Data Scientist: The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century
Interestingly, just yesterday, I found out that Linkedin Friend Suggest uses, among other things, co-logins from same IP address as a signal. On my test account that I created at work, it eerily showed me all my co-workers in the Friend Suggest list. Later, as soon as I logged in from home, it added my wife to my Friend Suggest list.<p>I wonder if one of the goals of a good Data Scientist is also to be not too accurate, lest the product create an eerie feeling among users! (remember the Target pregnant girl incident?!)
