A major reason for the tariff thing is that free trade has a lot of losers, and those were left out to dry, and even ridiculed. Another reason is that being economically dependent on foreign countries can be quite risky. E.g. if China gets

If healthy people could opt out of insurance, it would get really expensive for the not-so-healthy. That's why mandatory insurances are quite common. Wheter it's a good idea to do this via private for-profit insurance and healthca

It's not a good reason to vote republicans but it is a good reason to be apathetic about democrats and the political system in general.

In aggregate things will get more expensive, but purchasing power of some will increase. Or at least that's the idea.

Probably more like wages will go up when cheap foreign labor is off the table. Higher income offsets higher prices for industries where wages rise. For the currently well paid the purchasing power may drop. Silicon Valley didn't care a

Biden was all in on tariffs too.

by jampekka 2y ago
Plenty of people have good reasons to support tariffs. Free trade destroyed a lot of industries and adjanced communities and the free trade fans didn't give a damn about them.

It is just plain old supervised learning. A regression from the post features to vote count. The RL discussion in TFA is a bit confusing. Such a model can be used as the "reward model" for the "reinforcement learning from hum

I don't think English is particularly easy to speak, read nor write. The pronounciation is highly irregular and the writing system is very non-phonetic. E.g. "spelling bees" don't make any sense in most languages. Chines

Also e.g. MS Word suggests getting rid of qualifiers. With papers and especially grant applications it's ridiculous that everybody knows they are overpromising but still they don't go through of they don't overpromise.
