   > Space ISR means all movement of carrier groups at any given time is essentially known. Do you have a source for this claim? I have argued with colleagues for years and they all say that satellites cannot track carriers

   Yeah, the incentives are completely different between exchanges and bookmakers. Exchanges make money regardless of who wins or loses. Bookmakers make money from their users losing.

   If bookies want better prices they can pay for prices from places that have good models. Or they can buy / build their own models. What you're suggesting doesn't make sense from an economic perspective.

   Strategy (2) doesn't tell you how to come up with the initial prices, and bookies can potentially lose a significant amount from giving "bad" initial prices. If an individual is winning a lot of money from a bookie repeatedly

   Sports betting is not a game of pure chance, but bookmaking is arguably ethically quite problematic. Most individuals are going up against these very sophisticated statistical models created by teams of quants working with huge datasets tha

   Hard agree. Apple has lost my data on multiple occasions. I resized my Time Machine partition and that silently corrupted most of my backups. Apple is the only company that makes such terrible file systems. I have resized partitions on NTFS

   Classic guilt by association. By the same logic you can argue that vegetarianism has murdered millions because Hitler was a vegetarian.

    A more careful reading of the Bible will tell you that the Bible does not say that "rich people won't go to heaven" so much as "anyone who is fixated on riches won't go to heaven". As Haydock’s commentary puts

    > If the wife gets ill, the marriage has about a 20% chance of ending because of it. If the husband becomes ill, there is only a 3% chance. Wrong. That paper has been debunked already. See: https://www.benjaminkeep.com/mi

    The paper that you cited is the 2009 study: Glantz, M. J., Chamberlain, M. C., Liu, Q., Hsieh, C. C., Edwards, K. R., Van Horn, A., & Recht, L. (2009). Gender disparity in the rate of partner abandonment in patients with serious medical

    The downward revisions were overall a lot bigger than the upward revisions. BLS methodology causes it to get data from larger companies first, and this tends to systemically bias it towards downward revisions

    > Technical excellence flows from moral expansion. I don't know that this is true. Teichmuller was an incredibly talented mathematician and he was a committed Nazi.

    Precision bombing? With WW2 era tech? In WW2 you were lucky if you managed to hit a city-sized target, never mind an industrial site.

    In many European countries electricity is quite expensive. In the U.K. for example, running 20 watts nonstop for a year will cost you around $65 on a typical tariff. If you have more than one home server the savings can quickly add up.

    China has more robots per capita than the US And the idea that China has low wages is outdated. Companies like Apple don't use China for its low wages, countries like Vietnam have lower wages. China's strength lies in its manufact

    Oh wow, yeah I see your point, that is indeed extremely misleading. I had always thought that enterprise SSDs used higher quality flash than consumer SSDs because of the higher endurance guarantees - that was why I bought them. Now I feel l
