Things are going to be bad until people can go back to work, that much is certain. Whether there is a speedy bounce back after things are back to normal, or if we experience economic stagnation, is anyones guess. The metric to watch is m2

Same with WSJ, gym memberships, magazines, tv providers, cell phone providers... Lots of things. While, yes, it is annoying whenever companies do this, it is interesting to me that OP's life has been insulary enough that this is shocki

To anyone with a detailed understanding of the current limits of machine learning, this should be no surprise; unsupervised learning is far from solved and ML in its current state will always be plagued by the cat and mouse game of edge cas

Thanks for the post, tipped me off to the current rock-bottom ram prices to max out the ram of my desktop I built 5 years ago.

This article makes me think of the engineer at one of my past jobs that not only subsided on the free office poptarts, but also would butter them. I like to think I am a very open minded person but I had a hard time taking that guy serious

While I agree with the author's sentiment that it hasn't really panned out for professional work, the title is not right. When the iPad came out, I dumped my Apple stock before the quarter where they would report on sales. The s

Oh come on now, really? I have a piece of farmland in the middle of nowhere and let me tell you, even digging a hole out there is harder now than it was 100 years ago because of the things you find buried. Subways in 200+ year old cities?

Thats great and all, but also not queue theory.

Maybe less literal than you are thinking. A background in mathematics opens you to many lucrative careers.

Kind of a textbook description of queue theory if you were taking a stochastic processes class. If the author really is suggesting this for use in retail line situations, he is out of touch because... retail managers have no idea what queu

I would write this author off, this is a rant and nothing more. "We now live in a different economic universe than we did before the crash. Falling unemployment no longer drives up wages..." Wages are certainly going up in places

What I don't get about these scams is what is preventing them from working with the bank to reverse the fraudulent transfers? Sure I get that in these instances money is usually moving between the banking systems of two different coun

There are like a million blog style posts for these basic intro to ML with pandas & python type thing. It's so prevalent that I am starting to wonder what the motivation is?

Expiration vs. freshness. When I buy coffee or anything at a supermarket, the expiration date is about as far into the future as you can get. When I order on amazon, it's always much shorter. Coffee is a great example. It's us

It's been my experience that nearly all items with expirations on amazon are either near the end of their shelf life or past it. Coffee, candy, supplements, whatever. It's very obviously used as a dumping ground. It's craz

If you are good at doing something, in this example that something being making money, ceasing that activity means doing something you are less good at. I don't think many people have the discipline or curiosity to say: "Well tha

My personal experience has been it's a grueling exercise in trial and error to find what works. To have the opinion that its all bull is certainly justified, we for sure don't know the formula, but I propose that it's there,

This is something I have long suspected. I have definitely heard of instances where friends subsequent MRIs have shown regrown cartilage in the knee, but years later. And it doesn't happen for everyone. The friends that regrew, they

To be fair, and whether you agree with it or not, the point of the executive order was to screw them in this manner. So, it's a feature not a bug as far as the government is concerned.

Established, no, because establishing it would be akin to correctly predicting peak oil. As a matter of pure math with the banking system we are globally bought into, that is fractional reserve banking, yes you need ever-increasing GDP or

M1 is for measuring velocity, not growth. Velocity of money tends to better model the health of an economy than does GDP.

by tjpaudio 7y ago
I see you took my use of the word stuff quite literally. Services are stuff too, and get included in M1 and consumer spending. I'm not wrong.

by tjpaudio 7y ago
This is a really complicated question. Some things to consider: 1) Capitalism needs ever-increasing consumption to sustain itself. Imagine a metric: amount of stuff consumed by a person on average. If that number doesn't increase eve

The president, any president, does have the power to affect all corners of the economy. The tax overhaul is a good example, that affected everyone to some extent. I do not think anyone is saying the entirety of the economy is based on his

There are what, about ~2,000 billionaires in the world? Of those, I don't believe any of them would hold a billion in BTC. From what I can tell, it has been ruled out that this is from any of the exchanges. Is this a possible nation

"When an index fund investor sells, they’re technically selling their holdings in direct proportion to their weighting in the index. So there is literally no market impact" This is a straight out false statement. Who is this guy a

I'll try. Price discovery means finding out the value of a stock by people bidding to sell and buy it. Historically, beating the stock market is hard to do, so one strategy is to just go along for the ride, buy a little of everything

It's not elitism. ACH is a term that should be familiar to anyone even remotely informed on the topic. It's ok to read articles on things you are unfamiliar with but it is also on you as the reader to educate yourself when you r

The article is written for people interested in the very specific topic of the technical workings ACH transfers. It seems absurd to me that you would try to write this article to an audience that hasn't even heard of ACH. I think the

I believe the news here is a resurgence of growth in a mortgage type that has otherwise been declining or stagnant the last 10 years, not so much an alarm about the current state of affairs. So what you said is correct and all, but I think
