Just for some context, a million gallons of water is about three feet covering one acre. Almonds use four per year. There are individual farms in the California delta using three orders of magnitude more per year.
I made no such claim. I simply asked someone who said that we can all agree taxes must go up to what level they were referring to and how they chose the number. If there is no fixed ratio such as you say, then their…
The ratio of the economy that gets collected as taxes has only gone up over time. Do you have an idea for how much should be collected as some ideal ratio? At what point do the effects of taxation become…
Inequality isn’t as simple as pulling one tax lever, and not all levers are equally effective at all points of the pull. Dead-weight loss is an important concept when designing tax policies, otherwise why not simply…
I find the ethics of these kind of predator reintroduction programs to be extremely dubious. I feel this story could be reframed easily as ‘American activists unleash genetically modified hunters upon the world’s…

Only the Nasdaq, which is an intentionally aggressive index. The S&P rejected all proposals.
It’ll be at least a year before they are eligible to join the S&P500. They also need to become profitable.
Many people avoid washing cars just before rain to avoid spots, etc. Phoenix as an extreme example rarely rains and leaves everything filthy afterwards.
No, this is the term they use to refer to their package of sensors, compute, and software.
In statistics, the p-value is shorthand for “how unlikely was this result.” Smaller p-values indicate less likely results, which in turn creates evidence of a relationship between variables. Many naive approaches to…
At some point Waymo is going to want a lot of cars if things go well. Those cars need to be electric, due to the power draw of the computer and sensors. A partnership doesn’t necessarily make sense between these…
The Chicago grid is actually based on fractions of a mile (1/8 and 1/16 iirc), and when I lived there I would absolutely convert blocks to miles automatically when talking to people.
How would that be different than property tax, which SF has?
Illegal immigrants are counted by the census and total population is used to allocate congressional districts. High rates of illegal immigrants in a district therefore increases the voting power of the citizens living…
Poor incentives for the existing members of the system that hold power to implement change. They already cap the number of med students to control salaries, perhaps burning out young doctors fulfills the same purpose,…
Student loans used to be eligible for loan forgiveness as well, but we ran into a situation where every new doctor in America was immediately declaring bankruptcy. Unlike a house, the gains from education cannot be…
They recently installed a little door at my self checkout. I cannot even walk out of my grocery store without scanning a receipt or flagging an employee to open the door. It’s frustrating.
Alphabet is similar. Larry and Sergei together have a majority of the voting power.
Most OEMs have signed deals with Tesla to use their network in the US, but I don’t believe these have yet to go into effect.
Steam works fine on my M1.
There is an interesting now product called zBiotic that you could look into. You take it before drinking and it helps metabolize one of the alcohol byproducts that causes hangovers.
Soybeans and corn can often be grown in the same areas, and corn uses more fertilizer than soybeans so your logic checks out. The problem is that corn produces more calories per acre than soybeans (or any other crop),…
That’s not free money; it’s money taken from people under threat of violence.
The winners curse also creates the curious corollary that one should probably bid less, the more people are in the auction.
