@DriveThruRPG I’m sure this isn’t news, but your download system sucks *hard*, and I’ve wasted hours and hours just trying to get the first page of my downloads.
Do better. And have a damn support link on your damn website.

@mattyglesias The answer to this is a concept entirely foreign to American cities: pedestrian cut-throughs. Best of both worlds.

Yall aren’t ready for this conversation, but the “Fix Everything Easily Switch” is literally just Neoliberalism.
Arram@arram
Asked Claude: 'There's a meme called the "fix everything easily switch". What policies do you think are the best candidates for being a real fix everything switch in the US? Give me your top ten, your confidence, your reasoning, and why a given policy has not been implemented.'

Funny how when you grew up in Australia, snakes and spiders are a minor detail. But anyone who comes here from overseas is just freaked out about them the whole time.

It appears the value of treasury debt is a *convex* function of productivity growth. A 1% positive shock is larger in absolute terms than a 1% negative shock. So the value of debt *grows* with uncertainty.
Very interesting result. dropbox.com/scl/fi/r4wo4iu…

@TheMarcitect @Hexham67 “Clear”? How? Cite the evidence making this clear.
What a load of bollocks.

It's starting to become pretty clear that a shadowy group of people have hidden highly advanced technology from humanity for a very long time and are trying to keep it under wraps amidst the ongoing disclosure movement. It's not about hiding aliens it's about hiding technology.

@WakeUp2Politics “How the individual American wants them to” is hopelessly confused. Who is “the individual American” in this sentence, if it’s not either the lawmaker or an ideal member of their district.
English
They call this the Dictatorial Model: that many Americans actually just believe a lawmaker should vote how that individual American wants them to, even if it conflicts with the opinions of the legislator or their district.
44% of Americans expressed this preference.
English
🧵 There are two theories of how lawmakers should behave.
The Delegate Model = a legislator should vote in accordance with his district.
The Trustee Model = he should act in accordance with his conscience.
A new study argues that Americans actually embrace a third model.

How many doctors, nurses, physios, engineers are living in Australia but unable to contribute to the betterment of our society because of absurd licensing requirements?
Time for a change! If we’re going to let skilled people into Australia, let them use their damn skills!

@outscape @robinhanson The point is that one earns money by some form of exchange. So the sheer amount someone earns measures the amount of value others gained from exchange with them .
English
@robinhanson “Accumulated” instead of extracted from the world”. That accounts for consumption by the person. If two people earned the same but one spent it all on yachts and weddings and parties, that makes a difference.
English
We today have no better metric for the total value that a person has contributed to the world than the wealth that this person has extracted from the world in compensation for the value they gave. Yes, maybe one could make such a better metric, but no one has done so yet.
