NYC's subway may be much older, but I find it much more effective. Something Beijing lacks are express lines. If you need to travel the length of Manhattan in the middle of a workd…

working on something similar for chicago with a bit less load time: citypulse.io

it is an interesting effect, but I don't see how it will ever add anything to the experience for either the writer or the reader. I guess you are supposed to imagine yourself watch…

The one possible exception to the rule outlined in this piece is probably Xiaomi. They have successfully cornered a really meaningful market, specifically middle class Chinese that…

I got to Scroogled.com and thought it was some anti-google site cobbled together by a cranky blogger out looking for some corporate interest representing 'the man' to pick on. I ca…

Computers are now part of basic literacy and ensuring all students have consistent access to them should be an absolute top priority for all school districts. If we can get student…

I don't understand your logic, or what democracy has to do with the matter. I am no expert on India, but I spent enough time there to observe a clear and disturbing trend in male b…

having recently traveled in India for three weeks, I heard remarkably similar accounts all too frequently from groups of women travelers. Even as a man, I was approached for sex se…

thanks for the detailed response. I know very little about the actual application of data science, so it nice to hear the thoughts on the feasibility of this from someone who does.…

haha. great reply. I knew it was out there somewhere.

Given the success of well run hacker schools like Dev Bootcamp and Flatiron Schools, I am surprised no one has yet tried to apply that model to training data scientists. It seems l…

more than likely a big part of his motivation, but considering how bad an investment the current plan is, it is very prudent.
