I don't read this as a critique against the companies, but against the reliance on the fed's current mechanisms for impacting the economy.

Without advocating taxing any group too heavily, is there any evidence that this practice has ever created a brain drain?

I'm sure they do, at least to some degree. Sort of beside the point though - I don't actually care about the impact, good or bad, on Amazon. If I write a review it is to help a fellow consumer. If I think my review instead hurts t

I mean, if we continue with that logic you're actually providing it to your ISP, who does what they think will profit the most. That is, delivering it to Amazon. Who will then deliver it to others looking to buy that product.

Before anyone runs with your suggestion, it's worth pointing out that flaxseed is what people can use (which is a food-grade equivalent to linseed). And then before anyone runs with that suggestion, it's actually not a great way

Any possibility you're going to link to any of that sauce so we can decode it?

I tried to read it, to see what she did that was considered objectionable, but I couldn't get past the trite putdowns the article slipped in all over the place about lefties and millennials. I was three pages deep before I gave up.

My grandpa once fetched cigarettes for Von Neumann. Which is to say, he basically invented the computer.

Bayesian statistics are mathematically perfect, as long as your priors are true. Unfortunately, they are not.

huh... I've done a fair amount of home buying and selling, and I've never heard of taking the appliances with you. By plumbing, do you mean toilet? Does the buyer just expect to bring their own toilet from the last house? What a l

It sounds like you're not the target audience of either the paper or the twitter thread.

What about twitter threads from well-respected researchers in the field? What about a poorly-designed study (for the reasons pointed out in the thread)?

by skj 8y ago
It's reasonable for a twitter thread to point out methodological issues in a study even without prior credibility. If the original research were in a twitter thread rather than a publication, it would be unreasonable to consider it ser

> In fact Google's top employee, Jeff Dean, manages nobody. Not true. He has VPs as his direct reports and thousands of indirects. Maybe it was true at one time, even in recent years. But not now.

Defaulting to AND means that you aren't just searching for the most common term in your query that drowns out the rest. Also, adding terms narrows the query down rather than making it more general. This behavior strikes me as far more

I feel like his most valuable customers don't want to leave a 'like' trail all over instagram, and they're most likely to be lurkers who buy things rather than lookers-on who can only afford the 'like'.

That's an odd distinction and almost certainly not one that was made by anyone else in this conversation.

I don't think it's fair to use the label "pre-existing political barriers" when talking about being able to convince people that your ideas and vision are worth the cost it takes to implement.
