Today's #databs mishap. Tableau can automatically convert strings to dates, right? Turns out if your date is in the form "Jan-88", then the ONLY short code for September that Tableau will accept is "Sept", NOT "Sep".
This explains all the NULL values and gaps in my time series 😭

Trump's extortion withholding of $18bn+ from MTA won't just impact NYers.
Data shows NY’s MTA paid companies in other states $19bn over 14 years, supporting up to 247,000 jobs in blue, red, and purple States, with $7 billion going to Trump supporting states alone.

Everything's connected in a complex system. Trace those connections and you'll learn a lot. Maybe even _earn_ a lot.
Just remember to implement those risk controls and firebreaks.

IMAGINE leaving first year of undergrad with a GitHub profile full of data science repos 😭 That would have been so amazing!! I didn't even learn about GitHub until my third year. In my 30s (you're not too old to learn!)

Trump official tells census workers Congress has final say over the count, not Trump
Days after the president's call for a "new" census, the top official overseeing the Census Bureau told employees that Congress, not Trump, has final say over the tally, NPR has exclusively learned.

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
As a restaurant owner - I'm astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today's microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow's microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten years from now a microwave may even be able to run the country. Recently I was watching a livestream of a local microwave salesman.
