I would pay good money for a field guide/itinerary to accompany "Assembling California". More directly related to the Green River, I found Wayne Ranney's "Carving Grand Canyon: Evidence, Theories, and Mystery" an…
Same amount of food yes. But if a mathematician was just sitting on the sidelines before this new field, they may decide it is more productive to trade time they spent on preparing food for more time to spend on math.
The data cited on the summary page of the study does not support the conclusion that those units are unoccupied, which I think is the key question here. It does say that 64% do not claim a residential exemption on…
One of the authors here was the lead on the early Stanford antibody prevalence study that had numerous issues: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2020/04/19/fatal-flaw... It also did not report a possible funding…
At least one guess is that this helps Softbank increase the value of its other investments in Uber: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-03-14/don-t-...
This paper was discredited. It could not be replicated using publicly available data and it was eventually found that there were large scale computational errors: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22223190
I have not formed an opinion on MMT, nor do I consider myself to have the right background trying to fully understand it or any other economic model, but even at my level of knowledge, the first four paragraphs of…
Always worth it to delve into how a statistic was computed. In this case, the organization cited as the source of the 70% figure itself disclaims it: """ Over the past couple of years several news organizations have…
I'm particularly curious about why you prefer Reinhart over Krugman, specifically because of the disagreement over the famously erroneous Reinhart-Rogoff results (Krugman comment here:…
When the stock units vest (or are exercised in the case of options), you are taxed on their current value at the regular income tax rates. What would be taxed at the long term capital gains rate are any gains that…
I would not use the Time article as a reliable source, it cites the 70/90% figures a study by the "Williams Group wealth consultancy", which of course is trying to sell its services to wealthy clients. I've seen the…
I'd like to add that a first cut as infrastructure-as-code could be as simple as putting your manual setup tasks (including SSHing into a host) into a shell script and committing it to your repo. But it takes a only…
Somewhat agreed, maven is a build tool and packages it downloads do not execute code through maven. This does not preclude malicious typosquatting packages making it into applications built using it, but does provide…
But if you object to joining a union, then why not work a different job that is non-unionized? Why not look at all possible jobs as your market, as opposed to contracts for a specific job? One possible response to that…
Technically, I don't think there is anything to prevent an employer for forcing you to attend company parties as a condition of employment. Of course the vast majority of employers wouldn't do this, but in this case…
EDIT: To try to keep the discussion focused, and the level of discourse high, let's try to find out exactly where we disagree: You asked: Why is ethical or fair force a worker to pay union dues as part of a job? My…
At some point the majority of workers voted to organize. After that, anyone working there has made the choice to work a unionized job. I don't think it is fair to allow a single jobseeker to break the structure of a…
I see this figure around a lot, does anyone have a pointer to the actual study? I got as far as a book called "Preparing Heirs: Five Steps to a Successful Transition of Family Wealth and Values", no detail on the actual…
I certainly agree for trials for treatments for specific ailments. But insurers, hospital administrators, and others have always been making decisions that balance clinical outcomes and cost of care without patients…
Not sure how many folks are aware of this, but the ACA included funding for an 'Innovation Center' to run experiments on potential approaches to improve medical outcomes and cut costs:…
I don't have anything to do with the plan (just keeping my head up about how the business runs :) ), but from the FAQ (http://www.employeefiduciary.com/401k-faq/) it looks like they use a third party (MG Trust) for…
Employee Fiduciary is at 8 bps: http://www.employeefiduciary.com/401k-plan-pricing/ Don't know if they would come out lower than Captain401 though (no mention of any cut of the overall assets on the Captain401 page, if…
Definitely agree here, want to add a link to this paper which shows how far we still have to go (and questions whether the current models will ever replicate human vision): http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.1897
As mentioned elsewhere on this thread, you'd use Swift (and other object storage systems) to store larger pieces of unstructured binary data (eg. images/videos/backups). The easiest way to do that in Cassandra without…
From working at an Openstack startup for a while, I can say that customers definitely prefer the S3 API since it works with their existing tools. That being said, they are largely compatible until you get into the…
