If you read beyond the headline, the article explicitly addresses this. The hypothesis was that firms invest in innovation in busts, when the opportunity cost is lower. The study finds that it’s nuanced and it depends on the industry. Too c

In my experience the only thing that works is competing offers.

I’m unclear about two things: - This seems like it’s a big problem for small startups, but a complete non-issue for FAANG. So why are the FAANGs doing such aggressive layoffs? - Why is this in the public discourse until just now? Until a fe

Why is that? Is Boyd not considered a serious source?

Lyn Alden is an example of a person who thinks being contrarian for the sake of contrarianism makes them look smart.

Will the fines be large enough to matter? The headline number of 570M looks like pocket change.

Is this true? When I looked into this issue it seemed the medical consensus is that fat cells are mostly constant throughout life, and weight gain happens through adipocyte hypertrophy.

I’m confused why you think a voluntary sale is the only possible way it can be “sold”. What if they seize the US operations, which are headquartered in LA, and sell those seized assets?

I wonder if the US govt would be willing to go as far as seizing the US operations, which are headquartered in LA. I take your point that the PRC is threatening ByteDance, but what is to stop them from being menaced over here as well?

"Pontifex Maximus" was originally the high priest of Jupiter in Rome, dating all the way back to the Roman monarchy and before the Roman republic. "Pontifex Maximus" is currently the official title of the pope (in a sens

I think the thing to note is that both of her primary partners were chiefs. I think such high-ranking men are probably not representative of the typical Yanomamo man. Rising to the top of such groups likely requires a good deal of psychopat

Frankly, he hasn't worked with any programmers at all. Gary Marcus is a retired psychology professor.

It might be technically true, but I don't think it would be true in practice . The difference is that: - Technically true means you will probably win any lawsuit they bring - In practice means that they will in fact bring a lot

Which controller do you use for Anki? Also, I assume the combo with LISS needs to be done on a treadmill? I heard of somebody who used an audio plugin, but my cards are not so audio-friendly.

I would be delighted by this. Sounds like something Douglas Adams would dream up.

Where do you keep up with scientific papers now, if you don't mind me asking?

Regarding point 2, I think there's nothing "wrong" with it, mainly it's funny that they don't know how to do it themselves. Provides additional evidence that Google is outgunned in this fight.

My understanding is that Japanese investors will be slightly less motivated to buy US bonds. Since they are the biggest buyers, this will slightly dampen demand for US bonds. This I guess could play out a number of different ways--potential

I have not played this specific instance because it is being HN-hugged to death, but I've played this rule change before--there used to be a website that called it "xymyx". It was interesting because you could move pawns diag

I think it's remarkable that this article was published /before/ the FTX implosion.

It looks like the spike this December is already bigger than last year at the same time?

You’re correct, the author of the article was confused. Probably got confused because watermelon are related to crops that are culturally considered to be vegetables, like cucumbers. Another thread mentioned the same.

What about Scion FRS?

The premise of the quedtion is wrong--they do make these cars. See the Scion FRS. Also Subaru has a car that looks just like it, but I cannot remember the name. Also I would argue the Mazda Miata targets this style, and I have seen a Honda
