Good Local Posts
- Tim Martin did a neat network analysis of the climate change conversation on twitter.
- BuzzFeed did a nice profile on Yann LeCun, who leads AI research at Facebook out of one of their NYC offices.
- Sharan Naribole did a great exploration of H-1B applications.
- yhat republished a fun but also really in-depth post on the different python visualization libraries, including Altair, which I haven't worked with yet.
Please pass this email along to any good people you know who might be interested in it. To see previous job listings (many of which are still open!) and blogs, check out the archive.
If you want your job or event or blog post to be included in the next version of this email, or if you have suggestions about how this could be better, please let me know!
