#App #Churn is so HIGH! 80% churn on day 1, 98% churn by day 30 🤯 #SaaS and #Streaming are lucky. As David Curry from Business of Apps observes, "the majority of apps being free to download... users have invested very little into the app." www.businessofapps.com/data/app-ret...

New #churn report by Subbly, covering a variety of #subscription products (mostly physical product subscriptions.) One of the key insights: churn did not depend significantly on price! Overall 2024 churn rate of 7.4% monthly for their client companies, ~60% per year. www.subbly.co/blog/subscri...

#bayarea #weather is TOO nice - tshirt weather in January means it’s going to be a drought year 😢 where did all the great rain from December go? I guess this is linked to the socal fires, and we may be in for a fiery summer as well

Made my first PR on an #OpenSource project. Before now, all the projects I worked with had everything I needed. The PR is just a small suggestion to improve memory performance in #EconML (#causalml) - we'll see what the repo maintainers think of my hackery, haha...

I appreciate the effort in this article on customer #churn prediction in Nature Scientific Reports - and I must give some serious criticism:

We have a feeling you'll be interested in this one. Nature is keen to find out how scientists are using Bluesky and whether it has become their go-to social-media platform. Take the survey! 🧪

My book Fighting #Churn With #Data passed 3K copies sold in 2025! 🎉 No best seller, but I'm proud that I helped make so many other peoples' work a success! (do the math to see how NOT worth it writing a tech book is financially 😂 ) #datascience #machinelearning www.manning.com/books/fighti...

The godfather of #AIHype busting NYU Prof Gary Marcus #2025predictions for #GenAI TLDR: marginal productivity benefits but continued hallucinations, unreliability, low adoption, competition, low profits, etc. And one more thing - reasoning agents will disappoint. open.substack.com/pub/garymarc...

Serial #Churn is up! According to New Antenna Group #SVOD #churnrate stats : Serial churners make up 23% of users but account for 42% of cancels. Great stats in their 2024 #Subscription Insights - I highly recommend it if you're in SVOD or #SaaS. www.antenna.live/post/antenna...

I spent time in my #neuroscience PhD painstakingly tracing neuron bodies and dendrites, and this is just amazing. What was that program called - Neurolucida? Was anyone else here tracing neurons back in the 2000’s before #connectomics was a word? #neuroskyence
