Legit question. Complicated topic. Yes, I think that happened and not clear the effect or extent of it. Capital income from housing is complicated and messy to study partly because of imputed rents. This leads to weird situations where expe

PS. If you think it would help and if you are able to post more info about the type of work your guys are doing, I'd be happy help answer questions you may have.

Where you located? Likely a local tutoring company can find one for you at the skill level you need. Others on here might have input on websites that do this. We use pretty advanced stats at work so I cold emailed a professor at a local uni

Congrats on the work so far. Fully agree with you that diverse backgrounds among founders are a huge help. Seen too many tech founders think about the business side of things much too late. Question: How did you determine you have an MVP an

Based on the first chart. Capital income from housing doesn't matter very much compared to non-housing capital income (check out how closely that latter is correlated). Also capital income from housing actually looks to be declining pr

Good news and bad news... Bad news is there is no unbiased news. Good news it is pretty easy to train yourself to see bias and remove/ignore it. And once you do reading the news becomes a lot faster. As you can skip sections or entire

I encounter this a lot at work. People needing more advanced stats skills for a new role and not having much training in it or if they did it was years ago. (I work in finance which has become increasingly quant and stats heavy - faster tha

The headline when I click the link now reads "Creating a Pastry Chef From Scratch" This also seems more accurate. Pastry chefs may be in demand, but it does not appear that experienced and trained pastry chefs are in some high d

There is a big difference between a for-profit school, like the University of Phoenix, and for-profit companies in the education space which work with all types of schools as vendors or sell directly to students. LeapFrog in the first parag

Sure. Just to make sure I'm the right guy, what area is of interest or what sorts of things are you looking to discuss?

Nice idea. Seems quite employee friendly and expensive for employers. I don't see it catching on beyond those "best place to work" type companies but will be happy if it does become an option. Frankly I'm surprised laws

Thanks, these are good examples. It's amazing how long some of these corrupt governments have stayed in power. Will be interesting to see what happens if/when there's a change in governance.

I don't see the point there. I couldn't find anything to watch on Netflix and canceled it a long time ago. There is no technical barrier for a la carte streaming of pretty much any movie ever made.

Just curious if anyone has recent examples where a region's standard of living has shifted to trend downward for any reason?

I agree on the chromebooks are at a different point in the product cycle vs macs. (I am also writing this from a PC). And it makes total sense for chromebooks to be destroying Apple this quarter! But if one is going to write an article sayi

Why would a company using a monthly subscription model pay to license the most expensive top-rated classic film catalogues? Why would you want them to? A big portion of the money you pay Netflix every month would then go to have indefinite

Bit of a click-bait headline. Article lacks data. e.g. Apple #'s don't appear to include iPads sales which do compete with chromebooks. Apple is likely shipping fewer macs, but "destroy" feels like an expensive word choi

Do you run a business with a DBA or will they be writing a check to you personally? How well do you know the client? I would be fair and honest when you do the consultation - in terms of what you charge and in terms of the feasibility part.

Nice job on this. And as Yahoo fails who knows what will happen to Yahoo Finance, so potentially very good timing too. One piece of feedback for the charts: being able to see the % up/down (over the dates selected) not just prices woul

Work in finance. I am curious about this topic too. I think it depends what you are selling and who the users at the fin services company will be (IT department? compliance? everyone? etc...)

It's ironic the author starts off saying they need to get more rigorous in their science and statistics. Then goes on to write a relatively short and not very rigorous overview of Bayesian statistics. Statistics and probability are dif

Hi, Firstly, cheers and congrats, it sounds like you are already doing good work. My 2 cents: Hold off just a second before finding an ongoing mentor. By 5th grade students can start to get a feel (might be this year or maybe next year) if

The article seems to acknowledge Silicon Valley is good and prolific at startups to the point of metonymy. SV is the standard way, and so you get descriptions like "Un-Silicon Valley Way" instead of say the "Atlanta Way"

This is the last sentence; might help you decide if reading this thing is worth your time: > "But why do searches for the words “color” and “restaurant” predict declines nearly as accurately as “debt”? Why do “labor” and “train” als

It looks clean from what I can see. I have tried a few of your competitors and tried to build internally and now back to using MS Office (which is bloated). I wish the photos were larger or there was a demo/walk-through without having

Why do people go to casinos? How does such a business even exist. People know the odds are against them and go and play anyway.

You are correct. Depending on one's definition of "very good" blackjack player it doesn't mean much. Casinos even allow players to bring those little instruction cards to the table while they play. I am not talking about

The Reuters headline and article are misleading. I was trying to help add context/some clarity based on what Bill actually said. But seeing the multiple downvotes to my comment, it appears I may have miscommunicated. I am fallible, and

The trading part is easier. Keeping clients/AUM is harder (ie clients leave to put their $ into other asset classes).

Financial markets have always been casinos. I think what Bill means is that central banks have now taken a seat at the casino's table. If a whale sits down next to you at the casino and starts playing unorthodox strategies and betting
