> On average, each millennial parent receives $11,011 per year in combined financial support and unpaid labor That's the average ?!?! What's the 90th percentile like, cause I've be…

I have a really tough time comprehending why it is such a difficult problem to solve. The FCC could have solved it by now, independently of congressional legislation, considering t…

Ocaml has 100% less bikeshedding and no propensity for unending puritanical holy wars. It's a language for getting things done, as opposed to thinking about finding a way to do som…

Do you have any recommendations for wireguard providers? I'd love to try it out, but I don't want to host my own server.

I just about dumped PIA for the same reason. Downloaded their newest update, and it is soooo much better.

One based indexing is used in tons of domains within mathematics. Fortran chose 1-based indexing for a very obvious reason...it was the best translation from the mathematics litera…

The most prominent programming languages designed specifically for mathematical purposes (Mathematica, MatLab, Julia, R, Fortran), all have 1-based indexing. That should be a sign …

Why? You've already come to the conclusion that anybody that disagrees with you is an idiot, and you think your argument is fully reasoned and covers all bases. Why should I believ…

It sounds like you haven't considered any of the multiple reasons or situations where 1-based indexing works out better.

If your work defines who you are, then sure. I don't trade as a purpose for my life...I trade to make money, full stop.

The finance industry loves deep neural networks because it provides them a way to extract money from all of the naive tech engineers who took a deep learning class on Coursera and …

Hey, awesome that you're posting here. I actually just asked a question as a post on the algotrading subreddit, but I'm hoping you can maybe help here. I think this would be broadl…

Is anybody else surprised that a 20 person company has the resources and prioritization to create something like this?

Hub and spoke models still dominate for all major carriers. True point to point routes, where neither the origin nor destination are hubs, are an extremely tiny minority of all rou…

Surprise, backroom sweetheart deals between businesses and politicians are wildly unpopular. And it was dumb for Amazon to seek out subsidies anyway. Amazon only needed one criteri…

It's simple diminishing returns to size efficiency. There's a saying in aviation that goes something like "it takes a lot of fuel to fly a lot of fuel". Even over the course of a s…

For an aircraft that is not yet flying, the 777-9 has pretty healthy demand from multiple airlines. Lufthansa, Etihad, Qatar, All Nippon, and Singapore have all placed orders. Iran…

Inevitably in comments about the demise of the 747 or A380, people refer to the proliferation of point to point routes. But while point to point routes have grown, hub and spoke ro…

You were the one to make the comparison to other JVM developers. Not sure why you would make the comparison if your whole point was that you can use both. Of course that point is s…

The big problem is the corporate tax itself. It's incredibly hard to tax corporations fairly and efficiently, and as a result the corporate tax code is way more complex than any pr…

Clojure was my first JVM language. It indeed was a nightmare. The java underpinnings affect everything you touch. Trying to use a library that didn't have a stable wrapper was terr…
