   Easy. He doesn't own the company, shareholders do, and he happens to be a shareholder. If you work for Microsoft, can you buy Microsoft shares in your IRA? Yes. This is why the IRS can't do squat about this. It's completely l

   Pelosi also owns somewhere between $5M-$25M of Apple stock. You'd think some notion of recusal would exist in the legislative process... https://www.opensecrets.org/personal-finances/nancy-pelosi/a...

   I have been in this situation. If you have this level of evidence, you absolutely do not need a lawyer. Let me guess, BWP Media? The minute they try to get a court to take the case, it'll get knocked out. (They know this by the way.) N

   Propensity score matching is probably the one area with the greatest utility. There's a lot of good literature on the subject and it's fairly popular in econometrics and health analytics.

    I think people are missing the point of this comment. The US invested heavily in BD, and now BD is being incorporated into a South Korean company rather than a US company. I presume this is mostly because US manufacturing industry is relati

    Welcome to the legacy of Rails! Jose Valim contributed heavily to that ecosystem back its heyday. Nearly all of the cultural norms like embracing "convention over configuration" came from Rails. Thankfully, Jose appreciates perfor

    So yes, there is a huge transitory supply shock that's inflationary. At the same time, there are structural labor and energy issues that in my view will contribute to longer term price strains but not of the 70s variety.

    People don’t go full sheep mode. They just invest in an ecosystem, and don’t want to waste time looking for a new hammer. Part of what has also kept Ruby lagging is also cultural. It’s not a language that was ever adopted by engineers but r

    Awesome work. I tried something similar a while back, but I gave up once I realized the memory requirements for Ruby numeric primitives make it near impossible to massage large data sets in Ruby. Pandas and numpy skirt this with custom nume

    You're conflating economic growth with efficiency. Economic growth is measured in gross domestic product . The total of goods and services produced in a given year. So as efficiency increases, you actually need to consume more to achi
