I provided links to the USDA report and it's findings. I provided the link to Lomborgs tweet and in it the referenced links to the findings. In it, he addresses the 10% reduction i…

Would you kindly provide evidence to the contrary and not just to what Bjorn has done but also the USDA? And no, it is nothing like Fisher's contrarianism to the smoking issue. Bot…

I'm curious how the stated article jives with the following research by the USDA [0] into it's current resource and greenhouse emissions and the work done by Bjorn Lomberg and team…

The current trend seems to be towards the agile methodology for software development- but what about database design and development? Are folks in 2019 still using the traditional …

Could you kindly expound on how the incentive example I described would be like a command economy? And how would that be different from the capital gains tax rates we have now ( in…

Thank you for the response - sincerely. I supposed it is unconventional. I'm still struck by a few ideas. The first is that economic leveling needs to be done by force through the …

Why should they pay more? I haven't seen data otherwise, and I would be happy to admit that I am wrong, but what additional use of public goods and services that are funded by taxe…

I'm curios how this compares to what Bjorn Lomborg [1] (with a longer explanation [2]) and other researchers found that going completely vegetarian accounted for a modest decrease …

I'm all for taking action against climate change, but the 10% number is just pure fear mongering. Robert Rhode at Berkely did an excellent job of showing what the true risks are he…

(C'mon downvotes!) I thought the idea of paying your "fair share" was in relation to the services provided by the taxes paid. I can take an extreme example that I've tried to steel…

Thank you for the feedback.

I'm interested in the implementation of this, but do not have the technical background to begin. Would you have any go to resources for a beginner?

I like the dialogue between Hastie and Tibshirani in their statistical learning course from Stanford [1]. I found the accompanying ISL book and c-cran depositories helpful for when…

It's amazing that you mention this as this was a similar method that I used to quit smoking. When I had the craving to smoke a cigarette, I took off for a sprint (I was younger wit…

I would also be interested. LeanPub might also be a good shout.

If you have any insight into this, would you mind sharing?

And not everyone is secure enough in the "bread" either. "An estimated 12.3 percent of American households were food insecure at least some time during the year in 2016, meaning th…

I like the Tidyverse. My only complaint is that it presents another headache when moving from one language (R) to another (usually Python/SQL). Using the base R functions while int…
