   I'm not understanding. Why is the OS a concern of this browser-based streaming application? I don't know anything about cross-platform support, so clearly I'm missing something. Is it cross-platform DRM? I'm admittedly i

    What is stopping TikTok from getting flavor-of-the-month'd as teenagers and young adults move to newer platforms? Edit: this is a genuine question I do not have an answer for and I'd like to hear some takes.

    Higher frequency transactions between high frequency traders trends towards zero-sum, or at-least very-near-zero-sum. It's a bit of an edge-case, but relevant for what GP is talking about.

    Certainly there's a mid-point between 'zero impact' and business-crippling.

    I took this class in-person before reading ESL. I'd say there's more overlap between this class (18.650) and the class textbook All of Statistics (Wasserman) than ESL. That said, ESL is a better companion than Wasserman if you wan
