Could you allow us to view results without making an account? I was going through the process until you asked me to make an account and/or link to social network. I need to see proof of usefulness before taking that step. At least a view of

The macroscopic problem that SAP works on is collaboration within large organizations. How to make processes more efficient while reducing bureaucracy. I'm not saying they're doing a good job of it, but that's the task. It's a big, very int

For those of you who believe that the incident described is not not one of sexism: the author's purpose is to describe an incident and explain to you that it is, in fact, sexism. Her goal is that you watch yourself more closely that you do

Depends on what you're trying to do. If the technical skills you acquire with the degree are useful for the business, then of course yes. If not, then of course not. You should also be aware that not all masters degree classes will be relev

Measuring the effect of education is one of the most difficult econometrics tasks due to the way that most societies pursue education -- one year at a time until you're done with it. There's not enough variation.... I was about to launch in

Reminds me of a company I worked for back in the dot-com boom days. MostChoice.com planned on being some sort of meta insurance company, but that failed and the hundreds of pages of content they'd generated about insurance and financial pla

If your ads aren't showing up for certain word choices, you might want to rethink the type of words you're using to ensure that Google knows your content is appropriate.

Every large organization has departments that overlap and duplicate. The problem is when there is a gap that no one is working on.

It also sounds like the filter is more about money. If you have expensive hobbies, you probably can relate to other wealthy people. Consulting firms in particular are looking for people that can "build relationships" with clients.

As an employee of a big consulting firm, I'll second that. How and who you present your ideas to is much more important than the ideas themselves.

Could you explain that a little more? I'm not disagreeing, but I'm not sure I understand what's so vital about preventing people from reading the data on my hard drive after they've confiscated it.

Au contraire, the issue is exactly that the use of profanity is "weak" word choice. The article challenges those of us trying to create strong presentations to choose stronger words.

Be careful. I once thought that the MBA degree was worthless, too. However I recently found that a friend of mine is earning 30% more than me at the same job, same company, because she has an MBA and I chose to get an MS Economics. We were

I'm not (yet) a highly paid consultant in this area, but I still don't think it's worth my time to participate in most of these Kaggle contests. Even the $3 million prize for the healthcare prediction isn't worth it if you think you have a

Conversely, I've decided that automobile drivers just don't belong on the roads. It truly is worse for everyone involved--health of the driver, safety of everyone around them, health of the community, etc. The economic growth issues are als

I am a biker that is angry at drivers doing 65 in a 60. It's bad for gas mileage (and thus hurts me indirectly through climate change and trade deficits), it's bad for safety (and thus hurts me indirectly through costs of government service

I've had that same experience -- that people exclaim how certain CEOs are so incredibly brilliant ("cerebral" was one comment that stuck in my memory), but when you meet them they just seem like any other smart person who has studied a doma

Many immigrants tell me that they came to the US because of all the wonderful movies they watched. TV probably plays a large role as well, now.

That "isValid(x)" line is my favorite as well. I'm sure discovering these bizarre side-effects has taken days (weeks, months?) of all our lives.

As I read it, they examined 130 different time series. The article did not say how many observations were in the sample for each time series.

I'm dubious. How is it possible to separate the demand generated by marketing/brand from the demand generated from non-marketing/brand characteristics of products? In many cases, the brand IS the product.
