This video triggered a few thoughts and even a smile, beyond the immediate concerns over safety! This week, you’ll do something, and something will happen; you’ll connect the two. The link seems solid, but that link may not exist at all. The phrase “correlation is not causality” is overused, especially by those newer to data science and statistics. Yes, just… Read more →

The video, directed by Greg&Lio, includes some very trippy effects, and even managed an award nomination. Check… Read more →
