This woman is gerrymandering Virginia to be 11 D, 1 R district, despite nearly 50% of VA voting R last election.
Is Virginia just the new California?

@Way2Serious @JoshDMartin @philipaklein So your stance is he was judge, jury, and executioner? That he was legally able to kill her when he fired his 2nd and 3rd shots through the drivers side window when he was NOT in any danger?
English
@JoshDMartin @philipaklein She literally hit him you retard. Intent doesn’t matter one bit.
“Sorry officer I only meant to gently clip you with my car!”
Is this seriously your stance?
English
This angle leaves no doubt that she was looking directly at the ICE officer when she pointed the car at him and accelerated.

@__paleologo @D2HLC Should I interpret item 7 to mean that the multi-manager platforms (with decades of trading data for potentially dozens of great PMs of the years) will have a substantial competitive advantage in building out AI PMs?
English
It is a big question. I don’t know but I do hope that another transformer-level breakthrough will happen in the next 5 years. For now, my beliefs: 1. Edge will not disappear. 2. And PMs will not disappear but their required skills will be very different. 3. I suspect that people “reading the tape” and using system-1 thinking (it is useful!) will gradually disappear. 4. Retail traders will be at an even greater disadvantage. 5. People with greater abstraction capabilities (non necessarily programmers) already had an edge. That edge will be greater. 6. Investment firms having capital and know-how will multiply that. 7. As a consequence of 5 and 6, AI PMs will vary in performance. If you have no good examples of a great PM and have superficial knowledge of-how, chances are your AI PM will inherit these features.

@johnkonrad @SECNAV John, how many American citizens are you willing to see the military kill for each ship? Because that’s what I’m getting from your attitude. Talking about riots when Americans protest and the president whips up troops to massacre them.

@thegeneralboard Somewhat related question: Are there any contemporary color video or photos of dye-colored shell splashes? Should I be envisioning a rainbow of colors in the various shell splashes or more like lightly tinged water?
English
In case you were curious to see what the difference looks like between shell splashes from a 203mm shell weighing 126kg and a 460mm shell weighing 1,460kg, here you go.

@MagicRatSF International students are just 23% of Princeton’s student body and 14% of undergrads. How is this abandoning the education of Americans?
Princeton’s net tuition per student has increased just 80bps annually over the last 20 years. If the endowment is a HF, it’s a great one!
English
@Spatch1003 Now let’s look at Princeton’s finances. In ‘86 the endowment was barely over $1B. Today it’s $38B. They are now a massive hedge fund, with an education arm attached, that’s in large measure abandoned its mission to educate US citizens.
English
Foreign students crowded out recent generations of US students vs GenX.
In 1986, Intl students vs total enrollment (see pic):
Stanford (204/6500)
Rice (22/2,600)
UVa (<1%/11,100)
Harvard (490/6,600)
Columbia (87/2,900) -- that's 22 a class!
US universities screwed American kids
Joe Weisenthal@TheStalwart
I get parents being anxious about their kids’ college education. But I really can’t wrap my head around the Ivy obsession in a country that has so many good universities. Basically every state has multiple excellent public institutions. And plenty of regional Ivy’s (e.g. Rice)
English
@MagicRatSF This also ignore the ancillary benefit of a percentage of international students coming to study in the US and then staying. It’s likely a net benefit to have companies like SpaceX and NVidia based in the US rather than elsewhere (or potentially never formed at all).
English
@MagicRatSF Over the last 30 years, the proportion of US HS grads attending a 4 year college has increased from 40% to 45%; I assume that has increased more in the last 40 years.
International students have also contributed to the ability of US colleges to enroll more low income Americans.
English
@JamesSurowiecki Moreover, the combination of higher taxes, no grants, and no international students is fewer lower income American kids will go to Harvard and a lot more rich Americans will go to balance the books. Merit will fall by the wayside as finances increasingly dominate.
English
Can we just let private institutions admit and hire the people they want to admit and hire, instead of having the government dictate to them whom they have to accept?
English
If we’re going to call Harvard a hedge fund, then we need to acknowledge that it’s one that outperformed Bessent’s by >600bps annualized.

@agraybee Wow, Ziad defending Trump committing blatant corruption. I am shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

Except he gets to keep it after he's president. It's a gift to him, personally.

Hilarious to see so many people look at this and point to illicit activity when the answer is as simple as “hodl SPY or QQQ”.

I just figured out why @howardlutnick is indifferent to the stock market and the economy crashing. He and Cantor are long bonds. He profits when our economy implodes. It’s a bad idea to pick a Secretary of Commerce whose firm is levered long fixed income. It’s an irreconcilable conflict of interest.

This is just a straight up lie, by the way. One they keep telling. From Forbes:
Stephen Miller@StephenM
During Joe Biden’s Administration US-born Americans gained zero net jobs in four years. All jobs gains for foreign workers. For American workers, the Biden years were a depression.
