If you have not heard them, you might appreciate the old phrases: If you want something done give it to a busy person. And: The busiest person has time for everything.

I have seen general advice for creatives, and sometimes applied it, that if you want to have a creative day you should more-or-less roll out of bed into that work. You might have some fresh inspiration to follow and not lose. You have the e

Yes, and same situation in every mining-related commodity market. Multiple time delays of order several years. Large up-front investments. Large uncertainties in payoff. Look at the multi-year price behaviors in those markets and see too if

IIRC, generally a positive loop gain greater than one will lead to diverging behavior aka instability, whereas even a positive-sign to feedback, if loop gain is "less than one" will not. I might be brain-farting here, but I cannot

I wonder if Toyota was a little slower at starting to expedite, for having had a large buffer stock already in hand.

Should this be called the left-pad moment of just-in-time?

It does have negative external effects, as you observe, in the sense of a viscious circle. But even a viscious circle, mathematically, has positive feedback, resulting initially in a positive exponent growing against time, not a negative ex

I have wondered about a file format where a parser could be specified for [at the start of] each line. You could even have different json parsers with different well-characterized limits and relative speeds. Formats could change over time o

Haven't finished the article, but the human-interest part so far: Man refines memory techniques; dissapears beneath event-horizon of information density.

When I first heard the term "revising your notes" I assumed it meant the kind of synthesis you speak of, or at least finding errors in lecture material. No, apparently it just means looking at them again, at least as a minimum.

Based upon your description around plagiarism, I doubt a customary end-credit "to an anonymous reviewer" could have been enough.

> looking back .. minimally satisfies .. is hard to read Interesting. I wonder if there is an analogy to the first draft of a book. Everything needs "editing" -- that is a given. Some writing only needs line editing; some needs

My eyes, reading ahead, tried to read this as "give them three seconds to respond". Perhaps they were reading as far ahead as the rest of your comment.

You might be interested in older work by philosopher Larry Laudan. He posited mutual positive feedback (or co-evolution) between: a) better data; b) better models or theories; and c) better instruments. Basically agreeing with you. Likewise

Good general rule. However, if you are doing some kind of general economic modeling, with estimated parameters all around, not claiming to represent anyone's accounts or ledgers, I suspect an exception applies. "When you are deali

Same here to some degree, but my thought in years past was that I could read a purchased [print] book years later, and still express my appreciation (and compensate the author) with a purchase immediately.

Good observation. Packaging and handling? ... I'm not sure there was 74LS then. Perhaps not 74S. I associate nanosecond-trimming in 1979 with ECL.

There is a tool out there to combine markup-interpretation and mathjax (IIRC) for $ $ and $$ $$, applying them to the same <textarea> for translation onLoad(). I don't have a name for you right now to search for.
