Wow, actually slightly shocked how seriously this model seems to be taken or, at least, how sticky it is. Coefficients, dynamics, number of entities involved, stationarity. There are so many unknowns and so many reasons to believe incomplet

Tbh I would be more excited about that headline.

There's a job for deed poll.

by conjectures 5y ago
That sucks, but perhaps worth considering switching it up on the jobs front. Guess it's something of a function of where you live, but e.g. in London there will be plenty of companies with a better experience.

Sidecar pattern in k8s here ;)

by conjectures 5y ago
+1 Just for the name. Side quest is exactly what such a thing should be called.

Depends how you define 'good for the country'. Upwards pressure on skilled wages due to increased demand rather than brain drain sounds like a decent place to be.

Wow, sounds both harsh and an ineffectual way to go at life.

> other way Undoubtedly there is, e.g. steel making - with the attendant logistical challenges. But few ways to fairly directly convert electricity into money.

14 years? Rapid. Brits have spent 14 years on planning permission for Heathrow expansion :D

You dodged a bullet there then at least :)

Blitzstein is a good lecturer. I think I did this course back in the day.

Interesting points here. But, in round 2 of these dynamics, and if the article is true, it means ~ every team contains a sacrificial lamb. So, rolling with the hypothetical 'team of 10' approx 10% of your payroll could be spent o

Maybe someone needs to start a Firee-as-a-Service agency.

There's a phrase coined for this: Goodhart's law. C.f. http://rationallyspeakingpodcast.org/240-goodharts-law-and-w...

by conjectures 5y ago
Yup. The thing that's disturbing about this is that someone senior must understand Goodhart's law in the company. Which makes it more likely the side-effects are, in fact, intended.

Don't know, but putting numerical values on follower count is not likely to be that useful cross-platform due to differences in engagement level, demographics etc.

Never really occurred to me to read the feed on LinkedIn. I've liked about 3 things ever from people I actually know. I get a fair number of interview requests through it though so it would have some value as a recruiting tool. Let&#x2

Whatever it is, it should be antifragile though.

Yes, in UK mine was terrifying. In all likelihood candidate would get destroyed trying that tactic.

Scientists and journalists of science taking each other apart in public circa 18 months after something started isn't remarkable. It's actually what should happen. The author can pick apart declaration of interests in The Lance

> I'm sure operators will push back on 'under one brand' You're probably right, but I don't think they'll succeed. Everyone and their dog can see that TFL has worked well compared to the rest of the country.

Seems like a variant of the Fundamental Attribution Error. Explain in terms personality something caused by situation.

It's not about that. It's about whether it's a 'stable' solution or not. It's the same reason why most of the chocolate sold isn't fair trade and there's often modern slavery produced beans in mainstr

Again, investing in passive index funds avoids most of the deli-style shenanigans. More policy based decision making, less judgment calls.

I'm glad you found a place, but I think this amounts to help to buy incrementing N.

by conjectures 5y ago
It's very simple. If you have N house-seekers and M house-sellers then when N >> M: houses get expensive. Given it's hard to change N, raising M implies building more houses. In the UK the equivalent of 'zoning' re
