Passing judgments ('no one care') on others, has it's own costs down the line. You make it harder for yourself to respect or trust people if it is your starting point. You can rephrase your approach to - searching for people

Good post. They are enslaved to their datacenters now that they have built them. It influences the way they think. Every time I see Google's "searched X trillion articles in .5s" message, I do wonder what kind of wastage is h

In software, while everything seems massive and endlessly complex, the moment you spot your first little bug or fix it, all that complexity and mystery goes into the background. It's like a little door opens, showing you where you can

heheh...it does feels like that, when you pay attention to what everyone is upto and try to keep up with everything. But all that is not necessary if you are clear about what your interests are. Over time, it's not hard to tell who is

Social science/psycology departments world wide are doing their best work today, given the amount of data pouring in. Give it time and don't focus too much on the doom and gloom crowd. The solutions never come from that crowd. I f

More importantly we live in times were companies are much more efficient at exploiting human weakness. They do it faster and at larger scales than ever before. There is hardly time for even experts to react to what they are seeing unfold, f

There is no 'perhaps' about the media's outrage factory. It distracts, causes unnecessary polarization and most importantly takes focus away from much bigger underlying issues - why voters turned to Trump, how to connect with

They need to reveal how many of those accounts were Journalists and their Stringers. I am always amazed how many people the news orgs can instantly deploy to report mass shootings. How many interviews, vids and pics they can generate, how m

Sounds like the author wants to work at a university. And that is probably where the best data science results are going to come from. Where inter-disciplinary teams and cross talk are the norm. Science takes time to make sense of data. We

There is this underlying notion that they are informing and educating the masses, the curious among the masses atleast. I have a feeling there is something wrong with that notion. Can't really put a finger on it...

Learning is learning. He has clearly learnt how to do something. And do it well. The entire article is very clear and well thought out. To me it signals a disciplined and methodical mind, that learns from doing. And we are lucky it's w

Most definitely primitive. Which is why we need math, musical notation, sign language, programming languages etc etc. They all get created to overcome limitations of spoken language. And they all have their own advantages and disadvantages.

I think this is a good point. Users get desensitized to this kind of stuff and learn to filter it out/stop noticing over time. Psychologists or UX designers might have better input into the right mechanism. I personally would guess it

Well said. Good communicators know this. They expect to be corrected, dismissed, mocked, mistrusted etc and to ignore it all and bring focus back to their arguments without offending anyone. Hang around old people who know what they are doi
