It makes sense that adding red adds red (in addition to the avocado sacks you mention, I think of lemons’ yellow bags, limes’ green bags, and the red packaging/shelf lining and pink-tinged light in the butcher’s case)—but those images

I’m curious how much those 7 lists overlap. Surely there must be a lot of unambiguous cases, but I wonder how much is on the margins.

Oh agreed—that seems reprehensible on its surface—not that I imagine it was anything the people involved took lightly. But in the spirit of, in your professional capacity, taking care of the people you owe a professional duty to before you

Didn’t, in this case, the insurer care precisely about the average—setting reimbursement at the average rate for people receiving masectomy care in the state? Doesn’t it say that most people post-masectomy get “a relatively straightforward

This reads like it was conceived largely before the events of the last week, but it lays out at least a coherent policy argument for a broader program of which the “big beautiful tariffs” might be part. I was grateful for a least a scrap of

Would OP’s proposed performance-based contract, where they’re only paid when the sale goes through, align their interests with yours better than the status quo model you describe here?

Aren’t we so, so, so far from physical limits though? To the point that we speak of likely energy reserves in terms of centuries of consumption at current levels, even if we only get around to proving the next couple decades’ worth at a t

I’m not familiar with any arguments that would lead somebody to prefer that. Maybe to avoid giving adversaries leverage over you, but isn’t that better solved by diversifying your supply chain? Maybe to salve the domestic effects of the tra

I guess I can interpret the strongest form of your argument to suggest that resources and markets have a specific level of economically relevant supply at any specific time, which I suppose is an empirical claim that’s true. I feel like rec

One way around this might be a twist on Goodhart’s Law: if you come after the people at BLS who produce the CPI [0], and replace them with political appointees, then maybe you can arrive at an “improved” CPI that hews more closely to your p

I, for one, come here in substantial part for the norms against aggression and toward calm substantive discussion. Shouting matches and rhetorical posturing are exhausting. There are places for that—most places online, anymore; this is not

That makes a lot of sense to me. I think I reacted more to the idea that fake deadlines are an appropriate technique for the purpose of squeezing people until they always scramble through their nights and weekends as a routine matter, like

It’s one question on a school exam, friend… And at least the guy had the honesty to admit his irrationality when called on it. That, to me, reads more like coming to terms with his error in an edge case than it does a systematic campaign of

Given that there are at least as many things happening as there are humans, how do you suggest the people serving as “news sources” avoid editorial judgment when deciding what’s newsworthy and what it means?

For what it’s worth, I didn’t find it “haughty” or tonally inappropriate at all (I thought it was fun and cute, and the right kind of unserious tone for a hacking-for-fun project). If we’re doing a line-level read, though, it did take me a

While billions of people do operate without cars (I’m one of them!), I feel like there’s a conditionality kind of constraint here: of the set of people who would normally be operating cars on local US arterial roads —that is, of the set of

I’m sorry, is the proposal here that you remove your legally-required number plates and travel that way (in which case Flock’s “vehicle DNA” feature recognition will quickly reidentify you), or that you buy or rent other cars? I guess start

Does this preserve the land values of currently-economical exurban plots? It seems like some of this kind of policymaking, explicitly or not, involves the metro region as a whole, no? Would these putative land value increases accrue to indi
