Geospatial Failures, Problem Selection, Being an Analyst/Scientist is Hard

(00:00) Experimental failures. Krishna won't let Chris forget about his failed SimCLR experiments.
(04:30) Geographic generalization discussion. Husky vs Malamute vs Wellpad.
(11:32) Chris fails to map coconut palm because it's hard. Read the paper carefully.
(15:30) Krishna maps oil slicks, but it's hard.
(20:30) Cognitive debt, problem selection and failure modes in geospatial.
(31:00) The sales cycle, promises, inflated expectations. Limitations in geospatial.
(34:00) Problem selection in journalism. Are we running out of ideas?
(37:00) Turning a failure into a success. Cover crop mapping is hard.
(45:00) Turning failure into a success: predicting sugarcane yield is hard.
(49:00) Is building tooling easier than solving modeling problems?
(53:00) Vertical seems better than horizontal. Solutions are multi-modal.
