I know, if you overlay two Gaussians with different means and standard deviations... I get what he was trying to say (not that I agree the situation is so simple). Yes, I was being sarcastic. But to redirect, the point of my sarcasm is: wha

Ok, so Jamie Dimon says not to worry and Jerome Powell doesn't see the US exceeding 2% target rate for an extended period of time. Your Guardian link is about the market (!= economy) and quotes "Andy Haldane, warned that an inflat

Bogus in which direction? The Fed has had a 2% target rate for the last 15 years, I think, and has only exceeded it for a handful of quarters. Under what theory would giving people a few thousand dollars push it over 2% for any extended per

Who exactly thinks that inflation is going to happen? The nytimes had a crazy article the other day (well they have one everyday about inflation it seems), where the “inflation fears” are attributed to wall street and political commentary.

It's kind of hilarious because the big lesson I learned in the US military is that they have a great system for coordinating/motivating a whole bunch of average people into doing "big" things. I use this to motivate myse

It’s also a book about professionalization. Those who survive a phd, for instance, will absorb the ideals of the institution. A company like google (never worked there) needs an army of people to be creative but also stay in the lanes and n

I never learned Fourier analysis of boolean functions... but this result smells like an uncertainty principle.

I am curious about downvotes. This stuff is historical fact. I know someone else commented that my view is American, but the original article is about the (American) SEC... so... I will double down and show evidence from my home state: Penn

Some of the other replies are missing the fact that we can look at the history of why police departments were created: to break strikes and chase slaves. The historic record is clear that police were generally created to protect capital.

I was trying to be factual with a little sarcastic flair. My personal belief is that there shouldn’t be an alternate justice system within the university.

While I disagree with your framing (only slightly), it has historically been the case that university is where the upper class spends their early 20s with the content of the education not really having a bearing on the direction of the st

Yeah everyone says short sales have "infinite loss potential", but at some point the lender will recognize that those shares aren't coming back.

Besides being a joke, I was a dispersive PDE guy and so have a perverted idea of what the Schroedinger equation is. It’s common in that field to study a nonlinear variant. A u|u|^2 term, for instance, admits sech type solutions.

Lived in Renens and had three or four options for getting to my office depending on the weather. Could walk the whole way, walk two different ways to the light rail, or if raining hop on the bus next to my apartment. Good times.
