Is it common to have sysadmins to be ad-hoc HVAC service admins too?

I would argue that Bayes Theorem is taught in high school basically conditional probabilities and inferences. The issue is that applied Bayes Theorem is not taught. What do you do with information given with the data at hand?

I've used it sparingly but recognize that I should be using it more. It is really powerful for cleaning up messy data. I'm not sure of the stack but I did reach out to one of the developers about being on HackerNews. Hopefully

Perhaps there is no leap forward in long haul trucking. Yet there are many supervised machine learning products in the market and doing well (Tesla autopilot, iRobot vacuums, etc). I bet the founder can find a niche that could be marketab

There are a lot of optimization software tools available. One of my favorite is GLPK which is a free software implementation of AMPL. I created a employee scheduling framework for GLPK. It's listed as one of the examples in the down

Unfortunately for this data analyst NoSQL is alive and well. It is being rolled out to enterprise levels without the downstream impacts fully realized. This requires all sorts of ad-hoc ETL data methods which in turn puts more time and st

Yes of course. Yet usually it's focused on their product or service and profitability. I'm guessing since a public benefit corporation would have a different focus that is more end-user facing.

My belief is that instead of being shareholder focus that RStudio, Inc. is going to be customer and end-user focused. I'm not sure how this is held accountable. I suppose in the near term it would be a public relations form of accoun

Not sure. Legally those would be considered Acts of God, right? HAL is designed, programmed, and given autonomy.

My first thought. I'm a licensed Professional Engineer. If I build something and "stamp" it for approval I am legally held responsible for negligence of work. https://www.nspe.org/resources/ethics/

Agree on all of these points. One thing is you need to preserve the engagement. If you are the founder of the community platform make sure you keep content being contributed and be personally accessible.

Data Science as a practice is not anything new. There has always been practitioners of statistics, math, prediction, and so on. What is new is the merging of technologies that harnesses the large amounts/kinds/disparities of dat

Not surprising. Sony's core competency is hardware. I believe they thought it would drive more sales of PSs and TVs. I'm not sure that panned out. Without content driving subscriptions it probably isn't a profit driver. I&

To be honest I don't find Python to be very useful for data cleansing. Full disclosure I use R quite a bit and use Python sparingly. If you want to use R for data analysis I suggest the R package Tidyverse or use a product like OpenRe

Honest question. Why do we always need to opt out of something that we may or may not have signed up? Shouldn't these organizations be asking us to opt in? I'm beginning to think more and more that we need a data privacy bill o

Our family did that in Alaska. It was campy and part of a tour but it was fun. The kids still remember it.

Especially in Arkansas. It's a really beautiful state. There is a bunch of other natural beauty to see like hot springs and cave tours. Our family has vacation in Arkansas quite a bit.

If anyone is in or around Arkansas it is a fun place to visit especially with kids. For a small price of admission you get to go onto the property and dig around in the dirt as much as you want. There are people in the area that do it as
