Please recommend a book that a data scientist should read. Not a how-to or learning guide. Something more conceptual. Like Weapons of Math Destruction but not necessarily the same message.
Thank you in advance!

I have terminal cancer. My dying wish is for everyone to vote and pray for peace, equality, kindness and respect. We are free to disagree, but we should always do it with kindness and respect. I probably won't live to see another election, so please make this one count.

That debate was the worst thing I've ever seen & I was in The Star Wars Holiday Special.

Dear Oracle. I’m rooting for you. Please, please make TikTok suck. Make it suck so badly that my teenage daughter doesn’t care for it anymore. I’ll be forever thankful if you do.

My desire to stay on your website lasts exactly as long as it takes for you to start an autoplay video, a full screen pop up to appear, or you to ask to send me notifications.

“What’s a microservice?”
“Okay you know how a function can call other functions?”
“Yeah, of course”
“It’s just like that…but add 15 servers, 2 load balancers, and at least 7 network hops, plus you get to role play in a murder-mystery when anything goes sideways”

I have a pretty serious round of heart testing in a couple hours at Vanderbilt Hospital. Requesting prayers and good vibes. #sqlfamily – at Mount Juliet, TN

2- How to make a survey work by via negativa.
To assess if a book will survive, find an academic/someone who plays the system. If they say "well organized", "well written", or "original", odds are the book flops.
If they say "messy", "whimsical", the book will outlive him/her.

Difference between machine learning and AI:
If it is written in Python, it's probably machine learning
If it is written in PowerPoint, it's probably AI

I feel like Microsoft and Google swapped places.
Google is now like what I imagined MSFT was for 20 years - big, ugly, full of bro dudes, arrogant and made to suck out life out of everyone.
MSFT likes OS and is pushing innovation and is not too creepy.
What a time to be alive

You cannot buy or command joy. You can only receive it by doing things that will make you joyful, such as reaching out to others, serving, helping them, and being a good neighbor and friend.
