I don't understand why they don't just make the "reciprocity" argument. The fact that we allow Chinese social networks in the US while they block ours doesn't pass the smell test. …

I wonder if their A/B test showed that this was somehow "solving" the "spam of spam reports" problem. It would be fairy naive but I could envision a world where they tested this ou…

Reminds me of this excerpt from an Obama interview: > When problems reached him in the White House, he said, it was because they were unsolvable. He generally was being asked to ch…

Not sure how heavily used it is, but FWIW Postmates does offer a $10/month subscription service for reduced fees/free delivery like most other food delivery services do

I’d say it’s more likely they have super advanced/clever ways of doing the latter. The algorithm could be a simple dot product and the result could be great or terrible depending o…

Again definitely not a lawyer but I’d imagine advertising an ETF or selling a subscription to an email list based on these trades (both ideas from this thread) would be pretty clea…

Also worth reading his book "Disrupted" - the book is every bit as funny and relevant as Silicon Valley

Thanks for posting - totally worth the read to learn there's a pd.read_clipboard() function.

Not Jeremy (obviously) but having taken both versions of the course I would definitely recommend jumping into the 2018 version. The core content is the same (image recognition, rec…

Go write a couple hundred lines of R (please don't actually do this R is atrocious imo) and then you'll understand why '=' is used instead of '<-' - because it's a pain in the ass,…

Very informative and well written article about KNN classification. However, as a data scientist it always pains me to see the iris data set being used. It is linearly separable an…

I disagree with the analysis of this article. In a typical machine learning process, the response variable stays the same (at a distributional level) but you cycle through candidat…

I used to laugh at stuff like this, then at orientation the place I was working with said "The best way to show your personality is through your socks." I noped right out of there.…
