The worst data mistakes I've seen, besides let's say using obviously biased data to prove a result you want is also usually, uh having data, and being like I'm gonna ignore the bits that contradict the answer I want to… Continue reading Pascal Elahi on Quantum Computing, the value of a broad education, and a lot more!
