The random walk is an emergent phenomenon, though. It arises from the individual movements, but doesn't explain them. That's a bit like saying "Traffic" when someone asks, "Why are all these people out driving today

I honestly don't pay much attention to Apple stock (hello, availability bias!), so I'm curious how often it does that. Assuming that day's move was just noise, though, should we conclude that it's unrelated to the AI bub

Last week, Apple added about $50 billion in market cap after Bloomberg reported that it was working on its own ChatGPT gizmo. Every ad on Marketplace is for stuff like AI-powered recruiting by Robert Half. If it's only brewing so far,

Ames is not a gutted Midwestern town, though. College towns centered on large research universities benefit from a similar dynamic as the DMV.

This seems like a new skin on COPE (create once, publish everywhere), an NPR idea from 10+ years ago. Ironically, it fits to just rebrand someone else's established ideas like this. Editing to add: I see that they linked to COPE in the

It's safe to say that no Republican is going to win city/county/state-wide office around here, so the "attacks" are moot. For example, the state's hurtling towards passing an emergency AWB into law, all while R
