A reasonable consumer would think a "tip" to a driver is a payment on top of other wages. If a DoorDash "tip" does not change the driver's take-home pay as shown here, it's a very bad look.

Creating the personalized Discover Weekly playlists on Spotify might be the most fun data science challenge ever. It’s changed music discovery for indie artists. stevebenjamins.com/blog/music-in-…

We got our 7 year old a Chromebook for the upcoming year of Zoom-filled school. Now I get - no joke - 30 messages like this per day.

Anyone who has had to deal with me around Carvana has likely heard me get high and mighty around $500-1000+ "Dealer/Doc Fees" that aren't disclosed in price (ours are $0). Very cool to have rob corddry hilariously reppin' it on TV: youtube.com/watch?v=sXJAD1…

As a child, I saw a world of experts that all knew more than me. As an adult, I see imperfect people doing extraordinary things. It’s all just regular people putting a stick in the ground.

I'm a fan of Elastic the company and open source proj. I wish them success. The move to change licenses is puzzling. Amazon Web Services may have infringed their trademarks and copyrights, and Elastic should vigorously defend. Changing the license is an unrelated concern. Leads to this.

Data science is hard. Twitter's top suggestions for me are accounts with 4 and 10 followers. One hasn't tweeted in 5 years; the other has a single retweet as its history. Neither are followed by anyone I follow. Back to the drawing board on whatever model is powering this.

Even the most perfectly architected and documented systems take lots of effort to understand. Making sweeping changes without that upfront effort is naive at best.
