I think you'll find that a lot of stem people tend to lean Kantian in their ethics. This implies that misleading people for any reason -- even "for their own good" -- is frowned upon.
He did say marketing, sales and PR but your point still stands.

#244Thinking back to successful ERP implementations, little was more useful during go-live or an ongoing basis than a script that ran every hour/day/week/month to look for a condition and report it.
In one case, over a 3 year period where the organization grew from 0 to 60 million per year, every data issue was logged as a ticket, investigated, where needed, a Sql script written to monitor other occurrences, and ultimately, if there was a need to action, it would be forwarded to the right destination with a link to instructions on how to resolve or investigate if a decision could not be programmatically made.
The power of this was users received direct and immediate feedback anytime they wanted if their work was good and compliant with the system and process.
How did the list of scripts to build get made? Every time the system behaved correctly or incorrectly, and needed attention, whether due to data being incomplete, mis-entered, or correct and ready for the next step, the technology was busy working for the users.
Scripts reduced concerns that issues were being missed. Once something had happened and it was important enough, a custom insight could be built. It helped build a data driven culture instead of hoping the computer picked the right thing.
Sql scripts could one day feed into or fit with AI/ML. I don't see that day here in the short term.

#245My startup was approached by a corporate VC that wanted to make a strategic investment. Based on the attendee list from our meeting, which included very high up folks from the company, I felt good going in.

So, I went to the page, clicked the button for the Firefox extension, and was greeted with this page: https://s.mort.coffee/d/img/scr-4494758.png You should probably link to the add-on page ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/beelinereader... ) instead of directly to the .xpi file. I would never accept to install a plug-in from a random link even if it hadn't been for the dialog's scary language.

...minus the ones which are obviously a toaster, while the AI insists they're you and your wife sitting in a boat ;) Now what?
Well, yes, it's not perfect yet, but then I'm pretty sure SQL Queries won't fare any better here ;). Google photos does quite a decent job for me in many cases.

Appreciate the feedback. We recently redesigned the website to offer silos, and one of the goals was to make the landing page not offer too many specifics that would make some audiences bounce. But perhaps your suggestion is just what we need to do. Thanks for taking the time to share! One lesson learned: I should have linked to the /individual page instead of the generic landing page in my comment. Updating link now…
I bounced as soon as I couldn’t find pricing information.
Things get more complicated, as the browser plugins are subscription ($2/mo or $22/yr) and the iOS app is one-time IAPs (mostly a few bucks, but more for the Kindle feature). I'm not sure how to succinctly communicate this, but you and other commenters make clear that we need to have some info here.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!

#250I almost took a "big data" data scientist job about a year ago with a local company. After talking to a number of their engineers, it became quite clear to me that instead of a data scientist, they just badly needed a DBA / someone with ownership and a complete vision of the data structure. They had no foreign keys, poorly 'designed' indexes, and tons of redundant tables with no rhyme or reason to them. They'd organi…
I'll bet they found they got 10 times more applicants for a data scientist role as opposed to a dba/sql/data engineer.
