In addition to what other commenters have written, you also have the problem that your inputs aren't clean or straightforward. People don't always answer fully truthfully, and sometimes give extraneous information that's not

That's not a new strategy. Car2Go had the same problem. I had multiple incidents where I'd reserve a car, only to go find that it was parked in someone's garage.

I have some friends with knowledge of companies that are rated as a "best place to work" by Glassdoor. The companies heavily promote their achievement on social media and during recruiting. My friends tell me about the shocking

I totally agree, and wasn't arguing that a new title wasn't necessary. And I'm ok with my downvotes for that comment :) It's just funny that "Data Scientist" seemed to be originally branded as the more technic

I love that "Data Scientist" has become such an inflated and meaningless title that now we have "Machine Learning Engineer".

Along 101 there's definitely a lot of strip malls behind a row of tress - that's basically what Corte Madera and parts of Strawberry are. However, 35% of Marin is preserved open space, and that doesn't include the Marin Agri

Folks prescribed Metformin in medicare data would more than likely be taking it as treatment for diabetes. That's a fundamentally different population than healthy people taking it for longevity. It also limits you to outcomes measur

I got a call from an external recruiter: "I have a candidate who would be a great fit for your company." I'm just a lowly data scientist with no hiring power, and at that job the entire data science team was quitting. So, I

I think it's starting to feel like "suddenly whales!" in the SF Bay Area this year too. We've had something like 8 dead whales wash up in the past month or two, and many are thought to have died from boat strikes. Ther

I think this idea of explicitly stating corporate values is relatively new, but maybe there's a longer history there than I'm giving credit. I definitely hear you that a company can have implicit values, and that's going to

Thanks for sharing! This seems like a good general guide on how to manage :) I would just provide a quick caution against over-indexing on culture. There are two issues that can come up: implicit bias, and conflicting values. Implicit bia

In my experience working as a data scientist in the health tech field for the past decade (as an "epidemiologist" and "health informaticist" before "data scientist" was a title), I've found folks who just

I've worked for a few startups that have had a cult-like following, and it's never gone well. If you gave notice, you immediately got the cold shoulder from all of the execs - to the point that there weren't officially sanct

Volunteer. Find something that's not technical but you could see yourself enjoying, and commit to doing it once a week for 6 months. Serving food at a homeless shelter, taking care of animals at the humane society, picking up trash i

The first that comes to mind is the Federal Trade Commission Act, which allows the FTC to charge companies which fail to protect consumer personal data.

That's not to say there may not be other laws that govern how you protect a user's data though.

Glucose is part of the kreb's cycle; sucrose (table sugar) is made up of glucose and fructose. The metabolism of fructose is much more complicated, and ends up producing byproducts that can be linked back to metabolic syndrome. The d

I’m not sure we read the same article. I didn’t hear the author claim anybody should be traveling, including her. I read it as traveling ruins the things that you’re traveling to see, and that everyone should focus more effort on staying

Our body functions predominantly on ATP, not on glucose or fructose or fat or protein. ATP gets generated from those other macromolecules in pretty complicated biochemistry. You're definitely right that thermodynamics governs everyth

This is an article making baseless generalizations that all data science is failing in Silicon Valley, and that the true need of a company is to hire a "data strategist." Unsurprisingly, the article is written by a self-proclaime

I've been on both sides of this situation. My ex unexpectedly landed his dream job at one of the big tech companies. We had been together for around a year, and were looking at buying a house together. Using the "L" word, m
