I’ve heard of artists with aphantasia, just maybe there are fewer as a percent than the general public.

Oil industry profits got vaporized by the decline in prices in the aftermath of the shale revolution. Prices fell sharply from 2014 to 2016. So after this, capital discipline became the watchword. That meant they wouldn't overinvest in

I actually think it makes sense to look at slices of the EU since the composition of the EU has changed over time. Countries like Germany and France were at a very different level of development compared to Estonia or Poland. So it makes se

The naming convention is a bit esoteric, but once you figure it out it's not too bad. I don't think writing bindings is too hard once you know what's going on. You most likely would want to write some kind of wrapper on top o

I’m ok with library Sci-Hub, but less so with Library Genesis. Pirating books reduces the incentives for authors to write more books. Pirating academic articles won’t reduce academics’ incentives to write papers.

The problem is that the system in the case of the economy is composed of billions of humans, not machines. The economy is much more complex, which makes it harder to understand and forecast where it’s going. That doesn’t mean one is right

For used cars, they just don’t incorporate them. They can ask the dealer whether the car sales are for new or used cars. They might incorporate the profit from the transaction (to the extent there is profit) or fees associated with the tran

Average ACT scores have declined six years in a row and are at their lowest level in 30 years. This isn't necessarily the strongest argument because of potential changes in the composition of the test takers. Particularly as schools go

Generally not a fan of the bolding in the article, but the broader point raised by this one is worthwhile. "Student transcripts, too, might be better understood in the context of institutions' and departments' grading standar

> Total nonsense. Figure 1 does not mean that SAT/ACT scores are predictive of academic achievement! Without seeing the variance you cannot make this statement. At all. The fact that there is a linear relationship means nothing stat

I'm jealous. Unfortunately, people like me with aphantasia have no visual imagination. The hardest part in physics was converting the problems into equations. Once it is an equation, I could solve it (depending on the problem, with som
