@shoha99 Welcome to the bay!!

@therriaultphd I ended up doing all three of those during my PhD. My advisor always preached that ‘right now is as good a time as any’ and backed that up by actually being supportive when I needed it.
That said, had I been on this ‘path’ sooner -> likely no PhD in the US. Life is interesting.

@xamat @denisparra @ATT Customer service or customer retention though?

@therriaultphd Chateau Therriault has a nice ring to it 👍

Midden-Delfland is one of nine "green buffers" enacted by the national government in 1958 to prevent Dutch towns and cities from sprawling into one another.

This 50 square kilometer zone between Delft and Rotterdam is protected for agricultural, ecological, and recreational use.

@vikramblings Noise complaint yet?

[Martijn de Jongh @detinusj]

@vikramblings That's the harder one :-) Have thought about it, but never done it. Did a quick search and found this: https://t.co/4TLCGNK6uS
That uses google data to figure out driving times. I expect this approach can be adapted to show distances instead.

[Martijn de Jongh @detinusj]

@vikramblings Are we talking distance like ‘the crow flies’ or distance ‘driving on a street’?

@rajivjk @caranha Mine always argued that the title of a paper should be “The butler did it with a knife in the kitchen” No surprises.

A great opportunity for anyone who has been out of the workforce for the last 2+ years.

@pdudders @observablehq @nytimes Choropleth has its own limitations of course, among them, a lot of empty land that now catches your eye..

[Martijn de Jongh @detinusj]

@pdudders @observablehq @nytimes 3. Same as 2 but with discretized percentages (in 3 groups). Could have gone for a quantile plot, but don't think that would have added much more (we would have had 4 equal groups though)

[Martijn de Jongh @detinusj]

@vikramblings @souravc83 I do this. Works well for me :-)
