Want To Contribute To An Upcoming Book?

I’ve just started working with O'Reilly on a new book, and we are looking for people to contribute their thoughts for inclusion in the book. The book is going to be called 97 Things About Ethics Everyone In Data Science Should Know. This book will be part of a larger series O’Reilly does called 97 Things, each of which contains -- wait for it -- 97 blog-length essays from a variety of authors on a given topic. 

Our goal with the collection is to represent a wide range of voices and ideas from people who have a clear point of view on some aspect of the ethical issues surrounding the field of data science. We're going to organize the book around broad themes, including the ethics surrounding:

How to ensure that the results of a data science initiative are used ethically
What policies and procedures are needed to support all of the above


We're looking for essays of 500 - 750 words by September 30, 2019. This can be something that you've already written (e.g., on your personal blog) or can be derived ...

They meet many of the requirements of larger submarines at a fraction of the cost.     For example, the Navy awarded Boeing a $43-million contract to build four Orca Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (XLUUVs) last year, described in a release from  USNI News .      Boeing based its winning Orca XLUUV design on its Echo Voyager unmanned diesel-electric submersible. The 51-foot-long submersible is launched from a pier and can operate autonomously while sailing up to 6,500 nautical miles without being connected to a manned mother ship, according to the Navy.   In military spending terms, the versatility of the Orca at the price is “fairly unheard of in military spending,” according to an account in  The National Interest . ...
