In the early-2000s, a team cracked the Roulette Wheel game. The game is supposed to be completely random but the Wheel develops flaws over time (grooves, knicks) which make it predictable. One Roulette hustler read a wheel so well, he turned ~£1000 into £1,000,000 in one night.

And China loses another number… On Weibo, you can look up 2951. Searching for 2953 is also no problem. But 2952? “According to the relevant laws, regulations and policies, the page is not found.” Xi was confirmed for 3rd term as President with 2952 votes for, none against

This graph from the ABC on interest rates on savings accounts is brilliant. Relative to the historical spread between the cash rate and savings interest rates, Aussies are being shafted out of billions of dollars a year. abc.net.au/news/2023-02-2…

@hellenomania @LaurenBeldi You do realise that hybrid work is a thing now, yes? Many more people are staying home for at least part of the working week, hence fewer visits to the CBD even with COVID restrictions lifted. If you can't see that, then god help you.

@ThatManulTheCat The Chinese system is carrying massive debt, a catastrophic demographic problem, no international allies, highly import dependent and an absurd Covid-zero policy that has just locked another city of 20+ million indoors. US decline (let’s watch 2024 first) ≠ Chinese rise.
