I wouldn’t so much consider this childish, as I would consider it criminal. You may feel justified in doing it, but don’t fool yourself: this would be theft.

Isn’t this a result of good governance, ie no stock buybacks?

That’s the wrong question. The right one is whether the economic downturn would be worse if we had a multiple amount of deaths. Additionally, we have saved lives (and animal lives)…

This is how PowerBI, from Microsoft, works. It copies the data into local RAM (or on a cloud machine that also runs the dataviz)

There are other options of actions he could have taken that wouldn’t have involved shutting borders. Over the years, as well as not making obviously false statements, starting in l…

That is a charitable view of private equity - that it improves margins without hurting operations. Another explanation lies in reputation mining. Think of it like doing something p…

Matt Levine has a good take from a few weeks ago. Basically he argues the buybacks were the only sensible play, if you were the airlines.

I’m on a 2 year contract with Comcast and getting 600 down for $60. You might give them a call to see if they can lower your rate.

Super interesting, thanks for replying! So you are aware that your estimate is biased because of your other beliefs, but you don’t try to fix that? Mind if I ask why?

Why do you believe that vehicle quality is related to anything else? This seems like halo effect bias.

The difference is that flat earthers reject objective evidence. This is someone disagreeing over projections about the future. And, to be frank, nobody has a fucking clue how to es…
