Is good data science always political? Our regularly scheduled guest had to cancel at the last minute, so Joel and Andrew decided to talk about politics. 

Topics covered include:

  • the one data scientist who’s not on twitter
  • how much Joel hates the xkcd cartoon
  • free speech in Canada (which Joel gets very wrong, please don't @ me)
  • how one (or one's bot) gets banned from twitter
  • Joel getting a phone call from his kid's school
  • #YarvinGate and #YarvinGate2
  • how good it feels to hold a pitchfork
  • loving one's neighbor vs tolerating one's neighbor
  • why everyone hates Kant
  • Nazi-punching
  • the pros and cons of street violence
  • whether companies should take political stands
  • whether Shopify should power the Breitbart store
  • what the hell do they even sell in the Breitbart store anyway?
  • the difference between refusing to do business with customers because you don't approve them and refusing to business with customers because twitter doesn't approve of them
