Ehh, that might be a shallow search. The issue of limited supply runs throughout the piece: towns being surrounded by protected lands where building isn’t possible and NIMBYism.

Yeah, I initially heard it as attributed to Erdős, so the part about it being falsely ascribed to him checks out!

Ha. Now that you mention this, it's kind of surprising there aren't that many references to coffee in modern music (at least nothing this rhapsodic comes to mind anyway). Maybe the stronger stuff is more inspiring in the pop era?

Not just philosophers -- the quote that comes to mind for me is “a mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems.”

But they may buy them from an individual, not a fund, in which case there would be a net flow to funds. Not sure how significant these flows are.

Which is to say, yes, they're popular -- they're the vast majority of stock funds.

by dsizzle 5y ago
The title here is missing a key word compared to the source: it's stock funds that have had more cash invested, not simply stock. So it's true that every stock purchase has a corresponding seller, but the same is not true for st

The “rubber ducky” explanation isn’t bad because it tries to explain a character, but because it’s a bad explanation .

Ah, I was trying to find that article earlier today. (I searched "Sean Spicer data science Twitter" to no avail, ha.) Actually that piece also hints at an uneven understanding of these issues across the organization: > In one t

I've signed PDFs digitally overlaying a digital version in Preview on a Mac, which is free -- for all parties. I'm not sure how much more legal wiggle room there is for that version vs Docusign. Either way, as noted, DocuSign has

Do you have a reference for this? Is part of the rumor that not everyone in the organization knew this was happening?

"To anywhere" is a pretty broad claim, and no indication what that might entail. How does one save clippings to, say, Evernote? What is the significance of the links under "Support Site"? Some of those might be considere

Even if their ML model provided excellent predictions, another potential problem they may not have accounted for is adverse selection: the only takers may have been on houses whose bids were too high.

But they lost money last quarter while the market was still rising. Seems there was some problem with their prediction process.

I meant “file sharing” more generally not “torrents” specifically (I edited my previous comment). I don’t know what exactly happened to my computer but I suspect malware. While not inherent to torrents, it does seem inherent in sharing of r

Honest question: how much of the torrent content is corrupted in some way? I dabbled with file sharing back when Kazaa was a thing and I infected my computer to the point I had to reinstall the operating system and I "learned my lesson

Are there any other examples where an incumbent lowering prices in response to competition was a positive sign for the incumbent? I'm also trying to unpack "legitimize" to something more concrete... One possibility is that AW

What’s the concern with sit-on toilets? I get that conceptually it’s kind of gross, but it’s not like germs will seep through your buttcheeks. Doorknobs seem worse since you’re likely to then touch your face.

What does the end result look and smell like after it's done composting? How long does that take? I always thought composting toilets were mostly practical in trailers and other non-full-time locations so it's interesting you&#x27

Anecdotally I first heard this distinction from a Japanese person, that Japanese culture is more "collectivist" than in the US. The article includes general statements like this that also include Japan: > Generally speaking - t

Supposedly the group is more important than the individual in "Eastern" cultures, https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20170118-how-east-and-wes... so it's perhaps curious that Korea is the outlier in

In my hybrid office, the juniors are also mostly the ones going into the office, so maybe they've appreciated your point. I also observe that they are also the ones hanging out outside the office, so I would guess this is part of it to

I'm surprised to see someone like Scott use the word "prove" so much. Are we using that now as a shorthand for "provide good evidence and/or arguments"?

Might take longer than 50 years, but I would bet things go even further to simply "salmon" -- the not-lab-grown variety, that is, and same for other meat.

Copy-pasting the if/else code (step 2) and then executing resulted in it spinning for about 20 seconds before I lost interest and killed it. The "Hello World" (step 1) did complete, after about 6 seconds.
