@inpredict For Tennis 1st serve, is this assuming the 1st serve lands in? Or is this the % of all points won by the server?

Saw Marty Supreme last weekend, and was inspired to do a comp of serving advantage across multiple sports. Tennis 🎾: it's an advantage to serve Volleyball 🏐: it's a disadvantage to serve Table Tennis 🏓: nearly 50/50, based on what limited data I was able to find

@adamscochran Wouldn't it be simpler and easier to just remove the Stepped-Up Basis loophole.

You can’t tax unrealized gains without hurting average Americans, and retirement funds. But, you *DON’T* need to tax the gain, you can tax **the loan** Interest is charged on loans. Whenever someone takes a loan against a company that they: -own more than 10% of -sit on the board of -a c-suite executive of -or it’s a fund where the owner is a beneficiary who meets these criteria -AND the company is worth more than $100M -THEN: simply add a 25% surcharge to the interest that goes to the government, and require that these loans are at minimum the prime rate. If the loan had 4% annual interest, it now has 5% annual interest with that extra 1% paid to the government as a tax. Now governments get income from those who take loans on corporate equity but: -It doesn’t hurt startup employees with stock options -It doesn’t break temporary liquidity borrowing -It doesn’t hurt small business owners -It doesn’t break unrealized tax loss/capital gain accounting -It doesn’t risk pension funds -It doesn’t break venture funds creating new jobs -It prevents tax cheats, but also prevents unfairly taxing non-existent capital -It ensures the US market is still liquid and innovative to help the economy. In this model if someone takes out a $100M loan, on $200M in assets, the government is charging $1M/year in interest. If thar $200M stayed worth $200M for 3 years, or had write offs of capital losses, an unrealized wealth tax of 1% would have been $0 (and risk breaking stuff) Whereas 1% interest annually on the borrowed amount, for 3 years, is $3M and doesn’t break things. So this model likely also brings in *more* capital, while not breaking the economic system, and closing the abuse without closing the functionality.

Unrealized gains should be taxed Because of the debt loophole; > You hold stock in a company > Borrow against stock > M2 pushes stock artificially > LTV ratio goes down > Borrow more > Repeat No ordinary American has access to this infinite money glitch

Each year, around late December, a rare seasonal event occurs in the Caribbean. Billionaires migrate to the waters around St. Barths, arriving aboard large superyachts, often accompanied by smaller support vessels. For a few days, they gather in unusually close proximity before scattering again, having successfully completed New Year’s Eve. Also, land is in blue because that makes total sense right?

@MattZeitlin The more interesting voter is the one that votes for the loser every time. Try finding a Clinton-Trump-Harris voter.

The Giants had a chance to fire Shane Bowen after the disaster in Denver and decided not to. Keep telling yourself Daboll/Schoen know what they’re doing. Keep telling yourself they’ll lead us out of misery.

Someone please explain to me how they plan to remove that 5GW worth of heat from the equipment? Maybe I'm missing some physics-defying thing here... You need a 4 sqkm solar array to collect the energy from the SUN... and are going to somehow ditch that energy in real-time from a space <1% that size? "use the vacuum of deep space as an infinite heat sink." Do the people funding and pushing this stuff even have high-school level physics knowledge? How does something like this even make it past the napkin math stage, let alone publicized by one of the world's largest companies. If I did the napkin math right, running the hardware at 100C you'd need a radiator 20% bigger than the solar array just to hold that temp... I could definitely be wrong. Maybe someone more specialized on such things can chime in... @DJSnM @Erdayastronaut
