>I think we should revisit the policy of an actual forced savings account - rather than the bad proxies for it: social security, home equity, 401k. I think social security is a far better setup than forced savings account. The fact that

So this guy had a few twitter exchanges with Luigi and he thinks the US healthcare system isn't that bad? Doesn't really seem like an article for HN. But as long as we're here I think, sort of like Luigi, I'll let other

10 people died from the Boars Head contaminated meat. I guess I don't really mind if a few lawyers chase those ambulances and extract a lot of money out of that company?

I thought the issue was deregulation? Something like Trump rolled back some rules about oversight and then Biden never put them back into place? Does the USDA even have the power to fix this? Anyways, having a pregnant wife right now, it&#x

If you're the only one that can come close. Kaggle competition prizes are about focusing smart people on the same problem. But it's very rare for one team to blow all the others out of the water. So if you wanted to make a busines

>characteristic of these use cases is that there is no one right answer I think what you mean is that they work best in cases where it's very hard to measure how well they are working.

Yeah but what made Twitter twitter wasn't really the usercount, it was the mix of established voices and complete randos mixing. If the journalists and economists and politicians go to Bluesky, it will win. I definitely don't thin

I mean what if it is a toss up? Were we talking about a literal, actual coin flipping, calling it as 50-50 is a better insight than calling it as either heads or tails.

I like the dashboarding more than the analysis lol. I think FL is just a red state now and positing it as anything else smells a little fishy to me. Also, I think there's a thing now where all sorts of analysts know they can get a name

Judging by my twitter feed, some scientists are starting to push back on the use of UMAP (and t-SNE.)

I still don't get the impetus or desire to make NNs work better for tabular data. Regression works pretty well and is easy to interpret/diagnose/work with. GBMs work really well (given a few considerations) and is trickier to

I actually think Nate is wrong on this, especially on how he states the wrong-ness of the two parts of the story. It seems very likely to me that initial death counts were overstated. But the probability that it was an Israeli bomb that wen

Ah, I saw a great tweet that captured a lot of my feelings about this the other day: https://twitter.com/InsightsMachine/status/17018601232984842... >“Data is the new oil.” Clive Humby, 2006 >“Most of my car

Maybe for two different definitions of conservative. But it seems easy enough to want to conserve something that the market will destroy, and to realize that one feasible way to do that is nationalization.

Have they been disproved empirically? I'm well aware of many theoretical arguments against central planning but I'm not aware of empirical work.

Politicization is a ratchet. The conversation has already been politicized, I don't think there's any avoiding it. Second, the discussion for all intents and purposes isn't even about Bob Lee, it's about crime in SF. Tha

I think the article misses the real dilemma. Think about all the firms who do payroll through Rippling, should those employees and firms suffer because of something they essentially knew nothing about? We want to avoid moral hazard but we a

>I would be happy to socialize that upside for higher limits on deposit protection. Glad we agree then, that's pretty much all I'm looking for.

Why should it matter whether it's deposits or equity or bonds? The instrument is irrelevant to the logic - if I have to back it on the downside then I want a piece of the upside too.

If we have to back them on the downside I want profit on the upside. Private profits and public losses cannot be the rules of the game.

Kind of annoying that the CEO is writing out details on twitter before they contact the affected companies...

Wow this looks absolutely awesome. I'll need to play around with it a bit but this would be huge for me.
