Your personal meteorologist presumably predicts rain on days in the future, when it could happen, not days in the past. Nate publishes predictions for events that will never occur pr(x wins | election today) when there is no election. It wo

I struggle to understand why you would want to use it instead of array orientated languages like R, Julia, Matlab or Python/numpy. When is terseness a feature? It must make maintenance a nightmare.

You never been out for a meal with a rich person huh? Guarantee you a rich person (where rich is $50m+)can get that table faster than the b-list sitcom actor who is in front of her in the queue. She dosnt need a CV, just needs her wallet.

Money seems to have all the benefits of fame and few of the disadvantages. Having $100m in the bank confers all those advantages without being harassed on the street.

I wish billionaire do-gooders like Gates or Buffet buy Elsevier etc. set the knowledge free and restructure how they do business. Sadly this would cost a fortune. RELX, the owner of Elsevier has a market cap of $42 billion. Can a 51% owner

Elbakyan is a hero, but it seems like if anything happens to her sci-hub will die. Her writings in the past appear to make her seem she is at least a little anti-social, so I don't hold out much hope of her creating a team. As others h

Notion looks great. I was hoping your comment implied it support latex math but unfortunately not.

I know this is the last thing you are worried about right now, but could you at some point look into tasker integration. Its really easy to provide a tasker interface. I would love to be able to control when 1.1.1.1 connected.

Maybe I will have no choice but to switch. In the meantime when my MacBook air died I opted to buy a used 2015 Pro instead. So they are indeed losing out on my money. I used to upgrade every two or three years. Its been 5 years since I boug

I really, really want to upgrade my 2015, and really don't want to switch to a non-mac. Apple is not getting a cent until they fix the hardware.

You did compare whaling to fishing, and with a straight face compared whaling to hunting small/medium animals and to halal methods of killing animals. There is no comparable suffering of a mammal that the cruel and draw out method kill

Whales are not fish, nor are they harvested like fish. “If we can imagine a horse having two or three explosive spears stuck into its stomach and being made to pull a butcher’s truck through the streets of London while it pours blood in the

I am not saying you should not be proud of Indian progress, but I suspect the experiences of a businessman in a big city in India are vastly different to a low caste woman with TB in rural India. A friend of mine is a nurse who did social w

You probably want "old fashioned" regression models if you want to understand which predictors affected survival and how they affected it.

Is one bacteria landing on your tongue, being sucked up your nose or inhaled into your lungs going to do anything? Are there any bacteria and virus that can kill with just one making contact?

Eritrea has a very high per capita pro cycling representation. Higher than the UK, France and Spain, and more far behind Italy. I always wondered why that was so.

I was making a point about not buying news organizations that are peddling clickbait. I don't think my choice of subscriptions illustrates the point that I am a consumer who buys news that suits my point of view. You are making the ass

I think the problem is that some sites are charging for low quality click bait journalism. I am not going to pay for NYT or WP or the many magazines I used to subscribe to and dont anymore. I will pay for WsJ, The Economist and Bloomberg.
