All food CPI is up 2.1% this year, housing of course is much more but that's what the article is about so where's the lie?

Is it actually true that online ads work better (more conversions?) on that demographic? How do you separate the confounding factor of the effect of age and income on preferences?

I wonder if their problem is that the majority of their traffic is unregistered users looking at NSFW subreddits. So they may not actually have that many users they could monetize in the first place.

You're thinking of budget hotels, but there's a smaller market of higher end "bed and breakfast" or "inn" style hotels that offer more amenities like an Airbnb but with less regulatory discretion. Those used to

That doesn't square with Goldman's bankers chopping up and retranching known low quality derivatives, submitting them to the rater, and not being surprised when they were rated far less risky than the same mortgages when rated in

If it’s the same risk then why does it pay more than T bills? Regardless, the issue is the misrepresentation, not the actual assets (which most people don’t believe add up to the total anyway, right?)

Just to put some data behind it, Monmouth found in June that 63% of Republican-identifiers and Republican-leaners believe Joe Biden only won the 2020 election because of voter fraud. Seems bad, but how does it stack up to faith in instituti

Maybe your choice of field was fortunate here, don't they say if you don't have your Nobel in physics by 30 you never will?

If you want arguments like these to be taken seriously, you really can’t use phrases like “free speech Nazis” to describe forum moderators. This isn’t a cogent argument or a thoughtful essay, this is contentless red meat for an audience tha

I'm not convinced this isn't explained entirely by compensation. There are perhaps a dozen large tech companies at which an only moderately remarkable engineer can make $500k a year right now. That number has gotten bigger every y

There's no mention of all the government assistance in terms of loans, infrastructure, subsidies, welfare programs for employee healthcare and retirement, etc. Maybe if other industries had as many entitlements they would make fodder f

I was trying to figure out why this comment rubs me the wrong way so much. I think it's how quickly it leaps to hostility and calling the user entitled, only because they shared their honest feedback. You say users aren't entitled

Just giving you a hard time... I do think the performance improvements alone make Julia a serious contender. I've seen a lot of valuable engineering time spent rewriting algorithms in C++ for scientists who know Python. To speed up the

If anything, Julia becoming popular with academics makes me extremely skeptical about its missing guardrails. Obviously anecdotal, but I have many years of experience working with academics and statisticians and I know to be wary when they

My bad, which version of Linux should Ritchie have been auditing in 1972?

This gets at the heart of why the problem is so widespread. Beginners are the last people you can expect to figure out how to install and use the “right” library. Watching someone learn programming (from actual nothing) is very insightful -

Those were dismantled for themselves being full of human rights violations though.

The technique is different too. This uses electricity somehow instead of the chemical methods that are typically what people call "cloud seeding".

Not necessarily, a large class of exploit has to do with manipulating the call stack.

Do you have any references for that? I’ve read a few informal attempts and nobody had compelling evidence that the protests caused increased transmission. Seems unlikely since they were outdoors, which is now known to be relatively safe rig

I think he’s talking about the DAO situation which was not a hack, the contract executed exactly as it was written. But it was also a long time ago.

This market isn't under-served at all. There are people tripping over each other to sell them investments in gold, reverse mortgages, commemorative Trump coins, shelf-stable buckets of food, really anything that you can put a sky-is-fa

This is obviously farcical because SF does not exist in a vacuum separate from the federal government or the desperately poor conservative areas that siphon tax revenues from the progressive cities. Let alone the fact that SF hyper capitali

Companies have assets and cashflows which could be given to shareholders in a liquidation. What you're describing is more like what's called a "binary option" which is actually quite similar to a lot of crypto projects.
