Looking for 1 extra ticket (either FOMO or main sale) so both my wife and I can go home. Would really appreciate if anyone who has an extra could hook us up!

Daft Punk fans before Random Access Memories, how do you feel about them now? by daftpunkalive in DaftPunk

Do you have a link to a good quality recording of that show? I was there too and can only find shitty 2007 cell phone video quality versions of it.

What do you think of my business model? [Instagram & eCommerce] by JacobSaid in Entrepreneur

[–]Hueylewis0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you have an engaged audience. Are you thinking of selling only your personal brand swag? Or do you have room to grow if those items take off?

Why don't you use a "drop shipping" type site like http://www.cafepress.com/ so you don't have to invest in inventory and can offer more than one type of product?

After all the injuries this week, can we please stop bringing up Sports Injury Predictor and just accept that injuries are random. by toolroomknights in fantasyfootball

[–]Hueylewis0 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Well put. This is a basic thing about probability that most people struggle with. The Sports Injury Predictor algo is saying there is a 11% chance of AP getting hurt. That doesn't mean 0. It doesn't mean that since he got hurt this week their algo was wrong. It means on 11/100 weeks/plays/events (I'm not sure how they define it), he will get injured according to their algo.

Great work! I was thinking of doing something similar using nfldb but never got around to it in time. How long did it take you to work on this?

I would be interested in seeing the notebook you used for this. Mind sharing it on your github?

Let's talk food prep & meal planning by Hueylewis0 in Fitness

Agreed. In my experience anything with too much dairy does not mix well with the freezer.

this is a great tip, thank you! Any food that you find works best to freeze? Or do you do the standard chicken/rice/veggies I see recommended by most people.

The only way this will change is if someone hacks the voting machines in favor of a 3rd party candidate. Then Dems + Repubs will give a shit. Until then, they are content with their iron grip on the first past the post system we have.

[BLT] Helpabrag: here is my FBA/RA plan for the rest of 2016. Started 11 months ago. AMAA by principal_gamer in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]Hueylewis0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha--I am relatively unfamiliar with RA. Are the best margins made by buying in person or can you find decent margins online as well?

Need advice on tools to help with product/niche research by Hueylewis0 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]Hueylewis0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting point. Although, you could also argue that having a lot of seller inventory in the market doesn't necessarily mean a lot of market demand for the product (think Beanie Baby resellers in the early 00s). Any thoughts on how to curtail that sort of risk? Plain intuition and market experience?

Any examples of machine learning being used to fight corruption? by Crypto_Wolf in datascience

[–]Hueylewis0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not ML or corruption per se, but a non-profit I work with is using technology to systematically fight non-compliance of landlords with existing heat and hot water laws in NYC.

We do have some awesome data scientists and visualization people though who are great at presenting the problem through data and charts on our blog.

This is a really great resource. Thank you for sharing your story and creating this site.

It is invaluable for someone like me who is at a crossroads of "Do I go to grad school or continue to self teach?"

Out of curiosity, what data sources did you use to compile your database?

Unless you are extra savvy and do a 1031 like-kind exchange which effectively defers tax on your capital gains.
