R has a lot high quality packages which implement e.g. frequently used sophisticated regression analysis algorithms. Python has these too but in my experience they are not that well tested and suffer from bugs.


Maybe gauging the depth of the water with a lead weight.


Newer CSS features like flexbox, grid and media queries were added to reduce the need for frameworks like bootstrap.


Yes and no. The key selling point of Bootstrap (and similar) was that a design-blind (so to speak) backend dev/eng could use it and would have to work very hard to "design" something that was ugly, hard to look at, hard to use, etc.

Sure there are a bunch of helper classes, and such, but the key is an end product that does look like a backend dev/eng built it.


Frameworks still do a lot of the grunt work for the responsive breakpoints.


It can but it won't result in surprise bill because the bandwidth is capped.


Very cool. I hope some day all autoimmune diseases are prevented and no lifelong treatment is necessary. A lot of exciting research around the hygiene hypothesis, even though the progress has been slow, it's going forward.


Will this increase the risk of hyperopia? Afaik its common people are both myopic and hyperopic at the same time


In biology they use terms like "fitness" or "reproductive success" for this. "Superior" is a bit loaded since many people have more or less neanderthal dna.


Also "superior" implies some sort of objective measure of progress that evolution is moving towards. Whereas "reproductive success" better captures the idea that selected biological traits are situational. Always remember that lowly rodents were "superior" to the mighty dinosaurs during the Cretaceous extinction period.


Why compare these particular countries? And why is x axis on different scale for each country?


Arent stock market transactions public information or am I mistaken? Someone could find out who did the shorting?


The SEC has access to all trade data, but public market trade data doesn’t have any identifying information, time and sales data consists of just that.

For example, ‘bought/sold x units of y instrument at timestamp’. You might also get the exchange it was traded on, and possibly other information depending on who you buy market data from.


The fact that they it hasn't come out who did it makes me half-wonder if it's because it's very embarassing. Maybe someone connected to intelligence agency, rather than someone connected to Hamas.


There are various Twitter accounts tracking daily trades (i.e. calls with single day expiry) and correlating them to the news cycle such as acquisitions and other events with significant price movement implications for specific companies. Basically there is insider trading going on daily where the returns are 100-400x in a single trading day. I think the reality is more simple than we tend to think and the SEC just doesn't have the technical chops nor the time to go after all of these.

What are are some of the X/Twitter handles doing that you're talking about?


its probably not that deep, the SEC probably doesn't care or didn't find anything in their purview

fraudulent insider trading requires the trader to have a contract from the company about not disclosing, a terrorist attack doesn't involve that, there are plenty of times when you can trade on non public information. its meant other things before the courts have just narrowed it over and over again

Yeah they dont report standard errors or confidence intervals but I can see the >$100,000 income, stealing group is potentially so small there is just high error compared to other groups.
