The list of [[libraries that Mode supports|https://mode.com/help/articles/notebook/#supported-libraries]] makes for a good list of libraries and directions in DataAnalysis that one could/should check out. For instance, prior to seeing this page I hadn't heard of the notion of "defensive data analysis" ([[see Engarde|https://engarde.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html]]) and I hadn't seen a description of survival analysis that was nearly [[this good|https://lifelines.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Survival%20Analysis%20intro.html]] (from the Lifelines package).

Last Friday and Saturday I was wondering about whether if a dataset excludes a median statistic but provides `max`, `min`, and `avg`, one could still use the midpoint of max and min (`(max + min)/2`) as a stand-in for the median, comparing this midpoint with the avg to determine whether the distribution considered is skewed. I suggested to Ryan that it might be possible for one to use a measure of (`Avg/Midpoint`) to decide whether a given average (avg mean) is above or below the median, but I'd need to test this by running simulations (my first instance of realizing if/when simulations might be run and why!) with known medians.
I was considering this after looking over a salary guide/report provided by the recruiting agency that I've been working with, [[Accounting Principals|http://accountingprincipals.com]]. The guide provided only upper bounds, lower bounds, and averages for salaries across many positions. I was worried that the averages would be skewed, so I got to thinking if/how I might be able to use the other data that is given to determine whether it is indeed skewed. The above formula was what I came up with for comparison (`Avg/((max + min)/2)`), but I'm still not certain whether it'd behave in the way that I'm hoping it does, either always or a decent % of the time.
Edit: May 23, 2019: I think that this test would fail in precisely the cases I hope to use it to detect, cases in which there's skewness

Relative environmental costs/benefits (social? ScopeOfApplication between Social/Private in [[Economics]], EnvironmentalEcon) in terms of freezing veggies to lock in nutrients versus canning [it was suggested to me by a friend that canning removes nutrients from vegetables whereas freezing them does not]. However, is the benefit conferred to an individual that consumes frozen veggies, from the added nutrients, worth the cost of maintaining the frozen state of veggies? [Could change according to changes in the efficiency of freezing and temperature control technology, such as [[passive heaters/coolers that are well insulated via vacuum technology|https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2014/07/cooking-pot-insulation-key-to-sustainable-cooking.html]]; the initial canning process may be more energy-intensive than freezing and maintenance of a frozen state]

Looking into Logit and Probit statistical methods! ...And how they differ from linear regressions! https://stats.stackexchange.com/a/30909 talks about the meat of linear models. + there's other insightful responses to the question that prompted it ("Difference between logit and probit models").
Did you know that "Probit" means ''prob''ability un''it''? Does "Logit" then mean logical unit? Apparently not; rather, it deals with logarithms: "the logit function gives the log-odds, or the logarithm of the odds" ([[Wiki article|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logit]]).
I'm looking into this for a couple of reasons. Firstly because Ryan and I were recently talking about it. Secondly, I haven't been exposed to much non-linear regression thinking/methodology. I'm aware of the case in which one determines the probability that a dependent variable is `True` given various independent variables, which I think is [[Probit]], but I'm uncertain. And I'm quite certain that this would be a good/useful thing to know. Thirdly, I saw the post "[[Linear Regression in Python|https://realpython.com/linear-regression-in-python/]]" on Planet Python, which reminded me that I should delve into learning something that doesn't involve linear regressions.
Oh and on the DataFramed podcast, whose archives I've been listening to, the speakers have mentioned a couple of times that using "logistic regression" ("Logit," right?) is often either sufficient enough for many applications of statistics/DataScience within business versus MachineLearning or it's more efficient/[[marginally|MarginalAnalysis]] insightful.
---
On the mention of "marginally" above, I think that I'll now make a page for MarginalAnalysis that I can link to when I mean to use the word "marginal" in the way that the term is used in economics. Ryan and I were discussing that it can be very confusing to people that are more familiar with the conventional usage of the term "marginal", which suggests that a given thing --- the marginal thing --- is insignificant or inconsequential. In economics, *marginal* talks about the addition of one unit of something to a whole. For example, the addition of the integer one (`1`) to a different integer one (`1`) leaves you with a group that includes two ones. [Funny, I had attempted to use this to discuss rates of change via adding one, but in attempting to structure this statement I'm wondering again about how numbers "work". I've here "formed" a set that has a "length" of two, as it includes two "objects" (can you tell that my time spent with [[Python]] has changed me?). But when I'm attempting to add the integers within the set (`1` and `1`) together, I appear to be doing something different than simply getting the length of the set. (Perhaps I'm mostly being confused and amused by that in this case the length of the set happens to equal what would also be the sum of the integers contained within the set.) But the addition seems to involve some additional process being done over the set, or maybe conducting some "operation" or behavior that involves all of the objects/elements/items contained within the set in question.]

Pandoc seems to handle putting multiple Markdown files into an ePub file as if they were all of one document, as the table of contents of an ePub that I generated using Pandoc listed all instances of H1 headings as top level items, rather than making them sub items of a top level item that accorded to each individual file inputted. One file included multiple H1 headings, and the headings were all represented in the TOC.
I used the [[guide here that shows how to generate an ePub file from multiple files|https://pandoc.org/epub.html]], and I learned that I can place the input files' names all on one line --- I don't need to break the file names onto multiple lines, with a backslash to indicate that the same command is still proceeding on (or at least I think that's what the backslashes are for).
This is all in an effort to produce ePubs prior to pushing any changes of one of my books to Leanpub --- letting me stay on their Free tier.

[[When Ryan let me know about the Mastering Econometrics videos from Marginal Revolution University|20th-February-2019: Economics]], he also told me that there's books based around them. Turns out that the books're either introductory (//[[Mastering ‘Metrics|http://masteringmetrics.com/]]//) or more-advanced (//[[Mostly Harmless Econometrics|http://www.mostlyharmlesseconometrics.com]]//). The latter interests me more after reading the below testimonial that's on its website, as I have more of an interest in applied [[Microeconomics]].
> “MHE is a fantastic book that should be read cover-to-cover by any young applied micro economist. The book provides an excellent mix of statistical detail, econometric intuition and practical instruction. The topic coverage includes the bulk of econometric tools used in the vast majority of applied microeconomics. I wish there was an econometric textbook this well done when I was in graduate school.”

* [[Geo-Python|https://geo-python.github.io/2018/]] (seems to be released yearly, with updates): "teaches you the basic concepts of programming using the Python programming language in a format that is easy to learn and understand (no previous programming experience required)."
* [[Automating GIS-processes|https://automating-gis-processes.github.io/2018/]] (seems to be released yearly, with updates): "course teaches you how to do different GIS-related tasks in Python programming language. Each lesson is a tutorial with specific topic(s) where the aim is to learn how to solve common GIS-related problems and tasks using Python tools. We are using only publicly available data which can be used and downloaded by anyone anywhere."
* [[Introduction to Quantitative Geology|https://introqg.github.io/qg/]]: "This course introduces students to how to study a handful of geoscientific problems using a bit of geology, math, and Python programming. The course is aimed at advanced undergraduate students in geology or geophysics."
* [[Python Testing and Continuous Integration|http://katyhuff.github.io/python-testing/]]

> The Carpentries teach foundational coding, and data science skills to researchers worldwide.
[[The Carpentries|https://carpentries.org]] seems cool (look below for links to lessons), but their website needs work.
Finding lessons for self-learning the material that they tackle isn't quite clearly discoverable --- it's hidden in the Teach nav item and from there you need to know if you want lessons regarding [[Data|http://datacarpentry.org/lessons/]], [[Software|https://software-carpentry.org/lessons/]], or [[Library|https://librarycarpentry.org/lessons/]] carpentries. It //seems// like they're not making self-learning an objective, preferring to instead funnel people into workshops (click Learn in navigation links, see items directing you to workshops).

I also found this lesson article that's about using [[Git]] in [[RStudio]], part of a general text about using Git: http://swcarpentry.github.io/git-novice/14-supplemental-rstudio/index.html
Programming with R: http://swcarpentry.github.io/r-novice-inflammation/ addresses a lot //except// for visualization and plotting.

//Below are some notes that I took while attempting to follow Dan Yeaw's guide [[How to Rock Python Packaging with Poetry and Briefcase|http://dan.yeaw.me/posts/python-packaging-with-poetry-and-briefcase/]] to bundle up an app written with Beeware's Toga for use by general consumers (without requiring them to install a bunch of additional development stuff). I ran into issues and overcame some of them with the steps mentioned below.//
`poetry init` did not work after using the install command for Poetry `$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python`
I had to use `pip install poetry`
However, I was at the library at the time, they might've been blocking a port required for that script
---
Got error `cannot import name 'LegacyRepository'` when attempting to search for and install `briefcase` or `pytest` [I did this after sawing that it's added later on]
Only worked after doing `pip install --upgrade --pre toga` and `pip install --upgrade --pre poetry`
---
It was unclear to me which Toga package to choose when searching. Looking ahead in the guide, I guessed that it was the `toga` option, so I chose that:
```
Search for a package: toga
Found 23 packages matching toga
Enter package # to add, or the complete package name if it is not listed:
[ 0] toga-iOS
[ 1] toga-curses
[ 2] toga-flask
[ 3] toga-demo
[ 4] toga-android
[ 5] toga-django
[ 6] toga-gtk
[ 7] toga-qt
[ 8] toga-dummy
[ 9] toga-pyramid
[10] toga-watchOS
[11] toga-cocoa
[12] toga-tvOS
[13] toga-web
[14] toga-win32
[15] toga-dotnet
[16] toga-winrt
[17] toga-winforms
[18] toga-mfc
[19] toga-uwp
[20] toga-cassowary
[21] toga
[22] toga-core
> 21
```
---
The description that I provided included an apostrophe and apparently the build tool didn't handle this case, leading to an issue when I attempted to run the app for Linux:
```
File "setup.py", line 22
description='An app that shows what Beeware's Toga is capable of.',
```
The config read:
`description='An app that shows what Beeware's Toga is capable of.',`
---
Upon attempting to generate the Linux file, I got an error for having an old install of `pip` (error below). I fixed this by using `pip install --upgrade pip`
```bash
Traceback (most recent call last):

Issue with outdated `setuptools`

I was using Python 3.6, apparently, and I put `^3` in my Python config file.

That persons' behavior is, in part, a function of the information available to them, especially the quality of that information (actually/objectively, and perceived/subjectively).
Accordingly, seasonality of demand or supply within economics may, in part, be determined by the limited availability of information that would let persons plan accordingly for future periods. Looking ahead at temperature patterns --- historical and recent, general trends ---, for instance, to determine whether they ought to purchase a coat now versus later, when other, less-informed persons are all rushing in to the market.

As coding of interfaces is platform agnostic but manifests differently once implemented and run, this could be a major opportunity to see how user behavior differs across platforms (according to how interface elements/widgets, such as buttons, are variously displayed on a given platform).

Use RegularExpressions (RegEx?) to extract from an OrgMode file all lines that start with a note's formatting (as produced via use of Orgzly, my key manner of using OrgMode). This would leave out the comments ("note contents") attached to a note, but I am supposing that I will not need to worry about that for now (accordingly, I'm worrying only about extracting a note's title). [Accordingly, this version of the app would be too crude to be used for fully reading and overwriting an existing file --- allow yourself to only read a file via file browser, but prompt user for where/how to save the file (to prevent overwriting).]
!! Getting notes' contents
I could use RegEx to find all lines in the file that accord with a note's formatting and get the line numbers for each. Where there is a gap between line numbers, I might be able to infer that those lines would be the contents of the first-listed note ("first-listed" as when computing a gap, consider [note A line number, note B line number] pairs and check for gap via `if (B-A) != 1`.
!! Infer indentation level
Via count of indentation syntax's usage
!! Extract note statuses (states?)
!! Searches in new windows
Searches across all Notebooks (drawers?), across some? (Orgzly does across all if you access Search via general search menu, but in a specific Notebook if you start search in that Notebook --- good assumption, but how to convey that to user)

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The structure of the economics phrases like "Price elasticity of demand" felt wrong to me when I attempted to connect the structure of it to the structure of the equation (shown below) used to represent what it means.
$${\Delta Quantity Demanded} \over {\Delta Price} $$
I suspect that this was confusing to me for two reasons, with the first being less important: (1) I did not yet understand how this equation works in [[Calculus]], and (2) I am a native user of the English language, which leads one to habitually think sequentially from the top left of a thing and proceed on to the bottom right of the thing.
(2) Is quite damning given that (1) would suggest that this is the incorrect way of thinking of it. Consider that this equation is to be thought of as a "rise over run" scenario, with the numerator (above the division bar) dealing with a value of Y and the denominator (below the division bar) dealing with a value of X.
As the X value changes, the Y value might change, too. And in fact this equation and the phrase "''Price'' elasticity of ''demand''" are meant to suggest that we should consider how //as ''price'' changes//, //quantity ''demand''ed changes//.

Dang, man, TimeScarcity is hella stressful. Especially when someone comes at you and expects them to help them with X and to do so within the ("short") time frame that they have in mind, often already stressing about it as well.
A key coping skill that I've developed in such cases is to mentally step back and consider whether the thing truly needs to be done within the time frame implied/provided/assumed. It has been helpful to recognize that I'm starting to get stressed out and realize that it's being caused by an (often dubious) assumption of that X needs to be done within time A.

I wonder if there is a rhetorical or philosophical significance attached to the habit within the use of the English language of introducing adjectives and such before introducing the object to which those adjectives pertain.
Consider a "red apple." For those of us that use the English language in some way, it is less common for us to think and speak firstly in terms of that there an object and secondly that object has the properties of ..., which, in this case, "is" the property of being/appearing the color red.
Let me consider (1) the two experiences that brought this closer to my mind and (2) some of my analysis of the matter.

I suspect that I'll be able to get into this more during this semester's BehavioralEconomics class.
!! Steps towards this
I've been considering this for establishing (constructing) some baseline of comparison for subjective appraisals at any point in time, and controlling for expectations, which I suspect play a big role in appraisals.

I like trying new tricks and approaches, and because these things are new, that's when the probability of hurting myself is significantly high.
Accordingly, if you see me wearing a helmet and pads, it's because I'm pushing myself.
---
A lot of extreme sport media is currently oriented around whether a particular activity is intensely difficult for the average athlete in that sport (if not just the average general person). And that isn't as interesting to me as people make it out to me. Bear in mind, here, that the average skateboarder might not even be able to kickflip, so, really, what are we accomplishing here?
I look forward to seeing an extreme sports media that gives us the sense that each athlete is pushing themselves, learning, and having fun. This is not the average skateboarder, this is *the* skateboarder.
---
Suppose that I am preferring to only practice one type of kickflip, really high, conservative, and low-speed ones, while there's many other types of kickflip that I could do: low ones, wobbly ones (think: shifties!), high-speed ones --- in general, perhaps it has been the case that rather than forming an understanding of kickflips in general, with a bunch of variation amidst the sequential sets that form each type of kickflip, I have been over-fitting my understanding to the one model that I prefer, thereby possibly leading me to attempt to apply an improper model (the one I prefer) to irrelevant conditions.

Need to use the template tiddler [[$:/core/templates/static.template.html]] as a basis for creating a multi-tiddler output, but that tiddler seems to use templating in a way that I'm unfamiliar with. In particular, it pulls in stuff via:
`{{$:/core/ui/PageTemplate||$:/core/templates/html-tiddler}}`
Oh! I thought that the first part read as PostTemplate, which I further mistook for $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate. I suspect that I know what's afoot here, now; let's dive in!
The file looks OK (maybe deceptively simple), but the lack of indentation among blocks prevents us from really keeping track of what's working and associated with what, so let's add some indentation:
```
\define containerClasses()
tc-page-container tc-page-view-$(themeTitle)$ tc-language-$(languageTitle)$
\end
<$importvariables filter="[[$:/core/ui/PageMacros]] [all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/Macro]!has[draft.of]]">
<$set name="tv-config-toolbar-icons" value={{$:/config/Toolbar/Icons}}>
<$set name="tv-config-toolbar-text" value={{$:/config/Toolbar/Text}}>
<$set name="tv-config-toolbar-class" value={{$:/config/Toolbar/ButtonClass}}>
<$set name="themeTitle" value={{$:/view}}>
<$set name="currentTiddler" value={{$:/language}}>
<$set name="languageTitle" value={{!!name}}>
<$set name="currentTiddler" value="">
<div class=<<containerClasses>>>

<$dropzone>
<$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/PageTemplate]!has[draft.of]]" variable="listItem">
<$transclude tiddler=<<listItem>>/>
</$list>
</$dropzone>
</$navigator>
</div>
</$set>
</$set>
</$set>
</$set>
</$set>

</$importvariables>
```
''Side note:'' I currently forget why, but as I learned previously when mucking around with TW, the second half of the code we first saw, `{{$:/core/ui/PageTemplate||$:/core/templates/html-tiddler}}`, is important, because without it, the content of $:/core/ui/PageTemplate (shown above) would be spit out to wherever it's transcluded, but without any HTML tags. This is not intuitive.
I'm now cheating to understand what's afoot: I've looked up what the `<$set>` blocks are/do, via the TW website, and they're called "set widgets". They don't help me, I think; they just assign values to a given variable.
It's looking like the `<$list ...` widget is what I need to look into. The fact that it ends with `variable="listItem"` and that `listItem` also appears in the below/contained transclude widget, and appears to function as the name of the tiddler being transcluded with the transclude widget, suggests that looking into the `variable`, uh, parameter(??? or is it an "argument"? or is a parameter the thing to which a thing, an argument (arg) is posed?) should shed light on what's going on.
HAH! After looking into the list widget, I see that I was sorta way off in terms of guessing as to what's going on. `variable` is literally allowing you to ONLY assign a name of your choosing to something that exists regardless of whether you call upon it explicitly or not: a variable that contains a list's currently-considered list item.
So why might this be assigning a name to it, unnecessarily? I don't know. In the docs it suggests that the name given to this variable is, by default, `currentTiddler`, which you'll notice in the code for PageTemplate appears a number of times. Further, the fact that `<$set name="currentTiddler" value="">` comes up before the list widget leads me to wonder why it is that someone needed to bother with assigning an empty value to `currentTiddler` prior to this list. Is it simply because it was set earlier, by `<$set name="currentTiddler" value={{$:/language}}>`?
I'll play a fool and not only not do anything of this sort but instead proceed with the following, notably ripping out the `variable="listItem"` stuff and replacing `listItem` with the default name of `currentTiddler`.
```
<$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/PageTemplate]!has[draft.of]]">
<$transclude tiddler=<<currentTiddler>>/>
</$list>
```
OK. After some 30 minutes of struggling, I seemed to have figured out an issue I had when going down this route.
When I run the block of code above in a new tiddler, the tiddler has a BUNCH of formatted and stylized posts (as though the View Template were being used upon each list item), etc. I did not expect this to be the case.
Next, I tried changing `<<currentTiddler>>` to my stupid tiddler, named [[Hi]]. Suddenly, there's the tiddler, but without the View Template formatting. Plain as day. //WAT.//
Come to find out, if we run the above code block but delete the part of the list widget's filter that reads `tag[$:/tags/PageTemplate]`, leaving behind only `[all[shadows+tiddlers]!has[draft.of]]`, it works as expected: all posts, outputted without the View Template formatting. This is quite strange behavior, and I look forward to exploring Filters more to understand why this is happening. But for now, we can proceed with the simple list and transclude widgets!
!! Jul 14th
Investigating into the various tiddler templates:
* static (View Template)
* raw-static (View Template, as html)
* plain-text-tiddler (Pre-Wikified text of tiddler, as plain text)
Wait I think I'm using this wrong. I think that the tiddler [[journals-feed]] need only be used as a template for plain text file output, at this point.
After testing, I see that I'm correct. Using the command line command, I was able to generated a plain text file containing a list of all Journal posts, given the `journal` tag filter (`[tag[Journal]]`):
```bash
tiddlywiki publicwiki --render "journals-feed" journals-feed.txt text/plain "" exportFilter "[tag[Journal]]"
```
This is pretty much a straight copy of the command given in [[the render command's documentation|https://tiddlywiki.com/#RenderTiddlerCommand]].
If you do not specify the double quotes (`""`) before `exportFilter`, no static file is produced. I'm not sure why.
To go beyond plain text formatting, we need to add in HTML or XML blocks. To do this, we need to put tick marks around the code blocks so that they are preserved while the content outside of the tick marks is generated via TiddlyWiki's WikiText stuff.
Before we go further, let's clone the journals-feed tiddler and name the new tiddler "journals-feed-atom", as I hope to make a general atom feed for journals/etc.
I've now modified the new tiddler in accordance with this [[article regarding making atom feeds|https://www.codeguru.com/csharp/csharp/cs_network/internetweb/article.php/c12711/ASPNET-Tip-Creating-an-Atom-XML-Feed.htm]]. Generating the atom XML file works, as expected, with the following command:
```bash
tiddlywiki publicwiki --render "journals-feed-atom" journals-feed-atom.xml text/plain "" exportFilter "[tag[Journal]]"
```
Whoops! I need to add a way of sorting this so that the newest entries are listed first! I'll add this to both templates. The [[docs for Filter Operators|https://tiddlywiki.com/#Filter%20Operators]] will be invaluable to me, here.
Or not. I couldn't figure out which thing fit what I needed, so I jumped over to [[Tobias Beer's TiddlyWiki Filter Examples page|http://tobibeer.github.io/tw/filters/#Filter%20Examples]] and all-but immediately found what I needed: to add `!sort[modified]` to the templates' list filters.
I'll work in the tiddler [[14th-July-2018: RSSforStaticTiddlyWiki, Atom feed dev]] on finishing up the atom feed itself, as that'll be a big discussion.
---
Let's get the raw form:
```
{{journals-feed}}
{{journals-feed||$:/core/templates/plain-text-tiddler}}
```
---
! Todo
Figure out how to:
Use filter to get only 1 post that matches filter, to set the Modified/Updated date of the feed to the date of the modification of the most recent post listed in the feed, as opposed to the date of modification of the tiddler for which the feed is being made for/from (assuming that I wish to offer feeds based upon some one particular Tiddler [tag]; could expand in the future to include multiple tags).
Figure out how to combine text output with WikiText stuff, like widgets
---
I was unintentionally wise in choosing "the template tiddler [[$:/core/templates/static.template.html]] as a basis for creating a multi-tiddler output", as I meant to use alltiddlers instead, which is a supreme deadend and not even really what we need.

Consider the notion of presenting learners with side-by-side visual debuggers, one with the language they're comfortable with, and one that they're becoming comfortable with.

Perhaps a registry of accents could be developed that let people establish greater empathy for speakers with significantly different accents than one's own and ability in comprehending what they mean.
Moreover, this could help those of us in the FakeAccentSociety acquire our fake accents much quicker.

WisdomEconomics is less of a tweak on conventional economic theory than it is an exploration of where reality (people's actual behavior) diverges from theory (people's theoretically normative behavior) as a result of people thinking differently about the matter. (To the degree that //thinking// [explicitly or implicitly/subconsciously] //about doing X// precedes //doing X//.)
How might people be thinking about this [X] but in a muddied or less straight-forward way?

Subjective ease & efficiency of re-use of superset configurations versus their initial establishment
That my anxiety seems to have been set aside once I trusted that if I feel that my superset has been correctly set, my subset need not be worried about (as opposed to feeling like I do need to worry, due to a creeping worry that I'm not focusing upon the right stuff)
AmIFocusedYet, title for a collection of essays along these lines. Firstly dealing with the consideration of what it means to be focused, by way of presenting a view that splits the notion of focus between Focusing Among all Possible Things (dubbed the establishment of a "superset" for an individual) and Focusing Among a Superset (dubbed the establishment of a "subset"). Notion that ADHD, for instance, could involve changes in set composition/configuration on either of these levels, but the more critical level is that of superset.
There's also the idea that there is an attention-allocating process in the mind and that the allocative process draws mental resources away from the things one wants to provide significant attention and effort towards, limiting the amount of such resources that can be given to it. After a certain degree of indiscriminacy in the provision of % shares of one's total attention, the allocative process ceases or becomes far less relevant and prominent as a channel (object?) unto which attention/resources are given --- OH! this might suggest that a degree of freedom and resource abundance may be introduced into the system if the allocative process reduces its own (somewhat fixed?) share requirements at the same time as other objects' shares of mental resources become both equal and (somewhat) constant.

The notion of "Zero to One" movements, as suggested by Peter Theil, may be deliberately misdirective in that though the notion of moving from zero to one may hold with respect to the matter of the impact of a given action or innovation, the manner by which one gets to such a point is often not zero to one but the seeds of the consequent are present some time before its fruition (thus the seeds lie within the range between zero and one). Theil alludes to this manner of thinking through his book Zero to One, so it's interesting to think that he, who has displayed strategic thinking else where, could be duping people (who do not read closely enough) into believing that a movement from zero to one is possible and key.
This is connected to my notion of leveraging what I have to get what I want, which has its roots in what I have (as opposed to going from 0 to 1)

Yesterday I learned about the notion of "clearinghouses," and I realized that [[Liberapay]] counts as a clearinghouse! Clearinghouses are places/entities that hold onto a pot of money that is likely to change hands, for the entities that are likely to pass around claims to that money; these make the matter of handling money more efficient when transactions tend to take place between the same entities, as only net exchanges will need to take place instead of gross exchanges, letting fees be put aside.
This makes sense for mutual supports within-industry and bringing in funding from sources that interact with other industries and markets.

Funny, I pretty much figured out what I'd need to make an Atom feed for a TiddlyWiki, but one roadblock would be just updating the feed's date once a new thing is published (see [["Feed updation Date"|https://www.tutorialspoint.com/rss/feed.htm]]). There might be some way to assign to have the parent template wait for the first sibling (a new entry) to provide the correct date, but that sounds difficult to make.
...
Silly me! This would be a trivial issue to overcome:
# shut down all TW servers
# use Bash to modify the date to $currentDate on all of the atom feed pages (tiddlers) that need to be generated
# run the generation script, starting back up the TW servers!
It's that simple! All I'd need is some additional understanding of Bash programming! 😄

I suspect that Liberapay needs (would benefit from) a way for people without money on the site (or even people with it) to follow accounts without either pledging money to them or donating.
Being able to check in to creators' receiving amounts or to even get notified of whether the creator is even on the site would all be nice and likely lead to increased deposits by patrons and increases in funding for creators.
Not to mention that this would greatly improve the degree of utility of the site as a source of satisfaction and interest. Seeing the funding rates of someone you're interested in can be cool! (Maybe even watching the funding rates of your sworn enemies, but let's not think about that.)
This could also lead to the introduction of lists of persons that one's interested in supporting, including lists that one could share publicly. Say, for instance, that you like person A's stuff and person A likes a bunch of other people/projects that you don't know about: you'd get to learn of the latter persons and support them.

Unrelated to this, exactly, is getting notified if communities tied to persons you support or are interested in are growing or shrinking, especially in accordance with the growth rates of the persons you follow's funding rates. [[Liberapay Stats Analysis]]

_delirium on May 26, 2011 | parent | un-favorite | on: The problem with blogging
I remember being really confused over the chronological ordering for non-diaries when it first become common, and am still not that sure it's the right thing, though it does have benefits for technological convenience (blog software) and lower activation energy (just "write a blog post"). It used to be common to have websites, and then a website might have a "recent updates" or "new articles" page with a reverse-chronologically-ordered list of recent updates, often named new.html or updates.html or something. But it wasn't the main site; just something for frequent visitors to check.
But sometime around 2000-2003 or so, people just started throwing up everything on the equivalent of the "new articles" page! Seemed sort of a strange way to organize anything that wasn't a livejournal. Also seems to indicate a bit of a reduction in long-term ambition: people used to see building a website as an incremental endeavor, where you were slowly building up an edifice, so there was a clear separation between the long-term goal for the site (a resource w/ information presented logically) and the order in which you happened to add each piece (the recent-updates page).
Wikis still have that edifice-building angle (the "Recent Changes" page is clearly not the main page), so maybe it's just that they've taken over that role so completely that the only non-wiki things left are blogs and webapps, with no more "regular" websites?
```
I especially appreciate the line about "long-term ambition" with respect to website creation and, more generally, publishing upon the web:
> people used to see building a website as an incremental endeavor, where you were slowly building up an edifice, so there was a clear separation between the long-term goal for the site (a resource w/ information presented logically) and the order in which you happened to add each piece (the recent-updates page).

Difficulty with understanding the whole thing of the efficiency decision and its importance amidst wage rate changes due to a dissonance of focus when the wage rates increase.
Efficiency decision's equation: (MPl/w = MPk/r), or marginal product of labor over the wage rate //ought to (according to theory)// equal the marginal product of capital (K) over the rental rate [of capital].
I suggest that I'm getting confused by a dissonance of focus because of the following:
Wage rates increase, leading the ratio of MPl to w (MPl/w) to shrink [w UP, but the ratio as a whole DOWN, as MPl remains constant], and this changes the efficiency decision's equation, making it unequal, as the change in the wage rate (w) does not necessarily change the values on the right hand side of the equation.
The equation thus becomes: (MPl/w < MPk/r)
According to the logic of the efficiency decision (rule?), one should reinvest money currently used for labor into capital, as it's more efficient to use one's money there, as the ratio (MPk/r) is now GREATER THAN (MPl/w).
Logically, this makes sense, but when I'm thinking quickly about these matters I get confused. I suspect that it is because firstly I am focusing upon the wage, and I am focusing upon it either too much or in the wrong way.
"w is going up! Oh no!" I think first. "The equation is changed, and now it is unequal!" I think second. But thirdly, my mind is muddied by the relation between the change in the wage and the direction of the inequality; "wage is up, so shouldn't the inequality say that the side with the wage is GREATER THAN what it was before?"
The matter is made worse, I suspect, when the resulting inequality is given to me. "Ah, there's the wage, and there's the inequality sign! LESS THAN! Wages have gone down, BUY BUY BUY"

Fixation upon notion of whether X provides value, or whether it could at a later time (delayed onset). Considered from the standpoint of WHEN it provides value, the magnitude of value is considered. But what is left unconsidered is the probability (likelihood) of you getting to that point. Many factors influence that probability, even in unintuitive ways. #Ideas #philosophy
The notion that something "scatters your force" (Emerson), diluting the degree to which you have power, or influence, or affect.
The Harry Potter principle of leadership being rightly entrusted to, if anyone, they who do not seek to have it.
The notion of power has a negative connotation surrounding it — "he is power-hungry", we say. But let's slow down, let's consider how we're using that term in those cases. There is power, one has it or hopes to have it, but I think we agree that those things alone are not what are distasteful about it; rather, we dislike that the power would enrich others and likely rob us of something. But what about when the power-full person is content? Maybe they can influence some matter to others' benefit.

I'm not certain whether or not I should worry about making a CSV from this, as at least for myself, I'm learning how to work with it itself from within RStudio.
However, I do think that a CSV format of it would remove some technical barriers to analysis (say, by Quantative Econ students --- or even myself when a professor demands that I use EViews). Given this, I think that making a CSV from it would be a good form of community service + further exercise in [[R-lang]].
!! CSV Structuring
But how should I structure it? Putting same columns next to each other (but with diff currencies) is confusing, so I'll make one set of columns per one currency and then another set with the other currency. All will be with one record, as before.
[[My previous Liberapay scraper|https://gitlab.com/snippets/1695276]] worked in terms of making lists for each column, then combined all columns into a central DataFrame. I think that I'll do the same thing for now because (1) it's familiar to me, which I'd think would make things faster for me, and (2) I don't intend to be doing this very often, so even if this process is inefficient (as I suspect that it is) it's fine.

Figure out how to add a title or alt text to transcluded image tiddlers, possibly via an alt or title field and field value ($:/core/modules/widgets/image.js should let us do this)
This is useful for making the SVG title image accessible. Creating this feature is a bit too over my head, as it requires following the thread of `src` and deciphering what is and is not essential to my creating an optional feature. However, there is some precedent for optional features, as the [[TiddlyWiki docs show a couple of different, non-essential parameters|https://tiddlywiki.com/static/ImageWidget.html]]. Follow those threads, duplicate and remix them.

Addressing friction in signup, money deposit
(as far as I'm aware) Lack of solid (but general?) documentation of how you should file your taxes if you received any money, or if givers can receive tax benefits (ooh!)
* This is likely due to their previous exclusive use of Euro, which is used by a broad number of countries; though the use of it allows for a greater audience size, it also allows for larger diversity in tax-filing procedures, as each country likely requires a different process (subtly different or not)

It would be very helpful if we could layer the Pre and Post-USD data's correlation plots, using opacity to see where there's overlap and difference. I know you can do layering with ggplot2, but I've been using corrplot for correlation plotting; I found [[ggcorr|https://briatte.github.io/ggcorr/]] while googling for "layer corrplot" and it seems like something much closer to what I want!

Realized last night that on a static site I'd need to disable TiddlyWiki's option to "link to tiddlers that do not exist yet" ($:/core/ui/ControlPanel/Settings/MissingLinks), if they're in CamelCase, because broken links lead a site to be penalized by search engines (so this is an [[SEO]] concern).
Problem is, if I disable this outright, I'd miss out on a useful core feature for when editing the wiki contents. So I was stuck with an either/or decision. Or was I?
Maybe I could temporarily disable that configuration when generating the static site! I already use a bash script to generate the site, so maybe I can just add this to the script pre-generation and re-enable it afterwards! (I never considered doing this manually, which I'm kinda too lazy to do, not to mention that this would be ripe for UserError).
The config tiddler for that feature looks like this:
```
created: 20180110215313115
modified: 20180110230252715
title: $:/config/MissingLinks
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
yes
```
We just need to change a small part of it to make this work (changing `yes` to `no`, and back again). But maybe we can do it even easier!
Maybe we can store the contents of the file in a variable. I figured out how to do this, [[here|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2789319/file-content-into-unix-variable-with-newlines]].
Then we can push to that file whichever contents we want to add to it.
```bash
echo -e "created: 20180110215313115\nmodified: 20180110230252715\ntitle: $:/config/MissingLinks\ntype: text/vnd.tiddlywiki\n\nno" > 'publicwiki/tiddlers/$__config_MissingLinks.tid'
```

This was straightened out for me, here: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marginal-revenue-product-mrp.asp
Long story short, the statistic(?) to watch is MarginalRevenueProduct. Oh! No wonder this is phrased this way! It's just like with ``Marginal Product [of] Labor``, the "of" is implicit after "Marginal Revenue" and the rest is a clarification --- in full, it ought to read ``Marginal Revenue of Product``.
[Delineate the concept here and pipe it back into the original entry]
!! Application
If considered with respect to BootyEconomics, the unit of input considered might be Booty and the output might be stimulation/shock/arousal of the viewer. Up to a certain point, the latter trends upward with each additional Booty employed (as this considers "each additional," we're talking about MarginalProduct).
The latter would also be associated with revenue derived by the producer/provider, but due to DiminishingMarginalUtility, consumers demand less and less of the latter, the more and more that they have, providing less revenue to the provider (as the provider must decrease the price of the thing to sell any additional units).
!! Today
What prompted me to look into this is that I saw a video recording of a conference talk in which an "expert" online video maker was giving tips on making videos for marketing purposes. I confess that I did not watch the video, but it prompted a cynical analysis of online video that's been lingering in my mind for a while:
Present-day online video tends to involve quite shocking/stimulating ways of presenting information and narratives.
