Good point. I would say that even if we know how funding works we cannot predict the future. We do not know what circumstances will prevail at the time actions/decisions need to be made. With the best of intentions it is still possible

Good project. I think it is unfortunate that we pay too much attention on such promises/predictions. We should treat as we do horoscopes, palm reading, etc. Nobody knows the future. I think we can make some broad educated guesses. At t

That seems like a reasonable approach. Do you recruit directly or do candidates get vetted before they get to you? I get the sense that in many hiring flows, the candidate would have to go through some gatekeepers first. They may be the one

Interesting article. This statement made me chuckle :-) "I think Jeff Bezos is going to offer the COVID-19 test as part of Prime membership. I think that’s where we’re headed." Slightly off-topic but hilarious nonetheless!

I didn't see much scraping on that site. It just looked like regular calls. Maybe the API is not as clean or consistent as it could be. But anyway I did a quick search for Alpaca. This the one you meant: https://alpaca.marke

I'd say it's even more basic than that. What I take from it is how to avoid ruin and potentially profit from the tail event. I don't see it as a means of increasing wealth even though it can have that effect. It's about

That's true. I wonder if the actual objective is insurance. In the good times you lose out. But you don't mind because it's insurance against bigger losses when things go south. As an example it is reported that the organiser

You make a valid point. However I think that a significant section of the population would dedicate their time to other things. Even if robots could do those things better. E.g. music, art, philosophy, wood carving, knitting, gardening, etc

Sounds plausible. It may be premature to assess the relative impact of covid-19 in those nations. Hopefully you're on to something though...

You make a compelling case for more people to opt to working from home given the choice. I wonder in all of this whether or not we might be losing something. I'd say that co-location (and possibly commuting) are a part of a larger ecos

I can relate to the frustration. The one observation I would make is that the US is not Singapore. Singapore is a relatively small city-state, run by a benevolent dictatorship and with relatively recent experience with other corona viruses.

It might also be the case the the Italy (the north in particular) suffered from a larger influx of people with the virus from China or elsewhere to begin with. This means that they're starting with a significant handicap. I think this

I don't think its about the grammar. It is about how the cause of death is recorded. From what I understand if someone died having been tested positive for the virus in Italy the death is attributed to the virus regardless of any other
