I would 100% rather hide it forever

Oh boy, I can't even get spyder to move between two of my monitors because it always complains about scaling and then I can't get the popup to consistently not show up

I think there is times where comparing the ratio of economic stock vs. flow, i.e capital to wealth ratios, but yah the billionaire wealth to GDP comparisons just seem silly.

I get what they're trying to say, but it is the weakest way to argue their point.

"stayed between the red velvet ropes once inside" This is a lie.

Formerly and regrettably used to receive a paycheck from UI, basically the case

Tangentially, when COVID-19 forced my company to go work from home it thrust in to my face all the things that about that company that made me hate my job and gave me anxiety attacks.

I ultimately quit that job with nothing lined up and found a much more fulfilling job, with better pay. I don't think I would have quit that last job if it wasn't for the disruption, and I would have still been miserable.

R is a nasty nasty language for productionalizing things, honestly it's just too flexible and let's you do the craziest things.

But being so flexible makes it really expressive for doing ad-hoc analysis where you really don't know what you're looking for yet.

It's a silly comparison, they're different products ultimately.

I often do a fair amount of exploratory data analysis in Excel, and then take it to a BI tool or some other process to actually formalize it.

In excel the ability to be sloppy is actually really nice to just sling together a few random models and call it good when I don't need to be precise.

How is this better than power query? I know this has a visulaization of the transformations, but that's on the roadmap for PQ.

You have the card. Not a joke, that's really it

From a company perspective I think this is a horrible idea, I don't want to push all my customers together so that they can all complain in the same place.

I mean you're describing what most Enterprise Resource Planning deployments look like. There's a lot of enterprise software that follows this model

Nope, you should still give your cat vaccines. Your reasoning is silly

It can be a land value tax with a progressive rate. And yah as other said, poor people don't own land anyways. Now the middle class would hate this.

Microsoft releases the roadmap for a lot of their products.

Or a bike, which is a thing, that people ride to and from work, even in "rural" areas. No gas and no insurance, even for an electric one (and those have come down quite a bit in price, to the point where the only cheaper cars are absolute beaters).

Even "rural" cities/towns often have buses, too. They don't always have the most exhaustive coverage, but bikes can make up for that for the "last mile" of each way's commute (especially if the bus has a bike rack on it, which is becoming increasingly common for exactly this reason and because it's relatively cheap compared to the cost of the bus itself).

Bikes are not a viable commuting option in most of America, you cannot transport groceries or children effectively on a bike. This is the strawiest of straw men arguments.

Determining information about Marginal Propensity to Consume directly implies information about Marginal Propensity to Save, as MPC + MPS = 1.

It's not so much with regards to whether boeing will be fine, it's more about how the general state of the economy as a whole.

That's really freaking creepy...

That's not entirely true, expectations are not solely based on "I have a job" they are also based on the expectation of "Can I get a new job if I lose my job" among other complexities, there will certainly be a reduction in marginal propensity to consume even among those who have maintained their employment.

So yes, Amazon may well be a winner because of the shift, but they are winning a larger fraction of a smaller pie.

Furthering this, Hyndman is writing a new R package, 'fable' which is a 'tidy' approach to forecasting in R.

Reading his book at the very least will give a lot of insights to the standard of practice for people writing forecasting in the R world.

Often that sort of check mostly has to due with checking if you have some type of debt that may impair your integrity.

Say you're for some reason indebted to a Chinese bank and applying for a defense job, they're not going to be very happy of that. Yes that's a bit over the top, but generally what those checks are about.

So, LinkedIn isn't solely recruiting, I see very significant use by sales people. And I'm in a position where I have directed purchasing for my company and essentially every salesperson I've worked with has connected with me on LinkedIn.

In this scenario grifter would be accurate, yes maybe they are an arbitrageur too, but price gouging of this form is in-fact illegal.

Just as an anecdote I received a fairly significant injury while on a multi-day climb in the French Alps this past summer and my climbing partner and I had a significant discussion regarding the cost of a rescue that definitely factored in to our decision whether or not to keep climbing.

I bought rescue insurance the next day.

Of all the college libraries I've been in what you're describing is the typical structure I've encountered.

Outline can be used to bypass the paywall

Admittedly I don't particularly follow Marc Benioff and / or Salesforce in the news much, but is his advocacy for privacy laws generally considered be an attempt towards regulatory capture?

Relevant quote: “We need a national privacy law,” he said. “Otherwise you’re going to get a patchwork of privacy laws. We have to get our privacy and data locked down so we know where we’re going. [Regulators] need to be stepping in now and they should be working hard to make those changes.”

While forex is set by the network, some cards charge a cross border assessment (CBA) fee on international purchases.

Though admittedly I have 3 cards with no CBA and only that charges a 3.8% CBA... but I did prioritize for cards better for international travel. Most of my friends have cards that do charge a CBA
