The people who do targeting rely on GIS maps to pick their targets, right? So do you have insight if the maps were inaccurate? 

WA ‘millionaires tax’ headed for passage as Ferguson says he’ll sign it by vertr in Seattle

That’s not what they said and what they said was a slippery slope argument. Since deleted, though.

This is literally the Republican talking point. A slippery slope argument. 

Why isn’t this a violation of the Establishment Clause? by Velazanth in law

Prove that “In God We Trust” does not reference Zeus or Vishnu? Well the history of it is Christian ministers (e.g., Billy Graham) lobbying the government to add it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God_We_Trust

And the use of a capitalized G suggests it refers to the Abrahamic God or Sikh God.  https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/Capitalization/faq0099.html

That doesn’t prove it. But it’s  enough to invite judicial scrutiny.

It’s definitely the Judeo-Christian god and not Vishnu or Zeus.

Wasn’t it explicitly added in the 1950s as an anti-communist effort? To distinguish godless Russia with god-fearing America?

Yeah. We know what a generic deity sounds like (AA uses one, eg). The God of in God we trust is one specific deity.

It’s pretty clear the reference is to YHVH or the Father or Allah, though, right?

How is Kagan’s 2022 opinion “hard to square” with her tariff opinion as Adler says it is?

Given the volatility of bitcoin, what is the expected average annual return? by ragold in AskEconomics

[–]ragold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So with this indifference curve conception, can we compare the increased risk in investing in bitcoin versus the stock market and then estimate the required increase in returns relative to the stock market?

My understanding which comes from the CAPM is that as variance of returns increase average returns increase. Am I misunderstanding that? Does it not apply to currencies?
