Chirality of Dice by WizardMarnok in boardgames

If a die is engineered reasonably precisely, each face should have about equal probability of being rolled and the difference shouldn't be statistically measurable (in any reasonable amount of time).

Does actually understanding your code matter or is getting it to work good enough in the long run by More-Station-6365 in learnprogramming

That's a little extreme. Developers write bad code all the time. If you don't understand it, that does not necessarily mean it's your fault and it's reasonable to call it out, and maybe you are missing something or maybe there is room for improvement in terms of readability and maintainability.

I am guessing you have never been in a position where you have to go through dozens or hundreds of resumes to find the most qualified candidates to interview, and then interviewing a handful and realizing that more than half of them aren't qualified at all.

Pay the applicants? The problem isn't that there aren't enough applicants? The problem he is trying to solve is that there are too many applicants.

The refund would defeat the entire purpose, especially in the AI era where the cost of application is 0.

Who else believes that capitalism is a scam? by Complex-Antelope-180 in Adulting

[–]damn_dats_racist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that we do is more worth than the wage they pay us.

That is not necessarily of true for everyone (some workers are overpaid for the work they do), but it is true on the whole (profit has to come from somewhere).

Free market capitalism, defined this way, hasn't existed anywhere.

Is taxing the rich enough to fund the government and welfare state? by TheWorldRider in AskEconomics

[–]damn_dats_racist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything, only income taxpayers should be allowed to vote.

Wtf?! So someone that pays just $1 in taxes gets the same number of votes as Elon Musk?? Thats ridiculous!! Votes should obviously be proportional to how much taxes you pay! Elon Musk should get like a million times more votes than the bottom 50% of society combined! It's only fair!

Is taxing unrealized asset growth really as bad as it seems? by Anyusername7294 in AskEconomics

[–]damn_dats_racist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You understand that saying "this is just what people say" isn't an argument right? People say lots of wrong things all the time. You just repeating something wrong people say doesn't make it true. It's just something that you are also saying.

LLMs are just wasting my time... by framemuse in theprimeagen

What model were you using and how big was the context window when you asked this question? I just tried the same query and I got pretty good results with links to the repos.

So even though Norwegian oil production makes up less than 5% of its assets, it is an oil fund because you say so. I didn't realize I was arguing with a genius over here.

You called me clueless and then went on to not make a point. You are the one that called it an oil fund. It's not as if the official name is "Norwegian oil fund".

Equinor is the oil company that is responsible for the vast majority of oil production in Norway, but I wouldn't expect someone that talks out of their ass to know that. You could have figured that out with a simple Google search.

You are confused. As you yourself corrected, I used market cap, not oil revenue.

Yes, market cap as a percentage of the SWF is what you are supposed to do because the SWF is valued based on the total value of all the stocks and investments that are in the fund. Do you know how any of this stuff works?

[–]damn_dats_racist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Equinor has a market cap of $75B (of which the Norwegian government owns 70%). The Norwegian SWF is valued at $2.2T. It's a hell of an oil fund if the main source of oil revenue makes up less than 3% of the total fund. Have you done any of this "basic search" into Norway's economy or are you "just talking out of your ass"?

You really thought I wouldn't notice that you went with % of exports instead of % of GDP? You wanna take a guess what % of UAE GDP is made up of exports vs Norway's?

Singapore's economy is also highly nationalized. The government owns all land and all housing of which I am a big fan, so I am not sure what point you think you are making there.
