And in your hypothetical example, should insurance companies be required to cover this treatment? In other words, should other insurees be required to pay for it?
We're walking into the middle of an argument that's been going on for a while here.

"Economic(s) imperialism" is the tendency of economists to write papers topics outside traditional economics. While the people in (say) the sociology department seem to have to confine themselves to sociology.

As Tyler Cowen writes on Marginal Revolution [1] quoted by Kevin Munger in the piece this piece is responding to:

"
- Mammograms and Mortality: How has the Evidence Evolved?

- Surviving a Mass Shooting

- Representation is Not Sufficient for Selecting Gender Diversity

- Back to School: The Effect of School Visits During COVID-19 on COVID-19 Transmission

- The Public Health Effects of Legalizing Marijuana

Those are all new NBER working papers, issued today. To be clear, I do not intend this list as criticism, either of these papers or of the NBER (for one thing, I have not read them). But surely it is worth pointing out that something has changed. If you think economists should be doing these papers, does that translate into a relatively low opinion of the quantitative standards in those fields proper? Or maybe the economists are better at spotting interesting questions and seeing the work through? Yes or no? How exactly should we imagine the (possible) comparative advantage of economists with these topics? I mean these as genuine questions, not snarky ones. I have never been a per se opponent of economic imperialism.

I think this is a huge distinction. Stable career prospects are a huge factor in choosing a partner. And the HN poster you are replying to probably has better career prospects than most.

This all hangs together, no job, no partner, no kids, no home.

I am just a dev but support has direct access to me, when a customer has a problem that support can't handle the issue is forwarded to me and most of the time I fix the issue.

A small company really needs to try to keep each customer. In the past I worked on even smaller company I was doing support and dev , this forced me to automate support related tasks like gathering reports with detailed information, then as dev I could get user reports and fixed. This would not have worked if the application would have been fulled of bugs but it was done in a managed language so there were few bugs and some of them were not the app but the platform.
Maybe not for general-purpose computing. I've used it for on-the-fly code generation (hacking display rotation into the Windows 3x BitBlt engine) and programming special-purpose media accelerators. In both cases you end up creating a bunch of convenience #defines or macros that generate the bits, which immediately takes you back into tiny language territory rather than pure machine code. The relative ease of creating new programmable hardware in FPGAs is another place this might occur.

Hackers and makers How do you manage funds and expenses?
As an early stage maker, how do you manage funds and expenses? Do you have full fledged bank accounts opened or just put together hacks? E.g. we at Narration Box have a transferwise account. We get payouts from stripe and then pay expenses using the wise account. But since transferwise is not a bank and basically a "money transfer" company, we face couple of problems like payouts sometimes get delayed, we end up paying ridiculous transaction fees, etc. Is there a better way to deal with this kind of stuff for early stage products? Would love to hear your ways and opinions.

So yes, there's been a market for this on lots of consumer devices for quite some time. Most people just don't know it exists.

Edited my comment a bit as doing a bit more research its not quite as common as I believed but does exist on a number of consumer devices. I still stand by my point that most people don't know about this feature of their hardware when present as most people don't understand the difference between a router and an access point.

One interesting thing to me is that Bitcoin is a lot easier to steal than money in banks. A bad actor can steal your private key and take all of your BTC, and it's gone forever. Try doing that with a bank account -- the bank will back you up, there are transfer limits.

I think this is only one part of the story for them. If 70% of their country is un-banked, many transactions are probably in cash, and there probably are a lot of undeclared sales and income that is not being taxed.

If they can really get their population using tools that would make it easier for the government to collect taxes, make it easier for tourists to visit and spend money, etc then the mining rewards are only one small part of their plan.

Of course none of this really needs to happen with crypto, they certainly could solve these problems in other ways, but I can't really blame them for trying this out.
They did test this drug for years, the conclusion was that the drug does absolutely nothing for Alzheimer's. A big part of what FDA approval means is that it's been confirmed that the drug does what the makers of the drug claim it does. If that weren't the case, many drugs that have not been approved over past decades would have been.
That's because Robinhood had the bulk of the retail mania, and were thus the most affected brokerage.

Other retail brokerages, that were less popular with the WSB crowd never even stopped purchases of GME, because GME is was a small fraction of their trade volume - and thus, their collateral obligations did not grow much.

You are correct for not wanting to use them to trade, for two reasons.

1. If you are actively trading, you are almost certainly throwing away money. Don't actively trade. Just buy an index fund and forget about it.

2. If you are actively trading, and you are a serious, informed individual (which already excludes the overwhelming majority of people who were buying GME), and you want 24/7 uptime, you shouldn't use a discount zero-fee brokerage that's popular on WSB. They won't be able to guarantee that uptime when WSB decides to take one side of a huge trade.
I think if a security check that extensively searched every part of every single entrant to a venue failed to find a gun, and that gun was used to injure other people at that venue, then the victims would have grounds to sue whoever performed that security check, yes.

Especially if that security check refused admission to anyone with recording equipment at over 100% success (i.e. they turned away many people because they thought they had recording equipment, or might at some point have it). Where the security check is obviously more about protecting the venue's revenue stream than protecting the attendees, despite being advertised as necessary for the safety of the attendees.

What finally worked for me is listening to history audio books/lectures.

It takes my mind off of real life things, and since it's just audio there is no light involved. History is perfect because there aren't many conceptual hurdles to understanding the material that would require really intense focus. I start to drift off after 30 minutes to 1.5 hours very consistently. It's also easy to find new listening material since there's practically an infinite amount of it.

As a bonus, I've learned a lot about history this way.
Doesn't stop but reduces a lot. You are about 10x less likely to catch covid with a vaccine and about 2x less likely to spread it if you do.

Also if you compare a population of 100 million people who mostly have that 20x protection with one that doesn't and infect one person the the end result is one or two infections in the first case and about 100 million in the second.

But obviously that's super suspect when the end result is still granting themselves a razors-and-blades monopoly over key replacement parts.
I think this elite notion is over-simplified and inaccurate. It suggests that some significant portion of students are at these kind of "walled garden", elite institutions where students become disconnected from the struggles of "real people".

80% of students go to a school where over half of applicants are accepted. Yes, these schools definitely are centers of, frankly, liberal idealism and free-spiritedness. But I think that would be the case in any system where young people are pretty unsupervised and have lots of time to read and study (or party). In my experience though, they aren't factories for elites in the common sense of that word. They're just a reflection of how you need much more training to be competitive in the job market today.

There's nuance to this; the deletes / overwrites are accomplished by bulk wiping entire blocks.

Rather than change the paint color in a hallway you have to tear down the house and build a new house in the vacant lot next door that's a duplicate of the original, but with the new hallway paint.

To optimize, you keep a bucket of houses to destroy, and a bucket of vacant lots, and whenever a neighborhood has lots of "to be flattened houses" the remaining active houses are copied to a vacant lot and the whole neighborhood is flattened.

So, things get deleted, but not in the way people are used to if they imagine a piece of paper and a pencil and eraser.

I think in a true efficient market there would be no arbitrage between renting and buying. There would just be oscillations around an equilibrium.

That algorithm could be improved (for accuracy, not speed) by replacing sums of the smallest number with multiplications as I suppose that multiplication of more than 3 identical numbers or more is loosing less precision than multiple additions.

For example:

(3+4) => [7, 7, 7, 8]
(7*3) => [21, 8]
(8+21) => 29
