Isn't "self-serving narratives" an unobservable? Aren't you heading down the path of your self-described pseudo-science?

There are four numbers to compare, salary_SF, salary_GR, living_cost_SF, living_cost_GR, and two obvious ratios you could take. You chose to divide salary/living_cost for each, but you could also divide salary_SF/salary_GR for rat

That's not true for California at least, http://lao.ca.gov/LAOEconTax/Article/Detail/265 Nor for SF itself, "San Francisco had a 2017 net domestic migration of -2,332." according to https:&#x2

I'm curious what will happen with PyMC... incorporate another library? Is there an easily swappable library that does what Theano does?

This is interesting. I don't have an intuition on how well this could work on different problems. Do you think this approach would work for something, let's start simple, like ballistics neglecting rotation of the Earth and drag?

There are two ways that things can be reproducible: reproducible in practice and reproducible in principle. You are stating that you have a computation that is reproducible in principle (just in practice, unfeasible). I find this an easy an
