I realize it may have been an offhand answer, but what do you have in mind? Go get a graduate level understanding of biochemistry? Start working with genomic data? Etc.

It's odd to have an acronym that includes Netflix but not Microsoft - I'll give you that.

This headline is dishonest. I’m not getting my $125 because the settlement fund is dramatically too small. It looks like I’ll get about $6. If the attorneys got absolutely nothing, that number would be maybe $8. So attorney fees are <2%

My objection to flying on an American or United Max8 is the American or United part, not the Max8.

I've been pretty happy with it, although I find that I don't have time to read the volume of pieces they recommend with the paid tier.

The religious wars within the cryptocurrency community are fascinating to watch and are the single biggest reason I doubt we'll ever see a meaningful use for cryptocurrency or blockchain other than speculation.

I was thinking of both of those (considering killing it + the 2023 deadline) as a single leak.

I think you underestimate how political Google has become internally.

I can't imagine a more damaging leak for Google Cloud. A company that's already notorious for abandoning projects now has a public date for when they'll abandon cloud. How could anyone in their right mind start building on GC

I'm a strong advocate for improving access to experimental cancer therapies, particularly because a drug I got access to pre-approval may have saved my life. Cancer patients should have easier access to novel therapies, and novel thera

6 people were killed paragliding in 2017 in the US. There haven't been any US fatalities on the 737 Max (which is the group I'm interested in, since I'm willing to believe that there are relevant differences in pilot qualit

Surely a 737 Max is orders of magnitude safer than a paraglider...

There's not a whole lot of evidence for an impending recession.

When I interned at a prop trading firm for a summer, I noticed a few copies of Meddling Mage lying around on an unused desk. Turns out that the guy who designed the card (as a reward for winning the Magic Invitational) had previously worked

I get the point, but this is pretty heavy on cliches. Also, when a startup fails, a bunch of people lose their jobs and have to scramble to get their lives back on track. If an entrepreneur walks away from that saying "That wasn't

If there's anything we can all get behind, it's the idea of the government controlling everyone's access to the internet.

RCTs are obviously a valuable tool for economics, and it deserves a bigger role than it's gotten historically. After the Nobel Prize, RCTs will probably get more attention than they merit for a while. Ultimately, there's a very li

I believe it’s “land” in the sense of “land a fish” (or a prize in general) which is a less common but legitimate usage.

Having an algorithm memorized? Probably not. Being able to select the correct algorithm for a particular problem? Absolutely.

That's a really good point and not one I had considered in the context of everything that's happened recently. McKinsey has been involved with a lot of bad stuff internationally over the last decade or two. Monitor's work wit

Ha - one bit of irony here is that it was actually United, not Delta, that removed the doctor from the plane. That's another angle in these situations. People remember the outcry, but not all of the details.

This article is based on a survey of experts that was conducted in May 2018 [0]. Many of those experts cited monetary policy, and the Fed did indeed raise rates three times over the remainder of 2018. However, the Fed has subsequently cut r

In a narrow sense, you're right. But even if a college isn't directly profiting on an program, there are a couple things to consider: - If a university is breaking even on a program but its donations are captured on a different pa

My preference would be for a world where college athletes were genuinely student-athletes: held to the same academic standards as other students while genuinely acting as amateur athletes. But that's not the world we live in (particula
