8 more hours to join my virtual machine learning workshop: yourchiefscientist.com/machi…
I'm live with a new 5 week workshop on machine learning yourchiefscientist.com/machi…. For less than going to a conference you can work with me side by side and learn machine learning from someone who has been doing it for 10 years. Only open till Friday :)

Been waiting on the phone for over an hour to get ahold of someone at @QuickBooks. Definitely not very quick.

And I got hungup on again. Great service @QuickBooks makes me think about switching to @Xero
I feel that the main difference between deep learning and traditional machine learning is a shift from "feature engineering" to "architecture building"
My wish is that @AirbnbEng would invest more into quick loading UI instead of pretty UI. The page load time and security measures is really frustrating as a user here in SE Asia.

I'm 33 pages into reading The Personal MBA by @joshkaufman...and wondering why I spent $40,000 on graduate degree vs. reading this book when it came out in 2010. #betterthanlawschool #butstillnotgood
