- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 2 weeks ago:
Behind the bastards podcast did a four-part series on just how big of a piece of shit Steve Jobs was. We all knew that, but what I didn’t know especially was just how fucking stupid a lot of his business decisions were, coming from his enormous hubris.

The amount of inefficiencies in the healthcare system is staggering. Like, you almost wouldn’t believe it kind of staggering. I can’t go into much detail without doxing myself, but it’s bad.

Data scientist here! What you have discovered is what’s known in data analytics as a semi-additive measure. Instead of summing the spend column, you would count it, and get a measure that showed how many transactions took place, but not a balance.

Data scientist here! In addition to the data points others have mentioned, there is actually a lot more data available than you would think in the form of metadata. How long you spend in the app, how long you stay on a screen before changing, how long you view a TikTok before swiping, which of the default settings you change, into what, all of this is used in machine learning models to help build a more accurate advertiser profile for you.
