stats_lly··on How Twitter feels about Bernie, Hillary and Trump: tweet sentiment analysis
The thickness of the line would be better used to show the standard deviation of the sentiment score?

Totally agreed! Their M&S ads are just irresistible!
stats_lly··on Do the math on your stock options
This is very useful! I accepted an offer with few options and low salary at a start up after I graduated from my masters, and only realised what I have missed out on a couple of years later. I left with fewer options than people who joined years after me. Wish I knew a bit more about startups and their options earlier.

Same here - was seeing 59 pages of stats books this morning, and only 2 books are in stats now.
stats_lly··on Seldon – Serves predictions via a REST API
This seems interesting. Does it support user-defined algorithms? Or does it have to be a combination of the exsiting algorithms that Seldon provides? I don't seem to able to get a definite answer from this page: http://docs.seldon.io/configuration.html

After some comparison, looking at sample boxes, weighing pros & cons, I signed up for a taste box from TasteJapan, and I'm very excited to see what it's like!

stats_lly··on Candy Japan 2014 Year in Review
I have stumbled upon Candy Japan about half a year ago when I was moving house and said I'd try it after I settle down. I have recently come back to this topic and did some research on different Japanese snack subscription options.

- Most services cost around $25 monthly.

- Candy Japan seems to offer the most frequent service, with almost all of the other options only offer monthly delivery.

- But Candy Japan also offers the smallest amount - 282 grams (141 grams * 2) compared to others who usually offer 1lb (450 grams) monthly.

Has anyone tried other subscription services? How do they compared to Candy Japan?
