There are two preconditions for performing the analysis the same way. You need a standardized set of roles between companies. And you need a corpus of existing org-charts. Between those two, you could compute the "most common" org

I didn't understand that part. Sure, a conventional demolition, where debris is carted off to the landfill wouldn't work in this case. But surely onsite burning would do the trick?

What about the most traditional business of a bank: providing security and paltry interest for deposits, intermediated by the bank, as capital for loans. Now DeFi can certainly do each of these, but crucially the traditional system also dec

Many members of my family run our own small businesses, and have given similar advice. Always either do your own bookkeeping (or heavily review and understand the work you have done) but then pay for the for not only the processing of tax b

We can push the question further back. In the abstract, we can say that some form of evolution is going to occur whenever you have imperfect replication. That is the only criteria needed, and the "rules" emerge naturally such a st

While we might dismiss human notions of a god, independent of humans, there still are cosmological details to the universe that do not have tidy answers. There is no reason to believe that advances in the understanding of the creation of un

I agree, the argument always seem to be some kind of inductive reasoning stemming from the presumption that unequal representation is not only a bad thing, but causally due to either past or present racist actions. This seems very facile to

Because those have similar uneven racial distributions.

The problem is the reality that outcomes on standardized tests show very different distributions for different racial categories [1]. If you focus on the tests, you will get strongly undesired outcomes. So the admission process needs to fin

Wow, I looked up the data to refute this, but it was worse than I presumed: https://www.brookings.edu/research/race-gaps-in-sat-scores-h... My initial thought was we could just have a floor. We don't need to ensur

This is the realm of perception not reality. The perception is that RSS has been deprecated like java applets or activeX controls. I'm not convinced we need to "rebrand RSS," but we do need to have some activity demonstrating

Salespeople are people too. They deserve some courtesy until they step over a line. I will always try to be polite on my first reply, if the salesperson actually wrote me something directly. If it was just a spammy mail merge blast, then I

If we use the term brand to mean, "reputation," then yes, adoption is a function of reputation. Reputation can be justly granted (due to things like the functional value it provided) but it also can be disparaged regardless of the

I think that would depend on the frequency the tax assessment occurs, and under what kind of legal structure. If your whole neighborhood is in the midst of a multiyear construction boom, then maybe that gets factored in. But if we are talki

You would also need to consider if you changed any purchase habits. If you comparison shop, or focus on buying whatever cut of meat is on sale, or similar, then you might actually be buying a different distribution of items.

I'm not sure if this is the case with these data sets, but one common difference that causes confusion are current advertised rates vs total inventory. It could both be true that apartments on the market cost 17% more, but all rents (i

Another model is having a government run project, with all the employees direct hires of the relevant government department. Though that has its own downsides. One model I haven't heard of, is the government as general contractor, hiri

Neither is microsoft. They aren't deliberately adding security bugs to their software. They just are doing a crap job of building secure software. You could argue they don't have the right incentives to fix that problem though.
