As a consultant, sounds like my bread and butter (specialized problem, no generalized tools). For a product company, sounds like a nightmare - no one's paying you by the hour to meet their unique requirements. Thanks for sharing your s

I know some companies are using ML to do this internally - predicting staffing needs, optimizing costs, etc. It strikes me as a very individualized problem; might be hard to generalize - or the markets you could generalize too aren't t

Anecdotal, but I use Skype for Business every day without any bugs/issues, as does the rest of my company (~50 people, lots of remote workers + liberal WFH policy). When there's a rare issue, its usually a headset not working, whi

Wagon was such a great tool. Shame their acquisition took it away. Colleagues who used wagon have said good thing about http://datamillapp.com/ - which I guess is trying to be the spiritual successor to Wagon

"the worst" player might win a few hands, or even beat "the best" player due to luck. They will not be able to consistently beat a better player, especially not professional players. That's what this AI is doing. It

Confusing, especially with "Moz" being one of the bigger players in the SEO space. Google "moz://a", you're going to get mostly stuff about Moz. Good luck dethroning an industry leader in SEO at... SEO.

Its safe to assume that anything that happened since the election will be claimed by Trump. Regardless of whether he or his administration have the slightest thing to do with it. All jobs created in the next 4 years will be because of Trump

Nailed it with the two types of people. In my experience, a lot of it came down to how people approached the program. It was either: "I have n weeks to learn as much as I can in order to catch up and be competitive with people with for

Linear regression is dope. As a data scientist, I often walk new clients through a linear regression exercise to convey some key concepts about the engagement and demystify what I'll be doing for them. I'm often dealing with peopl

Ugh, indeed.com data. Was not a great place to find data science jobs during my last job hunt, but that might just be personal experience. Beyond that, wouldn't there be some bias - in that the jobs that don't get good candidates
