Well does the R df$colname behave like panda df.colname or is it like df[“colname”] which opens up a whole new layer where it can be df[var]? And there’s a ton of helpful things like dict unpacking of named aggs for groups bys. The dictiona

I’m one of them, but as long as the jobs are good I don’t see a problem. Colleges aren’t trade schools, their purposes are different.

This is a repost from two days ago. why? I commented a bit late on the earlier one so I’ll repeat myself here. These comparisons feel like they are geared to analysts, not programming oriented data scientists. Which is fine, I suppose. ——-

This is fine and all, (although I’m not impressed by the quality of the python code), but the examples don’t show how to do meta programming. I often dont want to manually write out column names, but programmatically specify them, and simil

I don’t really agree with assuming the form of physical attachment and interaction unless it is spelled out. If that’s what’s meant it will be stated in some fine print, if it’s not stated anywhere then there is no guarantee what the term m

Part A of the comment is saying debt is a money multiplier up to 100x. One break in The chain erases the 100x of money. Part B is then saying that if the debt chains collapse, erasing massive amounts of money, partially backfilling people v

It would not take just 15 minutes by car, it would take another ten to park, but also if one person takes their car, how can they ask other people not to as well. It will take 30 minutes to driver now, and there won’t be parking as everyone

Except there’s a lot of services that are unsuited to being delivered by competitive markets as it’s nearly impossible to prevent monopolization.

To clarify, the example is purely to highlight the pointlessness of asking such direct competitors for a meaningful evaluation of the others product. It does not intended to mean Pepsi and coke companies are similar to Apple vs Facebook. An

Yeah that was an interesting weasel word. It raised a lot of questions.

Esp if one considers it’s the same argument cops make when trying to suppress incriminating police shooting footage.

by mint2 3y ago
Sounds like the same argument bad cops claim after questionable police shootings Public trust requires building it first. As one of the first instances of a waymo crash, yes the public needs to see it. If after reading the footage in the fi

Isn’t that rather splitting hairs as they’d have equivalent degrees?

Errr the pandemic profitability and refund was extremely abnormal. It was due to the lockdown where essentially no one drove for several months and then there was reduced driving for a year is so. The refunds were also not done willingly, t

Don’t beat yourself up over it. But also, post the learnings not just the mistake without the context only for both of them to come out later after people point them out.

You may have done some, but you can negotiate with the insurance company and either seek legal help or file a protest with the department of insurance if they are not in good faith servicing your claim.

Driving risk is in a large part driving by driving behavior which is a characteristic that is under control of the individual. Monitoring that directly and pricing on it is far more fair than pricing on correlated hard to change attributes

Btw, Outside California Many companies price cheaper if the insurance start date is X days after the purchase date. X is more than 1.

How many miles do you drive and what cars do you have? Do you mean four cars?! What cars.

That’s a big oversimplification of what people were worried about during the prior years. While taking substantial precautions to limit the spread there was that many deaths and hospitals were on the brink of collapse. More spread would hav

More like 95% of people have caught covid and are vaxxed so at this point they’re just not interested in letting it dictate their lives. Much different place this year in terms of immunity and exasperation than prior years. No grand conspir

To recap: “We avoid designing and selling EVs and thus not many were sold by us. We only offer the crappy one that had wheels falling off. This is proof people need gas cars.” Toyota logic is painful. It’s gas lighting… which makes sense gi

It’s interesting for people who live at sea level but do a lot of mountain activities on weekends. High elevation seems to have a big effect on blood oxygen but does vary person to person. It’s interesting to see one’s own response. I get w

Again, local control wrecked housing. Constituents, city council whatever doesn’t matter, what type of local control. It wrecked housing. Unless one contends that there is no housing crises, then it’s not up for debate that local control go

I don’t know about that, gray in houses exudes a feel of cheapness. If I see gray and especially gray vinyl it screams budget build and corner cutting. If one looks at rental housing, like half of them have gray floors and those ones are al

Actually neutral white and blue tinged white (the most common led shade) is terrible for night vision, glare, and light pollution all due to the actual physics of light.

That’s called living in a functioning society. It means cities and people cant’t behave like selfish children and never pitch in for the group.
