Every business that spends $1M or more on their compute needs suspects that half of it is probably wasted money. The problem is: which half?

If there's one thing I see again and again in "data science", it's an unwillingness to fuck around & find out. Don't be afraid of treating your input data as a goopy mass of numbers that can be recursively subdivided according to your will. Don't let the data push you around.

Recent mindasplode for me: I lived at sea level for 25 years where millibars plusminus around 1000 meant something about the weather. 950 was significant. The normal pressure in CDMX is *750* mb. Run-for-cover air pressure down by the dock of the bay is normal here.
