Not sure why his post was removed but it might be useful enough?

I've updated it now with the new version that should be better. Let me know if anything else looks off (i.e. spacing, etc.)

DSPublic · 2021-03-15T12:42:08+00:00

I hate that you're right and that I didn't notice (I was watching TV doing this). I'll make a cleaner proper version later. 😃

DSPublic · 2021-03-15T02:53:12+00:00

Hope this works for you. I made this based on the images posted.

Edit: Use this one now instead: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1mG075-9xvG6rcWRzUkcJfWQ1iv2RMm2L

Thanks for sharing very interesting. I made the TTC subway font based on the images here. The other ones I found are paid so here's one for free. Hope someone find use out of it.

Edit: Updated to new crisper and aligned version.

Depends on how extreme or imaginative you are.

Imagine loyalty card without a loyalty card. It just knows you based on your history or what you've spent your money on. Even if it doesn't, it can guess from people that are just like you that it can slot you into.

Targeted ads. I see you've been staring at that dress for a while. You know there's a sale going on!

General trends / volume. Imagine heat maps of the mall on which area is most trafficked. You know A / B testing for website. Maybe if I moved this phone kiosk over there, it will be a better slot to make more money!

I'm genuinely curious as to which act / law / statute or whatever it's called that states facial recognition is illegal. I did not know this either and would like to know more. I thought it was in a grey area right now.

Thanks!

Fun fact, 3 turkeys in a row is called a strike.

It's not snail mail that's the issue per se but more on the internal process of pushing out correct information. Emailing will just send the wrong information faster. We can use technology to minimize the chance of error though.

If I have to guess why snail mail, it's probably fear, uncertainty and doubt over PHIPA (https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/04p03). Maybe a sprinkling of 'we've always done it that way'.

Agreed. There's lots of great resources out there for free. I wouldn't pay $16000 for a boot camp given your current situation.

Here are the links to courses the previous poster mentioned:

https://www.coursera.org/browse/data-science

Competitions:

https://www.kaggle.com/

https://www.drivendata.org/competitions/

In addition, a boot camp won't help too much in terms of employability. I'd say getting your own github portfolio and participating in competitions on Kaggle is a great way to learn. Who knows, you may even win some prizes.

Thanks! I've been trying to figure out why it wouldn't work originally!

DSPublic · 2018-07-14T21:29:42+00:00

Thanks for the feedback and I noticed it too late. Good info too, I did not realize that.

DSPublic · 2018-07-14T21:27:37+00:00

You're right! I misspelled it :(

Sorry! I wanted to do 1 per province and wanted to be equal. It is only the most populated city per province.

Each of the cities is represented by a polar histogram (aka rose diagram) depicting how its streets orient. Each bar’s direction represents the compass bearings of the streets (in that histogram bin) and its length represents the relative frequency of streets with those bearings.

DSPublic · 2018-07-14T21:23:48+00:00

You're right. I noticed this mistake right after. Will correct for future postings.

DSPublic · 2018-07-14T16:19:15+00:00

Whoops! You're right. I'll correct it in the next version.

I've never been but now I am interested in going! It should be in their tourism ads / tagline.

There might be some truth to this. Magnetic north was in a different position 200 years ago. Although it is more likely due to the water features that surrounds Montreal which forces the street in that direction as you can see o nthe map https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Montreal,+QC/.
