No, because the denominator of the 11.8% profit margin is net revenue, while the denominator for a 11.8% annual return is the total invested capital. Google has 32% operating margins, but that doesn't mean its stock goes up 32% every year.

here she confuses an 11.8% profit margin with an 11.8% annual return

We started listening on your recommendation and I am both grateful and hate you for it

The First Tycoon - the Vanderbilt biography was great. As is the Brooklyn Bridge book by McCullough

And the worst bits of new apartments come from rules about breaking up the massing making them look disjointed and jumbled

@mikeduncan.bsky.social you should do a special interview episode with the Weinersmiths

Philly does residential permits and it works completely fine, and it prevents lots of the insurance fraud of registering in FL or wherever

To be fair, all this can prove is that as N --> infinity, p(|(1+1)-2| < epsilon) --> for all epsilon

instagram stories need the same feature! Show me your vacations and meals and family and concerts and sports. Don't show me 50 reductive political memes every day

You could do pre-processing on queries, but that basically doubles the computational cost

They don't know what the other queries are unless you pre-process queries and collect and store metadata. Context windows are still relatively small, and there's little to no persistent memory

isn't the ML answer "throw it all into an xgboost and let the algorithm figure out the interactions and nonlinearities, interpretability be damned?"

Whereas the stats approach is regression with store dummies, and then regularized interactions of the other variables with store

Yeah this kind of has a "using a word to define a word" quality to it. Like you are using math that relies on 1+1=2 to prove 1+1=2. But I think any MC sim is going to hit that issue

Something like:
Have a big field. Say (0,10) x (0,10)
Have two unit squares located somewhere.
Have one 2x1 rectangle somewhere.
Randomly generate N points across the whole field.
Show the number in the two squares is equal to the number in the 2x1 field. (Ratio goes to 1 as N goes to infinity)

We have an EV9, and level 1 you get just over 1% per hour. Battery is 100kWh and outlet delivers 1.3kW

My elementary school had two in the front yard, so in my brain they're everywhere in Cleveland, but that's basically the only one I can remember?

I think the crises come in second and third tier cities where values slide below maintenance costs. Manhattan is fine, Cleveland or Youngstown has less cushion for falling demand

We told the kids they had to wait until 6 to come down for presents. They all took the longest loudest joint bathroom trip at 4:45 🙃

Lol kratovil came to my apartment when he ran for mayor and he seemed like a zealot. He probably wasn't wrong that the current guys were at least moderately corrupt, but he was so paranoid and saw scandal everywhere it was hard to take him seriously

I have window shopped, and the tax/fees make it way less relatively affordable (compared to my Philly rowhome) than the list prices suggest
