I think you're talking about liquidation preferences: http://stockoptioncounsel.com/blog/negotiating-equity-what-i... For founders: There's many reasons why this happen…

I personally think this article is kind of silly. Ultimately, depending on the field, you probably need to be T-shaped in some way - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shaped_skills …

Super neat! This is a compilation of datasets sent out from Jeremy Vine's Data Is Plural Newsletter - https://tinyletter.com/data-is-plural …

Hillel Wayne was recently on the Future of Coding podcast and they go deep into formal methods - https://futureofcoding.org/episodes/038 …

We're aiming to do this at Dataquest (where I work). Essentially create a complete learning path from 0 to job ready. Data Scientist path - https://www.dataquest.io/path/data…

The first 20 mins of Bret's talk ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agOdP2Bmieg ) discusses representations quite well in a very similar context / framing. The challenge with r…

Here's what works for me! I reflect clearly on what tools / techniques I'm already comfortable with and think of ideas for some projects I'd like to do. Then, I figure out how to b…

For people here who are interested in transit, I highly recommend Jarrett Walker's book "Human Transit". He really focuses the conversation around a few ideas that almost everyone can a…

Then you'd especially love Alan's talk!

Love this intro! All of the popular dataframe oriented tools (tidyverse, pandas, etc) all require familiarity with vectorization and thinking with related mental models. I'm involved with Dataque…

Hey there, I'm involved with Dataquest and we have a Pandas and NumPy fundamentals course where we dive into more intermediate concepts like vectorization, key data structures, and the key functi…

This post is SUPER relevant - http://worrydream.com/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionDesi... The rant is about interaction design in computer screens, but the points made here are ea…

Possibly! That def could be interesting. In general, we're just not great at processing symbolic representations. We haven't evolved to do so (unlike spatial, visual, auditory, etc senses fo…

It's funny you say that. This is something Alan Kay talks about at length. For example, watch the first 20 mins of this talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvmTSpJU-Xc Essenti…

I have no idea to be honest. I just gave a nominal amount, think it was like a hundred dollars. I would happily give a LOT more if I had stronger financial means / if I thought it would actually …

One of the goals of Dynamicland is to foster the creation of new representations that take advantage of + live across more sensory modalities. Bret calls them modes of representation, but there are si…

I made a small donation to Dynamicland and then requested to come by as part of that.

This is always a risk with inventing something new. Their FAQ hints at how they plan to mitigate some of the negative effects - https://dynamicland.org/faq/ They want to mirror t…

I had the pleasure of visiting Dynamicland and hanging out with Peter Norvig, Nicky Case and many others. There's a few things that stuck out for me: - The community! Most people I interacted w…

Works for me!

I have to know .. any chance the name was inspired by Alan Kay? :]

"Compared to students who reported sleeping eight hours at night, high school students who slept less than six hours were twice as likely to self-report using alcohol, tobacco, marijuana or other…

Makes a lot of sense actually. Decision trees are also incredibly visual and a lot more intuitive to understand.
