted markets. I think we’re way to far towards the criminality side of that spectrum. We can start decriminalizing now, open up more if it appears to work. Wh

I've been thinking about this a lot this morning. I think almost every vice would be less damaging to society if it was in the open. Polite society doesn't want to see sex work or drugs, but they still exist. Hiding them makes thi

Facebook is a public company, so this should all show up in their quarterly earnings reports. At minimum the Cambridge Analytica scandal will have to be addressed. If users are leaving the platform, that would need to be reported too.

I don’t think you have to be a conspiracy theorist to find this weird. Facebook has been aggressively monetizing user data for years. They are just one player in an entire industry built around this business model. The existence of this ind

I agree with you, and have seen other examples: - government managers are evaluated on budget and headcount because the core services they provide are hard to measure. Thus they don’t want new software to help them be more efficient, unless

I think the time commitment is the biggest issue. Let's assume the costs are the same to me (perhaps due to employer subsidy): When I take a MOOC, I'm pledging at least 5 hours a week. That covers 2 hours of videos, 2 hours of hom

You can always get the paper later -- they are for sale. The main issue is just deciding to spend the time they demand. Go to school when you feel you need something they can teach you, and not before.

I think you missed the point - it's not being over eager. It's a methodical approach to quickly learning about your new organization.

Yeah, browser integration is critical. That’s why IPFS has focused on the JS implementation. One nuance - these p2p protocols are not as simple as HTTP, FTP, etc. They require persistent connections to many peers and significant local stora
