On the contrary, McKinsey can also service as an abstraction between the customer and AI. The customer gets two layers of removal from any real responsibility for the price of one.

This app is now called "rif is fun" due to a trademark licensing dispute.
Honestly, with an adult you would be right, but kids are just a crapshoot.
If I wanted to listen to music while coding, I found a workaround by owning a Shuffle and getting approval for it. The Shuffle doesn't have a USB port and doesn't connect to WiFi or Bluetooth, so it met all the criteria for an exemption.
It's weird having lived in such a strict cross-section of users to need these specific criteria met. Even the OP lists several options that all would fail to meet these restrictions.
Removal of pull quotes entirely would be a Quality of Life improvement in such a case.
In fact, what pushed me into VBA was when $manager thought I would be a good fit to learn it, and gave me the book! I was a lucky case, as the new skills ended up being immediately required.
It's what pushed me into programming and eventually data science in other languages, which led to a significant push in my career.
That's not to say that you should read this book, but instead a remark on how adding high-demand skills to my skillset made me more money than any of the side-hustles or hobbies I've ever tried.
Excel macros working one day, then prohibited the next by new IT policies.
Directors demanding that service line bosses meet with me to discuss "data-driven decision-making", followed by a solid week of said chiefs telling me that my job is a joke.
Actual honest-to-God employees trying to make a difference in financial openness having their coworkers walk by their desks and loudly shout they "ain't doing that shit" and walking away.
Two years hunting for a database to store 2 GB of data, and only finding one when a new contractor onboarded and knew a guy in the next office over who would let them have a partition of SQL Server.
I wish I was making any of this up. The federal government has massive, massive employee culture issues. This list is... a nice dream.

Additionally, I use Feedly[1] to discover content from sites in an RSS-like system. I find that visiting Feedly daily in the browser, then saving content to Instapaper using a browser extension for later works optimally for me.

While composing this question I was about to ask if you support VS Code, but I see[0] that you do now.
I was also about to ask if you support disabling the 5,000-row limit, but I see[1] that you do that now, too.
So, clearly, you're doing great things with Altair.

In fact, my personal experience is that Daily Mixes do a better job showing me new music than Discover Weekly does
To date, I haven't had a specific need for Snowflake, but that's down to my client's situations, not any issue with the company or its product. If that situation changed, it would indeed result in contracts.
The reason that
_ = [validations.pop(key) for key in ('executed','filter_type')]
This may confuse those wondering what the difference between the two functions is.
Otherwise, I find the article's points reasonable.
2. Only a handful of times, over the past year. The time needed to write and edit can be long. I'm also trying to write a novel.
3. Medium. I'm a writer for a publication called Nightingale.

Those were good times.
On existing processes, standardizing collection has been nearly impossible unless I promised that it would be easier, it will take less time, and I'll do all the setup. It always takes leadership backing, and if I don't get it from one leader, I go over their head to the next.
On new processes, if I jump forward and volunteer, I find I'm given leeway to do it my way- that is, a standardized way.
If this sounds ruthless, it is.
If more firms took an educated, standardized approach to their data, I would do my job significantly faster, and the company would have access to their data-related products in far, far less time. Firms I have worked for, overall, refuse to do that.
Instead, such notions are treated as toxic- and I am too, by the associative property. They think I'm making extra work ("You want us to stop copying Powerpoints into Excels and put data into a whole new Excel that stops me from pasting in whatever I want? But I already have it in my own Excel!"), or they think I'm automating someone's job away to be replaced by a robot. This makes getting support from both employees and leaders near impossible.
It could save firms millions a year in reduced labor costs alone to not have entire teams of people sitting in basements fixing problems with data. However, data scientists are sold on what math they can do and what algorithms they can write, not on what processes they can improve.
It's, frankly, hell.
