I think it'd be more good faith if you referred more to the actions of people in the organization (e.g. who allotted or drove "millions of dollars" in agent usage?) than "the model" in describing what happens.

Wouldn't it be more clear to say that for hiring approach, now the unexpected burden of tagging on a new 100k fee works as a negative coloring (as it I think intends (ostensibly)) to these candidates then? How was the 100k already priced in?

"It just means that there’s a lot of low-quality stuff under the same label, which has made that label questionable, and if you want to sift through it you have to be ready to filter for quality yourself... At some level GA is trying to “democratize” geometry."
Hit me just now reading the case against GA linked in this thread, maybe the same way Munger remarks on Costco's counter-intuitive membership fee, the notation and systems of "real" math as we encounter them like you say in Wikipedia is the field's membership fee keeping out the riff-raff from overwhelming the gathering place and making the entire store burn down.
"But the point is to make the existing math more intuitive, not to discover new results. The fact that research mathematics is generally not concerned with making calculation and intuition easier to think about is, I think, a giant failure that it will eventually regret. There’s as much value in making things easy to use as there is in discovering them."

Is there a direct relation or something specific you were going to draw in mentioning the history of the Jews in England and the history and particularities of the City of London? That the Jews performed the interest loans on behalf of and/or within the City of London possibly or something like that?

To this day, not one person in the spec reviews in whatever overseas OEM electronics or those split AC units (which are fantastic in one regard) reflects on persistent light in a room where people are sleeping? The worst is encountering AC units when arriving at a hotel that do not have a "display" button to turn off the 20C display in white LED. Are the actual people that make these and make those decisions just tougher or they're just ignorant?

Re:Someone Has to Run the Fabs

That's a convenient tidbit put forth by who. Reject the premise that "replicating it" requires emphasizing this factor over others. If the true owners of Taiwanese fabs simply took less of the surplus share, the fab could be replicated here by spending more on American workers.

Lol why do you think these moves are about improvement of the process? Like its said they have a fiduciary duty to squeeze profit out of their moves. Improvement of the experience for the customer is at least orthogonal to that.
