It is literally impossible to run these models on data without first understanding these methods deeply, because causal inference for these observational data IS extremely difficult.

There's a lot of structural econometric papers that do exactly what you ask, but you need graduate level statistics and a deep understanding of discrete choice, identification and simulation methods.

Structural econometrics is a field where PhD students, in their 5 year of study, usually produce only one complete study, if that.
The same could be said of every other political stance to take, no? Socially, or economically.

See how libertarians see taxes. They could also write some melancholic paragraphs like yours. "Imagine you're a hard, honest worker and someone told you part of your money is not yours, you have to give up some of it and give it to the government. Would you consider it a personal attack? Someone challenges your very right to have your own property... and that's not personal?"

The thing is that, yes, wanting to reduce the amount of immigrants (for example) is a mainstream political stance. Brexit happened over less! We should be able to have and express our own political ideas as long as we don't go out of our way to harass people over them.

It's a mistake to think of money as resources--as if money is something we dig out of the ground and need in order to make our machines run. No-one eats cash. Whatever could be done if Apple spent its cash, could be done if Apple didn't spend its cash. Money's only purpose is to incentivize people to do things, so you're basically asking Apple to play king and start directing society. I'd prefer they just sit on their money rather than that!

There are different types of UUIDs [1]. MySQL generates version 1 UUIDs - you can tell by the first digit of the third block. It looks like something else is also generating UUIDs, using the v4 format - so you have two different types of UUID in your database:

4331cb9e-1d91-11e9-be2c-45923c63e8a2 # v1

c7e2f124-f6ba-4434-843f-89958a7436ec # v4

v1 UUIDs are typically based on the MAC address of your computer and the current time. Online tools exist [2] that decode the uuid and tell you it was created at 2019-01-21 10:28:55 (UTC)

v4 UUIDs are random.

I am in favor of higher taxes, but that does not solve the dignity issue at all.

Taking from the rich to give to the poor only solidifies the division between the two groups. It makes givers and takers, and there will be resentment on both sides.

We as a society need to find a way to not only feed and clothe and house everyone but to give them purpose and a voice. Paying off half the workforce doesn't do it.

As a customer: if I am on the fence about a product, I will rarely buy anything that does not offer some kind of money-back guarantee, even if the cost is only 10 dollars. I've been burned before by buying products or services that turned out to be trash, and offering a guarantee shows some level of faith in what your company offers. I've only requested a refund a small handful of times.

Most recently I bought a $550 dollar online course and the 1 year unconditional money-back guarantee was 100% the deciding factor for me to try it. I ended up loving it and will not be requesting a refund.

That's not how manufacturing works. Most manufacturing still requires human input because robots aren't very flexible. You have to build an entire line around a robot which means you adapt slowly to changes in the market.

I don't find Le Guin hard to stomach at 43. CS Lewis on the other hand is heavy-handed religious propaganda.

But I can understand some taking issue with Le Guin. The language of the Earthsea books in particular is intentionally simple. My 9 year old has read most of the Earthsea books, and the series was initially explicitly targeted at teenagers.

For some that's hard to look past.
I would guess most languages with a few million speakers have words for a lot of colors. But I think the argument here is that "baby blue" or "sky blue" is not one of English's "base" colors, but is rather within the classification "blue". The difference is subtle, but it's captured in the test mentioned in the article: if I switch from navy to baby blue, and English speaker might clock both as blue. But for a Russian speaker, these would clock as different colors entirely. I believe a similar thing would happen for blue and green between an English speaker and a Japanese speaker.

The perceptual difference is microscopic, and I certainly wouldn't take it as far as the statement in the headline, but it does seem like the difference is there.

I don't run this sort of business but I recall reading in a book (I believe Tim Ferris' 4 hour work week) that he offered a 110% money back guarantee and in the entire history of his business only one person took him up on it.

I've not seen the 110% money back guarantee in the wild however but it feels like a memorable offer. You'll have to carefully figure out how to avoid getting taken advantage of but I feel it might be a worthwhile risk.
I'm sorry to hear that, but you honestly have no idea if the psychedelic actually caused it. Any number of environmental factors could be at play.

“Using this rhetorical tactic, the conservative speaker can claim that they share your social goal, but simultaneously argue that the means you are using to achieve it will only make matters worse.”

I think this line in particular really demonstrates the resistance to ideological debate on the left (to say nothing of resistance on the right which I think has a different character). It’s like, these ideas that aren’t already part of your ideology are discredited because you assume they come from a place of bad-faith.

If you refuse to engage with someone’s ideas (who supposedly wants to solve the same problems you do!) because you’ve already assumed they’re evil- that seems like a pretty dangerous mindset to me.

For whom?
The reason they are not uniform is that the first part is essentially a time stamp. From the docs:

UUID() returns a value that conforms to UUID version 1 as described in RFC 4122. The value is a 128-bit number represented as a utf8 string of five hexadecimal numbers in aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee format:

The first three numbers are generated from the low, middle, and high parts of a timestamp. The high part also includes the UUID version number.

The fourth number preserves temporal uniqueness in case the timestamp value loses monotonicity (for example, due to daylight saving time).

The fifth number is an IEEE 802 node number that provides spatial uniqueness. A random number is substituted if the latter is not available (for example, because the host device has no Ethernet card, or it is unknown how to find the hardware address of an interface on the host operating system). In this case, spatial uniqueness cannot be guaranteed. Nevertheless, a collision should have very low probability.

The MAC address of an interface is taken into account only on FreeBSD and Linux. On other operating systems, MySQL uses a randomly generated 48-bit number.
This is a bit of a strawman argument: the parent post does not claim that everyone should have the same share of the pie, but that one should get a minimal share rather than nothing.

Measured in 1960 US$ the UK’s GDP per capita was 1181[1]. In 2016 US$ U.K. GDP per capita was 40,341[2]. Even if we assume the 2016 dollar is worth half as much as the 1960 one because of inflation the average U.K. resident is 15 times better off. If people wanted to live in 1960s houses with what people in the 1960s would have considered a lavish standard of living they could do it easily by working half the year, or having a part time job. The 1960s were already a hell of a lot better than 1930, when the essay was written.

You can build user defined functions in Excel with VBA as well as with Python through something like xlwings. One of the issues that I ran into with xlwings (or any third party integration into the Office suite) is portability between users.

But the fact remains I can go to any story there and point out the flaws because I have a whole universe of other facts to work with.
£100M Hazard announces to Chelsea fans ‘I have made my decision’
I was the CMO for a unicorn CPG[0], so slightly different take since we sold a physical product.

We went crazy with our money back guarantee. We had countless people whose 'dog' ate their product while still on the doorstep. One person said their cows ate $250 worth. Another person bought a few hundred dollars worth used from someone on a random forum. They all wanted a full refund. A newly hired email marketing coordinator mistakenly sent an offer for free product to 50,000 existing customers that was meant for a small group of new customers.

In every instance, we didn't think twice and gave them what they wanted. The outlier bad actors didn't make a dent when you looked at the entire business.

The philosophy that they were exploiting is what made us worth $1bn.

It is a common misconception though, perhaps bolstered by anecdotal experiences where the two drugs were confused. Larger doses of K can incapacitate you, so it's not totally off base to think it could be used in that way, but it's certainly not why it's banned by the DEA. It's banned bc of the drug war military-industrial complex.

I remember a time when basic auth gave you a unique url and the referrer was used to validate you. This was easy to break because you can fake the referrer.

So? It's a perfectly fine way to live for some folks in some circumstances. There's nothing wrong with that and more options in housing is better.

One advantage of small houses is that they tend to encourage more diversity of design, materials and higher build quality than your typical trailer or tyvek/plywood mass development tract home.

When I came to America I had nothing: no social network, no college degree, no money!

But America is a place full of opportunity and so after 10 years here and a lot of work I can look back and say that am much happier than I ever was in Europe since the day I got here! The deal is simple: work hard and the sky is the limit.

I started a family, have worked at Fortune 20 companies in management positions, bought a house a couple years ago. I am gonna retire at 50.

I hated living in Europe, the socialism makes people dead on the inside and there is no upward mobility for people that weren’t born into the right circumstances with the right degree’s and relationships :(

America has been excellent to me and I have done my best to do my part of the deal!

It’s not for everyone of course, there is some nice things about Europe and their socialism too...but overall I hated it simple because of what it does to people’s spirits.

America sure has its own problems...but IMO Europe is off much worse
You're arguing against points I'm not making, and equating the ability of alcohol and psychedelic drugs to detach you from reality is willful ignorance. This is the kind of argument that hurts the cause you're arguing in favor of.
Having grown up in trailers, I wholly disagree. Every trailer I've lived in is larger than any tiny home that I've seen, as they're striving to be as close to a "normal" house as possible. Tiny homes come from a completely different design philosophy, and as result, give a completely different experience than a trailer. They're also more portable than trailers, though the latter's name makes it sound more moveable.

You'd be more correct to say that tiny homes are gentrified RVs.
That cop was probably angry for another reason, as Rettungsgasse are virtually unheard of in France. Emergency vehicles use the "emergency lane" at the far right of highways.
There is no single entity of "the media" though. The whole point the OP was making was that you should seek our a variety of news sources and evaluate them. Would you say "repeating what reviews have told you about a product you're thinking of buying doesn't sound enlightened to me"?

The idea that everything you read in the news is garbage because they don't have a solid grasp on the strange esoterica we work in simply doesn't make any sense. There's no reason why any news organisation would be equally informed on every topic. So yeah, if I read an article in the Washington Post comparing relational databases I'd be suspicious. But if I read an article about tax policy, written by a journalist who has spent years studying the area, what on earth would it have to do with my database experience?

I've noticed that (warning: gross generalization incoming) women seem to communicate differently, on average, and tend to read between the lines to see if there is any hidden or implied meaning in a statement (negative or positive).

Western European countries hardly take immigrants. When you live in a homogenous, solely middle-class country like Sweden/Denmark/Norway, of course everything seems nice and comfortable.
