You can compare modeled heat deaths across different countries, Western Europe is still significantly higher. Eg Figure 3C in https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7618246/ It doesn't affect life expectancy much,…
This simulation claims otherwise (though I agree it's hard to believe): > A significant degradation of external thermal comfort can also be seen in the simulations, as heat released by AC systems warms the outside air…
Yeah, good point.
They're using a Benjamini–Hochberg correction (alpha=0.05) to account for multiple comparisons (see Table 2).

It does not, as explained in the section "Are Landlords Rent Seekers?" "Rent seeking" is more about making money by changing the rules instead of providing a service.
Counterintuitively, collecting rent is not considered "rent-seeking" by the econ definition, eg: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/rentseeking.asp
Opposing Israel's flagrant violations of international law is not hate speech or discrimination against Jews, regardless of how desperately you want it to be.

Alameda was only profitable in the years when Bitcoin was going up. By 2022 their trading operations were deeply negative (hence the decision to steal customer funds).
Why not simply use median life expectancy, which is more robust to fraud and outliers, instead of "number of centenarians"?

Indeed GP is falsely equating "wealthiest" with "highest taxable income". They are likely referring to a stat like this: https://usafacts.org/articles/who-pays-the-most-income-tax/

Neat, thanks for sharing! I suppose drones are the most likely explanation?
