No, not at all. I don’t believe that; the point is that the magnitude of the impact is so dramatically greater that all of this other stuff is rounding error.

Drive a Tesla and put solar panels on your house and eat vegan and shop local at the co-op. Knock yourself out. But the single guy next door with no kids who drives a muscle car and eats big red steaks every day is still doing more for global warming than you are. It’s not even a question.
To be fair, that machine took N people to manufacture (along with upkeep, which I imagine that one farm person is no longer doing on the complicated farm machinery), and another M people to drill/refine/transport the fuel, fertilizer, pesticides, and other chemicals needed to run such a farm so efficiently. I wonder how big N+M+1 is..
First, like I mentioned, Spark uses separate contexts for all executors (by design). This means that running nested RDD mappings is a nightmare. Just Google "nested for each loop Spark" or something along those lines[1]. This is an extremely common paradigm, especially when dealing with more complex transforms (in my specific case, we needed to hit an API, and then hit another API based on results of the previous API).

Second, Spark is not re-entrant. This means that to really get usefulness out of Spark's massive parallelization, you need to use clever and non-obvious tricks to do something that "seems" simple[2]. In some extreme cases, the RDD needs to be fully serialized (danger zone if it's a big one).

Finally, and related to the two above, Spark is just simply strange. You really need to have a "parallel" mindset when writing code on a Spark cluster. I constantly had to look stuff up and documentation was spotty at best. Once you throw in the rest of the ensemble (Pandas, Numpy, etc.) you end up with a very domain-specific codebase. In reality, most companies will have datasets that could be ETL'd on my iPhone and a Spark cluster is just overkill.

I’m not convinced that the decline in birth rates is just because more children survive; that’s an assumption that as far as I know, nobody has ever rigorously checked. It smells fishy.

There are other possible explanations: birth control becoming available, women having to work full time, children are no longer exploitable cheap labor.

The big picture is that capitalism will only invest in something if the investor is able to also claim the gains. But the profits of having children go to society in general, not to a specific investor, therefore our children are under supported. The solution is probably going to either be socialism, or some sort of investment scheme where capitalists will pay people to have children but then they’ll be indentured servants or something.

Go ahead and call me crazy then come back and look at this post in 50 years.

Edit: actually it would probably work something like: we, babycorp, will pay you 250,000 dollars to pop out a baby, she will go to the finest schools, she will want for nothing, but at the age of 30 she will have to pay back the debt, with interest. (Which she can do by having kids of her own). This is basically how capitalism thinks, admit it, it’s not that far fetched.
Meditation sometimes reveals itself through meditation. It's kinda like recursion in programming. I come from Vietnam. Meditation in Vietnamese is translated literally to "sitting zen" (ngồi thiền). Sitting seems like the optimal balance point for meditation. Standing/walking has more distraction. Lying down makes you prone to sleeping. Now, I haven't figured out which sitting position is more optimal. Perhaps, the lotus position is popular for a reason.
Free markets mean any market participant can buy anything. Just like you log on to Robinhood and buy stocks or bonds, one of those users is the Government of Japan.

This is really only slightly simplified as they wouldn't use Robinhood, but they could. Convenience improvements work for all market participants.

Not an expert, but I believe it means that the country owes you money, to be paid back on some schedule, and in particular you can re-sell the object-that-says-you're-owed-money to other people and therefore there is a market value for it. It's like holding a mortgage - if I get a mortgage on a house, I owe the value of the mortgage to my bank, but only slowly. My bank can then resell the mortgage to another bank, who becomes the holder of the mortgage. They're owed money by me, which is good if they think I'm creditworthy and the interest rate on the mortgage is profitable for them, and bad if not. You might want to sell a debt to someone else if you want some fixed amount of money now instead of a greater, probably riskier amount of money in the future.

Near as I can tell, and I’ve checked on this infrequently over the past few years, Japan’s holding of US debt have always been within spitting distance of China’s, where spitting distance is a few hundred billion give or take. So the news in itself isn’t surprising.

That is to say, I think it would be a mistake to read much into this. The largest share of Federal debt is held domestically, really the lion’s share. China and Japan are generally within the trillion dollar range, and are always #1 and #2 foreign holders of US debt.
Uhm... I've worked at Cargill. You are quoting the whole value of a corporation not the total dealing with farmers. In fact, Cargill's grain division doesn't own any farms. Pork does, but that's not the type of farm we are talking about. Nothing owned by Cargill is listed as a family farm.

The article actually says United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that at least 30 percent of American farmland is owned by non-operators who lease it out to farmers. Yeah, that is a common arrangement that's been with us for decades.

Also, in some states, such as North Dakota, corporate farms are illegal http://inthesetimes.com/rural-america/entry/19224/north-dako...

I am a huge fan of Hakai Institute. I've read of so many rat infestations on islands around the world, but never realized they were happening so close to home. It's fascinating that rats, despite being so tenacious and versatile, never made it to some islands that seem so close to others which have always harboured rats. I guess they don't like the ocean.

In my many years of having bikes with internal gear hubs, some new and some decades old, I've never had a single with them.

When studying separation kernels, I remember that they were trying to safely/securely consolidate multiple systems (software and hardware) into fewer ones to save cost, size, energy, etc. Two things they were doing were separation kernels allowing lower-criticality stuff to be hosted with high-criticality and a special version of Ethernet (AFDX) that did something similar with provisions like reserving bandwidth.

So, you're saying there's no shared components at all... boards, data lines/switches, power lines/switches... between entertainment and critical systems? They run separate, highly-filtered power wires with separate boards with separate data lines for the two? No shared components at all?

If you like cold summers and fog over much of the city... Otherwise you'd likely prefer the weather in the peninsula, which is sunny and warm almost every summer day. In fact Redwood City's slogan is "Climate Best by Government Test", heh. But SF gets surprisingly cold even in the middle of summer.
Please, for all of us, make sure your test set contains a wide diversity of people - doing this testing on recruits from a local college or among friends would make it very easy to bias your results for accuracy on particular populations. it's critical that your device be equally accurate on tall people, short people, white people, black people, men, women, thin, fat, and people with various illnesses or other disorders that may affect either THC metabolism or produce abnormal breath results (e.g., excess ketones in the breath for a diabetic). and don't just listen to some random person on the internet for this, find a pro.
England would probably have been fine, considering they were mostly getting inefficient calories like beef butter, milk, and beef from Ireland. Although your citation of the outflows of food is actually a great way to prove my point. There was plenty of food to feed everyone even in the darkest of days, with farming techniques far less efficient than the ones we have now. But shitty economic policy (too small plots of land for tenant farmers, the whole landlord tenant system, colonialism, etc.) and failure to subsidize food consumption for the poor led to really terrible outcomes. Yet there was plenty of food production even when there were no subsidies.

Your second link doesn't say predicting the market is NP-hard. It says the opposite: that the market is only efficient if P=NP.

According to the paper, if you don't believe that P=NP then you believe that the market is inefficient, which means there's profit to be made. The paper even suggests how.

What does this have to do with anything? The problem with too much US debt is that we have to make interest payments on that debt, which now makes up ~10% of the annual budget (or about $400B/yr). That's expensive and going to get worse if we continue borrowing at unsustainable rates. It's also going to get a lot worse if investors start to worry the US might default on its debts and demand higher yields on return.

I'm not sure why you think it matters whether China or Europe is holding the debt.

more important than this study if done correctly is the fact that he built a framework that can ingest all this data and that he had access to all these datasets

typical hedge fund spends millions of dollars in order to build such frameworks and buying datasets, sure most academic papers fail if you replicate but the framework and datasets are very valuable because you can eventually find something on your own or an improvement on existing ideas if you keep trying hard enough + there are other sources of ideas like quant research from brokers, ideas from platforms like quantopian etc. but yea in general if you have an outstanding idea that works - you would have very less or no incentive to publish it. why would jim simons have his researchers publish anything when they can make money for him all day long everyday ... just my 2 cents.

These sort of papers don't look at all the fundamentals at once. They'll isolate one factor, or a small related group, and see if it's predictive.

Two simple factors that are well supported: on a risk-adjusted basis, stocks of small companies do better than big ones, and value stocks do better than growth stocks. ("Value" means the stock is cheap relative to some simple fundamental measure like the company's book value.)
If it’s not competitive then don’t take the job.

I highly doubt that anyone with a Netflix offer chose Toptal instead, if they did it was a blunder.

The variation of complexity of transforms across Enterprises and teams within Enterprises is quite large.

Spark and Hive (that I was product manager for, and used by hundreds of Enterprises) are used quite heavily in data engineering. Many transforms fit well into relational/set based model.

In your particular case, perhaps due to the nature of your transforms, it might not have been the best fit.

Also, if your data is small, it's not always a great fit. However, in many large companies, if they have 500 transforms and 30 are small - there is simplicity in using a single technology.
You’re pretty correct.

A simpler way to think of it is any data that comes off the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, or Cash Flow Statement - or can be directly calculated using such data.
