@TheMindScourge You're looking at it from the wrong lens. For normal politicians that analysis works. For trump it's about what he broke rather than what he built
English
It’s weird to say this now because Trump is so omnipresent, but he’ll be quickly forgotten once he leaves office. He’s been a dominant figure in US longer than any president since FDR, but little to no institutional legacy, beyond perhaps a certain tendency towards increased and high handed consolidation of political power within the White House, a process which was underway prior to his political rise, and which he at best accelerated
The age of Trump amounts to a random walk to nowhere. Neither good nor bad

Francis Fukuyama on the U.S. as a declining power: American decline is a direct product of Trump's rise since 2016. It is as if Trump had decided to do everything in his power to weaken the United States vis-à-vis China. He has polarized an already polarized country, cut funding for basic scientific research, and attacked American universities which are the best in the world. He and his colleagues have openly stated that their domestic opponents — the Democrats — are a far greater threat to the future of the United States than either China or Russia. There is agreement among America's friends and rivals that the United States has become something of a rogue state that is contributing to global instability and disorder — as well as something of a laughingstock.

B&H won't let me checkout because their website observes Shabbat
Guess I'll just buy this USB microphone from another site then, thanks for the heads up 👍

@matt_timmermans @cremieuxrecueil This type of competition is good if you want to add new features, but not for driving down price

@cremieuxrecueil Competition between Lilly and Novo should be almost as good as a generic, right?

We cannot allow a fat gap.
Several countries that have never become obese like America has are going to skip it entirely and forever be skinny, even as they get rich.
America must catch up. We need an easy-to-use, low-cost generic GLP-1, and we need it fast.

@ha3mhu @MoonshotMcBride Did you not watch harden in his prime? He should be in a tier of his own
English
@MoonshotMcBride realistically deni and jokic should move down and harden should be in foulbaiters

Wonder what the difference between those last two tiers is

I noticed his age and he’s close to 40. Not sure if people know this but Silicon Valley is notorious for age discrimination especially for software. If you don’t make it to management by that age, you are going to become a journeyman with inconsistent employment and pay.

BREAKING: A source close to Iran's Ghalibaf says Iran's "third struggle" plan announced by the IRGC will close Bab el-Mandeb Strait "by fire" and disable the seven submarine internet cables under the Strait of Hormuz, in immediate response to upcoming US strikes that Iran has assessed as "inevitable," for this weekend.
The source adds that Iran will also respond with "next-generation missiles and drones" firing hundreds daily at the Gulf energy infrastructure, and that the US and Israel are playing "Russian roulette" with the outcome being the "collapse of the global economy and unprecedented gas prices."

@zapatas_mom You really think the men can't pick up they're being settled for?
English
The problem with modern dating is really men. We have to just be honest about this. All of the single women I know and am friends with ages 25-37 find men who are their looksmatch, age peers (within a few years), and income class match. The women are sometimes skeptical and not that attracted to the men but are willing to give it a shot if the guy ACTUALLY tries.

@lymanstoneky Predicts in what way? Low gpa = early marriage or the opposite?
English
more attractive men are actually less likely to marry so anyways stereotype confirmed right there
interestingly, college GPA really strong predicts marriage for women but not men, which surprised me?
English
if only we had a study that leveraged actual data on young peoples' hotness and their marriage expectations to show that the main reason for low fertility is people failing to marry as fast as they expected, and this is because people overrate how hot they are
oh. we do.

Excellent question. How can you rent a house/apartment for less than HALF of what it would cost to own?
Who can identify why this might be possible?

@realsaadasad It's because there's a single source of failure. The point of having 2 separate staircases is to prevent a fire in one from stopping all movement

@RenaudFoucart It's honestly just self control. Government bonds have the same level of counterparty risk as a lottery disperser

Another exhibit for the "why do economists assume people can solve complex optimisation problems"? Seems a large majority of people are pretty good at intertemporal discounting.

Washington, D.C. will not let employers use noncompetes on most workers earning under roughly $160,000 a year. Unless you are a casual babysitter, because apparently the teenager watching your kids is a major trade-secret risk.
