RSUs for rank and file employees usually vest over time (e.g. quarterly), so you keep any that have vested but lose the rest.

In this case it really is not evidence of an absence of an effect. In fact it should increase your belief that the treatment has an effect (e.g. if you did a Bayesian analysis), since the treated group did have lower death and ICU usage tha

It is weak evidence for the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine. e.g. if you ran this as a Bayesian analysis you would find that these results should shift your beliefs towards it being more likely that hydroxychloroquine reduces deaths + I

I really like the idea and your implementation. One request: I wish I could search for art by artists who are women or underrepresented minorities.

Agreed. Most money is digital money held by banks and businesses. Even with paper dollars, something like 95% of the paper money supply is in $100 bills, which the typical American only rarely uses. Most Americans are not representative of

It's a bit hard to say for sure since it is all classified info for the most part. This article cites one of the creators for claiming it could last for years https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/novicho

There are solid/liquid forms that persist for much much longer. Look at the efforts UK went through to clean up after the chemical attack in Salisbury (which was a liquid in a perfume bottle).

The problem is that the actuarily "fair" price of these loans is very high because the risk of non-repayment is very high. If 25% of people don't pay back a loan, then you need an interest rate of at least 33% on the 75% who

It depends. Roughly speaking the revenue is (Largest transaction you can cash out at exchanges) * (1 - (The decrease in value of the currency you attacked)) + (Block rewards earned). Basically you get someone to give you cash in return for

I think most people save under this extension even if they are using a different kernel (i.e. they are running R, Julia, Matlab, etc. code in the notebook).

I found this to be very interesting. FWIW the author Eric Budish is one of the top economic theorists. Whether or not that means you should trust his analysis is left as an exercise to the reader.
