Please support! They need $4k TODAY or they don’t get the money raised so far. 

You Had Me at Black City Tour - You Had Me at Black is the first of its kind- a storytelling kickback series and podcast that reflects the lives of black millennials. - http://kck.st/2qAls1x

Don’t let the media dominate the narrative of what blackness means (portrayals are often negative)!

I feel like Alexander Hamilton in “Take a Break” and that’s not good.

If anybody has tips for dealing with workaholism & an insane need to always be productive, plz share.

Other note: The lack of balance that comes with bipolar disorder is hella inconvenient. I’m either slacking off and mastering the art of doing nothing/sleeping all day OR pouring an insane amount of energy into some “productive” topic or project to the point where I’m not sleeping/socializing/thinking about anything else.

Check out post 2 of my data science blog “R We There Yet?” to learn about how bad data sampling affects election polls, AI beauty contests, and the criminal justice system.

View the blog weekly to learn about cool tech stuff ++ watch me grow from wee student into the data scientist butterfly I was meant to be.

Hey, what’s Winnie the pooh’s favorite color?

Yellow

No it’s red because of his shirt

No, it’s yellow because he loves honey

You have no idea what you’re talking about

People are big data too. But only when they engage with the digital world via decades-old desktop monitors. That’s when arched doorways open to the big data superhighway (watch out for elephants!).

Those who have “transitioned” from meatspace to bigdataspace often carry briefcases that contain little amounts of data in a sea of bigger data.

So who are the ghosts in our machines? We are. Go now and walk that binary/fishnetty lane in peace. Your desktops have set you free.

Software Dev Client Meeting Summary:

Me: “So the app should allow volunteers to enter fitness data about the students to measure their improvement. What kind of fitness data exactly?”

Client: “Have you heard of The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.”

legalizing pot is 100% worthless if we as white people aren’t going to 1. release and forgive the sentences of those thrown in jail for pot, 2. actually allow black people into the legal pot industry w the same ease white people enter it and the same ability to get rich off it, and 3. stop fucking arresting black youth, not allow it to go up by 58 fucking % 

Marijuana arrests have gone up in colorado for black and latino people http://www.vibe.com/2016/05/marijuana-arrests-colorado-skyrocket-black-latino/

It’s kind of like how the 2nd amendment only applies to white people.
