I read it as “get baked”, which also works. Or so I am told.

Have you ever read Peter Medawar? His books are mostly out of print now, but his treatment of bad ideas was beautifully savage. Check out the first essay here: archive.org/details/stra...

Even the cooking is optional. A picnic from the deli shines.

I didn't intend to do either. Kathryn took my meaning.

I mean, *obviously* taking two baths in 100 degree water is *exactly* the same as taking one in 40 degrees and another in 160 degrees. Why can't everybody be rational like me?

Investors absolutely do not make decisions based *solely* on rational calculations of expected value. The first moment is not the distribution.

000

I never considered myself a Stancil hater but I'm beginning to understand them. You are insisting on a highly restrictive definition of "rational" that is itself detached from reality. And being a dick about it.

You're conflating expectation with rationality, but they are not the same thing. Other measures, such as worst-case outcome, are equally defensible and equally rational.

Networks do not have, and do not require, FCC licenses. Only individual broadcast stations are licensed.

The LA/Orange Thomas Guide was a thing of beauty. If I still had mine I'd put it on the coffee table.

Perhaps a DIFFERENT THING has HAPPENED.

OK, a shocking confession. As a math master's student at SMU in 79/80, I was instructor (not TA) for a required math course for non-science majors that I myself had never taken. It's a great relief to finally unburden myself of the guilt.

From unknown to blocked in two skeets Great work.

The government's ability to regulate speech even under those circumstances is extremely circumscribed. It cannot, for example, require a license holder to "tell the truth" or "give equal time", among other popular misconceptions.

Aaaaand back to the nihilist bullshit. See ya.

On the contrary, I hold two active FCC licenses and have held at least three others in the past. I happily submit to the legitimate regulatory authority of the FCC. Regulating speech of cable news is not within that legitimate authority. It's a settled matter of law.

"I’m saying the FCC needs to be updated to encompass more than the declining terrestrial broadcast services..." That is flatly prohibited by the First Amendment. If you think otherwise, then we're definitely fighting :-).

So... the Trump administration disregards the Constitution. Therefore, we should give the Federal government the power to regulate speech and the press, in violation of the First Amendment. Brilliant. Is that you, Chief Justice Roberts?

Do you understand the fundamental physical difference between transmitting a signal over the public airwaves and transmitting it over a non-radiating medium like coaxial or fiber optic cable?

It's not a rule. It's the First Amendment.

It's not the law. It's the First Amendment.
