Thanks for writing this. I had it on my mind but am usually too lazy to write long comments. I am a data scientist and I do some ML at work that is actually core the business (Learn To Rank for an aggregator). Whenever I read some article a

Thanks for the correction. Just found this estimate 'the average tree absorbs an average of 10 kilograms, or 22 pounds, of carbon dioxide per year for the first 20 years.' My quick calculation of 1 ton of CO2 being absorbed is off

I don't really know and I've been wondering for a while. HN might be the best place to get an informed answer. Here is my reasoning. Say I give enough to plant 10 trees a month. In 10 years that's 1,200 trees. Let's say

I have been donating some money every month to an Icelandic tree planting project to offset my carbon emissions after reading an article on HN about how the Vikings cut all trees of the island. I find the numbers fascinating : > Forests

That's probably true but people were reminded that they were losing agency on their creation to businessmen. The creation was losing a bit of its soul. Nowadays most 'creations' are designed to make money from the very beginn

The idea is appealing but there is this underlying hypothesis that things that happen to the main chracter can be qualified as true or bad. I wonder what the shape of a detective story would be for instance.

My two cents : I believe that if you increase supply and allow more affordable housing in a city, it will only marginally decrease prices but will mainly attract more people to this city. I think the solution to housing cost is to make smal

It is really a matter of taste there. I love Microsoft emoji and find Facebook ones very ugly.

Maybe the executive is asking the wrong questions and puts it on the data scientist. Hint : 'Can you create a report that shows that my last decision was a success ?' is not a good question.

Thanks for the kind word. It's not the first time I have been suggested to add some audio. I am not against the idea but I'd rather focus my time on creating content. Also I believe some browser extensions such as this one can do
