Minimal example: transcode from MP3 to WMA:
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 output.wma
You can get the list of supported formats with:
ffmpeg -formats
Convert WAV to MP3, mix down to mono (use 1 audio channel), set bit rate to 64 kbps and sample rate to 22050 Hz:

Obtaining news data online can be obtained primarily in two ways - web scraping or use of an API. Python has libraries such as BeautifulSoup for web scraping. However, many sites actively discourage this due to violation of the terms of use or possibly copyright restrictions on the data. The latter option was chosen for this project because data can be quickly obtained using the appropriate Python wrapper.
There were three APIs that were used to construct the data set used in this project. NPR, NYTimes, and The Guardian are three currently active APIs at the time of this project. Other subscription based options such as Bloomberg are available, but the intent is to use open source information. Although NYTimes is one API, it is technically a compilation of two other sources: Reuters and Associated Press.
Obtaining bitcoin price data is fairly straightforward because the ledger is open source and public. Initially the data set contained ea
In the Seattle area, most data science meetups originate from a company called Galvanize. Some of their worksshops are helpful, but I find the constant pressure to enroll in one of their classes or bootcamps to be rather intrusive. There are a few smaller groups composed of enthusiasts that meet up a lot less regularly. One group was called the data vis meetup with a small group of ten people. There was a representation from a mix of disciplines. One apparent trait was the group primarily favored R over Python because there were more staticians in the group. The group recently got a sponsorship from R Studio!
I spoke with someone who worked at a startup in Austin, TX where he tracked movement of bicycles across rental stations. He had the entire project on github as well as a blog post on his analysis. Some of the data is not available due to privacy concerns, but the analysis is outline from data wrang
Finding experts in the field to interview turns out to be to less intimidating once getting over the initial stage of awkwardness. Most professionals are more than happy to promote their work as well as share their perspective towards career goals for newcomers.
I met this person at a data visualization meetup. He worked at a startup in Austin, TX before moving to Seattle, WA. Besides having a British accent, he gave a ton of recommendations for Python libraries when doing analysis. I learned about Folium for GIS data as well as a several libaries for R.
He showed me a project that he did for a bike share company:
1. Why are you interested in programming? What have you done to expose yourself to programming so far?
My entrée into programming occurred on my path to graduation from Stanford – the bastion of Computer Science where companies like Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Yahoo!, Google and SnapChat came into existence. Though I was surrounded by these greats, my interests lay elsewhere. I was focused on business and Marketing particularly in the Entertainment world. These were different skill sets I needed to develop – I majored in Psychology and Communication to determine what made people want to buy things and what were the best ways to reach them. I focused on Networking which I did by traveling to LA on my Spring Break talking to Stanford Alumni who were professionals in the Entertainment world like the Senior Vice President of Programming for ABC.
Along the way, I took a computer course entitled Intro to Computer Science. In this course, I wrote programs which rarely worked and it was difficult to find the reason
