@nytopinion You currently have 14 job openings requiring a college degree, including an executive assistant position https://t.co/QwYu8cbnzJ

[Wesley Tansey @wesleytansey]

Also 5 of their 8 internships are only open to currently enrolled undergraduate students. How are people supposed to get this "equivalent work experience" if you don't even let entry-level people in unless they're in college?

[Wesley Tansey @wesleytansey]

The @nytimes editorial board chastised companies for degree requirements instead of experience-based hiring today. The NYT has 99 job openings. 2 require a MS, 12 require BS/BA, 6 explicitly prefer a BS/BA, 6 count it as experience. https://t.co/QwYu8cbnzJ

First paper from our lab is out! BayesTME, an end-to-end spatial transcriptomics method that outperforms every other method on benchmarks, doesn't need scRNA, and discovers within-phenotype spatially varying genes + spatial programs. https://t.co/FUxPVGvF7W

@TurkeyHillDairy Sad day. my batch of mint choco chip had virtually no chocolate. :(

@RealAAAI The link to one of our papers from AAAI-18 is broken and doesn't seem to be discoverable anywhere https://t.co/df32ARNOGN

Nobody:

Ribosome: let me go ahead and transcribe this

Macrophage: Yo, check out this cool spike I found

T-cell: wtf is that? Get rid of it. Where’s Bob?

B-cell: yes?

T-cell: If it ever shows up here again...

B-cell: yes mam

@TJoesOfficial you cancelled the light ice creams... i bought 7 pints a week and it wasn't enough. you are dead to me.

[Wesley Tansey @wesleytansey]

@zacharylipton @Google @sundarpichai @WittedNote @JeffDean Also sad:

[Wesley Tansey @wesleytansey]

@RealAAAI Seems like all the AAAI 2018 paper links are broken.

@TJoes_Official Will there ever be a mint chocolate chip version of the low-cal ice cream?

[Wesley Tansey @wesleytansey]

But it goes beyond that. It's just pure math. There are 4 calories per gram of carbs, 4 per protein, 9 per fat. If you do the math on that, your calories per serving don't match the carb/protein/fat amounts.

[Wesley Tansey @wesleytansey]

@LotusScoop Pretty sure your nutritional info on your pints is wrong. There is no way that each serving has 28g of dietary fiber. Also 4 cals per carb * 65g carbs = 260 cals, which is already more than your 250 cals / serving at the top.

[Wesley Tansey @wesleytansey]

@LotusScoop I was looking at both sweet potato banana caramel and mint fudge Oreo. Both have the same nutrition labels. A sweet potato has 27g of carbs with only 4g of fiber. There is just no way to get 28g of fiber from the ingredients, especially a 1:3 fiber:carb ratio.

[Wesley Tansey @wesleytansey]

@TurkeyHillDairy There definitely was a lot more mint and lot less chocolate in the most recent one I purchased. I hope it was just a fluke!

[Wesley Tansey @wesleytansey]

@TurkeyHillDairy I cannot believe you changed mint choco chip. You've ruined the best ice cream on the planet. :(
