Things are going to be bad until people can go back to work, that much is certain. Whether there is a speedy bounce back after things are back to normal, or if we experience econom…

Same with WSJ, gym memberships, magazines, tv providers, cell phone providers... Lots of things. While, yes, it is annoying whenever companies do this, it is interesting to me that…

To anyone with a detailed understanding of the current limits of machine learning, this should be no surprise; unsupervised learning is far from solved and ML in its current state …

Thanks for the post, tipped me off to the current rock-bottom ram prices to max out the ram of my desktop I built 5 years ago.

This article makes me think of the engineer at one of my past jobs that not only subsided on the free office poptarts, but also would butter them. I like to think I am a very open …

While I agree with the author's sentiment that it hasn't really panned out for professional work, the title is not right. When the iPad came out, I dumped my Apple stock before the…

Oh come on now, really? I have a piece of farmland in the middle of nowhere and let me tell you, even digging a hole out there is harder now than it was 100 years ago because of th…

Thats great and all, but also not queue theory.

Maybe less literal than you are thinking. A background in mathematics opens you to many lucrative careers.

Kind of a textbook description of queue theory if you were taking a stochastic processes class. If the author really is suggesting this for use in retail line situations, he is out…

I would write this author off, this is a rant and nothing more. "We now live in a different economic universe than we did before the crash. Falling unemployment no longer drives up…

What I don't get about these scams is what is preventing them from working with the bank to reverse the fraudulent transfers? Sure I get that in these instances money is usually mo…

There are like a million blog style posts for these basic intro to ML with pandas & python type thing. It's so prevalent that I am starting to wonder what the motivation is?

Expiration vs. freshness. When I buy coffee or anything at a supermarket, the expiration date is about as far into the future as you can get. When I order on amazon, it's always mu…

It's been my experience that nearly all items with expirations on amazon are either near the end of their shelf life or past it. Coffee, candy, supplements, whatever. It's very obv…

If you are good at doing something, in this example that something being making money, ceasing that activity means doing something you are less good at. I don't think many people h…

My personal experience has been it's a grueling exercise in trial and error to find what works. To have the opinion that its all bull is certainly justified, we for sure don't know…

This is something I have long suspected. I have definitely heard of instances where friends subsequent MRIs have shown regrown cartilage in the knee, but years later. And it doesn'…

To be fair, and whether you agree with it or not, the point of the executive order was to screw them in this manner. So, it's a feature not a bug as far as the government is concer…

Established, no, because establishing it would be akin to correctly predicting peak oil. As a matter of pure math with the banking system we are globally bought into, that is fract…

M1 is for measuring velocity, not growth. Velocity of money tends to better model the health of an economy than does GDP.

I see you took my use of the word stuff quite literally. Services are stuff too, and get included in M1 and consumer spending. I'm not wrong.

This is a really complicated question. Some things to consider: 1) Capitalism needs ever-increasing consumption to sustain itself. Imagine a metric: amount of stuff consumed by a p…

The president, any president, does have the power to affect all corners of the economy. The tax overhaul is a good example, that affected everyone to some extent. I do not think an…

There are what, about ~2,000 billionaires in the world? Of those, I don't believe any of them would hold a billion in BTC. From what I can tell, it has been ruled out that this is …
