I'm looking forward to future posts as well! Thanks for writing this. You gave me pause to reconsider the only supplement I give my children and perhaps even more so in future episodes.

A quasi-fix could be to control for the most obvious sources of vitamin D: how often do you go outside, how long do you go outside, do you take vitamin D supplements, how often and with which strength. You can do this kind of analysis along

In the Netherlands, after a customer acts with the intention to defraud and a limited list of other abuses, yes. There are procedures in place for appeal and one could go to the courts for appeal as well. It truly is the <.1%. Health ins

Just as in mobile gaming you're mainly catering to whales, this kind of customer service is catering to sharks (or snarks?). It's a bad equilibrium to be in since bad customers do exist and the platforms act like they don't.

Proper valuation of real estate takes into account the future: usually 15+ years of rental income, maintenance cost, interest on loans, vacancies and churn, the development of surrounding areas in that period and then as a clincher: the fut

Interesting question. The dynamics surrounding which questions get proper answers in shareholder meetings is always interesting to me. There is no right way and bullshitting certain questions is an art. On grounds of material impact this qu

Going on twelve years here. One thing I can't make is Japanese pancakes though. If anybody knows what kind of pots are best for those, I'm interested.

Valuation for investment purposes and GAAP for accounting purposes are quite unrelated. Valuation is the art of estimating future cashflows, GAAP is the practice of reporting current cashflows that are comparable between firms. Obviously, v

Solved as well. Special bus lanes exist and have separate lights that (seem to) get priority in these smart systems, at least over cars. The fun thing is that these are often routed parallel to the bike routes, at least in the few examples

It takes about a year for changes in the market to fully hit real estate fund valuations, even when they mark-to-market on a quarterly basis. The thing is, nobody is selling so recent transactions that are used for valuation aren't imp

In my experience many jobs in "risk management" (under which I'd file a large part of cybersecurity from an organisational perspective) are 'second career jobs'. You first need to have done the job yourself before y

So shouldn't this be in the paper and preferably in the form of testable hypothesis? I guess we agree that the Hispanic part probably isn't useful unless we imagine genetic differences between the populations? The wokeness alert i

I agree. They create a really nice combined-source dataset and then get totally lost in some quasi-scientific and quasi-statistical narrative of models, indicators, p-values and possible effects that are not there in extended models. On top

Am I wrong to suppose that L is locator and I is indicator, thus I being a more broadly term and a somewhat nerdy term for Source?

I'm in your boat. The tastes good and bad coffees can bring are so diverse. Every few years I even feel a sudden urge to drink a particular instant coffee (Nescafé Gold). The bitters, acids that rise to my nose, a snarky taste with a l

In my experience this is a truism. Licenses almost never are held by the "top" legal entity in a firm, but fall to subsidiaries. The thing is that oversight not always carries over the boundaries of legal entities. Perhaps dividen

I would love a more rational approach to software pricing and security. We live in a time that makes clear that good software requires constant maintenance. Why shouldn't the pricing reflect the cost structure of companies. Once all yo

It is a great question! Why does anybody play a specific game? For my kids gaming is a way to form a collective in-group narrative between a set of kids. That means that they all drift to the same games. My sons actually play different game

I don't hate it. The Hertz proposition is quirky and strange, but it's fully out there as well. These risk paragraphs are fun to read because they're ment to be a clear warning of what could go wrong. Not too much CEO-speak a

If someone could explain this to me, please do. The wiki [1] on qualified immunity talks about civil action. So US officials (cops among those) are mostly shielded from civil action for their misdeeds and to even a greater degree than the f
