Turnout is not a binary thing. What he wrote about Palestinians is horrifying enough that a lot of younger voters and Arab voters would stay home and refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils.

It’s moreso the reverse, having a VP that opposes the president especially on foreign policy allows them to collude against the White House. This was a big problem in the Obama administration with Biden frustrating Obama’s foreign policy at times.

It’s easy to make a new browser fingerprint. Websites don’t have access to your actual hardware ID (and even that can be changed).

Many/most reputable places that do this kind of trading have fixed whole market exposure, either long only or long/short (and a lot are long/short). The idea being that since it’s mathematically impossible for the average hedge fund to beat the market in the long term by much (tbf, less so since the rise of index funds), they should at least be able to provide returns that aren’t correlated to the stock market, as any idiot can get correlated returns.

Besides, everyone knows that just because things are getting worse doesn’t mean number won’t go up - you’d typically trade on the belief that number go up in some more sophisticated way, perhaps by predicting what the fed will do to make sure number go up, or how the books will be cooked to make sure number go up.

It’s weird how many lefties there are in finance. I once had a discussion with a quant on how economic planning would probably work and should be tried, and I once added someone on discord and found they were in the Hasanabi discord. I guess it makes sense when your job is to see past the bs.

Saturation attacks (fire more cruise missiles than it has interceptors to defend itself) are a pretty sure fire way. You can buy 8000 cruise missiles for the cost of a single carrier.

Alternatively, antiship ballistic missiles, super long range torpedoes/unmanned submarines.

I’m not opposing the research, I’m opposing the implementation. Spending trillions of dollars because >1% of the population would be inconvenienced as you showed by having to use less developed or more expensive alternative is stupid.

Investing trillions of dollars into dead ends is, however, the enemy of progress. The ressources we’re throwing at replacing existing cars with EV cars would be enough to implement better solutions.

Yes! And you know what, at that point, given the size of a minimum viable car, we could use some kind of algorithm to match people that are going similar places, and put them together to be more efficient. And I bet we’d find that a lot of the large scale transit patterns are common large parts of the population, so we could even use some kind of segregated, higher speed, more frequent vehicle for that.

While we’re at it, we might as well just warehouse some of these vehicles around places where the common cores end and start, and then we would only have to match one end of the trip.

Oh wait, we already have those in operation in China: https://m.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=wvNOTZZeYVs

You can’t create infinite information from a set of rules. Kolmogorov proved that the true amount of information in a signal is the size of smallest ruleset to produce it. The rest is really just fluff, from an information science perspective.

See: Kolmogorov complexity, and the field of algorithmic information theory.
