Reply to comment by TheNightIsLost in TIL: Zhu Youcheng is the only emperor in Chinese history, to be married to one wife and remain faithful to her, having no concubines. He was a hardworking emperor, lowering taxes, reducing spending, and demonstrating tolerance for Muslims. His son, however, had a haram so large, some starved. by Flares117

Killing hundreds of thousands of people and conquering lands doesn't make you a good ruler, especially if you can't keep the empire together afterwards.

He's great the way genghis khan is great. A world historic militarty leader. but a great emperor he was not

Reply to comment by schrodingers_pp in [OC] Results of 50,000 World Cup Knockout Simulations by mathsTeacher82

there's a pretty accurate simulation site they use for Starcraft called aligulac that I found predicts tournaments better than humans all the time. The thing is, these are individual players with many games being played against each other. Most of the players in the world cup spend most of their games in different teams, so the dataset of games in their WC arrangement is too small to make accurate predictions from.

Reply to comment by niknah in [OC] Housing has become increasingly unaffordable in Singapore, more so than in other high-cost cities by earthlymonarch

average salaries is a very distorting metric, particularly in high cost cities that house many of the ultra rich. I live in NYC and 6.1k/mo after tax is not an average salary here (thats like 120k annual pre tax). If you look at the median income in most neighborhoods, youll find that outside of a few strips of manhattan and the prospect park area, its somewhere between 35-70k.
