this is very cool someone come write a mostly functionally equivalent eBPF program with me 🤓

@MadCanuk @ireneista @EmojiTetra Ah, my bad! Thanks!

@MadCanuk @ireneista @EmojiTetra That will collide with the I piece when it appears. You have to rotate the T so it is overhanging the kittens.

@EricCrampton Ah I see my mistake, that figure does include inflation, because you are comparing the current figure with the hypothetical figure. Thanks!

@KitL83 Inflation pushes all wages up. Say you had a flat tax of 30%. Inflation doubled all wages. Govt would collect 30% of 2x; nominal tax goes up, real tax constant. I'm only looking at the extra effect of pushing people into higher tax bands.

If you plug wage inflation from Q1 2021 through Q2 2022 into the tax thresholds in Treasury's updated tax calculator, you see government is getting over a billion dollars out of inflation, and that inflation alone is big enough to make the estimates unreliable.

I feel like future art historians could dedicate their lives’ work to analysing this picture Tammy took tonight.

If you wanted to offset the warming from livestock methane emissions, research we commissioned from @ClimateFramo and @nathanaelmelia shows how many hectares of pine plantation forest you’d need to plant to achieve the same temperature effect as reducing a herd by one animal.

I....never noticed this. Never. My whole life is a lie.

Or better than a market.

For every problem there are a million possible solutions, and managers have their hammer, so they are predisposed to picking the solution that looks like their nail. But, for the most part, it's still better than nothing... Which is typically the proposed alternative.

So I kinda think the opposite here. I think there is some degree of truth in the idea that managers will attempt to fix everything with more managers. In the same way that surgeons always recommend surgery, and economists always think that a market will fix everything.

Oh, also, I guess the other important take-away here, is that while overall the cases has reduced massively from the peak, if you have not been infected yet your risk is _considerably_ higher than the overall cases would suggest.

Though, I'm not an expert, this is just my interpretation of the explanation provided here.

For the maths explained in this article. Would it be correct that, if vaccination provides _some_ immunity, then we would not expect the R0 to be starting as high as 6--10, and therefore the impact of a 19% reduction of Reff from mask wearing could be quite significant?
