More to the point why would you go on TV and say “it’s their decision” when someone says they have already made a decision. If someone said this to you about a decision you’d made and communicated clearly what would you think.

she was asked flat out if she supports the president - the sitting president! - for reelection, and did not answer with “yes.” Any answer other than “yes” is a giant red flag. Come on! Aren’t you a media critic?

Not sure it’s a freak out when 3/4 of the voting public thinks he’s not mentally fit to be president now, let alone four years from now.

The press has tried for nine years to make this case and what’s plainly obvious is that Trump voters don’t care. Biden’s age is not going to stop being an issue when only 27% of voters think he’s mentally fit enough to be the president right now.

All of this stuff is trivially easy to check whether the output is correct or not, and correct it if it isn’t. All of it saves me time. “Blissfully unaware” go touch some grass.

Clearly you haven’t used it! You should try it instead of looking at cherry picked bad inputs in social media feeds. Also a lot of questions *don’t need 100% accuracy* they need to be better than the alternative which is a website or twenty minutes of research.

Yes, my point is that’s a very fixable problem. We shouldn’t let “permitting is difficult” stop us from actually trying to make people’s lives better.

Great let’s say you want to change the average and see how the numbers change. Websites, if they exist to solve this problem, largely don’t have the capacity to do this. I am not going to build an Excel model every time I want to calculate something. You should stop being so fucking smug

I think the point is that Democrats should hold themselves to a higher standard than republicans. 27% of voters think Biden has the mental fitness to be the president now, let alone four years from now.

I only need to do that at the end and I can also sanity check as I go along against how much I pay for my bill. If you’re that skeptical of it you’re missing out on like a huge amount of potential for these things to be useful and help people.

Because the screenshot is the end output of probably 10 different revisions to the model with different assumptions about the inputs, and my time is also important. DC’s - all uses - about 4% of US total power IIRC and if the issue is electricity we should just build more electricity production.

It’s trivial to verify whether the AI is generating the correct answer so yeah I have no problems. And “now sell for less” is not true for the cars we are looking at. You should try being less smug.

“You’re being unfair” I actually emailed the Santa Barbara City Council about this because I was so baffled by it and they said they’d love to put more shops on the pier but the Coastal Commission won’t let them.

Old Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, rehabbed for retail in 1969, vs. Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara, which opened for retail in 1981 (after the Coastal Commission, which must approve coastal land use, and loves car parking, was formed).

I do not think there is price fixing in the cereal market, where the customer is spoiled with so many different options that Soviets used to wax poetic about it. I agree there are cases where we should not leave things to the free market but cereal is not one of them.

Like most businesses in the US they had rising profits as consumers spent $1 trillion in stimulus money. They then raised prices and made the box bigger, consumers bought less as as result, and the stock price fell. Would this situation have been better if the FTC tried to regulate the box size?

People answered “Yes” when a small business lender who polls about news topics as a PR strategy asked “Are you concerned about X,” wow, amazing. This is much more convincing and again I don’t see the problem here. They messed with the box, people didn’t buy as much. Why should the FTC get involved

I am… not arguing that. I am saying that this is pretty benign and not evidence that General Mills is the second coming of Soylent Green.
