Are you the "ordinary people" he was referring to in a recent tweet @ Musk?

I have no grand opinion about Trump. He is as good as any other politician, though he might be marginally better from the prior that he is not a career politician and from the posterior conditioned by the fact that the bi-partisan establish

It counts as something only if you called out Obama as vigorously. I don’t see any evidence of that in your timeline.

This is misinformation. There is no evidence that he gave $100 million.

Indeed. I always recommend Time Series Analysis by Hamilton for this reason. KF comes up as a natural way to solve linear models.

Not one paper cited. Just random recitation of climate change hysteria tropes. Life on earth had dealt with 120 meters of sea level rise. So please.

Greenland has 50k people. Just give them 1 million per head, passport and ask them them to vote to join the US as a state. Far better than annexing territories by war.

Because i have worked with many math phds who lost their youth to something that they could not make a living on (research positions at universities are few and the competition is intense) and were writing C++ implementations of derivatives

I hope you have decent source of secondary income or your family is reasonably well off. A math PhD might take 6-7 years to complete and I hope that, at the end of it all, you won’t have to come to London to look for C++ or Ocaml jobs at he

That is the way. Not long ago, most of Science was done by rich people as a hobby. We need to get back to that system.

PhD now is an expensive way to signal that you can persevere longer than the average human. Unfortunately, that is not always a positive as many real life situations require you to make decisions under extreme paucity of information and rev

This is especially true in climate science. There is a huge chasm between the public and private (post couple of drinks) sides.

It has more nuance. The supposition that there are significant number of murderers walking among us that would not murder because it is illegal has no basis. Crime statistics imply that most murders are results of either passion or pre-medi
