Senator Murkowski no longer faces a Republican primary in 2022. Thanks to @Alaskans4ABE , there will be a non-partisan primary and ranked choice voting general election –– where an independent candidate no longer will be seen as a "spoiler." Incentives matter. Reform matters.

@adamkraftlol @pasports31 They have a game-theory model: as long as we stay slightly left of the Republican candidate, then we can get all of the votes from the center AND the left. Their model doesn't reflect reality, and they aren't ready to admit that.

@3blue1brown Without specific knowledge, just assign your priors. In this case, we know PI is uniform, so our prior is 0.5. "0 or 1 but I don't know" is not a probability. The whole point of a probability is to quantity your uncertainty.

@HazmatRcAdams @Exodor @schwarz Stocks represent ownership in a company and they return dividends. The value of a stock is part speculation, sure. But it is speculation on the performance of a profit-making company. Crypto value is pure scarcity speculation. It has no other underlying value.
