While it took way way way too long for the scientific community to recognize airborne spread, it's hard to say that stuff like Diamond Princess could ONLY be explained by airborne spread. It was early in the pandemic, the disease was p

Unless there are some loops holes, no. If you book 1 dollar revenue and 1 dollar donation your profits don't change. But I don't even think you can book revenue for a donation made at a kiosk under GAAP accounting.

Pool and Line came pretty late in the game after the regulations changed. Uber absolutely used ride sharing to claim they weren’t taxis before Pool.

Deregulation helped. But the Uber dispatch was way better. Ubers would actually show up and you could see them coming on gps. For a while in Chicago, uberX was banned but you could use Uber to hail a registered cab. It was still much better

Depends on what you mean by consequences. If the consequence is people thinking you are a raging asshole sure. If it's people strongly disagreeing with you, sure. But if consequences means there is a coordinated effort among major corp

I'm not sure where I read it, but Toyota apparently saves money in the USA by making optional features included in the base model. In the 90's and early 00's, US companies would churn out base models with crank windows, manua

I love this argument. Americans are dumb because they can't understand metric! Why is metric better? It's easier to understand, of course! American's don't have a very intuitive understanding of metric because we don&#x

Certainly more spotty than pre-covid, but mostly back to normal. The only thing I can’t find is English imports, like Wensleydale cheese. Eggs got expensive here but it’s generally been in stock.

Because they need to keep the cars on their lots on their books. If car prices drop 25% they lost 25% of the value of their inventory. Not that car values have crashed 25% or will.

I don't know about soccer, but American sports news is hugely tied up with twitter. It's replaced the sports page of the news paper, ESPN, and even sports radio. I imagine it's the same for international football.

Disney makes Mickey Mouse cartoons and uses it as branding. It doesn't have value just because Disney thinks it could sell the rights for more later. In fact, they don't ever want to sell it.

I think Bitcoin has no value. But I don't think mining issue you raise is a reason why. The difficulty of mining is pegged to size of the mining pool so you don't actually need that many miners to operate the whole network. Mining

It might be a useful distinction, but it's weird terminology to a layman. Because in non-medical lingo, those are symptoms in the USA.

But is a runny nose (observable) not a symptom of a cold? Is fever not a symptom of Covid? If that's how medicine actually uses the term, okay, sometimes terms of art clash with the plain meaning, but damn that is a pretty weird distin

It's not a scam if everyone knows how the system works. The Federal Reserve doesn't pretend like the dollar is backed by anything. The Federal Reserve also manipulates supply to try to keep prices stable. They've messed that

It's really not easy. They more or less have tenure. They can only be fired for cause and they have a right to due process. These are legal rights that normal at-will employees just don't have.

It's not just a pay issue. Government is terrible at hiring good performers, weeding out bad performers, and motivating its workforce. Even if you hired a lead engineer for 400k, can't fire them if the end up being incompetent.
