This is a nice project. I think it would be great to add references used for the implementations and some tests that demonstrate they return what is expected (or perhaps the same result of sklearn maybe).

I think it's the best part. The definition is left for the student to learn.

Their data scientists will now be building features like "tried to watch a movie from a VPN IP" for their churn models. And another note: there are also people who simply do not allow comcast to filter their traffic and therefore

I tried it with my favorite, Alex Webb. It didn't break 5/10 and received solid #mess and #boring tags on all of the photos. Fun none the less.

The main finding from my perspective is that we can score and rank friendship likeliness and see signal in a hold out dataset. I can almost hear Facebook clamoring to offer free genotyping.

I see the optimization problem they face. Promote non-personal content to generate short term revenue versus promote personal content to minimize long-term churn. It looks like their data scientists and business analysts have identified sig

That's also the base salary. Yearly bonus can easily be 100% of the salary. Partners at decent firms are of course clocking ~2M or more.

Can you give some concrete examples of the benefits of wrangling in python over R and a general sense of how much time this would save a user?

This is consistent with my impression of how sales work. You sell a feature, product, capability, etc that won't be ready for at least 6 months (for example). Then you kindly encourage an engineer to build it.

I agree. The title should read 'Where Can a Ph.D. Take You? Forward to More Research, Usually' Which is the entire point getting a PhD in the first place. More research. Forever. I (along with many others) cringed at the phrasing

Allow me to make a more general conjecture: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving word_x or word_y approaches 1.

I think it's more like: made a decision about god? if yes and believe there is one then theist else if believe there isn't one then atheist. A lot of people I think don't care to form a belief one way or another. I'm not

You've highlighted one of the many advantages to browsing with javascript off by default. I think at this point it should really only be used for must-have cases.

This is a project developed by a high school senior. Yes he made rookie choices as have been pointed out here. If you like the direction of the project, contribute! It will help him learn.

600 million PC users discovered that running a lightweight unix distribution/DE and not allowing javascript made the life expectancy of their computers triple. Or so I dream.

I see Europe in the future adopting many of the (some call paranoid) security measure of Israel. For example security checks before entering all malls.

"I don't have one because of principles" is an excellent answer. It's the answer I give whenever someone asks me for anything social media related whether the context is social or professional. You may be surprised to he

The issue I see with changing so many alleles is that we may not know all of the phenotypic consequences of each allele. Moving 10,000 alleles to the best intelligence settings might make people smarter, but genes are highly pleiotropic. Mu

You're right that the author (unless I missed it) didn't say what proportion of variance in IQ is explained by additive genetic effects (narrow sense heritability) . I think a quick search would likely answer that.

This is not at all my observation. I've noticed that the uncommonly (technically-scientifically) intelligent people I've been exposed to tended to lead very socially balanced and normal lives. They have also been some of the funni

I can't see how any appliance would be required to be online for use or configuration. Even every laptop off the shelf doesn't have such a requirement. The only device I know that does is a smart phone (maybe?).

I know IoT sounds scary and privacy invasive (it is), but in reality, most of the IoT devices are not dependent on the internet. For example, my toaster, refrigerator, washing machine, dish washer, coffee machine, TV would never benefit at

Yes that may be true. Instead of trying to reproduce it, they attempt to build upon it. The projects which successfully build on previous projects become original research articles and the cycle continues.

If the work you are doing isn't reproducible, then it won't be cited as the building blocks for future work. The system is cleans itself out as a side effect. Therefore I prefer students to work on cutting edge research.

You can construct a Klein bottle using a rectangle with two edges with the same orientation and two edges with opposite orientation (K^2 is a good notation for this). Naturally identifying the same orientation edges gets you a cylinder. Whe

Do it to max out the education attribute on your char build. Plus, school is cool. In all seriousness, it's a great time to learn how to think and get comfortable thinking. That said, there are likely many other ways to achieve this.

If only there really was universal expectation of free software. Then we'd really be getting somewhere.

I'm not sure why distaste in x86 suggests one prefers pre-computing environments unless you really internalize x86 as computing, which many people don't.

Pretty good. Likely more appealing than the one I had: People in SV are less stupid.
