No offense, but the difference between someone being able to invest cash in a down market and the structural imbalances that allow the billionaire class to flourish (in any market) are markedly different things. We can both applaud people l

So is the answer: Applied with a big bank, get nothing. Applied with a small bank, got lucky if you applied early on April 3rd ? Edit: we applied with a small bank at 6am on the 3rd and got funds earlier this week.

The Diamond Princess likely had a very atypical (older) population than the general population though. The CDC is currently estimating an R0 of 5.7, which has likely been repressed by shelter in place orders. But even if it was only 4 befor

A very interesting one that's helped me understand a lot right now is Goliath by Matt Stoller. He frames todays economy in a similar light as the 1920s. Very compelling and interesting.

Totally agree. I find I have to load it, close and reopen the app about 95% of the time. Hugely bummed these two apps are going into the wastebin. Certainly leaves a huge void for us Android users.

Can't they set up an offsite hotbox to get rid of the bedbugs before it gets onsite? Surely someone could set up a mobile truck that can come, park, and heat up 15 mattresses for the few hours it takes to kill or drive off the bedbugs,

As a non-software person trying to learn to code, I'll say that Fred Baptiste's python courses are an excellent blend between practical and theoretical with very high information density. There are a few other good courses out the

Any way to subscribe to your development? I'd be willing/interested to beta test things. Any chance of actually doing something about the response to microsoft's query about using python as a macro language?

I have the same thing. When I'm aware of it, it's really loud and annoying. Probably 90%+ of the time I'm not aware of it though. Was never sure if this qualified as tinnitus.

As a non-data-scientist who does some infrequent data analysis in python, this looks amazing. But not something I think we can justify paying for with the amount of analysis I do. If this doesn't work out commercially, would you consid

Wouldn't it have to be a price drop for google to be out any money? It's a low price guarantee, so price spikes would only make them look good. Airlines aren't going to randomly drop prices to spite google...

Ok, that's fair. My original question was legitimately not a rhetorical question (although that appears to be how it's been taken). I assume Monsonto has some of the best legal representation out there, so I assumed if they couldn

I agree with that entirely. In fact, you can take it one step further and say that it is essential for freedom. One of the huge hurdles for many people leaving their jobs is health insurance. The other is money. If people don't need to

I think this is pretty misguided. 3% of $100,000 is $3,000. Many housing purchases will be more than that, but let's just talk over $3k. Some people will be very comfortable with dealing with negotiations, pricing their house (the quas
