Obviously I’m 20 years past university and nearer being the paying parent, but why oh why should university “capture the value of data”. They should offer affordable education (if you believe in the value of tertiary education) and affordab

Another point is that SES has been available as granular data for a lot longer than micro data regarding what are probably (?) drivers of SES. (I once graduated on micro data.) You’d want micro data on health, education, social relations an

The thing is that if you monitor your urine color (and act upon it) you are already managing hydration? My mother in law was hospitalized twice for dehydration. She is mindful of it and still some days she doesn’t drink enough. Drinking is

Do you know if that metallic taste is considered (in-)healthy? I have no clue and actually like that taste and must admit that in the steel for everything department I’m following the trends as well (steel for cooking - no PFAS; steel for d

Dehydration is more of a risk to you than the environmental risks you marginally save on others. Still I applaud the effort since the economists view is too restricted. Get a stainless steel container and hydrate for a lifetime.

Auditing a firm is not an act of charity. It’s a contract. Binance has either asked zero accountants to audit their billions in reserves, or zero have taken the job. Mazars international probably got scared and leaned on the partner. The au

Exactly. Please, pretty please, use all my memory for even trivial tasks. Just make my system snappy and carry me while under load. I've got 16 cores, please use them. Use them a little bit smartly since I pay for power. Perhaps, don&#

I saw those plots and I think there is a false comparison. No way the Lehman plot is at the same level of granularity as the FTX plot. My firm is mid-sized European insurer. We have a chart with low hundreds of entities. Most arise from com

How would this work out in US bankruptcy court? My first reaction is that contracting on insolvency events is pretty stupid, since there is no more money or firm to pay you. But perhaps things work differently?

Cast iron, one nice big aluminum frying pan and a few soup kettles. Anybody here still using the other stuff: I’ve converted my three best friends with gifts and zero complaints. It’s so easy, don’t fear the stick! (Two types of sticks: the

Best thing I’ve ever read on PCA is Madeleine Udell’s PhD-thesis [1]. It extends PCA in many directions and shows that well-known techniques fit into the developed framework. (Was also impressed with a 138 page thesis in math that is readab

I think you’ve shown equivalence? 100 shareholders own ($1 cash + $99 in stock) or 99 shareholders ($100 in stock) and one former shareholder ($100 in cash). (Not trying to be snarky here. Appreciate the answer.) Gone out for a reputable so

Could you explain why buybacks lead to higher stocks as opposed to dividends? I though they were (theoretical) equivalents.

In my locale the installer does just that. Install. Perhaps some calculation in order to sell you a bigger capacity, but certainly not optimization. Even talking about optimization with only high school physics with the people like installe

I fear this man has the youth in him many of us won’t discover and permanently fear we’ve lost. It is great that he found it though!

To be fair, those € 1200 for music via Spotify are easily dwarfed by the about 100 cd’s I bought as a teenager ten years prior. There’s no chance I would have spent this little for physical copies. Especially for more niche music (say, clas

Being a kid has changed drastically in the last 5 years. A combination of the pandemic and technological change I think. Even five years ago the 10 year olds would meet in groups with mixed gender at the playground. I was playing with my sm

I agree. I was thinking about granularity / specificity but wasn't able to form a coherent train of thought. I'll give it a try. In my part of the world rents are often very naively indexed, say with CPI or CPI+. That is curr

Different companies using the same AI for pricing support purposes could easily tip into illegal practices if there is a feedback loop from company to model. That’s just plain old collusion via a middleman. Lo and behold: “To arrive at a re

I would put Listen on top of the list before anything in sales. The colder the sales get, the harder it gets and the better you need to listen. Give your product away, for free to each and every SME you know. Demo it, let them use it, and g

It’s lock on data as well. On the one hand I hear all the 20-30 year olds complaining about BB on a daily basis and on the other hand we have million dollar models (in cost, billion dollar in value) locked-in on BB data sources. Just changi

Sorry. Non-native so you figured me out. This was a pure error though. My mental pronunciation is quite different.

Just a quick note on the word 'push'. We all now the 'tiger parenting' trope. Those parents exists and it makes a difference (with clear 'pushing', which I see as a negative). But with maths I think it's a

It’s from a prospective study [1] so the hope is No, as long as the study follows people and their habits for long enough. Edit: the first men in this study were enrolled in the mid 80s. I always have lots of respect for scientists starting

I would take even a somewhat kinder view of the pension funds involved. With no knowledge of the intimate aspects of the agreements UK pension funds make with employers, those involved knew that you could either pay for the risk margins inv

Well this takes the testing of compliance with regulations to a new level though. And here I am, doing my daily and weekly chores with HoxHunt and two other Q&A websites on our compliance procedures. And these aren't intellectual q
