It's a pretty typical mistake. We are just as smart as our predecessors. We just have a much higher population, a higher % of them are well educated, and we have an enormous body of historical knowledge (as well as easy…
A well executed Excel model is much easier to explain to a non-technical person. To be frank, for all the snobbery towards Excel, it has done a marvelous job at getting millions of people to think in more quantitative…
No, but the Ireland government would surely object, because their cozy and soft relationship / taxes agreement with the tech giants is the only thing that's keeping them in Ireland.
And yet private organizations so often want to sit on the moral perch and pet themselves about all the non-profit oriented actions they take.
This is such a peculiar, and I have to say, snobby, criticism - especially towards the last part of the article. The Gioconda is too famous and doesn't deserve the crowd it gets? Maybe. Sounds like a subjective…
Not trying to be snarky, but my experience is almost exactly the opposite. I can't comment on voting patterns, but while GDPR was being prepared, and after it was released, there was an endless barrage of posts claiming…
This was extremely fascinating. Thanks for posting.
So this is interesting; assuming that this doesn't go to the Supreme Court or is otherwise unchanged by it, it could mean that after some states implement their own laws (and fight off the inevitable lobby/lawsuits…
This might be a personal impression, but there seems to be a reflexive (negative) response from many posters here regarding any new regulation that the EU produces. I've been trying to wrap my head about whether that's…
Do you by any chance have a link to that video, or remember the name? I'd very very curious to see it.
That's 100% been the case - I am familiar with the industry and they have been more than willing to not make any margin in order to get the clients they want (big names, or poach from the competition) That strategy…
A bit cynical, but not unfair. Many people in the US persistently cling to the idea that solution implemented and working (albeit imperfectly) in other parts of the world will not work in the US due to XYZ. Which in a…
Buying (a product) off the shelf is the right answer in many situations. But not when you are not actually buying a product.
There's a bit of longer-term reputation damage which is significant in an industry dominated by companies who tend to think over the span of decades rather than quarters. One fairly big serviced offices company pulled…
I would argue that's still a win. Discord and Telegram are more difficult to track because they are less public and visible. The move has therefore managed to reduce the exposure that non-active participants have to…
I am not sure whether anyone being a military titan can be defined as "righteous", but its definitely been something that was going to happen sooner rather than later.
I guess Oracle's desperate attempts (to the point of suing the government) to ensure a cash cow for the next decade despite clear tech inferiority were not successful in the end
Surprisingly not that much research on this topic on the American side, but here's one. [0] Conclusion: there's a small negative impact on the hiring of women, but it's more than compensated by women being less likely…
I find myself somewhat unimpressed by arguments like "Facebook / Google" should not be deciding what is false. They already are - or rather, they are deciding what is visible and prominent, and what isn't. When you…
Strongly disagree. What you get from MOOCs is directly proportional to how seriously you approach them. Yes, MOOCs do less handholding (aka: forcing adults to behave like adults) than traditional university courses. But…
Not me personally, but the amount of complex workflow that I've seen relying on tortured Excel and VBA is mind-boggling. In the hands of someone who knows how to use it, Excel is incredibly powerful. Though at some…
If there's a cunning plan behind all of this, I cannot spot it. If there isn't...honestly this is a sad sight.
One of the reasons that Berlin is so popular is that everything works smoothly (everything is relative, of course), and it has a great, multicultural social life. Neither of these apply to Naples.
Eh. (imho) Hydro pumping is way more simple, and is just limited by the fact that you can't have it wherever you want. Also concrete is not exactly environmentally friendly to make.
I suspect this is very much dependent on the country. My bachelor was in stats & actuarial sciences (though I never worked in the field), and in my country there's a big shortage of qualified actuaries. So the average…
