  • “Good” is a pretty subjective term, especially in this context, but I would agree to the point that the amount of money made is not the best metric of a “good” movie. Anyway, Scorsese is pretty easy to ignore as we all go on with our lives, and I hope he doesn’t take away from anyone’s enjoyment of whatever movies they want to watch.




  • Anecdotally, I feel like im a pretty different person than I was when I was 22. Had first kid at 34, and am now 42.

    Analytically, I can’t know for sure if I would have significantly different feelings (e.g. regret, relief, etc.) if I had made different decisions. I recognize that the world is different now for 22 year olds compared to when I was 22. If “regret” avoidance is the main objective, then I’d guess that you could make a better assessment of potential outcomes (your possible feelings of regret) than your family as long as you’ve considered all of those outcome scenarios.


  • Risk Management. I have some very limited experience with using R, but not really any Python experience. There was a good set of tools (Excel add-ons) from ProbabilityManagement.org that gave a lot of flexibility in the models that you could build (e.g. not restricting a user to building financial risk models or schedule risk models like a lot of other risk management apps). I’m not really trying to complain about not being able to find this on Linux, and run an air-gapped Windows machine to hang on to this capability.

    I also run silly things like modeling expected dollars needed to complete a Funko collection.
