@acoyne I'm curious about the psychology of someone who tweets a question that could easily be resolved by Google/GPT in under a minute. No moral judgment -- just seems so inefficient.

@ericmicheels Does Jame$ teach decision trees in OM?

Okay, so

*Texans pick up 13 yards on 3rd and 15
*Browns called for offsides
*Texans can choose between 4th and 2 or 3rd and 10
*They choose 4th and 2
*They then punt the ball away

The Kevin Stefanski reaction is amazing

This: "getting a PhD is probably the most inefficient way to understand a topic, and a person seeking that credential has shown that they don’t understand that."

If only there was a group of people that believed in allocating scarce resources to maximize global welfare.

Remind me again why it's more important to vaccinate young, healthy Canadians instead of giving our doses to those who would benefit much more? https://t.co/EZdCPLe8Y5

[Peter Slade @PeteSlade]

Statement 1: COVID is a global problem that does not respect national borders.
Statement 2: We are all in this together.
Apparent corollary: Let's celebrate double-dosing healthy people in our country before vulnerable people in other countries.

@FoodProfessor Why name it "butt'r"? A) Very aesthetically unappealing. B) Unlike "milk", "butter" has not (in my lifetime) been applied exclusively to dairy -- so there shouldn't be any labeling concerns.

@agecprof While money is pretty fungible, I suggest tailoring the lottery prize to appeal to the vaccine-hesitant. Maybe something like free human micro-chipping in an abortion clinic sponsored by the Gates foundation?

@marcfbellemare @leahbevis Great advice! Is the final statement a Straussian argument against biblical literalism? https://t.co/5O4TO5i4gF

@ericmicheels @Agridome I believe I read it was just the R1, but I could be wrong...

[Peter Slade @PeteSlade]

@ericmicheels @Agridome I wonder if Carolina's offer was better than the Rams. An eighth overall pick might be about equivalent to two late first-rounders and a third-rounder -- particularly with this QB class. How you see the deal might hinge on how you see Goff (I see him as a net negative).

It’s a really complicated ethical dilemma, but ultimately I’m afraid Trump has been made into a digital martyr for free speech and this will produce many, many negative consequences going forward.

@TheyAreThandrie Why? Offense can decline the penalty. Pats either didn't want to or didn't think fast enough.

@MaxZYShang Cool! Where did the chart come from?

Why the hate for this? Seems pretty reasonable #ScheerSanity

“We've called on the government to do is have a more progressive approach to the CERB and have a gradual type of reduction of the benefit so that it's always better off for Canadians to work,” said Conservative Leader @AndrewScheer.

@glenweyl @davidrkadler Isn't the goal of post-capitalism to make us all white men in wealthy countries with lots of free time?

@mikevonmassow Pretty intuitive result. Holding the # of veg meals constant, more omnivores will choose them if they are not in a separate section. Same thing is true for non-dairy milk @ the grocery store - it sells better in the dairy aisle than in a separate “vegan” section.
