Yes but occasional reminders of how many in our country are emphatically on board with this (not all bots!) seems useful for perspective. This here is the happier place, and more useful professionally, but also a bit of an echo chamber for academics/liberals.

And they must have known that the numbers wouldn't be presented for what they are, but as tariffs. The gaslighting is working, as one can see on X. Trumpworld is impressed with Trump's magnanimity for imposing "only half" of others' "tariffs" on the US.

Just like that, huh 🤔 Still, the paper's intro sounds like the logic is partly Coasian dynamics, PLUS competitive pressure. Is there a model for this?

Sorry what does "theoretical eq price" mean? And is the experiment some version of the Coase conjecture?

By "paradox" the author means Sutton (1991): greater competition => greater concentration. Okay. But you don't often hear people argue that the airline industry would be a better place if we brought the Civil Aeronautics Board back... www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"Youth degenerates," lol. In Rebel without a cause (1955), the cliff drive is called a "Chickie run"

I haven't reviewed all cases raised. Some seemed mere sloppy, but others deceptive. Lifting consecutive sentence fragments from others is never an accident. Maybe nothing rises to the level of disciplinary action, but for the leader of the world's most elite institution it's a lack of integrity.

No reason to paper over anything. She was attacked because she is a Black woman, yes, but the hateful motives don't make the charges baseless. W/o the plagiarism, the pressure to resign wouldn't have been half as strong, and wouldn't have been taken up by MS media.

I understand the outrage, but Rufo et al. had an easy win precisely because the accusations had legs. Dr. Gay failed to show leadership when it mattered, and her work is littered with what we tell our students you can't do, ever, ever. It's been painful to watch academics "contextualize" plagiarism.

God I hate these scales. In what world are only top-20% students (esp. in my pool of people) "good" students?

📉📈 Now this is what I call a focused corporate strategy

Wer für heute noch kein St-Martins-Lied hat, das hier haben wir früher in Mülheim an der Ruhr gesungen (ohne klare Vorstellung von der Bedeutung):
Ssinter Mätes Vögelsche,
heet soan roat Kapögelsche,
cheflooge, chestoowe;
wiit, wiit öwer dä Rhin,
wo de fette Färkee sinn.

Do 3 and 4 largely follow from 1?

I'm sensing incentives to game this experiment

You had 70-80 kids at your door? Wow

Paid off Fortune's artist too

Devastating news today. We've lost a wonderful human and a brilliant mind. www.rochesterfirst.com/rochester/rp...

Chicago loop?

was hat er gesagt?

Bleibt lieber bei Kurt Cobain

Ah, sorry

Looks like our library (U of Rochester) has one, others probably too. Try inter-library loan. Original is Italian not French?

What do you mean by vacuum? If you're saying that terrorists always think they have a reason, that's probably correct. The most abstract motivation I can think of is the 1970s Rote Armee Fraktion, whose grievance/target was capitalism itself.

Our dear friend and colleague Heikki Rantakari is still missing. Hoping that someone in #Rochester has info that can help find him soon.

Love this intro from Samuelson (1946), in which he translates a very applied question from Stigler (1945)---How did the cost of a nutritionally adequate diet change over the war years?, published in the J of Farm Economics---into a "wicked" linear-programming problem.

This hits home re faculty recruiting. JMCs from schools whose program and faculty we know have an info precision advantage. Not sure how well the suggested solutions would work. This is also why I try to ignore profs promoting their JMCs on social media, and stick with packets in standard format.
