shot percentage is a pretty arbitrary stat. a .350 batting average is also very good. a .900 hockey goalsave percentage is abysmal. to keep with the sports metaphor, you can always move your goalposts.

"the law under which you are suing does not exist" but short of one of these it's pretty easy to make a plausible case. the standard in civil cases is 'preponderance of evidence' rather than 'beyond a reasonabl

Well, we talked about using cross-validation and the bootstrap/bagging methods. I was surprised that he hadn't heard of these ideas, much less using. Deep learning variants are definitely farther out; I think the current lack of i

the argument i've heard is that the highway expansion made it possible to live farther away from cities, and the connection with the nuclear scare is that the highways were constructed with transporting nuclear weapons in mind

Amazon has a history of hiring MBA's - they hired a ton from HBS before the crash - when other tech companies didn't. Maybe it's Bezo's Wall Street background.

Amazon is in great financial position, but they reinvest all net revenue. So I guess they don't qualify as constant profit (now) but they count as growth, with eventual high profit

Yeah, I guess my perspective is different since I'm younger, and I'm drawing upon what my friends do/did as MBB interns (or bulge bracket/boutique finance). One thing that stood out is that a good number of them this sum
