Under what argument should it be reasonable to force people to play the lottery and pay $1/week for it? I don't play the lottery, feel it's stupid and just a tax on impossibly optimistic people (or those good at math), and wo

For starters, the game theory discussion you are replying to seems deeply simplistic. Even if you win, you end up with a ruined planet (how many nukes would you need to neuter Russia?), are likely to end up in jail in your own country for d

Let me guess. Was the 5th circuit judge appointed by Trump, with a super conservative background, from the South, vetted by the Federalist society, and pretty young so he/she will last a long time on the bench?

By the way, does anyone have a sense on how long is the wait list for DALLE2? I got into the wait-list at the end of April and am still there.. midjourney is amazing (even subscribed) but I want more variety in my AI art :)

It's specific to the most important subtype, which single handedly rescued the entire beta-amyloid theory from the waste bin it was headed to in the early 2000s. Even 5-10 years ago I heard stories of researchers criticizing the "

But it's not just that. With a free economy the problem would sort-of have solved itself, as there are a lot of poorer countries that don't have currency crises. To get as screwed up as this you can only achieve with centralized p

A few reddit comments pointed that the gun was a shotgun, the arrested suspect was in his 40s and presumably an NCO in JSDF. Nothing about motivation yet, just that he surrendered after the two shots

Are you naive or what? Republicans have lists of candidates for justices that they have deemed so anti roe-vs-wade that they deemed safe to propose for justices. Someone like Thomas is not going to change his mind once he is appointed...

Wouldn't it had made more sense for the "market makers" to buy the coins themselves at half the price instead of waiting for arbitragers to just pocket the extra money?

I just bought an RX 6600, for about $320. It's definitely not the latest GPU, not even close, but it made me realize something: Because of the GPU shortage, game makers couldn't rely on enough users having the best/latest car

Richard Peng (and coauthors) has a lot of great work (such as this: https://epubs.siam.org/doi/abs/10.1137/110845914 as well as his more recent paper with Sidford). But agree with the other commenters that im

What's the chance of him just polling off a dogecoin? Price went up, he sells, then says "sorry for rejecting my offer" (which of course had "secured funding" and all that). Would be a great way to make a few extra

Open question: won't inflation lead to mechanically higher stock prices, specially if it's demand driven? Say we give duplicate the amount of money in the economy(M1 M2 etc) and prices immediately double. Won't that also doub

Nonsense. 8.5% is literally slightly hotter than the expected 8.4%. From yesterday's Axios: > Details: Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect the release to show 8.4% inflation over the last year. That would be the highest inflation ra

In case anyone knows, was this related to antivaxxing? With three doses, mortality rate is pretty low now.

Nah, once it's out there people can do whatever they want with it, in the same way that once "xerox" became a common word, it wouldn't matter if Xerox Corp. came and said "hey btw it's pronounced as ZEROZ"

You made me think. The weights of e.g. the SP500 are not ideal then. Berkshire is in the SP500, but so are Apple, Coca Cola, Amex, BoA, etc. which are Berkshire largest investments. So if Coca Cola has an idiosyncratic hit, then you get hit

Well Cali has 1/7th of the entire US GDP, so it's an unfair comparison. By itself, it would be the 5th largest economy in the world.
