I don't understand the use of Chicago as a verb, can you help? Also, do we explicitly know it was the US, or just implicitly?
They're referring to the CIA assisted fascist coup where the Chicago Boys "ran" the economy afterward using it as a place to experiment with their ideology. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Boys 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Chilean_coup_d'%C3%A9tat
Wow, cool! The model is specified as a constrained nonlinear optimization problem for which a solution is found using high-quality proprietary numerical solvers.[a] All partial differential equations specifying the model have a basis in economic theory or in heuristics and approximations shown to be consistent with reality. Parameters come directly from (what I assume is a large amount of) economic data collected by…

Thanks! Julia was not even in 1.0 when we started the project, but would absolutely be a great choice today. So far, only the Conopt4 solver can solve our model, which means we have to go through GAMS even if we rewrite in Julia. I saw Rackauckas' JuliaCon presentation where he talks about ML approximations and immediately got excited too.
I'm not qualified to make any, but are you expecting/hoping for/accepting pull requests?
I wonder if this includes Christiania, the billion Euros of cannabis sold there each year, and the big lift all those drug tourists impart on the local service industry. Beautiful place by the way, would recommend.
Christiania is like the least beautiful place in the country...
I bet there has to be better solutions than github.
Perfect is the enemy of good. Sure there is, though the most popular alternative (Gitlab, from where I'm seated) IPO'd recently, and we know the effect that tends to have. Our national governments are already pretty comfortable with Microsoft products. Do you know any other git hosts that have persistently proven themselves trustworthy and have superior financial incentives? Otherwise it might be better to focus on t…
This is fantastic! I'm not qualified to make any, but are you expecting/hoping for/accepting pull requests?
