Great article. Zip codes can be super expedient. But you have to be self aware that for many uses cases they function WORSE than a random grid. Because they have built-in aggregation of a central post office(and surrounding) with a certain

You're right. Dumping refers to international trade. I believe parent commenter was thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing

And we need more lightweight cars , not heavier, since tire wear is proportional to vehicle weight to the fourth power. Ironically, CAFE regulations and EV incentives both did the opposite

We could get eggs for 40c a dozen 6 years ago?

Doesn't quite answer the question (of why they should sell at the highest price they can). Unless you are suggesting that raising prices today is better (normative sense, since you used the word "should") than raising price

If they don't want to charge more though?

We grow that at home. (Corn, soy and sugar) In fact the tariffs will help fund the farm bills.

Sounds reasonable. Which countries got better after the IMF got involved?
703.
by hammock 2y ago
When a country takes an IMF loan, it’s often the political elites—not the general population—who make the decision. And in many cases, these elites personally benefit from the deal, even if it devastates their nation in the long run For exa

El Salvador has been in the IMF debt trap since 1949. It’s not just a billion dollar loan we’re talking about. Although scaled to GDP it’s quite a lot

by hammock 2y ago
Correct. The IMF can’t run its debt trap/looting playbook without more currency control

Love this. So clearly written. The truest thing we know is how much we don’t know

Ok stick your shirtsleeve in a toaster. 1000W? How many minutes until it’s 125F. Same answer?

If we assume a clothes dryer is 3000W, how long does it take a cotton shirt to get heated from 20c to 53c? A few minutes? So perhaps this fabric heats up 3-5x faster

No no yeah that might explain why I attracted some other weird comments as well. I only mean, natural selection is the survivability of e.g. a nose shape trait across generations, which can happen via reproduction, early death, etc and it’s

I wonder if this has always been true

That all seems logical. What is the connection to the previous point?

Ok, what about looking at nose shape of diaspora that have historically (multigenerationally) high BMI? Not an expert but might suggest Inuit, some Pacific Islanders, Māori, west Africans maybe. How are their noses shaped and anything that

Try a little benefit of the doubt, nuance or colloquialism. Or a bit of all three.

I was a controller at DCA for 8 years and this is a normal operation with Helicopters using the Helicopter routes. The problem I see is the controller asked the Helicopter if they had the CRJ in sight, but he never said WHERE HE WAS OR WHAT

The AI models to begin with assume that a significant majority of the training material is honest/in good faith. So that is not new?

How did you get diagnosed eventually? What all tests did you go thru first?
