Witty anecdotes are more useful than witty memes and hot takes. One value of comment sections is they add personal anecdotes to the general story. But memes and hot takes add little.

Seiko also builds watches that use GPS signals to set the time zone and the time.[1] Seems like a cool idea if you cross time zones often and have an extra $2,000 on your hands. [1] https://www.seikowatches.com/us-en/pr

The same brands carry more colorful clothes for women than for men. I don’t suppose that their offerings for men are higher quality than their offerings for women.

> So it makes sense that people who care about quality moved away from colorful things. Women’s clothing is more colorful today. I don’t think it is because women care less about quality than men.

Products also have lifecycles. What is profitable now won’t be as profitable in 10 years if at all. iPhones seem to have plateaued for example, there’s not much change from 13 to 15, so there’s less incentive to buy one. So Apple does well

Parent said that the academic consensus is based on scientific evidence. My point was that the academic consensus can also reflect authority rather than evidence. Evidence for pre-Clovis human presence has been known for a while but its val

That is true, mathematics is different in the substance of the debate. In archeology, to my cursory understanding as a non-archeologist, the debate has been about whether the evidence for pre-Clovis human habitation in the Americas can be a

There are more than two statements that can be made about the world. The statement that you are claiming that I made I did not make.

The academic consensus is usually reached through a social process, so who wields authority within the discipline also influences what the consensus is. An example from mathematics: the shunning of Georg Cantor for his proof that the real

Could you be specific and point to a highly cited study that set up such an experiment? What in the experimental design do you think mechanically reinforced ideological biases and how would you have designed the experiment instead?

A reminder that nobody except the Nobel memorial prize calls economics “economic science.” Economists just call it economics. And you will most likely never meet an “Associate Professor of Economic Science” either.

Hey, I don’t know what’s happening in your life but all of your recent comments seem bitter and abrasive. I hope that you get to take a break in some way.

I’m not talking about human behavior so much as about market structure. You go with the best offer that you get. If 3/4 is the best offer because your employer has driven labor-market competition out of town or because there wasn’t muc

You will go back if you have no other company who would pay you more than 3/4. And that’s what you get when there is no inflation but the employer side of the labor market becomes more concentrated or employers collude to only ever pay

I think it's less about the Fed and more about the erosion of workers' bargaining power in the form of declining union membership and maybe more large employers who can push wages down due to labor market monopsony.

The Greek still did something remarkable that to my knowledge we don’t have record of from before: they started a culture of free thinking that grew into philosophy, logic, and scientific inquiry. They also sentenced some of their free thin
