I agree 100%! I first learned to program in Python using Project Euler and they taught me a ton. Now I've solved 111 of them! I'm currently trying to learn Rust, and since it's so …

You mentioned actuarial - as an actuary interested in quant work, I'm surprised they are so well-represented on your team. Do you find lots of them in the industry? I'm taking the …

Really enjoyed this article - seemed to give a pretty objective look at what happened then and parallels to now. What I liked most though was the author's honest assessment of what…

This is all sick in it's own way, but it's not capitalism. Why do people equate every system in which someone makes a profit with capitalism?

Approve! I don't understand why Average Joe thinks he can beat investment firms long term with staff dedicated to tracking each and every tradeable asset. Who do you think you're t…

Given the size of Big Oil, Big Agriculture, and Big Auto, I don't think you'll see a major shift to electric in 10 years.

I have more faith in freedom than faith in a group of humans with the same greedy intentions as any other human, but with regulatory power over everyone else in the market. You wer…

So you don't shower then? Just hand-washing?

> "My advice is to attempt startups in the center of a confluence of macrotrends" That's basically like saying "buy the winning lottery ticket" in my opinion. There are lots of eye…

> After another three generations or so, chips will probably reach 5nm, and at that point there will be only 10 atoms from the beginning to the end of each transistor gate, he said…

I'm going to assume the revenue numbers you mentioned are US numbers. The entire population isn't trying to be musicians - you're only competing with other musicians for that money…

> money this guy has made I think you mean "beer this guys has drunk"!

Reading comprehension fail on my part!

This site finds similar artists to the one you search for. It has no reason to expect you'll like The Offspring when you entered Symphony X. It's like telling a friend you like Ban…

Awesome site! I'll definitely be coming back often.

Very interesting! Hacker School seems like something I'd like to do once I get my coding chops above absolute beginner level, it's nice to read a personal account of someone's expe…

I agree that that would be more honest, if it's possible - maybe this company could add something like that to their product line. I just think that, although it isn't technically …

This is a product for children and people who find computers intimidating. It's meant as a fun introduction to computers and programming. Your comment is like complaining that a LE…

You should change the title - the content is interesting enough that you don't need the mystery, and many people who would otherwise be interested probably won't click. Cool stuff …

Awesome website! Don't have much else to add - others will be better at pointing out UI/UX issues - just wanted to show support!

Can you quote where he "claimed that this analytic framework was the end-all in terms of analyzing the policy"?

If you're expecting research-level detail in a blog post from someone who is admittedly not an economist, your expectations are too high. The post was meant to present a simple Mon…

Unrealistic results are an indicator that something might be wrong with the model design or model choice which deserves investigating. Why is that such a bad thing? If you're model…

And in addition, after making the 60%-80% adjustment, if you still think the results look wrong, you now know that the model itself may require tweaking or redesign. I really don't…
