sure, there are things that are uncertain about economics, but there are a great many things that are understood as well. Within Finance, its understood that some things are riskier than others. SVB blew up because they opted to buy highl

I’m skeptical that tenure is good for students, I knew so many teachers that just didn’t much care for their work and probably would have been fired if not for tenure. I understand the arguments in favor of tenure, particularly when it come

I’m skeptical of anything that characterizes BRICS as an “alliance”. There are so many people out there who are looking for the death of the dollar, but it seems highly unlikely that we’re going to see that. Instead I believe this reflects

I don't really know the origin of your trauma, but I was the victim of domestic violence. It caused a lot of anger in me, and that anger would just swell at essentially random moments if my mind drifted. When I'd get angry, I&#x2

This article is a joke, it claims that expansion of normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia is threatened by strikes against Iran by Israel. But the basis of the Israel-Saudi agreement is anti-Iranian. The Saudis would love Israel for

I've seen a few posts on blind that ask people their background that seem to follow that general percent. Obviously incredibly non-scientific.

I think you’re undervaluing the importance of 1) not starving and 2) being able to drink clean water. I’d also point out that the economic conditions of 500-150 years ago were predicated on slavery, serfdom, female guardianship and colonial

It's worth mentioning the backdrop of this is the current drive toward PSR (precision scheduled railroading), which has meant overworking train engineers with improved "efficiencies" through extremely long trains, and overwor

Here’s the thing — even if the advertisers leaving twitter isn’t Elon’s fault (I think it is). The threat to the company that it poses is. He chose to buy it with leverage in an inflationary economy, and he now has to deal of the billion to

I understand the nostalgia for a youth and place that is gone, but it’s interesting to point out in one sentence — “Austin was beset by racial divisions” and in the next paragraph discuss the hope that the city would institute strict zoning

I don’t even understand what you’re saying. This fantastic CEO did prep work last year with 11% of his company? Do you mean that he laid off 11% last year?

Seems short sighted given Mexico is officially the United States of Mexico.

This article is basically propaganda, blaming the US for all Argentina's problems (particularly overthrowing the Peron government), while somehow attempting to endorse the Peron governments -- who were Nazi Allies and Fascists. If you

I find it extremely odd that we discuss the settler-colonial societies in South America as victims of imperialism. They were colonial states setup for the benefit of the demographies that continue to rule these societies (mostly). These e

When I read articles like this, I feel like the authors play fast and loose with interpretations. In this piece They read off statements of literal propaganda and then act like the statements were simply understood as true. Would we take

Presumably there is stronger talent in NJ given the existing tv productions in the state. It’s not all a race to the bottom, particularly in industries with outsider winners.

Good point, I thought there was a prior instance, but couldn’t remember the specifics.

I don’t think I would. The defining conflict of the latter 20th century was the Cold War, a war in which one side (the USSR) was essentially dependent on American food exports. Moreover, the USSR’s economy was totally integrated between eac

Variants of this are always stated, and always made false in relatively short order. Many claimed Europe was too interdependent for continental warfare, then WWI happened. No two countries with McDonald’s went to war, and then Ukraine was

I don't think women really have the best perspective on the difficulties of being short as there's never been a strong sexual stigma against being short for women. This seems particularly pronounced through the commoditization of

what's the problem with having a part of the library be intended for young people and students? That seems like a better use of the space than having the city turn the library into a daytime homeless shelter.

can you help me make sense of your argument? If most people have bad taste, how can peer pressure prevent ugliness? Peer pressure almost by definition demands conformity.

I hate C++. I work with it professionally and have for years. The entire language feels like an anti pattern at this point. I’m repeatedly told how incredibly powerful this language is if I only use this preferred set of language sub featur

Why would top performers stick around after being told they’ll be forced to work long hours without any benefit? It seems like only the desperate would stay. From what we’ve read the majority of those who stayed did so because they are on v

I understand wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt, but his decision making around twitter has basically been disastrous from the start. 1. Bought the company at an overinflated price and tried to back out, but was ultimately forced

I don’t actually disagree with you, I was just responding specifically to that one person.
