And this is what happens when you ask questions about it in their seminar.
When he was done I clapped and he gave me the finger and told me to go fuck myself or something with a heavy French accent and ran off somewhere.

This is exactly what it’s like when macro theorists use Big Math to solve a hard problem.
The best performance of Rachmaninoff op 23 no 5 I've ever heard was on an out-of-tune public piano at the Marseille train station. Some scraggy dude hammered the piece out, missed like half the notes, moaned loadly every now and then, and added like a 5 minute improvised coda.

Say what you will about Elon, but at least he knows cooperative GT is alive and well.
One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts. Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people.

I don't normally fancy myself an empiricist, but I would be fascinated to see detailed demand data on this one.

Overinterpreting, I wonder whether this easy observation is relevant to polisci. Something something Duverger's law something something median voter something something mean voter being relevant to welfare.

The simple proof of this is fun. It shows the biggest distance between mean and median (holding variance fixed) you can generate is with a 50/50 two-point distribution.
A surprising & little-known results in classical statistics:. Mean (μ) and median (m) are within one std deviation:. |μ−m| ≤ σ. For unimodal densities, bound is even tighter. |μ−m| ≤ 0.7746 σ. This beautiful results first appeared in a 1932 paper by Hotelling & Solomons. 1/3

This is scandalously underappreciated.

ChatGPT can neither prove my conjecture nor provide a counterexample, but it so cheerfully agrees to do whichever one I ask it to do.
