When did "X is built one marble at a time" become popular? Maybe search analytics can tell us.

Winston Churchill once laid bricks as a means to outrun the black dog.

If not for taxpayers, the opportunity cost would be incalculably immense.

Thanks for this, I hadn't come across it before.

Last time this happened in the US was during GFC. Mercedes-Benz and BMW "went into hiding" instead of Birkins.

Who's they? Members of every generation have to become class-conscious at some point, no? Some just pick it up quicker, perhaps through a European classic novel or a Great Depression archival newspaper.

Heard from the grapevine that CloudFlare uses it for their analytics.

Internet researchers commonly use RIPE and RouteViews.

While traveling by car during one of his many overseas travels, Professor Milton Friedman spotted scores of road builders moving earth with shovels instead of modern machinery. When he asked why powerful equipment wasn’t used instead of so many laborers, his host told him it was to keep employment high in the construction industry. If they used tractors or modern road building equipment, fewer people would have jobs was his host’s logic.

“Then instead of shovels, why don’t you give them spoons and create even more jobs?” Friedman inquired.

How tall was the guy? 80mg a day? Far beyond a reasonable amount.

Do you have a link to this?

Hasn't it always been flexible?

I'll buy someone a coffee if they propose a state-space model that identifies a location on the author's plane as a function of time and incentives :^)

Ostensibly this roostful homecoming is a result of increasing capital costs.

David Goggin's public persona comes to mind as an extreme example. He frames his journey as one that involved embracing pain and discomfort. Now he preaches it incessantly like a sort of addict to masochism. I think this highlights the point of the study which attempts to say, instead of avoiding discomfort one could welcome it with the added risk that you become some sort of firestarter in the sense that you now cannot sit with being comfortable.

A natural extension of this work may be to study at what point does burnout occur.

I had anticipated that this would've ended with you becoming Captain America.

Off topic, but what's the state-of-art behind speech recognition models at the moment?

Are people still using with DTW + HMMs?

I actually do agree with you. If you "think locally and act locally" while young, you run the risk of being blindsided by tail outcomes in the future.

I think either global thinking or acting in youth is a prerequisite to arriving at the position you describe. I mean, is there a better explanation for mid-life crises?

It's my opinion that "thinking locally and acting locally" is a strategy better reserved for old age.

Love it, such a straightforward formulation.

Is slippage minimization even a tractable problem besides applying loose heuristics derived from empirical insights, e.g., identifying reliable early-signals of narrowing spreads and increased liquidity for a given exchange?

Off-topic, does anyone know whether the source code for this UI is open source?

Surely this'll trigger unwinding of the options dispersion trades that have been rumored to have been building up.

Beautiful.

Care to elaborate on how the real economy is positive sum and poker is negative sum?

Obligatory "please do not discount suvivorship bias in your results".

Cue the classic joke:

A finance professor is walking across the University of Chicago campus with a student. They come upon $20 lying on the ground, and the student leans down to pick it up. The professor said, “Don’t bother. If it was really there, somebody else would’ve already picked it up.”

I wonder if there's a strong positive correlation between periods of high Federal Fund Rates and periods of prevailing sentiment that espouses for 10x developers.

I heartily prescribe the programmer's manifesto to the author:

Marginally related (this paper explains the mechanisms of a DeFi exploit which are the same mechanisms used generally in this 'strategy'): https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.03810

What does "no longer needed" mean? I think most people who encourage the exchange of money for 'happiness' don't fully grasp the subjectivity of this judgement.

A person's preferred strategy for expending and conserving resources is an emotionally-charged choice. Who am I to say anything about their choices?
