Seems like the issue is the fig leaf of stadium financing being about jobs and new small businesses and all that good stuff. It would be nice if there was more transparency ("Buffalo will pay for the stadium because we know you live th

It's hard to avoid the instinct to swat when something crawls or buzzes on you. Not sure it's a species thing though. I wouldn't jump to murder but I might swat at an uninvited person I found spinning silk behind my washing m

When you're job is going well, you don't need the stock. If you need the stock it's probably because your job is ending (hopefully in a happy retirement, but regardless you'll lose your visibility). If a diversified port

The other glass half full aspect here is that you'll be able to establish a network of people who are or will be CIOs when it's time to launch. Then you'll have the explaining problem partially solved. "I don't unde

Interestingly I forget my wallet and keys all the time (to the extent it is possible since most trips require driving where I am). My phone and wedding ring are the only items that give me the "something is missing" spidey sense.

This is a fascinating post, thank you for sharing your experiences! That coffee creamer and lemon juice cheesecake sounds interesting. Do you still crave and/or make at home any of the weird food items you described? Where did you stor

I think hockey fans should count their blessings! As a lifelong baseball fan and someone who works with data for a living the analytics revolution is killing the sport. People discovered that sacrifice bunts weren't worthwhile, but the

To be fair, we have had a decades long problem with European genocide-doers settling in the US. There have been regular deportations of former nazis up until just a few years ago. There must be tens or hundreds of thousands of Europeans who

You're right but really the sheet is just a mess. Naive Bayes is on both sides of "Data Too Large" and the wrong side of "Explainable." It's almost like they put some algorithm names and machine learning concep

I didn't see the headline as misleading because it did not mention individual risk. Would appending a clause mentioning that gay men remain at greater risk improve the headline? Or is it possible that this story should be presented in

Now that's a demo! Takes you from a gentle reminder how to run a program in your shell to showing off an impressive feature then tells you how to discover more. Every project should take notes on this.

Getting good at solving problems with relational databases is a highly underrated skill. They are really underutilized by many projects. Not to say any other software is bad, just that keeping the stack simple can help small teams move quic
