This just isn’t true - I sort of wish it where. > If they intend to purchase properties, it benefits them to depress pricing in the area Yeah, that’s true of everyone but how would a bank/individual do that? By selling… But if they

Actually pretty cool - I was about to comment “nice perpetual motion machine” but looked into a bit more and it’s much more interesting than that (well, a real perpetual motion machine would be interesting but…) Thanks for posting. Pretty c

In subjects where you never had to put your credibility where your mouth is - the data says whatever you’d like it to say. Not to butcher Karl Popper early on Monday morning, but a very good guideline for whether a subject area is scientifi

Something very strange is going on in this case. Reading between the lines, there’s someone specific (forgive the cliche but, perchance, an ex wife) who either is being intentionally and subtly threatened, or feels that way. The article is

I’m just saying that I draw the line somewhere with how upset someone is. Like, if someone read my comment and thought it was unfair then I agree with them. If someone read it and was deeply hurt by it - that’s really in their court not min

I’m not gonna delete it as it’s just going to make comments like yours confusing for people, but that was poor phrasing from me. It gave the impression that this specific journalist knows nothing, which is unfair. I was trying to be funny (

Sure. The headlines says that music “speeds recovery” but the paper specifically says that patients had similar recovery profiles. The media article overall overstates the findings of the study. It’s a very specific study on a specific coho

I’m sure the individual writer is smart educated and thoughtful, but the system of science journalism (science communication is different but equally flawed) is so bent-out-of-shape as to be effectively worthless. Like, take this exact arti

Better to link the actual study rather than what a know-nothing hack has to say about it: https://mmd.iammonline.com/index.php/musmed/article/view/111... Nothing against the BBC but the most thoughtful j

I worked in the City (Citie) of London and have off and on taken an interest in the history. Much of the special status of London was granted before 1189, and it retains its special because of time immemorial concept and English common law.

An interesting response from an LLM. I’d love to hear more from the person who prompted it.

Cool idea and interesting that Grok is winning and has “bad” stats. I wonder if Grok is exploiting Minstral and Meta who vpip too much and the don’t c-bet. Seems to win a lot of showdowns and folds to a lot of three bets. Punishes the nits

> And this increase happened suddenly, between 2008 and 2010 Occam’s Razor tells me that it’s almost certainly linked to the near-total failure of the economic system (and the very slow recovery outside specific US cities).

Interestingly, the US made money on the Mexico bailout in the 80s and 90s. That’s only on the interest, not to mention the US economic activity. https://www.piie.com/publications/chapters_preview/43/6iie27...

Owning part of one company in one sector is not socialism unless you think nearly every country in the world since the invention of the limited company is socialist? “Bailing out the rich” isn’t socialist is it? What do you think “socialist

I don't know if I agree that it's 'slop' but yeah the artist is clearly pushing out a very specific style of AI generated music.

I got this AI-generated version of Without Me recommended in my Discover Weekly. The artist is Orion7. There's zero disclosure that it's AI generated but I was suspicious because a. the distinctive 'AI hiss' I recognise

My comment wasn't clear - I'm talking about abandoned rigs. So the well is sealed. Some of the more extreme "environmentalist" (in my opinion extreme) also demand that the ocean floor near the well is scrubbed clean to &

Oil Rigs seem to be, counterintuitively, very good for a bunch of species. In the Gulf of Texas there’s been ongoing fights between environmentalists (helping species who live under and around the rigs) and environmentalists (protecting the

Dollar do pay rent (just buy T bonds) and the comparison here is not with dollars - it’s with the MSCI which pays dividends.

Right. So 2000 was an all-time-high for US equities and a 20y-time-low for Gold. You can get whatever number you want if you do it that way! Not to mention that the index doesn’t account for dividends and your pet rock doesn’t pay you any
