The abstract doesn't say that isolation is negative (I think). It just says WFH folks are more socially isolated.
For some people, more social isolation is OK. For others, not so OK. YMMV .
I personally think that more socializing is better, if it's with people who I become better by being around. The tough part is knowing who's good for me, and how I can find them.
The abstract of the article says that folks who have remote work are more socially isolated, even after work hours.
Maybe WFH allows folks to be more social with the people they want, but the abstract says that they socialise less overall, and are more socially isolated.
Do you think it's like when driving with GPS first became a thing?
Everyone stopped learning the roads & streets of where they were driving, but it was OK to lose that knowledge.
GPS companies revised their products to adapt to driver mistakes, and today driving is generally better with Google Maps, even though sometimes it can be worse (no internet, or when a bug arises).
Agreed! I think all new/aspiring DS should be told that even if we give a technically great argument, the PM/decision-maker might not adopt it. This surprised me & my colleagues when we first learned it.
I've heard of different DS organizational models, whether embedded in a cross-functional team like this DS, or on a DS-only team. The main downside I've heard for a DS-only team is that stakeholders just come to you for requests, and you don't build up domain expertise.
For embedded DS, how could we get them to have more decision-making power? The only solution I can think of for a product team is to have the PM have DS skills, which eliminates the need to have a separate DS on the team in the first place!
I have the theory that if parents push an interest too hard, the kid will actually dislike that interest. So hopefully you can strike that balance / get lucky.
A small startup where my friend worked (~200 employees) ended up locking up their liquor cabinet except for Friday afternoons. Sadly, one of the employees was alcoholic and was going there too often.
I can try to help you pass the SQL round. I’m going through DS/Analytics Eng interviews myself. I’ve passed all of my technical rounds, but failed the final rounds so far. Email me at aok1425 at gmail.
Probability is incredibly non-intuitive! If you're willing to run a marathon to become more conversant in it, spend the ~4-5 hours to run marathon on this course: https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/stat110/home
