Krugman didn't debate recession semantics. My point is, if you are going to claim we are in a recession now, to be intellectually consistent, you also have to claim that 2020 wasn't one of t…

Who debated the 2020 recession? It didn't have two quarters of real GDP growth, but it did have massive job losses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recessions_in_the_Un…

Very fun. I also found it took a while to understand the rules, which I enjoyed, but others may not. You could add a restart button to encourage experimentation, or flash preconditions red when blocki…

It's still illegal at a federal and state level.

Shaving. It's not a religion. It's easy to experiment. 1. Don't shave. Grow a wild and wooly beard. 2. Electric clippers. For that permanent five o'clock shadow look. 3. Electric s…

If you want longevity, for under $2k, you should not rule out the Framework because it is "beta." They have a store of easily replaceable parts. You can replace almost anything that breaks. …

> There exists a rule, that if you try to substitute quality with quantity you only ruin everything. This is brilliantly put.

Adams wrote absurdist satire, e.g. earth being destroyed for an intergalactic bypass. Everyone back then had a fundamental belief that the internet would make things better just like the printing pres…

Reading the paper was the first thing I did, unfortunately. I read it, until I realized it had no data, and that it was completely biased towards a single narrative. Only then did I look to see who pu…

Curiously, the best way I found to get past mental roadblocks, is to simply ask questions. I ended up with hundreds of parking tickets, for all different makes and models of cars. I quickly learned yo…

I think that is the funniest part of this article. I read his post to the end looking for the answer to why he wanted the smallest box, furiously thinking of why. I could only think of three reasons t…

An EVP of Ops of a fortune 500 did this to an entire room of functional experts. We were there to discuss a technical implementation. She kicked it off by saying "Let me start by asking a simple …

Ironically that comes up with wildly inaccurate estimates itself. > we take the average population totals over the relevant periods for each population (March 1, 2020-Aug. 9, 2021 for the unvaccina…

The disclosures include the date the trade was made. The only ambiguity is the amount invested. Also, estimate <> precision or accuracy :)
