Your statement aggregates across cities with different job opportunities and economic outputs. You need to look at specific cities with housing problems, and ask whether building more houses in that specific city would alleviate housing sh

In research, reaching the point of "writing down the problem" is already a huge accomplishment. What distinguishes the first-rate researchers and the second is their (1) ability to identify which problems are worth their finite ti

Because it’s a disease of unknown severity, and possibly highly contagious. You need to start worrying about it when 3 people have caught it, because if you wait until a “significant “ number of people have caught it, it’s too late to stop

“People” need to be better defined. In the case of pure math, “people” are your fellow mathematicians in your specific subfield or adjacent.

The issue of Bayes rule (it’s not really theorem) is that you have to concretely define your set of possible hypotheses beforehand. In the real world, there are unknown unknowns, and those can’t be put into the Bayes rule calculation.

Great write up thanks for your decade of work! R is still unbeatable for wrangling tabular data, visualising, and fitting complex models on tabular data (complex up to GAMs let’s say).

Maybe they will do the same for the majority of PhD programs?

They already use computers to make guesses to clean up the scan. A core part of processing MRI is the compressed sensing algorithm .

They’re “apologising” but really their ad did the job: people are talking about Apple and their new products. They’re not sorry, they’re happy.

If you read the standards it applies broadly beyond reviewers or editors. > A condition of publication in a Nature Portfolio journal is that authors are required to make materials, data, code, and associated protocols promptly available

So it’s okay now to publish a computational paper with no code? I guess Nature’s reporting standards don’t apply to everyone. > A condition of publication in a Nature Portfolio journal is that authors are required to make materials, data

Japanese and Chinese cuisine is often characterised by a split between home style and restaurant style cooking. If you buy a recipe book or watch a cooking show from Japan or in China, you will see many recipes that are probably unrecognisa

I can confirm some of the Chinese dishes are on point, such as the dim sums like HarGow, ShuMai, Cheung fun. I appreciate they don’t even bother with a recipe, and tell you where to eat it. This conforms with the Chinese eating culture: the

Just as a comparison. An assistant professor in UK makes about the same as a Harvard PhD student (50k).

Yeah it’s really ridiculous. The fraction of people whose opinions are worth listening to are extremely small even from people who “went to Yale”. So going to Yale is uninformative in whether his opinions matter.

What’s amazing to me is that US institutes are responding to these cries for help. PhD stipends at Harvard are increasing from 35k to 50k minimums. I have heard postdoc programs at Harvard now give 80k. It is almost a double from just the p

OP didn’t mean literally 1 percent. They meant as close to number 1 as possible, and never stopping even if they are number one. They are afraid that they would be discarded by society if they fall too far behind.

Simple for you is not simple for a beginner. For example, let’s say you wanted to write code in a language you did not know. Then these simple tasks can be accelerated because you’re not blocked by syntax errors.

You can imagine that a rent control set such that it will lose money for every property owner. In this case, there will be zero property owners who will offer their place for rent, leading to zero places available to rent.

It’s the unrecognized but genius artist fallacy: many great artists were unknown and poor when they did their best work. Therefore, since I am unknown and poor, I must be a great artist.

Why should Europe care where they are amongst this myopic ranking of “best tech hub”? Western Europe is a great place to live, raise a family, and retire. None of the tech hub countries are even remotely comparable to Europe in this sense.
