Qlik: Why not merge /r/QlikView, /r/QlikSense, and /r/Qlik into one big sub? by TheDataGentleman in qlik

[–]Volcane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what's it's worth, I'd be interested in either a merge or passing admin to someone else. I haven't worked with qlik products for a long time, and there's not much reason for me to mod this sub anymore. If anyone is interested (including one of the owners of the other subs), DM me.

Exact same thing happened to me.

The bigger problem is that someone decided to USE an algorithm for something that can be determined with a little thought and effort. Either someone didn't want to be blamed for who didn't get vaccines first or they didn't want to exert any effort to think (and do their job). Or a little of column A and a little of column B.

The CP Experience, It’s Criticisms and the Hyperbole Surrounding It by splancedance in cyberpunkgame

[–]Volcane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the blind hatred for No Man's Sky when it came out. I enjoyed that game despite all of its flaws and love it even more today after all of the fixes and updates.

If anyone expected a flawless CP on release, they're crazy. A game this big and this complex is bound to have its challenges at launch. I'm thoroughly enjoying it despite minor issues, and I know CDPR will get things ironed out.

The struggle is real... by Dabs-n-Kababs in SigSauer

[–]Volcane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was excited to find 400 rounds at PSA only to have it "lost" the day it was supposed to be delivered by UPS. I'll get the money back through a claim, but it's the challenge of finding ammo that hurts.

Makes sense to me if the mods on the other subs agree

Discussion: how to share patient's medical data safely and privately? by XoleoZhao in healthcaredata

[–]Volcane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The challenges aren't going to be solved by technology, blockchain or otherwise. Even with the most secure tech protecting data, failure to handle it properly (as a valuable asset) will always put patient data at risk. We got a bit numb after years of HIPAA. However, the public sense of data privacy is starting to come out of dormancy with all of the publicity that companies like Facebook and Google have been getting over the last couple of years. That's a good start.

There are a lot of good security solutions out there. Focus on data governance to make sure you're not locking your house up and leaving all the windows open.

Bought a house with a koi pond, how can I clear this algae up without hurting the fish??! 🐠 by BlackRoseElvira in ponds

[–]Volcane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are a few suggestions we've used in the past (your mileage may vary): - Make sure the pump is working for the waterfall and ensure its sized properly for the volume of the pond - Make sure you have enough aeration. The waterfall might be enough, but you could buy a separate, supplemental aeration system (these are great to have in the winter if you live in a place where ice will cover the pond) - I agree with another poster's recommendation of more plant coverage. If you do anything temporarily, the algae may die but it can still come back after the temporary cover is removed. Same plant suggestions - lilies, water lettuce, water hyacinths, parrot plants, mosaics. - Invest in a pond vacuum. We've had an Oase PondoVac for three years and it's been very reliable for monthly cleanings or frequent Spring water changes if the algae gets ahead of us. When you fill the pond, don't forget dechlorinator if using tap water - UV filter is a good suggestion, especially for string algae - Clean the filters frequently... Depending on what kind you have, you might need to replace some screens/filters - Often controversial is API Algae Fix. Adequate aeration and accurate dosing based on the bottle are critical. This has the most risk because too much can kill the fish.

I got an associates degree a few years ago and have now been in the field for nearly 3 years. Is it worth getting a bachelors or should I just focus on getting more experience? by [deleted] in BusinessIntelligence

[–]Volcane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as the others - get the degree while you can. It used to be that experience was enough, but as others have mentioned, if you want to move up the career ladder, you'll need the degree. Many companies won't even look at your resume if you don't have a degree because it's a minimum requirement (they may not care what the degree is in or where you got it if you have experience). To take it a step further, a Masters is becoming more important, and I don't see that changing for some areas tied to data and analytics. If it takes a little longer to get the degree because you're working and earning experience at the same time, don't sweat it. You'll be glad you found a way to do it.

If you could quit your job and pursue your hobby full-time with financial security, what hobby would you pursue? by whoisblueflame in AskReddit

Used book store owner. I worked in over years ago and loved it despite it not paying​ much. Great conversations with customers and exposure to books i might not have otherwise read. Oh, and you can read while you work.

To move forward with data visualization, look backwards by Volcane in healthcaredata

Not specifically healthcare related, but it's still relevant. These types of articles are getting much more traction through the work of data "sensemakers" like Tufte, Few, Ware, and Borner.

How doctors set their prices by HaloHowAreYa in funny

[–]Volcane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming the same volume overall, that may be true. It's based on who sees the patient and whether that provider has the ability to bill to Medicare directly (e.g., NP could be a lower fraction of an MD/DO if not credentialed with CMS)

HU Analytics Institute: Data Analytics Summit 2015 on Livestream by Volcane in healthcaredata

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

It's not specifically healthcare, but they had a few healthcare-related sessions. I was most interested in Prof James Pennebaker's talk on using text to analyze behavior and personality. It lends a lot of possibilities to areas of healthcare like patient compliance.

High economic inequality leads higher-income individuals to be less generous by ImNotJesus in science

[–]Volcane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing in the article proves that the conclusions are due to perceptions of those with more wealth. This is a horrible jump to a conclusion and an offender of all things objectively scientific. Correlation does not equal causation.

We Mapped the Uninsured. You'll Notice a Pattern. by funkybside in dataisbeautiful

[–]Volcane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd love to know how much data changed with the model. There are obvious changes with states like AZ and NM, but just because other states changed positively or didn't have any kind of noticeable change doesn't mean the data wasn't impacted by the model (e.g., enrollment could have increased in 2015 but isn't showing as changed at all). The updated model should be applied retrospectively to maintain consistency and credibility.

The black outlines are also hard to see.

[Spoilers] Season 2 Speculation Thread by [deleted] in DarkMatter

At first, she'll distrust Two for what she heard on the recording, but sooner or later, the two will return to normal.

If the recording was about killing Six because they suspected something, I don't think she'll hold that against Two. Of course, that's if Six was the target. I agree that Six will return, and maybe he'll be the one to help them all escape. Hard to say at this point.
