I think it really depends on the qualifications of the individual applicant. I've been here a while and I'm senior level but I make more than I would as a professor somewhere and more than I would at the lab I used to…
Houston Astros|Houston,Texas| Baseball Research Analyst|Full-Time|ONSITE The Astros are looking for a new analyst to join our R&D team. We deal with every aspect of the game, from supporting coaches developing minor…
I got hired to be an analyst for a MLB baseball team off of a HN post like 7 years ago. Because of HN I have 2 world series rings! Life is very strange but I'll forever be grateful for that Who's Hiring post.
I feel you on the live coding. As for the physics/math data engineer, hit me up at rferguson at astros.com if you'd like, we're always looking for solid cross discipline folks
When I was in undergrad, a Cog Psych professor told me a story about an undergrad who made a poster for a regional research conference of no real consequence about the correlation between diet soda drinking and some…
I work as an analyst for a MLB team. Bad calls are frustrating, but automated systems are not foolproof. It's been a few years, but there have been MLB games where the system is down completely. Can you imagine having…
I'd imagine thermal throttling will be responsible for actual performance differences across devices (but this is just a guess)
I'm a data scientist (for an MLB team that will win the WS this year!) and I love this. Of course this isn't a whole end to end evaluation platform. But we will get 300-500 applications for a position sometimes, and…

I used to browse the "who's hiring" every month, even though I had a job I loved. I saw an ad for an MLB team (Astros) looking for an analyst, which was super interesting to me. I sent in an application, went through…
Not to say that I'm not open to the idea. I'd love for it to be true, I just think large-effect-size effects are not often mired in the controversy that this one is. They're hard to find.
This is really great! I'll have to look into this when I have a little while. Thanks for passing it on. Just on a glance, I disagree that it really shows much of an increase though. Just glancing at the forest plots of…
So it definitely transfers 'near'. You'll get better at the dual-n-back test. And possibly other visio-spatial working memory tests. But the question of far transfer- will it make you smarter- is probably not. Here is a…
All of these brain training products are suspect. Evidence for far transfer (training in one task transferring to a different domain task) is surprisingly hard to find, and empirical findings otherwise tend to disappear…
