Companies betting on data must value people as much as AI

 The Pareto principle, also known as the 80-20 rule, asserts that 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes, rendering the remainder way less impactful. Those working with data may have heard a different rendition of the 80-20 rule: A data scientist spends 80% of their time at work cleaning up messy data as opposed to doing actual analysis or generating insights. Imagine a 30-minute drive expanded to two-and-a-half hours by traffic jams, and you’ll get the picture. http://sydneychinesetennis.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69851 https://www.eroticillusions.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=357879 http://aena.at/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11860 http://www.magrace.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1520271 http://www.s-server.vip/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=76727 http://www.varshavskoe1.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=31837 https://www.poslouchej.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4075 http://forum.creative-destruction.com/forum.php?extra=%20&mod=viewthread&tid=103531 http://www.flyingfish.nl/...

Indonesian D2C insurance marketplace Lifepal raises $9M Series A

 Choosing an insurance policy is one of the most complicated financial decisions a person can make. Jakarta-based Lifepal wants to simplify the process for Indonesians with a marketplace that lets users compare policies from more than 50 providers, get help from licensed agents and file claims. The startup, which says it is the country’s largest direct-to-consumer insurance marketplace, announced today it has raised a $9 million Series A. The round was led by ProBatus Capital, a venture firm backed by Prudential Financial, with participation from Cathay Innovation and returning investors Insignia Venture Partners, ATM Capital and Hustle Fund. Lifepal was founded in 2019 by former Lazada executives Giacomo Ficari and Nicolo Robba, along with Benny Fajarai and Reza Muhammed. The new funding brings its total raised to $12 million. http://ocrc.x10host.com/showthread.php?tid=251914 https://ringsidereport.com/forumz/showthread.php?tid=10569 http://theauctionboard.com/showthread.php?tid=8...

YC-backed Tablevibe’s customer surveys help restaurants reduce their reliance on delivery apps

 Food delivery apps offer convenience for customers, but a host of headaches for restaurants, like commissions as high as 40% and very few tools to build customer loyalty. Based in Singapore, Tablevibe wants to help restaurants reduce their reliance on third-party delivery apps and help them get more direct orders and returning customers. The startup is part of Y Combinator’s current batch, which will hold its Demo Day at the end of this month. Tablevibe’s founding team includes two former Googlers: Jeroen Rutten, formerly head of Google Search’s product strategy in APAC and Sneep, who was responsible for its app development go-to-market strategy and led large sales teams. They are joined by Guido Caldara, a lead teacher at coding bootcamp Le Wagon and Tablevibe’s chief technology officer. http://aandp.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=1218506 https://beta.cqpolska.pl/showthread.php?tid=29355&pid=165559 https://www.acdvevents.it/forum/thread-67302.html http://plainnuts.com/showthrea...

Uber CEO calls Massachusetts gig economy ballot measure the ‘right answer’

 Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi expressed his support Wednesday for a ballot initiative in Massachusetts that would keep gig economy workers classified as independent contractors, fulfilling a promise he made nearly a year ago to push for laws that preserve its business model. “In the state of Massachusetts, we think the right answer is our IC+ model, which is independent contractor with benefits,” Khosrowshahi said during the earnings call with investors. “Our drivers love it. Prop 22 has proven to be incredibly popular with California drivers.” https://forumgpluxuria.com/post444047.html http://www.bookofhook.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=920451 https://realtimecheats.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=84904 http://www.rebels-softair.it/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=64723 http://forums.lonelybitsgames.com/viewtopic.php?t=34641 http://www.dnipro-ukr.com.ua/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=92567 https://www.acdvevents.it/forum/thread-67045.html http://www.welcome2solutions.com/forum/topics.aspx?I...

Oh, Facebook changed its privacy settings again

 Ever considerate of its users, Facebook has determined that its privacy settings needed a bit of a shuffle to keep things clear and easy to find. To that end they’ve taken the “privacy settings” settings and scattered them mischievously among the other categories. “We’ve redesigned our entire settings menu on mobile devices from top to bottom to make things easier to find. Instead of having settings spread across nearly 20 different screens, they’re now accessible from a single place,” writes Facebook in a blog post announcing the changes. Oh, sorry — that’s from 2018, when they centralized privacy settings to make them easier to find. This is the one from today about decentralizing them into a bunch of different places. https://www.forumdime.com/Thread-%D0%98%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2-8-%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%BD-5-%D1%81%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F-%D1%81%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB-%D0%B2-%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%B...
