heyhihello··on Interactive course about “everyday” data science
To be honest I’m just bot willing to spend money on another product of yours.

This especially if it’s a rehash of the same material (which maybe you missed in my previous comment, but I didn’t find to be high-quality).

I actually bought your book on Amazon and the book I received was insanely disappointing. Full of typo’s, super wonky formatting, super short in depth and content, and the paper book was the lowest quality of any I’ve ever received from Amazon.

I didn’t leave a review because There weren’t many and I didn’t want to sour your sales with a 1-star, but I now kind of regret that.

The course looks cool, but it honestly just feels like a monetizing attempt on something that really didn’t deserve much money to begin with.

heyhihello··on Coinbase employees petition to remove execs
Love to see it.

Execs often hold too much power in tech companies, and I’ve worked enough to see how condescending they can be to people even just 1-2 levels below them.

If the choice is between many the of employees that are actually building the company and a few bad execs, it seems easy to me.

Agree on poor TDS quality.

You should check out Amazon’s MLU’s interactives - they’re like mini nyt articles on different algorithms:

heyhihello··on Putin may be planning to pummel Kyiv into submission
This.

In Vietnam, Americans (a small minority) collected ears of those they killed. The Viet Cong held barrels with rats to stomachs and burned the other end, forcing rats to eat through stomachs.

In Rwanda, neighbors killed neighbors with their bare hands.

In World War 2, +150,000 civilians were wiped instantaneously.

In former Yugoslavia, neighbors lined neighbors up and executed them.

There is no war without war crimes. And as usual, it’s the citizens that suffer, rarely the elite.

It’s not as easy to leave as you think.

In the case of Palestinians especially, finding easy citizenship elsewhere is not simple.

Seeing this and “Regrets of the Dying” both on the front-page definitely adds cause for some reflection in life at the moment.
