It's always strange to see the "orthodox" macro realtionship take precedent over emperical results (see article and figure 1 scatter plot: https://www.stlouisfed.org/publications/regional-economist/j

Perhaps an unorthodox way of looking at things, but it's very intersting take a step back to consider what 0 to low interest rates might accomplish for society: - Low interest rates mean it makes no sense to simply keep cash, it'

The irony is palpable: > I would rather this be read by a few people motivated to take action than by a broad audience who will find it merely interesting. In that vein, if you find yourself wanting to share this on Twitter or Hacker Ne

If you are on an iPhone, type: "ai." to get to the site. The trailing dot denotes the root of the DNS hierarchy and makes the domain "fully qualified". Otherwise it appears to fail a local integrity check if you try for

The idea of React is good - declarative, stateful, reusable components, etc. While the bloat of React and it's toolchain (and npm plugins) has become a mess. When you have 2^100 different plugin combos to do something, you have 2^100 i

Great looking site. For those who don't know/realize - this is the work of Kevin Systrom, Mike Krieger (and team?) - co-founders of Instagram. Statistically speaking - love that it has error bars and timeseries. Makes it infinitel

Great work here. Are you using the legacy AppleScript interface [0] provided to Messages? I built an iMessage bot a long time ago that would respond automatically to messages you sent it and save notes for me using that and found it to be p

Marketing your product that helps people be more productive in an unfortunate situation is not unethical or taking advantage of anyone. Every business needs a catalyst for people to realize you are solving a genuine problem for them. Embra

Great work creating a vibrant community in just a short couple of years! This is certainly a space that's only going to grow and you have positioned yourself well. As someone deeply interested/involved in the area, I have a few le

This was a very exciting title but a very dodgy article. It references two independent areas of active research but concludes one doesn't work in practice yet and the other (which is buried in this report [0] from Columbia from 2013) w

The search term you are looking for is Shannon Entropy [0]. That should set you in the right direction. Put in layman terms - your best possible entropy is a case where every allowed character appears with roughly the same chance (i.e. ther

This is a nice idea - it brings focus to the job process especially for people who are just getting started and can get overwhelmed by all the options on a standard job board. I have two comments though from a practical perspective: 1. If t

If you have a range (-inf, inf) and you split it at some random C, even though there are still infinite values on either side, the probability you choose another number on the left side of C is (p) and on the right side is (1-p) regardless

This is a super facinating observation. At first it does seem very counterintuitive but after a little examination, the resulting probabilities make a lot of sense. For sake of easy math, pick C, your threshold, to be fixed at 0, which is h

Your intuition is correct. The Merkle root (hash of the root node) is only useful as a summary of the whole hash tree structure. The clever idea here is not that the tree itself is encoded in the Merkle root but rather that the root is a un

I would venture a guess that even the most technically savvy users who could set up their own mailsever now, still flock to "Big Mailer Corps" for the easy to use mail client filled with useful AI features, etc. and that even in
