This is a pretty cool instance of running code together, but it doesn't look like you can interchange variables or data. The most common use case for needing to run Python and R together (IMO) is loading some data from Python and using

Huge surprise that this article ignores the most important movement in policy debate (and LD) over the last 20-30 years: a shift from policy to critical debate, which is focused less on abstract notions of 'nuke war' and more on c

I think consulting is a reasonable comparison. Most management consulting firms (Big 3 for sure, and probably Deloitte, Accenture too) will pay for your MBA if you commit to working 2 more years for them. The Cuban government also paid for
