It’s actually a really good (long scroll) illustration of how the two affect the circadian rhythm. Standard time has the lower impact of the two.

In that universe people might possibly work for lower wages. It’s an income effect. Plus the present value of future healthcare costs goes far down too (individually and in aggregate).

No good businessperson runs around as half-cocked in bright, broad daylight as this guy. I’ve heard plenty of large fund managers say he’s too overboard to take seriously enough to invest in his businesses.

I’m pointing out the editorializing implicit in the framing. Apparently groundwater is used for crops all throughout Mexico and the southwest. I definitely wish it weren’t the case and instead a national water grid like how we have national

Also the US long ago decided to make international trade a point of ensuring and reinforcing national security. Marshall plan and all that.

I’m in that highly-unlucky older millennial to almost gen-X cohort that got royally screwed by the Great Recession. So yeah really wish policies would favor us little people for once.

Have to wonder why the tie-in to overseas trade in an article about wells running dry. Feels more like stoking outrage over foreigners than drought.

I wonder if their weak interaction with matter could hint they interact with dark matter more than matter. If so, maybe we’d see (inverse) statistical differences between neutrino sources and dark matter halos? Anyway here they’re saying a

Better apartment architecture could go a ways towards ameliorating this, I suspect. But I’ve definitely not seen any.

Actually the glut is in several types of hands. Developers, homeowners who will turn into sellers in 1-2 years, and flippers. The flippers particularly hold more housing stock than they did in 05-08 by wide margin (per this source). He also

I’ve noticed a trend on YT. If someone’s going to criticize Tesla or Elon they don’t outright say the name. They say “that other big EV company” or similar. That’s about as good a demonstration of censoring dissent as can get.

I hate to take this side, but I do wonder how it took 7500 people to run twitter. Scott Galloway made this point yesterday in his Prof G podcast. It’s not like they had to pipe data ultimately efficiently like a Netflix, for example. It’s m

If your data don’t encapsulate conditions similar to the conditions you’re trying to explain then you really shouldn’t use that data at all or in isolation. This is still the post-Covid economy and the closest period to that was 1917-1922 (
