They can still own the trillion dollar company for glory and fame; they just can't cash out.

Also I don't think there should be a cap, but the tax rate should go up indefinitely, causing diminishing returns for higher earners. I pay a higher percentage of tax if my employer pays me more, but I still prefer higher paying jobs.
Dirt is so very sticky over a period of a moving 7-year average because it is our era's store of wealth gold semi-equivalent compared to back when gold backed currencies. Equities are our silver semi-equivalent compared to back when we had a bi-metal backing. What really backs currencies today is far more complex, but that's a gist.

If it wasn't, then you wouldn't have so many companies whose financial "ballast" so-to-speak driven largely by dirt, like McDonald's as a famous example but this is far more prevalent in business than you'd think if you haven't been around lots of businesses.

Stack on all the structural advantages conferred to real estate asset characterization and outright subsidies, and it isn't surprising that dirt pricing follows more of a subsidized pricing behavior than an open market with rapid value and price discovery.

It's the cattle farmers in other countries that want to import California feed (because it's on the west coast and easier to ship?).

> shot like rabid dogs at all cost

In the USA, violent groups are treated as a law enforcement problem, unless direct police violence is necessary to prevent them from harming someone. Extremists who commit local crimes are arrested and prosecuted, and afforded all of the normal protections of the legal system.

For example, the Oklahoma City bombers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were tried and sentenced to death and life imprisonment, respectively. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing

There is a chance domestic terrorists could be let off based on prosecutorial incompetence or sympathy, jurors’ personal beliefs, or a future executive pardon, but going through a legal process is much better than extrajudicial assassination.

The US government has plenty of skeletons in its closet, but there is nothing in its recent history close to the annihilation of Grozny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grozny_(1999–2000)

In the context of science, this statement is a very dangerous one to make. There's many many many many things that people thought were "reasonable and rational conclusions" that turned out to be completely wrong after some actual rational experimentation and application of the scientific method.
Water should be priced the same for everyone, there's no reason that alfalfa farmers should pay a hundredth of a percent that I do for the same resource.
> Everyone wants the government to "simply" violate property rights...

It's a lot simpler when you don't believe that water is something private individuals have a right to hoard. Imo, water is a natural resource we all have some minimum access to as humans, regardless of if someone wants to buy it up and sell at a higher price later
I also believe the "humans did it" explanation. Does it easily cover every single crop circle easily? Maybe not. But I have kept an open mind and for ever single reason someone gives for it being non-human in origin there is someone who explains it away as human/environmental in origin. For me, I don't feel that crop circles are that impressive and for all the fake crop circles that are done it makes it harder to take them seriously.

They're really not. A Dewalt sawzall is a common catalytic converter theft tool. They're not super expensive, and tools are also commonly stolen items.

where can you see homeless camps? they're all over the place. Down Folsom Blvd towards Sac State, the W/X freeway, all over the interchange, right off the 15th St exist into downtown, a few of them along Broadway down towards 99, etc. Those are just ones that I drive by on a regular basis.

It's really bad up along Roseville Rd towards the city dump too. so many RVs and homemade structures.

Up towards the Blue Diamond plant too, and a whole bunch of camps down along and under 160. It's almost unsafe to ride a bicycle across the C st bridge because of all of the camps that are in the parks along the American River. There's also a ton of RVs across 160 from Costco too.

The genesis is arguably a 32 bit console as well. The genesis has only a 16 bit bus to memory, but the GBA has only a 16 bit bus to it's cart and most RAM as well, leaving only on die RAM and MMIO with 32 bit bus accesses.

Additionally, it's GPU is very much derived from the NES->SNES family of PPUs. VRAM can be used as a LFB, but it's generally not the best use of the system.

I'd argue it's about halfway between a stock SNES/Genesis and an SNES/Genesis with a cart addon chip like an SVP or Super FX.

Not if people living in 'reasonable' properties are not taxed much at all. If a family lives in a 100sqm house, probably should be nothing additional. If they live in 2000sqm mansion, they probably can afford a decent sized tax.

Of course size is not the only factor, which makes it complicated. Land or property value is probably a good proxy. If you house is >$1M it probably means you are wealthy.

Now you get one of two things in each individual case: Either people downsizing (good, frees up property for other people) or people paying tax (good for society).

If only people understood this concept. In my home town city council are bickering about whether to allow additional density to be build on already commercially zoned lots based on whether they force 10 or 12% if the units to be “affordable.”

They are bickering over whether 40 units of a building might have a net decreased rent of $200 a month and instead may get 0 units built instead of 400. The 400 units would likely reduce the rent in the area by more than $200.

I think market pressures make this a difficult fit in the workplace. High turnover (~2yrs) and larger systems encourage shorter term results with a shallower understanding.

This isn’t a criticism (I have so so much to learn still, I’m in no position to judge, nor do I want to be), but more of an observation. Balancing learning churn(frameworks/languages) vs fundamentals(theory, concepts) is a struggle I think I will have for the rest of my life.

Because academics and primary consumers of these studies understand their uses and limitations. Not all science has to be groundbreaking new discoveries, simply trying to replicate an existing study or exact same methodology on different cohort is perfectly fine.

The problem is when it gets printed in mainstream press who sensationalize and then posted to reddit/hn where people go 'duh this is obvious, this is a dumb thing to study', 'sample too small', 'not controlling for income/confounding'.

I really don't think that clichéd metaphor about democracy provides much insight into the merits of that political system. If your society consists of two wolves and a lamb, then the lunch menu is predictable regardless of the system in place. Equally:

> Unlike a real piece of art you don’t actually own anything

What is it that you actually own when you buy a physical art piece? Is it the actual canvas and the paint on top? If so then that is definitely not worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on its own. Or, more likely, is it the fact that you own the original, and that the artists could never make an exact replica, unlike with NFTs? Even though you can make an exact replica with NFTs, everybody agrees on the original, and therefore the exact replica has no value. With art you could make a near perfect replica, but everybody would still agree upon the original, and therefore the original is the one with real value. IMO NFTs and physical art are still very similar.

> I am curious why a p value threshold (alpha) of 0.1 was used, rather than the more typical 0.05.

I believe p thresholds higher than 0.05 are frequently used in social sciences simply because the phenomena are so complex that you would never get anything significant with a lower p threshold.

Of course, that's not a real argument: you should pick the p threshold not based on what you think you can achieve, but based on the consequences of the decision you'll drive with the result.

In this case, the authors might not think the consequences of getting software development practises wrong is that impactful, because the humans in the loop will prevent real disaster no matter what methodology you use.
