Might as well be a REIT, and as its books stand, its a crappy one. I wouldn't touch wework unless it had a dividend. What their CEO has done with inside dealing should be considered fraud to investors.

I really am surprised to hear this. I'm about 250 all in and I haven't heard of many software devs pulling over 200 all-in. This is for Boston and I'm 6 years out of my undergrad with no graduate degree (although I didn&#x2

I am just going on my experience, but according to glassdoor data scientists of the same years of experience earn about 20k more than senior software engineers here in Boston.

This is an awesome analysis of the situation. Some things I have noticed as a data scientist of 4 years so far: - Increasingly, data scientist is just being used in place of senior analyst because it attracts more applications. - At the fi

I'll counter: There have been quite a few instances of FB friends like this in my life. I rarely deny a friend request or go on deleting sprees. If I meet someone doing interesting things, I'll be the requestor even. What happe

I really wish we would curb this kind of behavior. Even if this speed is related to the brokerage business and not HFT, it is unfair to retail investors that large businesses have better market access. My solution: exchanges are required

Crossing over from thinking something is one way to testing that something really is that way is certainly a line held within the purview of science. I think you are reading my statement too literally.

Well, until it has been confirmed by a study, it's not science, obvious or not. A few years ago there was a major study that proved a relationship between multiple concussions and long term brain damage. Anyone could have made the co

Yea, but what are they using to analyze your results? You literally have no idea how robust (or not) their statistical methods are. It's been my experience that 3rd party solutions are notoriously shoddy in this department. They hav

You are over-simplifying. Almost all of the metrics Facebook will feed you when you setup an account are on a view-through attribution basis. Yes, there will be some clicks, but if you attribute revenue from Facebook by clicks only, it wi

Nice page, but unless you have never used software for math before, I am not sure it's very useful.

I want to preface the statement I am about to make with another statement first: The basic economic theory, if anyone needs a refresher, is that by letting people have a temporary monopoly over an invention, they will be more-so incentivize

Federal laws and the protections/insurances a US bank provides would have you without losses right now. Why do we want a decentralized currency again?

Both rideshares subsidize about half of what they pay drivers, but their deficit is not nearly half of their total revenue. Take out the drivers, profit tomorrow. Patent good for 20 years. That's about as juicy as it ever gets.

This isn't my idea man... It's literally the reason why large investors are in Uber and Lyft. No VC's are dropping money on commodity businesses.

by tjpaudio 7y ago
Because Uber and Lyft are pure plays.

While I would agree with you, driverless tech is in fact the reason behind the valuation and balance sheet deficit. No large investors at this point think they are going to get a dividend paying profitable commodity business. *edit for gram

I'm not quite sure everyone discussing this, including the economist article author, is in the loop with why Lyft and Uber are getting valued the way they are. Wall Street is not paying for a taxi company, they are betting that Uber a

Safety bars keep you from dying if you have to bail, but bailing is still bad. Basically you want to say "take" and have the weight immediately removed. There is no use in straining yourself or risking injury on a bail; you have

Mark Rippetoe, the author, is a broken old man as a result of his methods. He is also known as a loudmouth that gets more attention than he deserves in the community. I would not recommend his methods or book. Although his book got popula

Former competitive powerlifter here. Find a team. If you search around, you are guaranteed to find some dungeon gym that has a group that trains together. It won't be a big-box gym. It will have rusty iron. This is where you want

That author fails to grasp the concept of good enough, or optimal marginal return. Subsampling is often done because you can get the level of prediction desired at a much lower cost, both in terms of hardware and employee hours. Those pro

Simple linear regression would work just fine for something rudimentary like this. This using neural nets stuff for everything lately is getting ridiculous.

I fully understand this reaction. Crypo is delivering on none of it's promises and leaving an ugly mark on the production side. Transactions are way too slow for retail, decentralization is a joke because the largest mining pools are

"Mathiness" as the author puts it is one of my main complaints of many academic papers, this is not at all limited to ML. I think we really need to get away from typical math notation and start to present the calculations as code
