I agree I feel like it’s just blatantly funneling me into those dubious buy this font sites. I have somewhat better success with http://www.identifont.com/ usually
I don’t think the proposed font is correct either, I’m not even sure the concept of font works for that example though. Mainly the arches on the m are wrong, too arch like and whereas the example is more teardrop.
This. No one is getting released from prison because of this decision. It has been worded in such a way that makes it sound like it will have far more impact, which is of course intentional and political.
To be clear, 6,500 is the number of individuals receiving a pardon. The percentage of these 6,500 who will be released from prison? Zero - none of these individuals are currently in prison solely for possession of marijuana: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/10/07/...
Interesting... given that this is actually in use for the Australian Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Exchanges, this smart contract language could become a major player and continue to get corporate adoption, especially now that it's open sourced.
I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to use SQL for everything. If you are constantly inserting records and don't need relational structures, DynamoDB might be a better choice. DynamoDB scales quickly and cheaply, so it's potentially the preferable option if it works in your architecture.
It's relatively easier to iterate your data storage with relational tables though. Dynamite is great if you are sure a component just needs a k/v store, and you are sure you will never want to do a join.
Unless you do a masters degree in Data Science, AI, CS, Statistics, or a related field, a masters degree only serves as proof that you are intelligent and work hard. Someone without a masters degree can still have those attributes, but they would just have to prove it some other way.
For example, if you have a bachelors degree from a top engineering school (MIT, Cal Tech, Stanford, Berkeley, etc.) you have proven that you are intelligent and can work hard.
People without a masters degree, but more business experience, bring a different perspective, and are often more business results focused, and potentially work more collaboratively than an individual who just graduated from a masters program.

I think the commenter’s point is (implicitly) about specific, directly relevant Master’s degrees. Obviously a general Master’s wouldn’t provide much of an advantage. The difficulty isn’t demonstrating intelligence and work ethic, it’s demonstrating targeted expertise.

To be honest with you, this sounds to me like complete speculation. I’m not saying it’s wrong; rather it seems like it’s at best unempirical, and at worst unfalsifiable. The qualifiers you’re using (like “potentially”, or “often”) don’t seem like strong heuristics.
I think it would be helpful to discuss straightforward job descriptions. For most real data science roles, I would not weight any of what you’ve listed (except collaboration) as being remotely as useful as demonstrable expertise in computer science and statistics. For candidates without a Master’s degree, I wouldn’t take business experience or lack thereof as a signal whatsoever - I’d look for a relevant heuristic to replace it.
