Like, I know this tweet was shown to me as rage bait -- good on you, algorithm -- and yet it is an attitude that many people, even my own age, have!.

Not to mention that marriage has recently (relatively speaking) been about love. It has, for the longest time, been an instrument for consolidation of political power. I see no reason why one should not protect themselves -- legally -- upon marrying.

My partner and I have a legal document which outlines who will get what upon the end of the relationship, and I brought it up because we were in love then (and still are) and I wanted to promise -- while I was in love -- those things to her.

The "prenups are planning to fail, and it is sad when people make one another sign one" reflects an old world mentality and frankly ignores the fact that a) nearly 1 in 2 marriages end in divorce, and b) divorce was probably not feasible up until relatively recently.

The "sad[ness]" of this fact disappears once you consider:. - Life Happens.- It is prudent to plan, and .- Commit while you are in love that you will treat the other person fairly if and when point 1) occurs.
This is one of the saddest facts I’ve heard maybe ever. What’s wrong with people 😭.

Actual question: Why trust MTA? I feel like anything other than last touch is uninterpretable and doesn't point to anything useful.
Lots of brands are in the market for an MMM right now. But when I talk to many that already have an MMM, the majority are not happy with theirs. What do we think is happening?. We're seeing that in our recent industry survey of DTC / e-comm leaders too (see image).

Hey @ramit , just had a friend have their house appraised in prep to sell. Home was appraised for LESS than what they have a mortgage for. Housing prices don't always go up! Thought you'd get a kick out of that.

P(Wealthy | home) vs P(Home | wealthy).
I always love these comments because I tell them that yeah man, people who wear Brunello Cucinelli also have 500x the net worth of H&M customers so if you buy a $3,000 sweater, you'll become wealthy! Right?. They get very mad.

Hey @MarkMcGrathCFP @benjaminwfelix . I submitted a T1213 for RRSP contributions. It was approved. Should the number on my letter of authority be an F1 value or a K3 value? My employer seems to think it is K3 despite the form saying F1 and my tax deductions are too little.

Anyone has resources on the normal normal hierarchal model aside from BDA3? I'd like to have a marginal posterior I can sample from for the popuation level variance.

Not me hunting down a single divergence. Its not about the adapt_delta, its about sending a message.

R is not even on that plot, which means you have to so actively dislike R that you realize opportunities to dunk on it. R living rent free in people's minds.
R <- lol.

Am I becoming a better engineer, or are the tools making it easier?.

Why don't we all just not work with data. I don't care anymore.

Stats questions in an interview can be kind of bullshit because a lot depends on how you learned and from who. E.g. Biostatistics preaches Table 1 Fallacy, but I guess economists do worry about covariate imbalance even in randomized trials?.
