Look at Ray Ray Run

You don't think Pritzker has done a good job? I hated Pritzker - I'm tired of billionaires buying political power, but even I can't deny he has been outstanding with COVID. He got hit earlier than all those places you named and he squashed to the best of his abilities despite being surrounded by 3 idiotic states. I'm not sure why you citing volume stats given the timeline and the population of the state vs other states. Lightfoot has sucked, I agree there, but Pritzker and Illinois have done a fantastic job slowing and containing the spread.

Love to hear the thoughts from an expert - so not me - on HIPAA because I'm not sure why HIPAA protects players privacy for COVID but not injuries. In addition, I think raising awareness is important and total transparency by the league and everyone involved should be the norm. They obviously have rights and they have a right to privacy, I just think it makes no sense from a public safety/transparency standpoint.

I'm honestly confused by the insistence on privacy from the players.

Yeah, st Joe's is nice too. My folks are retired in South Haven off of Hawkshead. Just drove through st Joe's and michigan city today. Know the ruppert family who own clementines in st Joe's and south haven. Love going to that area.

Cuthbert? I believe I saw McCann.

Has anyone seen cuthbert?

Oh I get the love of kelenic. I'm just saying the two guys drafted ahead of mad are arguably worse so far.

Yeah but saying madrigal isnt the fourth best because kelenic has been real good, would imply that the three ahead of him were better. Mize for sure, but Bohm and Bart? I'd rather have madrigal.

Based on what? Bart and Bohm you could argue have been worse than madrigal easily.

Sox I have zero problem with people not liking Madrigal, but to argue hes a bad pick while all hes done is live up to his pick so far seems odd. How can some argue they should have drafted someone else when no one has played in the league and madrigal is the closest to it and hes a consensus top prospect? It also makes no sense saying madrigal will be a long time big leaguer and contributor but was bad pick at 4. That would be a success at 4 based on the expected outcome of the fourth pick. I've said this many times but people really seem to overrate mlb draft picks; implying the expected outcome of the 4th pick is a game changing superstar is just absurd.

Yeah how dumb of a pick. Guy is ready for the league in under 2 years, has been a top 50 prospect consensus, and people are saying we should have drafted kelenic. Smh.

I've seen him called out multiple times too and he just ignores everyone calling him our for changing the story 10 times and making up repeated nonsense.

David Price opts out for the season. I have mad respect for Price after this entire off-season. First he paid Dodgers MiLB player he felt were being shafted by the system out of his own pocket, and then he decides the season isn't worth the risk to his family so forgoes the money and sits out. Commendable stuff from Price this off-season, even if you want baseball as much as I do.

Man this is rich coming from you; soxtalks king of disinformation pertaining to covid.

This is where that guy got his information from too: lol and here he is this morning: Stop feeding twitter troll idiots.

It didn't happen. The guy who was spreading that rumor and started it was literally on twitter this morning saying we'll never know the truth because the media won't cover it. He said "I hope we find out." He said he saw a tweet from a Riverdale coworker lol, and then talked to a "source close to the situation." He has 4 twitter followers, lives in a house with a television on the floor in his living room, and he has always lived in Illinois. The tweet never existed, and he never had a source.

Not Sox related, but Freddie Freeman having some pretty rough Covid symptoms is what I heard. Not a good start.

again this never happened, please stop spreading rumors that were started by twitter trolls.

This did not happen. Please stop spreading twitter misinformation.

Darvish will be 34 years old this year and hasnt been healthy in 3 years, and that was his only healthy season since 2013. Yu seems like a good guy but it's an awful signing.

Machine learning and AI is really DS and the future of economy in general, imo. Finding a way to implement that level of automation while still maintaining a sense of work/purpose for the people is going to be one hell of a challenge and hurdle, but it'll be a lot of fun.

1. Depaul 2. Work is not, and that's fine. I have the money set aside to cover the program already so don't need to get any loans or etc. 3. I actually learned R/Python and SQL when I started to model MLB and NCAAB/NBA when I was playing poker fresh out of college. Amazing how easy you pick things up when the thing your working on you love doing. Made a couple bucks exploiting NCAAB total markets and mid-major sides and NBA Daily Fantasy Sports, and then gave it all back in MLB where I learned people who model that are well ahead of me at this time in my life. 4. I hear you; communication is difficult in this world, and there are so many people who honestly just have no idea what you're doing or talking about, even though they know it's valuable. I actually don't mind remote learning as I tend to be better at self-teaching and problem solving than having someone walk me through it. Good luck! I think you'll be fine. It's one hell of an in-demand career right now, and the movement up the ladder is really quick in major corporations for the entry level jobs in that field.

but for systems building and efficiency management, you are in turn making your company money they just don't see it that way. you are correct though, there are modelers and machine learners that run the revenue generation, but from an angle of accountability and profit maximization, you are not viewed as a revenue generator.

Finance and Data Analytics Honestly though, all my coding skills and etc have been self taught online; my education is much more formal on the math and finance side of things. There are a couple free courses I would recommend you try first, and see if it's something that is interesting to you. I would recommend a Python Course to start and learn the basics of the language. In data science you shouldn't really be pigeonholed to any industry. I find the biggest hurdle and issue I see with many machine learning/AI/Data Science people is that they understand code but they don't understand what is useful inputs and they don't really know how to implement operational change that coincide with their tellings/findings. A big part of data science is collecting and analyzing, but the valuable part for business is being able to convert those reports into operational usefulness and a language that everyone can understand. This is a hurdle that many are having a difficult time overcoming. Never forget, regardless of how much money you save the company and how streamlined you make efficiencies, you will never be considered a "revenue generator" for a business.
