I am not at all comfortable with the elimination of paper currency no matter what the rationale proffered by politicians and government hacks. Control of people from the top down is an ever present risk and cash money has a strong offsetti

Data Science is an esoteric field. I'm not sure there is a guaranteed way to become adept at it anymore than there is a good way to become an excellent software developer except to do and continuously learn and evaluate yourself. It&

While it's nice to think that people with no background can succeed in Data Science, I'm not sure it is true. There are a lot of hacks who never did "science" coming out of the woodwork lately. It's a bit ugly.

I don't think Trump would pack those venues so full of people if he wasn't somehow in tune with what a whole lot of people are thinking. He is easy to dismiss. He is not a politician. He is not pre-packaged or polished. He is

I don't share that optimism. I think there is a normalcy bias at work here. It's going to catch up with us all at once.

The US Debt to GDP ratio has turned us into Japan. It's stagnation. It's hard to be optimistic in such an environment because nothing feels right and then we have a lying-ass government to further obfuscate the facts.

"A day by air" doesn't really connote how arduous a trip it is from the states. It's a long trip, even by air.

"It's already happening"--um, you realize that "it's" been happening on this planet for millions of years, right? The climate changes, all over the world. Before humans, after humans.

I don't accept the reality of any science performed in an echo chamber--I've been too close to people doing that research and I know that what motivates them is not ultimate truth. Take that for what you will.

The law of the jungle is fine, but it won't preclude a shitty self-driving car from crashing through your living room and killing one of your kids. It's one thing to suffer harm to yourself, it is quite another to go through losi

They may be a darling of Wall Street, but they have jumped the shark technologically. You've already seen the peak.

Apple has gone cheap. That's what is wrong. The Late 2012 Mac Mini I bought recently died for no apparent reason. It had upgradeable hard disks and memory. The 2014 version I just replaced it with has 4GB of RAM soldered onto the b

We need a complete top-to-bottom restructuring of our Federal Government--end welfare, end the giant socialist military system hiding within our economy. We need to audit the Fed and then probably close it down or somehow come up with soun

All that you said is right--we have allowed a monster to grow. And killing that monster is going to require sacrifice now. It never comes any other way.

The answer to that isn't more taxes and regulations. Government has completely failed us. The answer is for the people to get off their butts and do something about the problem.

The repeal of Glass Steagall had a great deal to do with our current predicament. That occurred during Bill Clinton's Presidency. The whole finance industry has much to atone for. Their greed has brought this nation to its knees. I

Then again, it's pretty hard to run a "successful fund" these days due to the overwhelming influence of the Fed which has washed out every other indicator. A lot of funds are shutting down and returning their clients' m

That is correct. It's like that shill, what's his name? Cramer. That guy's advice is worthless, but he was put on tv for a reason. Doesn't it bother anyone else that our media today merely exists to message lies?

Wouldn't it make sense to become a touch typist, then? I've watched so many developers be less effective than they could be simply because they can't type!

Me too. I loved it. I could not think of a better way I could have spent my 20s. But I was going broke and had to get out.

I hate to burst your bubble, but outside of the major metros, there are few data science type jobs that are any good. It's an up-and-coming field, maybe--but as someone with a PhD and a lot of software development experience, making t

It's because the whole rotten mess that is academia is dying, that's why.

Having gone through a lot of what is discussed in the article, I have concluded that academic research careers are for rich people only. I didn't even have student loans, but the pay was ridiculous given how many years of my 20s I spe

You also forgot to mention how they took order from clients at one desk, then swiveled the chair around and told the prop desk what the order was so the house could front run the order or do one of any number of other unethical things to th
