Seeking work - Kansas City - Remote

I'm Austin, a data scientist with five years experience building predictive models with a variety of statiscal and machine learning tools. I'm interested in exploring moonlighting opportunities. If you want to develop a data science proof-of-concept or have a conversation on whether data science tools are a good fit for your problem, I'd love to set up a chat with you.

Email is Austin at C a u t h o n.net


I don't understand why people are wearing masks at all. Dont they only protect you from inhaling someone's cough or sneeze? How often do people get coughed on?

Frequent hand washing and sterilization makes more sense to me. The cough droplets are on surfaces we touch. You aren't going to inhale them.


Wearing a mask is about not spreading your droplets around. While they do protect you to some degree they also protect other people from you. There is no way to know if you are an asymptomatic or presymptomatic carrier. Hand washing and sterilization are also useful tools but so are masks. Certainly we need to have them for our providers but having even a cotton bandanna on yourself is a courtesy to others. Anything to reduce your spread of droplets may help others.


I don't think so. 4 months without any customers is an eternity for restaurants/bar industry or tourism industry. A larger portion of these businesses will go bankrupt or reduce their size. People will lose their jobs and not have any money to buy stuff, which in turn slows down the economy even more.

I also think 4 months is very optimistic, I bet things aren't "normal" for over a year.


I haven't checked today, but on Monday I was able to buy a webcam directly off of Logitech's website. All the retailers I could think of checking were out of stock.


It reads like a fact-based, non biased article to me. I suspect you agree with this assessment too which is why you resorted to attacking the blog's owners instead of trying to disagree with any parts of the story.
