> Customers dictate what gets produced.

Sure? It seems to me that the companies dictate what I consume. Many many times I wanted to buy exactly the same clothes item or shoes to replace an old one (because I know exactly how it'd fit and wear) only to discover it has been discontinued with no obvious "heir". Sometimes only 6 months later...

Whats the percentage of people chasing "fashion", especially after mid 30s?

Why massive discounts seem to be much more of a thing in the US compared to Europe?

If anything focus gets better without sugar and excessive carbs for me - but those work well for outdoors or workouty days I find.

Looks like it's true that low-carb adapted athletes rely more on fat oxidation during exercise but performance suffers nonetheless because of increased oxygen demands that basically cannot be met.

If your employer gets you a nvda card or openai subscription, it doesn't automatically mean you are getting richer, agreed?

And the richness of life it's another philosophical discussion altogether...

Yoir choice between the red pill, the blue pill or no pill is pretty obvious but this choice is highly subjective.

I'm with you on this. People who pathologize themselves or others - assuming they're malfunctioning rather than acknowledging they might simply be living a life that doesn't fit - have a very limited way of looking at things.

How is it unstable? It's one of the most reliable pieces of software I have used honestly.

In any case 'nix-shell -p erlang|elixir' does not seem too complicated to me.

Well Nix is the only sane way I know to manage fully reproducible envs that incorporate programs/scripts spanning multiple ecosystems. Very common situation in applied data analysis.

Yeah I think there's no point denying that we humans need and are affected by narratives. At least on the psychological level, which, in turn, may have impact on the body as well.

Moreover, the republicans are reported as having lower T on average but the difference is not statistically significant.

It looks weird to me they don't report how age behaves across groups and don't correct for age in baseline comparisons.

What's quintessential quant finance? Black-Scholes and no-arbitrage pricing. Don't you agree it's much more of a tool than a theory of how the world works.

Excuse me? Quant finance doesn't claim to be devising grand theories about how the world operates (is more akin to engineering). And when it does, any delineation from economics is moot.

Modelling isn't the higher intellectual pursuit it's made out to be. Imo designing theoretical models post-hoc to "support" a desired conclusion is not unheard of in econ/finance.

Imo the economics profession very much suffers from inferiority complex known as "physics envy".

'Course it's hypocritical. What is quickly condemned as "bad" in a foreign context is often not held to the same standard when it appears within Europe.
