The furniture you make yourself is a) unique and b) not artificially scarce.
Isn't it more likely that you don't know your employer as well as market analysts, but that you do have much more severe cognitive biases?
It's possible that a) diet isn't that hard to figure out and b) gamifying, quantifying, testing, and over-extrapolation from isolated scientific results make people confused and much less effective at making the right…
The welfare state (in the UK) has existed since people who are now 87 were entering the workforce. It used to be a lot more generous. There is no test for having worked your whole life needed to get an old age pension.…
The Quora discussion doesn't seem to add much. Just a guy saying 'FreeBSD is rock-solid' and '[for] raw performance, .. nothing beats FreeBSD', without giving any technical details.
Based on Neil Gorsuch having worked for him, the secretive billionaire seems to be Philip Anschutz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Anschutz New Yorker article about 'a secretive mogul's entertainment kingdom':…
You should be aware that this is a very questionable documentary and the makers of the documentary who are now the presenters of the TV show have been credibly accused of faking footage and exploiting the subject. >…
Is it possible that Boulder and San Francisco are actually quite different places?
Funny, I've often heard X programming described as 'not trivially easy'.
I don't see these programs as fundamentally different. The only material different is that one uses a GOTO and the other uses a while loop. But I don't think either of these is more intuitive. When you learnt how a GOTO…
I stand corrected. I wrongly believed that many of these including Fejer and von Neumann were not Jewish. I think the comparison with other populations such as Poland still seems to point out that something about…
You don't have to be curious for more than five minutes. Several of those mentioned are Jewish, but most of them are not. There are not disproportionately more Jewish Hungarian mathematicians, compared to the proportion…
Also Fejér, Turán, Rényi, F. Riesz and M. Riesz, Bollobás
It's difficult to generalize, but by pretty much any metric you choose Hungary produced a massively disproportionate share of the outstanding mathematicians of the twentieth century.
I honestly don't understand the point you're trying to make.
Yes, that's the word "should", which I used.

if 'cashless payment via touching a card' is what I think it is, it is completely widespread in London, in all shops/restaurants, and also on public transport.
It is more real because she believes that the father spends time with her each week because he loves her and wants to look after her. In every social interaction we can never really be certain of the other person's…
This is a pretty standard way of doing mental multiplication. The interesting thing about the method in the article is that it involves binary not base 10.
That's not a selection bias. It's (if true) an actual part of the cause of Netflix engineers being happy with their job. If the headline 'People who have worked at Netflix at some time in the past are happier' then yes,…
From an economic point of view, wasting people's time in exchange for a free service is worse than either charging them what the market can bear, or providing a free service. If you charged them, you would benefit. If…
What is the strong evidence in support of the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon?
The GP (in both senses) means this: they want it to be simple. So simple they are not aware of how it works. If they have to know about 'the cloud', 'sharing', 'syncing', where the photos are stored, etc., then it's not…
