IDK, no fatalities caused by cars?

Yeah - same thing as only 30k /300mn Americans dying in car accidents per year, right? A rounding error? The point is human drivers aren't a proportions problem. It's that any unsafe driver is bad. Adding more safe drive

I agree with what you said, BUT From my perspective as a person who lives in San Francisco and also bikes a LOT: human driver also do not perform acceptably. I counted 14 cars without headlights on after sunset on a 2 mile bike ride yes

I am surprised you think that the deposit market is that liquid and yield-driven enough to claim I’m making errors! To answer your question, I along with most Americans will keep it in my checking account because I use it as a working capit

It feels insane to me that people haven’t heard of floating rate bonds. I guess the debt guys are too busy to hang out here. Here’s a primer from 2011. The Treasury and Feddie call theirs FRNs. https://capitalmarkets.fanniemae.co

Ever wonder what FRN stands for? They've issued them every month for the past decade. Freddie and Fannie have issued them way longer. https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/221/Tentative-Auction... Just

Huh? There are plenty of adjustable rate bonds? That was a big part of why the LIBOR scandal was such a big deal?

Whenever anyone pitches an on-site robot to do something, and important question to ask yourself is "can centralized factory robots already do this?" Pizza is a great example. We know how to get robots to make pizza (sorry, but

I would love to do an analysis of all comments online to see the correlation between negative sentiment - peer review and "make your own decision."

My reasoning is that everyone in the US had parents who knew you'd die if you didn't heat your house, but in most cases, AC is a comfort thing, so AC was treated as the luxury and heat as the normal .

Yeah low-key the worst part about SF is that it's in America (it gets all the problems of being the most liberal city in a conservative country), but also if it were in Europe it would be one of the worst cities there. Honestly, that&#

Just to be clear, the formula for BMI is 'weight (lb) / [height (in)]^2 x 703' and all the talk of "it's the cheapest and easiest way" ignores the fact that we could add other cheap measurements (like hip and

But it could be a more complex formula. For example, the max 'healthy' weight for a 6'10" person is 230lbs. That's more or less Kevin Durant's draft stats and he looked like this: https://twitter.c

I know many of the unpolled 1 year olds who are now 24 probably never thought the war was a good idea. My point is that America in 2003 feels the same to people who were alive then, but blaming Americans alive today for Iraq is like blaming
