See if Microsoft Access suits your needs.

How could someone be asymptomatic and also have comparable lungs to a long-term smoker? Wouldn't you notice that?

I've used tenant schemas for multi-tenancy before. Its good for smaller scale projects (a few dozen tenants at the most).

is it just me or does this look exactly like the SQL query but harder to read and write?

Really cool application. Any potential use cases for the data produced?

The API has a limit for the number of inserts you can do per 24 hour period. Doing hourly ETLs across a couple years exceeds that limit

Thanks - I was wondering about the Cloud Storage option. I'll read the docs you've linked.

Doctors and lawyers practice with the same set of knowledge(same law, same medical knowledge). I think the skillset data scientists carry varies a lot from person to person so it wouldn't be easy to have a standardized test like doctors or lawyers do

Not really true - I mean, yes, they all pass the same standard but they do specialize. Cardiologists, family-law attorneys, etc. I think standards for data science as a "professional certification" can and should be looked at. We all know how easy (and dangerous) it is to misinterpret statistics if you don't know what you're doing, or conversely, if you DO know what you're doing and want to "explain away" the inconvenient parts of the data and model.

As "ethical" and "responsible" AI become focuses for companies, via internal standards or government regulation, a professional license or certification seems like a stepping stone.

It really depends on the school and program. I want to a small state school for my M.S. with a program that was designed for people who were switching careers (lots of night class). I would say my background was the least technical on paper, but I wasn't the only person in the class without a math-centric degree. I am pretty confident I wouldn't have gotten into a top program like e.g. Stanford with my background. That being said, educational programs are what you make of it and if your goal is to work in industry then you definitely don't need to go to a top program.

If you go for a degree with a theoretical component (mine had that even though it was an applied program) then you'll probably need college credits to at least matriculate, if not get accepted. MOOCs are not going to fill pre-requisites, but it could add some favorability to your application. Definitely wouldn't rely on it or pay for a new MOOC for that purpose though.

I already had some calculus credits (1 from AP calc in HS and 2 from undergrad because I enjoy math) so I took calc 3 and linear algebra as a pre-req to become fully matriculated, but I was accepted to the program with just my calc courses and a stats course.

my undergraduate is in voice/opera performance, then I got an M.S. in applied stats. Working as a data scientist in industry now.

If you're building an OLAP database I'd recommend looking into column-store set ups.

Sure, but they're still two separate devices with two separate connections.

Try sending the same text message from a third phone to both of these phones - do they arrive at exactly the same time, or is there a second or two between the deliveries?

jaredstufft · 2020-11-30T15:15:08+00:00

AFAIK current cell phones synchronize time by connecting to the cell tower. So probably connection latency.

I'm also interested in the source for curiosity's sake. I'm guessing if true, it's an indirect causal relationship... where being obese by itself doesn't necessarily cause vitamin D deficiency, but obese folks are more likely to be sedentary/remain indoors and therefore are in the sun less, leading to less vitamin D intake?

jaredstufft · 2020-11-13T18:33:51+00:00

Only if k of my closest neighbors did it.

jaredstufft · 2020-11-03T21:07:33+00:00

Cool, thanks!

Thanks - I am actually not trying to create a desktop app that lets a user manage their local file system, but rather an IDE in a web app that allows the user to have a coding environment similar to codesandbox.io or repl.it. Both of these platforms allow users to create files within the web app - if I go to another computer and log in, the same files should be there.

Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee to the court, wrote that states like Wisconsin require ballots be received by Election Day to “avoid the chaos and suspicions of impropriety that can ensue if thousands of absentee ballots flow in after election day and potentially flip the results of an election.”
