Everything is political especially the conditions under which your exchange your labor for survival / comfort.

there's a pretty good book out there "Data Science from Scratch" it's all in python and really lays out the workings of popular data science / analysis algorithms without relying heavily on external libraries.

The talk juice it or lose, by Martin Jonasson & Petri Purho, is all about this. Gotta be one of the best talks for anyone trying to make things interactive that also feel good.

Well the difference is these stories are really really rare where as stories of struggling college graduates with mountains of debt are pretty commonplace.
Might as well tell people to gather inspiration from tales of lottery winners.

With what capital? More likely that these old mining towns and more rural communities wont exist in a few generations. With younger people moving to the cities to find whatever work they can.
akilism | 10 years ago | on: Amazon is doubling down on lobbying
I don't really see any negative spin at all. Amazon is portrayed as a business just trying to get things done in "backwards" Washington DC.
They are made out to seem like they don't even know what they are doing, "Amazon is really having to learn how to navigate all these things," even though they are spending nearly 10 million dollars on lobbying, have numerous contracts with the federal government and have a former whitehouse press secretary as a senior vp?
This is pretty much an amazon fluff piece.
