The leverage is the trick in the whole equation. During dotcom days the leverage was fine until the cash flow ran out. Then bankruptcies started and the bottom fell out. It appears this is happening again but perhaps the business model w

I'm not a sysadmin but I often hear about server failures due to hardware just wearing out. Is there an expected shelf life of the hardware? I would expect for sure on the storage devices. So if that were the case then why isn'

Shareholder primacy is a drain on so many levels. Think of all the R&D that could have been spent instead of buying back shares.

Financial risk management is a great industry for data science. I've been doing it for 15+ years. It is amazing the data rich environment which includes credit bureaus, customer transaction history, call center dynamics, and of cours

It works for me. Cathedral is analogous to free software being a religion. It is a theocratic worldview that has a zealous following that must apply the rituals of old. Bazaar is the marketplace. It is supposed to be a efficient market

The US Constitutional government is meant to be slow, methodical and gridlocked. It is supposed to take enormous compromise to get any decision created into law.

Very close. In fact you could still say that it still is competing with Python for users. There is still an active community of developers.

While the 1 hour rule is mostly true be careful with discount airlines. Frontier Airlines does do a 1 hour boarding. I've heard of cases that if you are late to boarding, even if half hour ahead of departure, they will not let you bo

I agree. Group channels on relevant topics is very helpful. Especially on technical details relevant to getting work done. Yet here goes my rant. Nothing can replace a good in-person interaction. Perhaps I'm the old guy in the room

I believe disruption can come in the form of underwriting and servicing loans. The old model of large call centers that do buying and servicing loans has been around forever. It scales fairly well but it is costly and very inefficient. If

I've been using Linux for 15+ years. Here are my counterpoints. 1. Linux is a software ecosystem. Varying flavors and options to fill almost any need of computing solution. 2. Bugs and Regressions are crowd-source community solved.

Here is the NY Fed household data statistics on the subject. The NY Fed reports quarterly on US credit and debt. Aggregate delinquency rates going up. https://www.newyorkfed.org/microeconomics/hhdc/background.ht.

This is really interesting. It's not unlike building a credit bureau model like a FICO score. Just trying to find a probability of likelihood outcome.

I don't see why not. Mixed Integer usually involves ways of setting up the variables for optimization. PDLP appears to use a lot of presovling which I'm sure helps to establish those bounds whether continuous or integer variable
