So if this has the potential to change the future energy economy, what are some good investments to make now? Should I be looking at SolarCity, who sell the panels, or the energy companies like Sempra, PG&E, Edison? Something else?

First, correlation is symmetric between effects and their causes, while causation is not. You may as well replace the phrase "correlation implies causation" with "correlation implies effectation". For a careful treatment

There appear to be a lot of shots taken behind the basket - even as far back at the 3 pt line. Is this a mistake in measurement?

Developer here. Samsara grew out of my work at Famo.us where I was its Chief Architect. It's goal is to think of layout as a stream, and to create user interfaces by composing streams. Happy to answer any questions.

What I like about the effective altruist movement is the research they provide. What I don't like is the cultish behavior, and inherent bias that what I think is good is "universally" good. Effective altruism is nothing more

People without at least a masters in math are in no place to make commentary on math. 98% of the time it makes me cringe. That being said, pure math is when you invest in the tool, applied math is when you invest in the problem. There is a
