There have been other periods of massive layoffs. (I’ve personally witnessed 2001 and 2008) Weren’t workers disillusioned with full time work back then or has it become easier and more acceptable to freelance in the last decade? Was it perh

I agree that the 40h workweek is not technically “designed” per se but rather it’s the best confluence of factors such as keeping competition at bay, keeping society productive, making people feel useful, making life purposeful for many, et

The comment of Tyler Heaps gives a clue: “If you look at each one and how they’ve occurred, many have come from “dangerous areas” on the pitch. At AS Monaco over the last season, we looked at where and how goals were most often scored and k

The guide is ok, but I will say that nothing works better than having a problem you’re trying to solve. The rest comes naturally. I taught myself data mining (now called machine learning or data science) in a matter of months because I was

Might work wonders in being applied to air filters or disinfecting large spaces. Not sure if you could run this continuously especially when humans are around.

Completely agree. Most business data is noise and most of the signals are already discovered as simple rules and heuristics. On the other hand, if you have a strong signal in your data, even a simple algorithm like linear/logistic regr

I love Publii! Best combination of a WYSIWYG editor and static site gen. Beautiful themes and built in publishing for github pages, netlify, AWS S3, etc.

No it doesn’t. Pragmatic thinking is just another mental algorithm. You just haven’t learn any good out-of-the-box thinking algorithms. May I suggest Inside the Box? https://www.amazon.com/Inside-Box-Creativity-Breakthrough-

Gerd Gigerenzer's work and the book Simple Rules are far more efficient ways of making better decisions than reading a list of 100+ "biases" and trying to overcome them. A good intro is Risk Savvy. https://www.yout

I’ve worked with a GA implementation before which I don’t recommend if you want to own your data or if you want unsampled, detailed logs. I’ve also seen a full end to end implementation that uses server log shipping to s3, log parsing and c

Actually I don't think that the audience is the problem, I think it's the "tech friction" Do you really want to figure out how to host your own HD videos without a video platform? How to run your own email list without a

They built a pipeline that complicated for 100gb? That’s insanely over-engineered! Very typical of engineers who just want to pad their resume at the expense of unsuspecting business people. I’ve worked with single server data warehouses on
