Stats protip -- probability theory becomes a lot less mysterious and arcane if you separate out the theory (i.e. the axiomatic mathematical structure) from the philosophy (i.e. how the mathematical structure is applied to model actual systems).

I can not stress enough this point: Literally every last person in the United States who complains about how “crowded” our cities are, is talking about cars. America is not crowded, anywhere. Half the land in our cities is four-lane roads and parking lots!!!!!!!!!

Chipotle: 26% profit increase. Raising prices. Starbucks: 31% profit increase. Raising prices. McDonalds: 59% profit increase. Raising prices. Shell/Mobile/BP: 60% profit increase. Raising prices. There's not a labor shortage. This isn't inflation. It is 100% corporate greed.

There was a truly misguided and factually incorrect Wall Street Journal article yesterday claiming we should *accelerate* the spread of omicron. The authors fundamentally misunderstand the evolution of infectious diseases in a way I think many talking heads share. A 🧵
This article is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read and for the WSJ Opinion Page, that’s some rarefied bullshit air to breathe. Let’s start with the authors’ facile, incorrect understanding of how variants evolve.
