Not everything sucks! If you need power today, you build solar. Cheap Chinese solar panels should just be embraced. Because they’re a product, not a commodity no real dependencies are created.

They largely want the studios & sports and don’t care about the news org. In fact, they would love it gone. Why? Because rich men, especially tech men, think they deserve no criticism and also need constant fluffing. They value a mirrortocracy over a meritocracy and welcome a mediocrity.

Have you, or your favorite expert, ever uttered the phrase
“Polls underestimated Trump”?
That phrase is the scientific equivalent of
“Mercury’s orbit just stopped and changed direction”
The analysis relies on an invalid frame of reference.

Correcting the currently accepted answer to this simple question will change the field of statistics:
Given a poll of
Candidate A: 46%
Candidate B: 44%
Undecided: 10%
Result:
Candidate A: 49%
Candidate B: 51%
How much error did the poll have?

Goldman Sachs, Jan 21: "Despite Trump’s comments that the 25% tariff will be implemented in 10 days, we continue to believe the odds of a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico are low (20%)." Why have analysts been caught so flat-footed by Trump doing *exactly what he said he would*?
