As an individual, it's not really possible to treat everyone equally.
Do you treat people unequally if you know they are smarter? What if someone else told you they were smart? If they have a high IQ, would that matter to you? Based on which college they graduated from? If they work 16 hours a week? What about 16 hours a day?
Attractiveness is an indicator just like any other [1]. It's just a reality.
I only get an hour together or a bit more if I'm lucky.
In terms of people I've hired, if they can solve and code things in real time on a white board, then they can definitely do even better with more time and research.
Everyone does better with research, trial, and error. That's not unique. What's unique is problem solving on your feet in a foreign environment. I want those people.
If you're not doing your own chip design and fab, there's really no one else in town to buy from. AMD, Intel have fallen well short in GPUs. TPUs from Google/Amazon are a more likely threat long-term.
How do I apply a function to every element of a data frame where that function takes as input the i,j indices of the element along with its value?
This is a problem I struggled on for weeks in college. Eventually having to hack something together that relied on modifying the underlying data frame.
I've not return to R since as python has always had better libraries and easier to deploy.
In python, your MRI analysis library could be trivially hooked up with other cloud data pipelines. Companies would require fewer training courses on average.
python is the most popular programming language in the world and getting better.
They really don't. I've been at such an org as described by OP. I've owned a system of production R/Excel and it was migrated to cloud + python + ETL over 4 years.
The places where Excel are used are fairly appropriate. Way downstream, for simple tasks.
