Perhaps my previous ban was deserved. This is surely not. Hackernews and Ycombinator have made it very clear that they are a conduit for leftist ideas and there is no place for differing opinions.
Now I understand how so many people hate you so much that they had to turn to Trump, LePen, Farage.
All of these databases kick the crap out of HN darlings like Redshift and BigQuery. Special mention goes to Vertica which is free up to three nodes and/or 1TB data + 1 TB in flex tables. It is, like the rest, analytical AND transactional. Has proper admin features, proper edge case coverage and a truck load of features. It also has a very sensible licensing.
American embargo was put in place because the US can't afford communist fools on its border. Simple. You swing at the big guy and you lose. That is war. Mistakes are unforgivable.
That's how you keep power and that's why you have such a high standard of living. You think it's because you work hard but it's not. At least not primarily.
I'll take doubling the life expectancy of people China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, other Asian counties, as well as most of Africa as a "concession". Thank you very much!
I like the quote but the irony is just too big for me.
Statistics in Plain English.
Data Analysis Using Regression by Gelman
Introduction/Elements of Statistical Learning by Jerome Friedman. I recommend reading the Introduction and using the bigger book as a reference material when tackling a problem.
Bayesian Data Analysis, 3rd edition by Gelman.
You need calc 1 & 2 and matrix algebra somewhere along the way.
Lots of papers, googling and doing. That's when you got the basics covered. You start being "operational" after Data Analysis Using Regression.
When you start working on a problem, you need to go through the relevant literature first. Nobody ix expert or even half-good in more than 2 or 3 (small) areas of statistics. Read the literature, take notes and create a plan first.
That is actually very interesting analogy! And when I think about my facebook browsing habits, it only makes sense. Of course it has a flow an rhythm. Something interesting I engage with, a bunch of filler I scroll through, another interesting post. If all that is interesting to me is crammed into the top of the page, that would drop the metrics. Less vertical space used, less ads, less time on site (biggie with investors, I'm sure). Probably get fatigued much faster too. Consume even less interesting stuff than the "long format". I wonder if it is really beneficial (at least to them) in the long term or it is one of those things not worth maximizing (metrics vs. reasons [1]).
Do you have any interesting reading/watching/listening material from your old jobs? What are you up to these days?

PS: I'm at the other way of the world, if that makes a difference.
This can be said about decadence also!
“Karma is the beginning of knowledge. Next is patience. Patience is very important. The strong are the patient ones, Anjin-san. patience means holding back your inclination to the seven emotions: hate, adoration, joy, anxiety, anger, grief, fear. If you don't give way to the seven, you're patient, then you'll soon understand all manner of things and be in harmony with Eternity.”
I don't know about that. Going further, majority of the spend is going to come from established businesses. They need software and not just infrastructure. And msft has those accounts. Has the reseller network. Has the software. I really can't think of any good b2b/productivity software that google wrote. Probably they haven't tried, but looking at what they announced last - data studio, survey and optimize - the talk was like they were super serious about it. The result is very, very far from the competition.
