is this a huge pile of garbage or has my NI imploded?

I dont understand the comment. Is this a question?

long-term they should all be open, containerized, in a public repo...this is a fantastic opportunity for a Windows step-up in hardware requirements and M$ is not seeing it

> and my teeth are fine

says the dentist? or says you?

after a check-up i was strongly recommended to stop taking soft drinks...no symptoms whatsoever but the teeth are weakening

My dentist, annual consultation.

I have shitty memory and never confused those... something else is amiss here

> high economic growth is largely caused by low government spending

not true...anybody with such simplistic economic opinions should really just do an 101 on economics

leaving your country? to go where? and once your there, what are you gonna do?

Stuff like this is why I always read to the bottom of the comments.

People on HN are really something.

bots? or "engineer's disease" writ large? you be the judge

so? it’s open source you can reproduce the research findings. i did the research so don’t claim i don’t know the subject

Did you ask an ai to critique? Gemini have some points that weren't addressed in the post (which I barely skimmed), here's the summary of summary of summary:

Omitted Variable Bias: Conflates development stage with state size. Developing nations have small governments and high catch-up growth; mature economies have large safety nets and slower frontier growth.

Bad Extrapolation: The power-law model predicts ~36% growth at 0% spending. In reality, 0% spending means a failed state with no property rights or rule of law.

Lacks Basic Controls: Ignores panel fixed effects, reverse causality (Wagner's Law), and bundles productive infrastructure with welfare transfers.

it’s addressed in the artixle but probably gemini has not large enough context windown the article is pretty long (30min read)

The title in the post is:

230 km/h and only traffic tickets? What gives?

in US's Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina only

Netanjahu happy now

because the consequences of losing a war are not trivial...russia knows that indeed

Not trivial for Putin, but I think Russia would be in a period of huge turmoil for a while, but continue to exist just fine.
