I'm pretty sure most of us DS know about significant digits and are usually calculating the maximum to enable future flexibility. For a single output, I can understand how you'd be upset we don't round. But for the 20+…
In fraud analysis, we look for too much access (what we call improper segregation of duties). This is pretty common at smaller organizations, so it can help to look for additional red flags. Fraudsters commonly show up…

Some other ways Brokers make money: Market Making operations that leverage the same infrastructure and market position, Interest on Margin, Stock Loan/Borrow activity with other Brokers, and Market Data Access. Still…
We keep it very simple as well. Postgres read-replica for cheap realtime stuff, Redshift for the larger sets, Airflow to manage transfers, and Metabase to visualize and share. We also collect data from a bunch of APIs,…
I experienced lots of bullying. It messed me up real good emotionally. It also greatly informed my worldview (for better or for worse). So the details about the bullying: public north-eastern grade & middle school:…
