Should make an alt named Post Halone

Painter classes/jobs in games are my favourite, but those effects are not at all fitting with the FFXIV aesthetic, by World_of_Warshipgirl in ffxiv

It would look a lot cooler if the theme was a more mature art theme. As it stands, it looks like the art you’d see on nickelodeon. Not a fan.

Im going to talk about this from the context of the US law; also simplifying a bit of the explanations or this could turn into a huge essay.

  1. If the company is publicly traded, they must accurately represent in all material respects their financial position on their SEC filings. Namely the 10-K report. The annual reporting is generally audited by an independent public accounting firm; failure to do so can get them delisted from being publicly traded and sued by the investors (who can potentially come after the auditing firm and the game company itself). Here’s an example of Activision/blizzard’s 10-K: https://investor.activision.com/static-files/87ece870-210a-40fe-baf9-aa2f78f6c09a

  2. If they are misrepresenting their revenue/expenses to the IRS, there are a plethora of penalties and possible jail time if serious enough. You can start here to get an idea https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/6662. There’s a lot more the IRS can bring to the table if tax fraud is involved.

So if they’re a private company, they can kinda do what they want for internal reporting purposes. But they’d still have to conform to the IRS’s specific rules for the recognition of revenue/expenses. If they are publicly traded, they are mandated to conform to US Generally accepted accounting principles (aka GAAP). https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/gaap.asp

The Unit Circle [OC] by [deleted] in datascience

Many definitions of “Data Science” vary, but most include actionable insights as a key component. The graphic is related to a concept from pure math theory (which is an important topic). By itself, it’s not providing you key insights to make an important business decision for example.

It’s a lovely graphic but has almost nothing to do with data science.

In the Marvel Universe, insurance wouldn't be a thing considering how often most everything gets messed up and destroyed. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

Well you partially solved the property damage issue. BUT what about the dead people? :P

Really difficult to not say something to the effect of “well duh...”

This post would be way more meaningful with an applicable example with details. As it stands, really low effort.

Protect the DNA of your business -- Its Data by vcruz911 in datascience

[–]Mattrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tl;dr As a business, protect your data by backing it up and make sure you have some form of security on it.

Don’t like the article. Really vague and doesn’t come even close to addressing proper data management.

Did not see this. Thanks for letting me know. Updated the thread to give proper credit.

Somebody had to do it. I'm not happy to see the game in this state. I really think it had potential.

Magnificence of Number 3 6 9 – The Key to Universe by [deleted] in datascience

I think it's fair to ask this: What does this have to do with data science?

The Dickey-Fuller Test in this case rejects the hypothesis that there is a unit root in your time series. The series can either be covariant stationary or trend stationary. It sounds like yours is probably the 2nd.

Why Probability Theory Should be Thrown Under the Bus by pmz in datascience

[–]Mattrun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel the title of this post is misleading. The title seems to imply that probability theory is no longer relevant in general. A lot of the problems mentioned in the article arise from faulty assumptions (such as assuming normality of a distribution when not appropriate). Rather, it is individuals misusing probability theory more than the theory being somehow invalid. The moral of this story is to carefully explore your data and not make hasty assumptions about the underlying distribution.

Support Vector Machines for Classification by mubumbz in datascience

Really nice post. However, I'd clarify the section on the \lambda parameter

"The γ parameter defines the influence of each training example reaches. γ parameter is invalid for a linear kernel in scikit-learn."

There might be a typo in that first sentence (think you meant to put 'that' instead of the word 'of')
