At 17 from Caracas to Joburg, I stopped in Rio for 3 days. I bought a book. It changed me. It was my company in dark hardworking days selling beer for a living. At 21 I went to university dreaming of understanding the universe. Thanks for writing the book Stephen Hawking. RIP

One of the things I find deeply worrying about the data science community's direction is a fascination with tools for data analysis that seems to me far stronger than the community's interest in design and data collection infrastructure.

Billionaire Valley VC drools over Chinese workaholism, their absence of time for fitness or seeing their kids, disinterest in debating equality. Calls Western sensibilities to such things “antiquated”. What a fucking toad. https://t.co/B6X75piGfg

This +1000. There's a huge asymmetry in the information candidates have and people who do lots of interviews. Candidates vary hugely in skill level. A few bugs in whiteboard code is just noise. https://t.co/ALGeo0Xfv3

Enjoying reading https://t.co/WIdIIuTXwY. I especially like the Fourier Series-base curve-fitting approach. Seems more flexible than dummying out days as features.
