It’s basically just index match with a sensible default for match’s matching argument. Good stuff. Took too long to make an official implementation of this but glad it’s here

I think this is good as a way to filter people out, but not as a way to rank people to find the best. I would want to see a short script to clean and predict a dataset, plus a small description of why choices were made. Wouldn’t care much a

This mindset is why I think negative rates are going to mess things up. People aren’t going to behave rationally. If you want to save the rational choice in this situation is to accept a small negative rate that is secure although slightly

I don’t understand how these ideas can mix. If schools are super competitive and the good economic opportunities go to only the top x%, where x is smallish, then most people do not get x. I can’t see it being suicidally bad if this the mos

Why do you believe that the woman owes the man anything after ending the relationship? A woman is not obligated to feel emotionally conservative just because her former partner does.

I don’t have any way of comparing this beyond anecdotally but... I’ve dated one only person and for many years. I’ve never had the chance or reason to use online dating. But I feel like most of my friends who do enter committed relationship

Are wages really rising for the target market of Popeyes?

I’m no philosopher but this sounds incorrect. You can prove that many things couldn’t exist, and therefore prove that it doesn’t exist. Like an integer greater and less than 0.

> “everyone knows what 4 / 6 /89 signifies” This annoyed me quite a bit. No I don’t. Most people probably don’t. It’s the date of Tiananmen Square.

I’m fine with this. Keanu’s action movies tend to have action that is actually creative and enjoyable to watch. Most fight scenes are really quite boring, but I’m happy to watch John Wick kill people for a few hours. The Matrix is a good se

Or they could just give stable dividends and stop growing which is honestly completely reasonable for a company that makes most of its money on super passive activities like google. Google is growth oriented because it has so much money tha

I know people are concerned about using gene drives on native species, but why don’t we use it against invasive species. Lantern flies in PA seem like a good example.

Why is that a perverse incentive? If the baseline is that it’s illegal to sell such things to kids, then this seems like a roundabout way to hire kids as a forcing mechanism to make companies really careful not to do this.
