My suspicion is that they had to find some ideological justification for writing about this cool project in a conservative magazine, so they probably just shoehorned those lines in there. I don't think this is a bad thing. The more c

I went to the ER last year. They ended up making me stay overnight. I was hit with a bill for over $10K, with much of that falling on me. I also used to work in corporate finance and I have a good intuition for how billing works. Before I

For more on Heidegger and any other philosopher, I highly recommend the podcast "Philosophize This", it's helped me understand philosophy better than anything else.

I think there's an important point here, but twitter is a terrible medium for making that point. Maybe if you have something important to say, don't say it on twitter.

I'm all for high speed rail, but why is it so expensive and why does it take so long to build? China has been able to build out a high speed network fairly quickly. Why is it that? Is it just because they're cutting corners?

I've wondered about this too. I have no idea why people never discusses it. I suspect it's an Illuminati secret.

Hmmm, I don't think that's what's going on here. I think the critics are making specific critiques relevant to the supposedly novel nature of Holberton and Lambda. While I was initially supportive of these institutions, I&#x

I partially agree. I think the ban is necessary in part because once we go down the route of private prisons we create massive economic incentives to push people into prisons and keep them there. These incentives will be on top of the inc

Not really. I would wager most consumers are actually under the impression fake meats are in some way healthier. The article is not particularly well-written or informative, but I don't think they're making a straw man argument.

If this is true can you blame the Israeli government? The US has an incredibly volatile, unpredictable president. Israel is a country surrounded by states that are openly hostile and the continued survival of Israel depends, in part, on t

I think this gets a lot right, but it's poorly reasoned. For example, the author talks about a "massive labor supply shock", but doesn't really address why this massive increase in labor supply wasn't offset by an e

I agree, but I think the "dating self" and the "facebook self" overlap a lot for most people. It's also important for a dating app to have critical mass. Almost everyone is on FB, only a fraction of those people ar

I think this is great as a self-assessment tool, especially for beginners. It would work great with other learning tools, like MOOCs, datacamp, dataquest.io, as part of an overall data science learning process. I'm more skeptical of it

Thanks for making that distinction. I think the purely libertarian approach has the risk to do more harm than good. Without education, social support, and access to mental health care, a drug free-for-all could very well lead to such disas

Yes, yes, the author probably is that obtuse. Articles like this are part of a tendency among some people to think that by taking a contrary position they are somehow more insightful. It's worth noting that Levandowski did not steal se

Other costs include vehicle depreciation, insurance, maintenance, gas, etc. Hubert Horan is an analyst who goes into these costs into detail. http://horanaviation.com/Uber.html

Well, those are charts. OK, I think the author is making some vague point about the collapse of the Bretton Woods system leading to the surge in inequality. On a superficial level that looks to be what happened. And indeed something big ha

I would have a lot more sympathy for Levandowski if he had taken trade secrets and created his own company. But he didn't take the engineer/entrepreneur route. He took the corporate espionage route and just stole stuff from one co

No she's not. She's not a serious academic and nobody who studies Lacan, Derrida, and Foucault would take her seriously. She's a propagandist and entertainer. She's not even a popularizer of complex ideas because I ho

Doesn't Palantir also contract with Middle-Eastern governments that are not exactly known for their outstanding record on LGBTQ affairs? If so, I'm surprised that that concern wasn't brought up.

Right tool for the job. Sometimes it absolutely makes sense to have input/calc/output on the same "sheet" or set of "sheets." Unfortunately, most people don't know how to set up a spreadsheet in a way that

I agree that people waste a lot of money on solutions without really understanding the problem. I think the solution is rarely automate with VBA - however, using Excel with a little bit of VBA can be a useful first step on prototyping what

I would still go with a major CRM. It's not so much about having a great product as it is about having software that a lot of people already know how to use. Even if people don't like the major players at least they're fami

Improve the global economy especially through more free trade and more migration. That will help more people afford everything, not just the internet. There's other solutions too, like reducing corruption and cost of doing business in

Just to clarify, infra costs are under COGS because infra costs can be directly attributed to production of what is being sold, not because they're variable. You can have fixed costs in COGS as long as they're directly attributab

I am skeptical. >I was surprised at how much online dating has displaced the help of friends in meeting a romantic partner. Our previous thinking was that the role of friends in dating would never be displaced. But it seems like online d

Interesting. Some of the benefits of decriminalizing can probably only be realized if it's done as a national level, so I'm pretty skeptical of just how successful local initiatives can be. I wonder how Portugal achieved such sup
