Very excited that my colleague @SameerSManek will be presenting some of our team's work on forecasting at Lyft at the 41st International Symposium on Forecasting. This project he's discussing has been 2+ years in the making! #ISFConf2021 @IIForecasters

New project! We built an A.I. bot that mercilessly judges your taste in music on Spotify. See how your data stacks up against millions of indicators of objectively good music, including Pitchfork reviews and record store recommendations pudding.cool/2020/12/judge-m…

How Bad Is Your Streaming Music?

Our sophisticated A.I. judges your awful taste in music.

Could there also be an option to auto-delete partially played episodes? Or even set a max total # of episodes per podcast? E.g., I have lots of partially played daily news episodes that I need to periodically go back and delete. Btw, awesome app!

This is madness. C.D.C. Now Says People Without Covid-19 Symptoms Do Not Need Testing nytimes.com/2020/08/25/healt… Why does leadershop at the CDC provide no explanation? Why did they refer questions about the change to HHS? Are they now just puppets?

C.D.C. Now Says People Without Covid-19 Symptoms Do Not Need Testing (Published 2020)

The revision prompted confusion and alarm from experts, who called the move “potentially dangerous.”

1/Trump has failed at many things. But when it comes to the central goal of his presidency -- limiting nonwhite immigration to the U.S. -- he has succeeded wildly. And our nation will be far worse off for it. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Trump’s Immigration Lockdown Will Weaken America

By turning away the world’s best talent, U.S. industrial and tech leadership might lose out to China and other nations.

Why did CVS charge almost $200 for a $6 bottle of pills? Bloomberg crunched the numbers on a secret drug pricing system with billions at stake bloom.bg/2N6lrRt

"The system is rigged." So they say (correctly), but this amazing @TheEconomist piece has actual numbers. ow.ly/tqQl30l4qd5

America’s electoral system gives the Republicans advantages over Democrats

The constitution was not designed for the two-party politics it unwittingly encouraged
