But you are right that dividends are irrelevant since they remove that value from the stock, so there’s no good rational reason to prefer dividend stocks over non-dividend stocks. In fact, it’s often worse due to the tax implications of dividends vs capital gains.

Ben Felix has an episode on this! m.youtube.com/watch?v=f5j9...

IIRC, some people argue that paying dividends forces companies to be more fiscally disciplined, since they have to cough up cash every now and then.

I don’t like that meme format but in this case it’s a pretty good fit

I remember that a few years ago we voted on a motion to hold the conference outside of the US, specifically in either Canada or Mexico, and the motion passed — that’s how we got CVPR in Vancouver. But I can’t find this motion online or in my emails.

We should make review load proportional to the number of submissions; hyper productive authors can surely also be hyper productive reviewers

This did get published at ICLR on 2014 and won the test of the time award last year.

For context, ICLR is a conference but conferences are the top venues in computer science.

What do you mean there would be no point? You can play stockfish 14 on lichess today in 960 and it would beat any top human player, it wouldn’t be even close
