There are so many types of entropy. Why not understand it in your domain and then backtrack the more general definition?

The higher order effects of a 100% increase in 1 day of nickel is Knightian uncertain. It paused? lol https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/nickel

I think they will play the hand as dealt but I don't think the conflict is worth it to them overall. There has already been a record sell-off in Chinese government debt the past few weeks. This is such a fragile time after 2 years of C

I think it is because we have gutted the idea of a liberal arts education. Shakespeare is supposed to be read along with a massive amount of other literature going back to the Greeks. We have ditched most of that though besides Shakespeare

I am pretty sure these companies wouldn't get paid with the ban on SWIFT or the money would be stuck in Russia so it is basically free PR. "Coke can't get paid so suspending business in Russia"

Not to mention, you can't even express this thought on twitter. Way too many characters. I think the character limit creates a blunt form of communication that leads to this toxic environment. It is practically designed to create misun

Nickel last night? https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/nickel I have never seen anything like that.

Because women can't tell confidence on a dating app they have a height filter and then it is 99% based on how photogenic the person is. I have been on internet dates for almost 25 years now and I could even tell how interest in me woul

We have basically just broke the petrodollar system and done more for petroyuan than China could have thought up in their wildest dreams. Who cares about the long term though? All that matters is what we can tweet about this afternoon.

I am pretty sure it means if they open the exchange, it will be the most lopsided market of sell orders ever. Doesn't seem to be any indication that the markets will open tomorrow. Nickel market is completely dislocated now https:&#x2

I have been listening to the ancients and have become suspect of ambition. It is not like if you see ambition as something less than a moral good you will no longer get anything done. You will just turn off this useless modeling of future e

As an atheist and student of history, it is hard to not smile knowing the Pope's opinion on this means absolutely nothing.

That is not the point. Energy prices are a massive input to systemic inflation. We are setting ourselves up for a 70s style stagflation environment. The 70s environment was practically defined by energy price shocks. Even if you own an EV y

I only travel with my backup phone with a fresh re-install. The main thing is it is nice to get away from the main phone on a trip and enjoy the trip. Losing it would not be the end of the world. All these other aspects you get for free.

The ruble has lost about that vs USD since Feb 21/22nd and that is with a crazy 10% emergency rate hike between then and now to defend the ruble.

You also can't discount how current pro-Western Russians will feel a year from now from economic collapse and total isolation? Probably not so pro-West anymore.

This is such an insane war on "misinformation". I would give anything to go back to usenet and that everything would be taken with a grain of salt because it is usenet. That is never going to happen though. We are society of autom

I just can't believe any thinking person believes that punishing the Russian people has any chance of getting rid of Putin. He has had all the time in the world to insulate himself and plan exactly for that situation. I bet he doesn&#x

No one listened to arguably the greatest economist of all time in 1919 when Keynes wrote The Economic Consequences of the Peace. No one is going to listen now. Not to mention the die has been cast already.

We have no idea what the higher order effects of this will be. There is an article in the Atlantic how this could cause a depression in Tajikistan. This couldn't possibly be at a more fragile global economic time either after 2 years o

I think that is one variable but I also think senior execs want to walk into buildings with large groups of people that are less than them on the pecking order. Getting your ass kissed all day can not feel the same remote as in person. You

The whole Russian economy is going to collapse. Gazprom is down 87% in Europe since the Russian markets were open. That is a giant energy company with oil up huge. The ruble took another massive hit again last night. Any Russian financial c

IMO it is because we need to retire the word "chaos" in this context. To me, that James Gleick book had massive negative value. It branded the important fields of dynamics and complex systems as "chaos" and fractals. We
