Much of the velocity on a home run comes from the pitch (equal and opposite reaction) rather than the bat speed. So it’s not that easy to hit a home run on a 50 mph pitch.

You mentioned the huge number of bovines in the past. I strongly doubt there were anything like the 1.5 billion cows there are now. One reason it’s impossible is that we have literally transformed huge land areas from forests and other typ

Have you ever looked at a pie chart of mammal biomass by species. It goes Humans then cows then everything else is way back. I strongly strongly doubt that big dumb slow cows would be number 2 in biomass absent our loving burgers.

Do you mean multiplicative? Or linear? Why would it be exponential?

It would only go in half if they issued double the shares and didn’t get any assets. In this case, the expectation is that the value of Unity equals roughly the value of the issued shares.

Not sure where you live, but where I’m from, an increase/decrease in home value affects your proportion of the overall property taxes but not the absolute amount. If everyone’s home goes down by 20% then everyone gets same tax bill.

Not sure why you were downvoted. As a Canadian I’ve never heard the expression northern provinces, because that’s nonsense they basically all start at the border.

I think the parent meant that people who had not gotten a vaccine will get omicron, which is hopefully mild, and will hopefully provide good protection. So they probably should have used immunize vs vaccinate.

That makes no sense to me. One particle goes in one direction at a particular velocity and another particle goes in another direction at another velocity. They diverge over time. When you travel through time, which particle’s path do you fo

I wonder if you gave away your phone number there? Or how many 7 digit numbers match those criteria?

I am not uncertain. (Billions reference) To elaborate - use someone who gets their hands dirty gathering info then communicates their certainty in code and in person.

No. It is on a Thursday this year. Like all holidays if it is on a Saturday or Sunday it is observed on the Monday. But it doesn’t move if it is on Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday.

That is not how effectiveness is measured. 96% effective would mean in the vaccinated group 4 got infected and in the control group (no vaccine), 100 got infected.

As Matt Levine would say, the way to do that is to mint and sell your own NFT. That way you are on the opposite side of the trade as the bulls who you believe are wrong.

That’s not correct. Dunning-Kruger also accounts for competent people underestimating their competence (like impostor syndrome).

Sounds like you need to “kill your darling” as it were. The number of people who you will reach if you scale is exponentially more than those who have already connected with your story.

Cool article, love the insight into the thought process and best of luck. But that name HelloHailey seems like literally an insane choice. I would never use it. As far as I know I’m the target market so may want to look at changing it if o

That is not how accounting works. You can only write off the book value (ie what you paid).
