It’s basically just index match with a sensible default for match’s matching argument.

Good stuff. Took too long to make an official implementation of this but glad it’s here

Is this tongue in cheek? Because it reads as more worldly and self aware but is largely about living a more extravagant, expensive and luxurious lifestyle.

I would peg it down to innumeracy and inability to handle relativism and anchored valuations.

I would wager the same people who become whales are merely the same who would overspend on traditional sales periods for physical stores.

I think this is good as a way to filter people out, but not as a way to rank people to find the best.

I would want to see a short script to clean and predict a dataset, plus a small description of why choices were made.

Wouldn’t care much about the performance of the model.

You may feel differently if your crime is “political dissidence” and you’re now facing a mainland China trial instead of a Hong Kong trial.

Extradition basically gives China judicial authority over whatever they want in Hong Kong

This mindset is why I think negative rates are going to mess things up. People aren’t going to behave rationally. If you want to save the rational choice in this situation is to accept a small negative rate that is secure although slightly negative. But... a lot of people are probably going to do one of your two ideas. Neither of which are really “good” for the economy.

Is someone a great physicist if they produce 0 papers but reduce stigma in STEM

I don’t understand how these ideas can mix. If schools are super competitive and the good economic opportunities go to only the top x%, where x is smallish, then most people do not get x. I can’t see it being suicidally bad if this the most common outcome.

What do people do if they don’t succeed?

It’s more than possible for non-living but still harmful substances/chemicals to be on the floor.

Why do you believe that the woman owes the man anything after ending the relationship? A woman is not obligated to feel emotionally conservative just because her former partner does.

I don’t have any way of comparing this beyond anecdotally but... I’ve dated one only person and for many years.

I’ve never had the chance or reason to use online dating. But I feel like most of my friends who do enter committed relationships from online dating don’t seem to trust each other very much even after a significant chunk of time and it seems weird to me. Curious if this resonates.

You’re subtly insinuating that the woman was being shallow or petty, when in fact, she could have just not wanted to move forward with the relationship.

Are wages really rising for the target market of Popeyes?

I’m no philosopher but this sounds incorrect. You can prove that many things couldn’t exist, and therefore prove that it doesn’t exist.

Like an integer greater and less than 0.

Is it easy for blue collar Chinese to leave and work in other countries?

We have excellent data on this

Incorporate avg number of people per house...?

I could place it with only +- 15 years if I’m going to be honest.

Minor complaint about making minor complaints

> “everyone knows what 4 / 6 /89 signifies”

This annoyed me quite a bit. No I don’t. Most people probably don’t.

It’s the date of Tiananmen Square.

I’m fine with this. Keanu’s action movies tend to have action that is actually creative and enjoyable to watch. Most fight scenes are really quite boring, but I’m happy to watch John Wick kill people for a few hours.

The Matrix is a good setting for action films. I won’t care terribly if it lacks the philosophical or sci fi aspects

Questionable revenue recognition timing vs fictitious revenues would be an example

Or they could just give stable dividends and stop growing which is honestly completely reasonable for a company that makes most of its money on super passive activities like google.

Google is growth oriented because it has so much money that it can experiment with things. Maybe that’s dumb?

I know people are concerned about using gene drives on native species, but why don’t we use it against invasive species. Lantern flies in PA seem like a good example.

Why is that a perverse incentive? If the baseline is that it’s illegal to sell such things to kids, then this seems like a roundabout way to hire kids as a forcing mechanism to make companies really careful not to do this.

This is a popular science and not very accurate version of how qubits work, no?

Maybe one day our cyberpunk corporate overlords will be able to fine governments for this kind of shit.

A moose is two to three times the mass of a red deer, or more. I’m not sure you can assume they’re similar.

Unless... you don’t want to meet people who wouldn’t want to meet you due to knowing more about you

Wouldn’t that deeply hurt the Chinese economy as their boost from their currency inflation goes away
