Right? As I was reading GP, all I could think is that there are a million other instances of an issue having two interested but opposed parties, one being larger than the other, and in advanced pluralistic democracies, we generally find ways to balance the two interests that don’t involve completely hosing one party. I recognize that the Electoral College was developed in a context where people were very concerned about tyranny of the majority, but it’s a drastic solution to a not altogether exceptional problem.

It’s unfortunate that it’s third party, but conda has the unquestionable advantage of being the only Python-centric packaging system that has a reasonable shared binary library story

I guess you'd have to see historical margins to make any sort of reasonable projections, but I think GP is saying that they've so increased their unit margin on the ride-hailing to near zero that it's dishonest to say they're running it a massive loss and have no route to profitability.

I live in lower Manhattan, and there have been many shootings within a mile of me in the past year, even a few within two blocks of me, but because the per-capita numbers are so low, I'm pretty unconcerned about being shot, and so it doesn't really bother that I'm near the shootings. I don't really see how standardizing by (people * area) does you any good in capturing public safety, or even perceived public safety

I’m not aware of any evidence that that’s actually the motivation behind preventing deflation. Just about every economist will tell you that deflation is undesirable because it incentives hoarding accumulated currency rather than investing it in productive capital because of the decreasing value of production relative to currency.

Why was upkeep that expensive? Would you be maintaining the entire estate as a perfectly manicured garden?

If anything, the "best and brightest" folks in Hertz management who drafted the policies that both the phone assistant and the person behind the counter had to try to navigate (and who both acknowledged the policies they were struggling against were dumb) are the ones who failed big time here, not the every men that GP is insulting.

In what sense was Martin "doing the right thing" by hoarding documents seemingly for its own sake/to satisfy some tick? I don't think it's fair to the others you listed to lump Martin in with them.

What would the power law effect look like here? 0.1% of branded retweets being worth $20,000?

Can you expand on point 4? Conda-forge releases perfectly fine tensorflow-gpu builds, with the caveat that they don’t ship stubs or the actual NVIDIA driver with them so it’s not truly standalone, but the same can be said of pytorch or really any GPU-enabled package.

It shouldn't bother you if you have a long investment horizon, like the average retail trader.

If you're a market maker or broker, it is illegal for you or any part of your firm that you have informed to front run client orders, plain and simple.

Well, the Javits Center is still standing
