I got sent a ton of (quite private) PII from T-Mobile in Holland for some poor schmuck who can't understand that his email address is not a.byss@gmail.com, or alternatively isn't actually putting an email address and some other idiot is deciding, "This guy is called Adrian Byss, his email is probably a.byss@gmail.com". I've had the email abyss@gmail.com* since not long after gmail became available to the public. If I had less scruples I could easily have stolen this man's identity with the amount of information they sent.

* obviously this is not my email address, but it demonstrates how the situation arose.

I would set all accounts to send monthly/weekly statements and get PDF's that way into an email. Then all that is needed is a python downloader + scraper + visualizer based on how much automation you need.

I'd avoid using any service to do this for you after what PLAID pulled off on people by storing their credentials and getting more info than what was actually needed.
I just had a bank’s fraud department send me an SMS code that I had to read back to them to verify myself to have my account unblocked from a fraud block that was incorrectly applied to my account. That’s Citi. So the banks are helping to create this problem.
Landing in a large-ish python project without type annotations is a pain. Author says that he won't use type annotations because they "can be wrong", well, you only rely on variables names and documentation for that, you have even less chance to get that right.

Is that "line" variable a "LineInvoice" or "InvoiceLine" (yes, two different classes) ? Oh, right, both can be used in this place exclusively because one is subset of the other... sigh
For what it's worth, I had a similar experience trying a strict AIP diet for a few months - some improvements in my autoimmune symptoms (some psorasis I've had since childhood), but nothing definitive. When I tried a strict carnviore diet, basically cutting out the vegetable and fruits allowed on AIP, my existing patches of psoriasis disappeared over a few weeks, and no new ones appeared.

Since then I've gone on and off of strict carnivore, but anytime I reintroduce vegetables and/or some other carb sources, I'll start to see new patches of psoriasis pop back up within a 2 or 3 weeks usually. So I usually balance on that line now, returning to carnivore if my symptoms start to bother me too much.

That was just an example, but we can go into more detail - at every point, nutrition studies are highly questionable. Sample sizes are usually minuscule (you can find important studies with 5-10 subjects, and even the largest studies rarely have more than a few hundred), they are often biased samples (only overweight people, only people with heart disease or diabetes etc.), they often don't account for likely confounding factors (using weight without accounting for muscle mass, no accounting for stress, time in the sun etc.) and on and on. And all of this in a subject where we basically don't have any clear idea about how much metabolism differs from one person to the next, based on what factors (e.g. gut microbiome has only been recently identified as a major component of digestion that can differ significantly between people; psychological effects of diet are even less well understood, even though your food choices are obviously not coming from some pure realm of reason).

Basically the digestive system is far too complex for us to understand from first principles at this time. Your diet has a very complex and very slow effect on your body, with some exceptions. Numerous diseases and environmental factors impact how this plays out exactly. So, to do real research in nutrition, the only chance right now would be to conduct massive studies over long periods of time with rigorous controls on subjects' nutrition and activities - which is basically impossible, or at least prohibitively expensive.

Instead, we get conclusions drawn from studies of a few dozen people over a few months or at best a year (in "long-term" studies). Or, we get conclusions drawn from comparing diet across huge populations ("the Mediterranean diet", "the Japanese diet", "the American diet" etc) with no possibility to control for obvious differences in nutrients, environmental factors, lifestyle differences, access to healthcare etc. Both of these are worthless conclusions, they don't tell you anything at all.

The only successes of nutrition science have been identifying the most basic nutrients we need to survive at a basic level (protein, fat, carbohydrates, and the various vitamins and minerals). Basically nothing beyond that should be trusted.

As a fun historical note, after the discovery of the macro-nutrients there was a budding field of nutrition scientists confidently recommending optimal diets using scientific methods. Unfortunately, they had no idea about the existence of micro-nutrients, so actually following some of their diets you could actually end up getting scurvy or other serious malnutrition diseases. The current slew is not that bad, but I wouldn't be surprised if in the future we will look back similarly at some common diet advice of today.

Two things that stood out me, reading that too:

1) “This is your chance to be part of this exclusive group.” sets off all kinds of hype and peak bubble flag signals.

2) I have found it extremely difficult to find the actual text of the original agreement. Which is odd, considering that the agreement itself is the actual value based on the IP. That kind of nonchalant mentality towards assets us both too risky for me and also sends up even more peak bubble red flag signals when we are seeing NINJA type investing again.

I agree. For a lot of people their "server" is just an old laptop running headless in a closet. However eventually one will want more memory and storage, and both are highly constrained on M1 products at the moment.

The demand for high density deployment of Apple hardware has always been present, but the bigwigs from Cupertino could not care any less. On the market one can find all sorts of adapters, both commercial and jury-rigged, for rack mounting a couple of Mac Mini units. And there are companies whose entire business is renting out bare metal Macs in a colo so developers could do their work remotely. I just came across the article below and it made me chuckle - apparently this company went as far as putting dozens of iMac Pro in a rack with the screen facing sideways, and this hotchpotch of gear for rent somehow makes good money.

>Arguably the hypothesis that matches the data from the DK paper best is: "Everyone thinks they're average regardless of skill level"

No, if you look at the graph[0] everyone thinks they are above average (over 50). The worst think they are a little above average and everyone else thinks they are better and better but increasing by less than the real difference.

At any rate, the issue seems to be with how people imagine everyone performs - they seem to think there are a lot of people who are really bad for a start, and seemingly a bit more people who are really good than there are (at least if we assume the results are accurate).

Ah, fairy nuff. I suspected, but assumed good faith. I suppose this means I can't possibly sway you, as much of your core identity is very tightly coupled with these beliefs.

I'll offer a couple of things. A small one first - consider that myriad is an adjective, not a collective noun.

For rational readers, being told that a work is inerrant, and then finding myriad inconsistencies within that work, or claims of historical actions that make no sense within the context of the times & places described, along with the conflicting contemporary historical record (in the case of the bible, basically no contemporary corroboration whatsoever) -- but then having those contradictions or inconsistencies hand-waved away by trying to claim a 'while' addresses them (it does not), or trying to bundle them all up in a dismissive 'does it matter what colour the robe was?' -- can be frustrating.

Obviously an inerrant work shouldn't contain even weirdly specific wardrobe inconsistencies, but that's not the point, as we can agree that one is a relatively trivial error (but an error nonetheless).

So, the moneylenders story - one of the most famous in the book - is a favourite for me.

Few people, including the strong believers, can answer the question of whether this happened early on in the story, or just before the end (ie. did it kick-start the character's main story arc for the next 3-5 years, or was it a key event in motivating the Jewish leaders to orchestrate his death some weeks before he was killed).

And, just like the robe's colour, it depends on which gospel you read, because both versions are in the bible.

Apologists will typically claim 'it must have happened twice', but that's a weak retort given how monumental it must have been in order to be reported in the first place.

I recently finished David Fitzgerald's second book in his trilogy 'Nailed', which was a fascinating read (the first in the series is lighter & shorter, but a compelling introduction to the subject). Prior to publishing the first book, he wrote an essay that you may find interesting [1] that describes some more profound contradictions & provably-false myths / beliefs.

For maximum creepiness, I recommend adding a small speaker. And a covert way to have it act perfectly normal, so you can say "it never does that for me" followed by a quick demonstration (most simple: have it misbehave with some chance, and then have it behave normally until a number of requests have been made or a timeout hit).

> Carnivore and keto diets are pretty much how much of the world ate until the 40s or so.

I guess it depends on "where".

The so-called Mediterranean diet, which is the "normal" way of eating in Italy, basically consists of bread/pasta/vegetables and (olive) oil (but is not in any way vegetarian or vegan as eggs/poultry/cheese/fish are also largely present).

Traditionally red meat was eaten once or maybe twice a week.

So, not carnivore and not keto.
You have only picked on one source, and the way seekingalpha works anybody can present their technical case. It's about the arguments not who delivers the message. Also very few analysts have the courage to make a negative analysis of Tesla, or they risk becoming a target of the fanbois. They are easy to identify as they always say Elon instead of Elon Musk. :)

When something starts to look like a religion its difficult to use some objective analysis of stock price. But to even justify the current valuation, and for it to make sense, in 6 to 7 years from now, 1 in 3 of the 70 million vehicles sold annually worldwide would have to be a Tesla.

Tesla valuation is the total of all other manufacturers combined, and simply a product of the biggest FED induced market bubble in history: https://www.5yearcharts.com/nasdaq-5-years-charts-of-perform...

Tesla shares were at 88 USD in Jan 2020 and are now in 2022 at 1000 USD, so two years later. What technological or dramatic market share breakthroughs, justify 1036 % increase in two years?

And are even analysts justifying this insanity...A bit more sanity in the links below:

Sadly, dataclasses ignore type hints as well

this is excatly what pydantic was made for. As well as its integration with FastApi.

FastApi, is really the most beautiful way, I have seen. To use the python type system to its fullest.
Python's base philosophy is duck typing. Whenever I read complaints like this the root cause is almost always trying to turn Python into something that it isn't instead of embracing what it is (if this isn't feasible, then Python is the wrong choice).

Programming in Python worrying about types instead of behavior reminds me of the quote "you can write FORTRAN in any language".
The algo surely is quite basic. I believe JanneVee is saying that a "rather basic" algorithm that tries to maximize engagement drifts towards promoting the more divisive posts that amplify our tribalistic tendencies.

And by giving more visibility to polarizing content it incentivises others to create more polarising content.

The algorithm therefore is a positive feedback loop of polarization. It doesn't just show what we are, but amplifies our worst (or tribalistic) tendencies.

To riff on one of the author's previous comments, if height was uncorrelated with age for 0-20 year olds, that would be very surprising, and hopefully we wouldn't need to make posts saying "the fact 20 year olds are just as likely to be 1 ft tall as 1 year olds is not a physical phenomenon, it's a statistical effect."

Assuming 0 growth the formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is: annual cashflow / discount rate = present value

So based on your numbers, the discount rate is 5.6%. For personal investments, the discount rate is often used is the rate of return that could be obtained from other investments. If we look at stocks (s&p500) around 7% post-inflation return historically, using that as the discount rate, the present value is $114,253 / 7% = $1.6m. That is to say 2.1M is better off in the stock market than buying this, if you assume 7% returns on average.

EDIT: Actually if you assume this tracks inflation (not sure if this is true) and payout grows 2% per year, the discount rate is closer to 7.5%. The formula including growth: http://news.morningstar.com/classroom2/course.asp?docId=1451...

I don't think your interpreting the sentence correctly, I think it's more correct to read it as:

> We don't [only] need [the formal discipline of mathematics known as] statistics to learn about the world.

Sure, there are things you can only functionally ascertain through statistical analysis. But not everything in the world needs rigorous statistics.
>The problem isn't really people being anti-science or pro-science. The problem is science being done poorly, whether by scientists in the credentialed sense, or amateurs.

That's a very simplistic take on it. Bad science is a necessary part of the process and dealt with accordingly by the scientific method.

The problem is that science that is bad or incomplete is being reported as fact or truth, or arguably even worse, as entertainment in order to gain an audience. This is what actually eroded the trust in science, as people kept repeating things that reinforced and further misshaped their biases.

Human nature tends to distrust stuff we don't understand. Hence, our trust in science, which in many fields is often beyond the understanding of laymen, have to have constant reinforcement. However, the goal of media, and especially social media is to increase eyeballs for their content, and the truth sells a lot less well than sensationalised content pandering to the audience.

Simply put, there is not much profit in reporting science truthfully, and every incentive to sensationalise it.
If all large corporations move towards it there must be some kind of unambiguous benefit to them.

Read the actual paper [1], there is so much more than those charts. They ask for an assessment of the own test score and an assessment of the ranking among the other participants to distinguish between misjudgments of the own abilities and the abilities of others. They give participants access to the tests of other participants and check how this affects self assessments - competent participants realize that they have overestimated the performance of other participants and now assess their own performance as better than before, incompetent participants do not learn from this and also assess their performance even better than before. They randomly split participants into two groups after a test, give one group additional training on the test task, and then ask all of them to reconsider their self assessments - incompetent participants that received additional training are now more competent and their self assessment becomes more accurate. This is not everything from the paper and probably also somewhat oversimplified, I just want to provide a better idea of what is actually in there.

Everyone is free to question the results, but after actually reading the entire paper I can confidently say that poking a bit at the correlation in the charts falls way short of undermining the actual findings from the paper. The actual results are much more detailed and nuanced than two straight lines at an angle.

What you say is my experience as well, with one caveat: the large corporation is usually much less productive then the smallish team that actually able to "just do [thing]".

It's just that it's impossible to scale that approach, so the larger the enterprise gets, the less you'll actually be shipping... As pretty much all of them seem to think it's easy to scale development teams, increasing their headcount and running productivity against a wall.

A small team has barely any space for Juniors however, so I think it's very good that both approaches exist in the wild
