Qualitative Tightening

Met the goat himself. I was like a kid at Christmas. Dr Hunt sure has a powerful voice with powerful words. Truly surreal.

Enter no conflict against fanatics unless you can defuse them. Oppose a religion with another religion only if your proofs (miracles) are irrefutable or if you can mesh in a way that the fanatics accept you as god-inspired.

@therobotjames @VolaTim Wouldn’t arbing the books just be easier?

getting edge in sports betting markets with novel information or better models . . . i've been writing things about sports betting. this is about getting edge by predicting outcomes better than the market. it's really really fkin hard - but i'm gonna talk about it anyway

@JaredWeissNBA I really only watch Celtics games, and anyone with a brain knows that Wemby is a top 5 defensive player in the league. But the Celtics attacked him pretty consistently in isolation that it almost seemed intentional.

Tweets like these are why I have a job 😂 I highly recommend you actually watch the games, people.

@Fiizop MIKE ZARREN’S DRAFT WHEEL

Removing the draft the only way to stop tanking

This is why watching the games and truly understanding what impactful basketball looks like is important. One of these players was incredible, while the other was a disaster.

With an expansion otw, implementing Mike Zarren’s draft wheel may be the perfect clean slate. The apron’s and repeater tax have already fixed the “big market superteam problem.”

With Brad Steven’s saying no, UNC should give Greg Popovich a call, I’m sure he’s itching to coach again.

Pardon me for being, ahem, pragmatic, but this IS hyperbole. The thing that's weird about articles like this is they assess a "balance sheet" that doesn't include the US government's biggest assets - its natural resources, land and present value of future tax receipts. The land and resources alone are worth $100+ trillion. But the taxing authority is the real whopper. The US government has a present and future claim on the output of the wealthiest country that ever existed. A conservative discount rate of 4.5% over 50 years equates this to a $200T+ asset. They love to talk about "unfunded liabilities", but what about the present value of uncollected tax receipts? It's a crazy huge figure.... So no. The wealthiest country in human history doesn't have a bankrupt govt. It has a very poorly run govt that could benefit from being a lot better run, but it's not bankrupt. Carry on.

@MSavage901 Grizzlies draft war room is the ultimate spreadsheet fc, Acuff is the last player they would select.

If the Grizzlies draft Acuff, you have so many defenders around him that his defense won’t matter lol. He’s a bucket getter in the best way.

This Kansas-St John's game has made me love basketball less.

@BickerinBrattle @_Billdozer_ @TimDuy What’s fertilizer?

@_Billdozer_ @TimDuy the .0025% of US NGDP? that one?

This is going to be an unpopular position but it is not wrong.

How I worship Mazzulla ball

@DaveXDavieau @fabiopiovani_ From an adaptation standpoint it’s easily the best so it’s easily my personal favorite.

@fabiopiovani_ SciFy channel mini-series did Alia as well. I probably stand alone, but I think it's been the best Dune yet

o filme do Lynch é ruim mas pelo menos ele teve coragem de colocar ela 🙏🏻

@arcDev12 @ObtainerOf

@Three_Cone He was also at the KU Houston game at Allen

@Three_Cone Brad was at the Big12 Tourney in 2024 and they drafted Baylor Scheierman and Anton Watson. It’s just a good conference.

Sam Presti and Brad Stevens are both at the Iowa state Texas tech game so you can lock in that someone on one of those teams is gonna be the steal of the draft

@Bxtchimdame @Three_Cone Heavier as in relative to his strength pre injury

@WhackoMacro @Three_Cone No shot he has more muscle mass in his legs rn prior to his injury

Is it just me or does Tatum’s jumper look smoother
