in Data Science, it is not uncommon to encounter problems with competing objectives. Whether designing products, tuning algorithms or optimizing portfolios, we often need to balance several metrics to get the best possible outcome. Sometimes, maximizing one metrics comes at the expense of another, making it hard to have an overall optimized solution. While several solutions exist to solve multi-objective Optimization problems, I found desirability function to be both elegant and easy to explain to non-technical audience. Which makes them an interesting option to consider. Desirability functions will combine several metrics into a standardized score, allowing for a holistic optimization.…

Not everyone is so cautious. Baker and Sandoval regularly field calls from police across the country asking for a copy of their warrant. Baker himself is considering using it in another case. And a cottage industry of consultants that, until recently, helped police craft tower-dump warrants now trains them to requisition Google. No systemic data is being collected on how often reverse keyword warrants are being used, but Andrew Crocker, surveillance litigation director of digital rights group the Electronic Frontier Foundation says it’s possible that there have been hundreds of examples to date.Meanwhile, another case—in which a keyword-search warrant was…
