Ninguém me perguntou, mas a minha torcida para o Nobel de Economia é para a Anne Krueger
Ela merece muito e, em tempos de protecionismo, seria ótimo que ela tivesse recebesse o reconhecimento

Alguém escreveu que é mais fácil oferecer tarifa zero do que transporte público de qualidade.

My test of any new AI video model is whether it can make an otter using wifi on an airplane

Here is Sora 2 doing a nature documentary... 1980s music video... a thriller... 50s low budget SciFi film... a safety video.. a film noir... anime... 90s video game cutscene... a French arthouse film

Muito obrigado! ótimo fio. Não li um o estudo ainda, então vou abusar e perguntar para você: os autores consideraram a possibilidade de que o setembro amarelo diminua o subregistro de suicídios? A redução do estigma geraria o mesmo efeito

There are only 41,000 coal miners in the United States. By way of comparison, there are 100,000 **registered** yoga teachers, 361,000 Starbucks baristas and 265,000 faculty and staff members working for the University of California system alone.

Met museum photo of an ancient Egyptian rectangular wooden white-washed writing board with an exercise written in black hieratic script. It was written by a student named Iny-su whose spelling mistakes are corrected in red ink by the teacher. Hieratic script is an ancient Egyptian cursive version of hieroglyphics. The board measures 19 cm long x  43 cm wide and has a horizontal crack half way down the left-hand side. The wooden board was painted with white gesso, which now appears cream-coloured. This allowed boards to be whitewashed for use over and again.

The exercise is a practice in formal letter writing. The student Iny-su addresses the letter (presumably jokingly) to his brother Peh-ny-su, treating him like a wealthy authority figure. Wood, gesso, paint pigment. Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 12, c. 1981–1802 BC.

#OPINIÃO

📝 Deborah Bizarria | Fechar a porta para quem inova deixa os EUA para trás. Na corrida global por talentos, transformar visto em pedágio é entregar vantagem aos rivais; medida encarece a inovação e troca ganho político imediato por perda econômica duradoura.

Graph of unconditional convergence rates in US manufacturing by decade.

Economic historians have long debated whether lagging regions can catch up in productivity with industrial leaders. This column shows that, under the right conditions, such catch-up can be remarkably rapid. Using newly digitised US Census of Manufactures data covering 48 states and over 120 industries from 1880 to 2007, it finds strong unconditional convergence in manufacturing productivity: poorer states grew faster, closing gaps at an average rate of 7.6% per year. This far exceeds the 'iron law' of 2% conditional convergence often found in GDP per capita studies, and it accelerated dramatically in the 1940s.
