C-47 aka clothespin

The C47

The C47 is incredibly cheap and extremely useful, as is a wide array of clamps, in the machine vision laboratory.  The C47 appears identical to an ordinary wooden clothespin.  (I’ll let you in on a secret:  they’re the same.)

A Data What?

Humpty-Dumpty told Alice, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.”

Each of us, then, has our own Humpty-Dumpty that tells us what words mean to us and greatly influences our opinions and actions.

In the new field of data science, the practitioners are known as data scientists.  This appears quite consistent.
