    R's data analysis libraries are still far ahead of Python. Dplyr, Shiny, etc. So much stuff is still in built in R. Places where I still use R is its easy to use statistical functi…

    A better option would be to employ more people in the sciences. There is still a lot to be discovered and labs I have worked in have a range of work to be done from the low skilled…

    I am curious why we don't focus more efforts on Titan, which already has a thick nitrogen atmosphere.

    Sure. Basically started off there working with analysis teams. You will be working with some very old school managers who follow a strict hierarchy. Things may seem golden for a co…
