As a few other people have mentioned, I find R to be the easiest tool for this job, specifically the forecast package [0]. I had to use this package for an applied econometrics course in college a few years ago, and I have been using it eve

Does this not imply that they are satisfied with their work for largely social, extrinsic reasons (as opposed to intrinsic ones)? Cal seems to argue that people can only be most satisfied if they are better than everyone else at some niche

I really don't know, but my guess would be that in mathematics particular symbols denote particular meanings depending on the shape of / decorations on the character. Big g is different from little g which is different from bold g

Fraktur is used in mathematics, chiefly when discussing/denoting Lie groups. I've listed some sources but you can probably Google for more. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraktur#After_1941 [1] https:&#x2

Nicotine is also an acetylcholinergic stimulant, meaning it aids in the quickness of thought [0]. By removing this from your stack you probably depressed your acetylcholine for a while, making you less able to think clearly. It might also b

The mental clarity comes from adrenaline. When you fast your body slowly uses up its glycogen store and releases adrenaline to compensate. Presumably it does so in order to keep you active / motivated enough to go look for food to refi

There is the real issue of people holding onto illiquid assets which are difficult to monetize. E.g, the phrase "land rich, cash poor" comes to mind. Selling off small portions of land, or renting out a bedroom at a time, are diff

The problem here is that when an "investor" "earns" a rate of return due to capital gains, we ought to recognize that these gains are not due to capital performing useful work (e.g., capital used to found a business) but

I spent a lot of time in New England. There, it tends to be all municipalities are legally designated towns, and if the town has a certain minimum population, it can choose to reorganize as a city. The two differ primarily in style of gover

This reminds me of many of the issues with laissez-faire capitalism: perfectly competitive markets tend to consolidate, as less efficient participants drop out of the market. Also, network effects. It seems like perhaps economists should en

Of course the public application could just scrape Facebook, as the Supreme Court has ruled that webscraping is not illegal (well, at least in the United States). [0] [0] https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/9kek83&#

While it does seem useful, I’d be curious of the security implications; does wearing such a thing on your wrist make it easy for others to scan your credentials? I’m not incredibly familiar with NFC chips, but they do seem to have a much s

You mean something like this [0]? You could use this to trick your computer/phone into using the audio jack for its microphone, but since the mic-lock passes no usable signal, you'll be better protected. It doesn't otherwise

Perhaps I am missing something, but the use of dimensionality in this article seems a bit overblown. The article says that a digraph meant to represent a rat brain formed 8-cliques in response to some input data. You could represent this 8-

This reminds me of Scott's post over at Slate Star Codex about Moloch [0]. The issue here isn't so much about _realizing_ the futility in pegging one's happiness to one's profitability. The issue is that for any one pers

Perhaps as a counterpoint, this poem: The Men That Don't Fit In [0] By Robert W. Service There's a race of men that don't fit in, A race that can't stay still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the
