The economic indicators we so often look at - jobs report, price index, etc., - are there legitimate complaints to be had about them? Given data availability, could the methods be better?

I don't like the idea of term limits. It's not like we have a surplus of competent and honest people who are wanting to be politicians, so being forced to lose one when we find them is not great, and I don't see how having new people to take on the roles all the time is automatically beneficial.

Researchers have been using methods like machine learning and so on for many years, as they should. The things that are now, by social construction, getting the "AI" label, are pretty much just the dog shit part. Though I admit that that is all getting into varied individual definitions.

Widespread access would be great, but why do so many have the expectation that the producers of news should also be the subsidizers of its production? It's like saying everyone should have access to free healthcare (and they should), and that it should be paid for by the hospitals themselves.

Also remarkable because Musk, in his usual spirit of wanton destruction with the belief that that is magically somehow automatically beneficial, has turned that power and spotlight on Trump, and ultimately himself.

It's not that it is being said, it's who's saying it.

Always "surprised that Biden didn't" end the contracts ... and yet he himself also did not end the contracts, which is unsurprising because? And now he might do so because which thing changed? Just so we're clear..

"they don't give us any credit for the extraordinary economic growth that will be spurred along by this bill" In other words, "they didn't modify the results to reflect our (utterly insane) belief that this is good policy" That is not a difference in methodology, it's a difference in faith.

Is his cabinet .. holding a contest to see who can be the most like a Batman villain? I'm just now realizing this and it explains so much!

I truly wish we were all allowed one 10x "like" every day, and today this is where I would spend it.

I'm definitely no fan, but the reason he appears in the article is literally because his album is #1 on the charts.

I got there, but it wasn't very elegant. I must be missing a trick to it? I tried: let m = 2^r => 2^s = 2^(2-r) = 4/m (by r + s = 2) and 4^r = 2^(2r) = m^2 and 4^s = (2^s)^2 = (4/m)^2 so 2^r + 2^s = 6 => m + 4/m = 6 => m = 3 +/- sqrt(5) and I just plugged that into m^2 + (4/m)^2 = x
