I believe my startup has a segment of child users and I’m wondering how much work it is to become COPPA, GDPR, and AADC compliant. I saw that Amazon and Meta have been hit with law…

Awesome! Some quick reactions: - Wish I could upload a photo instead of taking one on the spot! - Took me a little bit of time to get past the "what city are you in" screen (the se…

Thanks, anonfunction! I've corrected it

Agreed! Pandas is great but at this point instead of using logic to solve data structuring tasks I often find myself googling for an optimized built-in Pandas method to help me out…

Sure! Practically speaking, as a data analyst, I would probably notice a missing month when plotting the trend of MAU over time. (You can make "but what if a month is missing?" a l…
