Yes I'm sure Apple Card data is included in that dataset. That isn't the point. > And even if it's not, as long as the other side (i.e. merchants and acquirers) just collects and aggregates the same data, that's littl

The Apple card is the only credit card in the US (that I know of) which does not resell your granular transaction data to 3rd party brokers. To me that alone makes it tremendously better than existing cards.

While unemployment rate is relatively low this measure masks deeper problems felt by those working to try and make a living. Specifically, labor participation is near an all-time low so discouraged workers, who aren’t counted in unemploymen

Economists look at inflation on a month/month or year/year basis. This is not an accident as it purposely ignores the destructive cumulative effect of inflation. Individuals, by contrast look at the cumulative effect of inflation.

That the “critique” is posted on such a spamtaculous site doesn’t lend much credibility. I looked but didn’t find other negative reviews. I did read the book and it seemed well cited. If there are no more credible reviews do you care to sub

Possible sure - just as it is possible my next startup could be the next Tesla. In reality, when Elon joined Tesla they had nothing but early concept prototypes of a high-end sports car with the name Roadster. Elon took it from concept, to

I come from a province that is wholly owned by a billionaire family. They own all industry, all media, and basically every (barely) living wage job outside the government. Look up the Irving family. Billionaires may not be a uniquely Canadi

Reading HN threads ranting about “manbabies” when referring to arguably the single greatest innovator and entrepreneur of our time was not on my bingo card on a site purporting to promote innovation and entrepreneurship.

Amd this is why there are no mid-sized family businesses remaining in Canada, except for the occasional farm. Billionaire oligopolies are all that remain as only they are sustainable in the tax farm once known as the great white north.

I’ve always found it strange that BSM is used for calculating implied volatility of American style options when it was specifically designed only for European style options. Can anyone comment if there are more suitable models for American

I would recommend considering the Georgia Tech Online Masters in CS. You can manage the work at your own pace. It is extremely cost-effective, and Georgia Tech is well recognized as a tech-forward university. Btw, I highly I applaud your de

I think we have very different definitions of moderate inflation. Note: I don't consider CPI a good measure of inflation experienced by the average consumer. Unfortunately the measure is heavily politicized and thus highly distorted fr

The relationship between money printing and inflation is neither linear nor instantaneous, but the connection is very real. Are you arguing that printing 80% of all the dollars ever created in a short two-year time span had no effect on inf

To quantify “loose monetary policy,” between 2021 and 2022 the US Fed increased the money supply by 4x. Put another way 80% of all US dollars that have ever existed were created between Jan 2021 and November 2022.[1] Prior to this event, in

I tend to agree with the autho’s point of view. PMF should be viewed as a point on a spectrum, not a binary state. You don’t achieve PMF so much as you progress from no PMF to extreme PMF with respect to progressively larger and larger targ
