My understanding is: each WO bids in confidence and the budget is secret. The winning bid is the largest X such that X * (number of warrant officers signing up for another six years) = budget. Everyone bidding X and lower wins X. Everyone h

I presumed Hershey was a valuable brand name. If they can't distinguish "chocolate" from "chocolatey", why would they even risk the Hershey or Reece's brand names? Why not release it as generic? Otherwise, we&#

Sorry, yes, I wasn’t clear. The point I wanted to make was that this tariff strategy seems to fail propelling any job creation at all . To the degree that if it wasn’t tariffs but some kind of protection money, we’d more clearly call it a

The current system relates bonus pay to a variety of measures. This new one introduces the game theory incentive of performing in this reverse auction. Under these new rules, what happens if every warrant officer enters the exact same numbe

Seems to me that there are all sorts of possibilities with rogue DNS usage. For example, if your audience is the kind of person who’s comfortable adding your own DNS server, then run something like Technitium with fairly permissive access t

Kavanaugh’s reasoning is that a wartime law, TWEA, can be congruent to a peacetime law, IEEPA. The rest of the court acknowledged that the President always had control of tariffs during war.

With as much respect as possible, isn’t this disproven by data now? You can’t connect tariffs to a single manufacturing job created.

Israel has such a system. Netanyahu is aloft because of a small, fringe party.

I wager he’ll: 1. Claim to refund the money to each taxpayer with a Trump-signed check. 2. The number of checks will not total $200 B. Any reporting to the contrary will take up space from the truth about Epstein. 3. Before 2028, a loyal Su

The college disability stuff sounds like small potatoes. At least, compared to Vietnam draft deferments. We used to have Gore and Kerry types, who volunteered for the infantry. Even with the lottery number 356 , Trump ensured a medical def

Moreover, NATO is justified to do whatever it takes to keep Russia from auctioning its stockpile. That means protecting it from internal collapse, not winning too decisively, even benefitting Putin when necessary. With START falling apart

Well the Forbes Top 1000 (which has a lower threshold of $3.8 B) is missing 30-200 wealthy but totally obscure people. That proportion is close to what HN might consider "smart".

This has happened in slow motion. Tesla down maybe 6.5% since.

You don't want the chip to be reprogrammable or wipeable.

For maybe 100 years, we’ve lived in an era of diminished hat importance. I, for one, don’t want to be caught hatless around any sharp-tongued re-enactors.

I think it might benefit from an explanation why your regression residuals differ from the government’s. For example, how do you treat cases which resulted in probation? When the sentence is over 60 months, do any effects maintain their sig

DNS would be fine, too. At minimum, a LOC record for a helpful neighbor.

As we know, these are not tax dollars saved. MDM, animal and human drug submissions are fee-based. Are those companies excited about their studies being processed this way? Are fees going down?

At this security conference, Zelenskyy was able to talk about the secrecy of the Anchorage meeting last August. Putin dominated that meeting; mostly without an interpreter. And there was no ceasefire, no progress from Europe’s point of view

Those are indeed nationalist overtones that work in Russia. Close Western observers don’t ignore Navalny’s early nationalist statements and marches. I wonder if it’s the easiest path out of obscurity nowadays.

Obviously this is different than Litvinenko. Someone smuggled synthetic venom into a prison in Russia. Was it a failure of Russian security, or a success?

No, this is a joint statement during the Munich Security Conference. Perhaps its timing is useful to remind Kremlin sympathizers about who they’ve chosen to bed.

Secret message cooperation is unlikely, since one side is accusing the other of violating international humanitarian law.

I’m only aware of one data point: unlike comparable elections, the Republican won voters who did not participate in 2020. Sounds like you’ve seen other research?
