So it’s a feedback loop between ability and interest. With the two combined and progress registering people continue on. But what’s the wellspring of interest and is ability largely a gift or can it be cultivated?

Cool! Are you referring to the phantom types technique? I am interested in how you implement this in typescript. Do you have a blog post about it you can refer me to? Or even just a gist?

Great post. On the topic, the Bloomberg terminal is a dinosaur and is slow to start from what I remember but email and most of the features are pretty much instant in their response. There is plenty of resistance from customers to newer fe

That doesn’t seem like that big of a number for a large corporation that Slack is now. Tesla had a net loss of 700mm[1] last quarter. Their business is more capital intensive for sure but still. Just looking at a 150mm net loss and saying i

I would describe that post as propagating junk science. It’s cherry picking stats and skewing them. Odds ratio difference for pelvic organ issues for women who have a C section vs natural delivery. That’s just establishing strength of assoc

Your comment brings to mind a fascinating short story that follows this idea: http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm I am pretty sure I found it on HN a few years ago.

That introduces enough friction that I don’t want to bother buying there. I’ll just pay more and wait longer for a product I know is genuine. Oh, they’ve been banning customers for too many returns! https://motherboard.vice.com&#

The described strategy starts to fall apart when by offering FBA they lose control over quality of products being sold and credibility in their retail operations. The fact that I have to use things like FakeSpot puts me off from shopping on

How can you say that when there are numerous examples of assault and discrimination? From the very obvious assaults by frat boys to the fact that if a couple wants to have a child the woman is the one who is forced to take a career hit. I d

Very. The standard terminal product they offer is around 2K per month. You can buy just the data (as many third parties do) but that'll also cost a pretty penny. It's a great data source, but definitely not cheap.

I am not sure what you're talking about. What is the level of 70 for USD? Also, through what mechanism do you think rate will rise (real or nominal)? It'll have to be with a nudge from the FOMC which implements the monetary polic
