That's actually a neat interview question. a) So you have people living uniformly distributed on a line of length 1. When you pick 2 at random, what's the average distance from one to the other? b) How about if they live on a circ

A) Is the following then the appropriate conclusion? Drink moderately, and find a spouse that drinks approximately as much as you. B) I wonder whether the following set of hypotheses makes sense, and how one could test it: - Social life is

iPod gen 1 was awesome.

Also worth noting: when the iPod came out, iTunes had been around for a while. Many people had a decent music library on the Mac (from ripping CDs or Napster), and with the iPod, you just plugged it in, and within minutes you had the entire

Very nice, though the categorisation as a “Productivity” app is maybe questionable… :-)

FWIW, the book The Identity Trap by Yasha Mounk attributes the popularisation of what it calls the Identity Synthesis to social media such as Tumblr, then later Reddit, Twitter, Instagram; and web sites such as Thought Catalog, later Jeze

You're too quick to dismiss things. There's without doubt a phenomenon here (a multitude of anecdotes of sudden symptoms, with some victims "medically retired from government service"), with two theories to explain it: a

Great informative article. Note that "M-13" is often used for MS-13, and "M-18" (erroneously?) for B-18, which can be a bit confusing. ETA: It's not erroneous, as that gang is known as either Barrio 18 or Mara 18. A

So, legal theory provides three reasons for punishment: 1) revenge ("an eye for an eye") - that's not considered a factor anymore today except as an upside-limit on the punishment, ie, the punishment should not exceed the dam

FWIW, I didn't find Lewis's book as bad (or amoral) as it's often made out to be. Yes, he didn't put his judgement in every paragraph, but his description of SBF was: a) absolutely damning! SBF's lack of empathy, hi

Sure, Boeing’s desperate attempts to “grandfather” in this plane under the original type certificate constituted the root cause for all this. My question here though was specifically whether, as the article alleges, MAX-specific simulator t

The Chicago School was criticised not only by behavioural economists and psychologists, though, but also by other (fairly orthodox, eg New Keynesian) economists [0]. This is not to distract from Kahneman's monumental contributions (man

Sure, the task is incredibly difficult. But aviation engineering is exacting and rule-based and slow and expensive (no "move fast and break things") for just that reason, and Boeing (and Airbus) basically got it right for decades.
