I think this will lead to inflation. Why should essential workers keep working if everyone else can stay home and do poetry? The natural response is to raise prices for their labor. Obviously if the same amount of money is obtainable with 1

I think it's a bad idea. There are people who grew up in poverty that still do well on the SAT, in fact that's exactly what the SAT is for - to identify those people, who might not be informed about math competitions or intel scie

Not if they’re banging on the windows, pulling on the doors and trying to drag you out of it.

I’d say they’re in a pretty tough spot. I certainly wouldn’t have the patience to be the punching bag of a bunch of assholes who are so sure that if they were in charge, things would be better... I guess that’s why I’m not a cop.

If you frontrun a merger or a huge earnings miss, there's nearly a 0 percent chance you will lose money, and you can further leverage with options.

It is trivial to outperform the market by insider trading, thus markets are inefficient. The efficient market hypothesis isn't dead, it was never true.

I experience a similar thing. I'm on the spectrum, and with new friends it's always an anxiety inducing countdown until they identify me as an "alien", after which we are really no longer friends - I am an other, to be r

They're trying to reduce the number of Asians at the school, plain and simple.

observe that log10(125) = log10(100) + log10(1.25) log10(100) = 2 log10(1.25) = log(1 + 0.25) / log(10) ~ 0.25 / log(10) < 0.25 / 2 = 0.125 Thus log10(125) ~ 2.12 but probably a little less.

There's this thing called equity that is distributed to co-founders and early employees of startups that serves as a form of collective ownership of the net assets and future profits, as well as decision making of the company. It'

Isn't this the genius of capitalism? If your coworker makes a billion dollar product all on their own, you're less likely to become resentful because you own stock in the company and will therefore cash out on the reward.

my point is that all citizens of US are high earners from a global perspective. Taxing USA-standard "high earners" wouldn't generate nearly enough funds for a global UBI (it probably wouldn't for a USA UBI either).

Would those in the USA accept a tax where all income above $10,000 / year (around the global mean) was taken to enable global redistribution?

You know something? I know a little abstract algebra: groups, subgroups, quotient groups, and the relvent theorems behind them. It's been disappointingly useless to me though. Maybe someday I will take the quotient group of two matrix

According to general relativity, the time order of events is relative depending on your position and velocity. This also seems to break causality in textbook quantum mechanics since local changes can lead to global adjustments (collapse, fo

why did you link to the science daily and not any actual article? The linked page doesn't even link to an article, it links to a university press release. From 2004 no less. How am I supposed to verify that they are replicating publish
