If you want a better sense of Stephen Moore's facility with economic data and general relationship to the truth, I recommend googling 'Stephen Moore Volcker Rule.' www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/u...

It's just like me fr

They're basically Pirate's Booty

Ace of Base is the elder millennial bat signal

Corn or potato starch usually

Perhaps my group wasn't representative but I assure you we weren't having those types of conversations in Boettke's classes

Other than perhaps choosing a sweeter variety of sweet corn for the no-salt-added, yeah there is probably some misinformation there

The brine used for canned sweet corn has a certain amount of sugar in it. The no-salt-added brine likely has more sugar added because sugar can act as a preservative similar to salt.

Yeah they're great

I had always understood those goals as the end point of a project to build capacity. It's why we always talked about the belt-tightening vs starvation of responsibility

Revision in this sense is closer to meaning rigorousness

Some of my favorite Saints ever come from the defensive side of those years. I think it's 98 where the d-line was Joe Johnson, La'Roi Glover, Wayne Martin, and future Falcons legend Brady Smith. Plus Sammy Knight

Ditka did a lot of betting if you include the ones with Zaven Yaralian

When I found out Germans eat dinner at like 9 pm I almost lost my mind

Microsoft already is cutting outlays for future data center capacity so there is a response to market conditions plus as others have said the centers are useful outside of just LLMs. It's not like the dot-com bubble where fiber was overbuilt and not needed for decades.

My wife says this about basically everything that I do

Exactly. There are only so many tenure tracks and so many awards. But if you're looking for a meaningful career and a satisfying life, there are so many more opportunities.

When I was finishing my doctorate, a community college professor came in to talk to us as part of a job market panel. I still remember him saying "community colleges are great and fulfilling jobs, but you'll never be able to work at a 4 year university after" and that basically killed that part

I had no idea about that. Interesting

He's named in the novel and original Exorcist movie

US News rankings are mostly determined by tuition cost and acceptance rates. Research found applicants associated it with quality and sure enough if schools fall one year they juice tuition or reduce acceptance and the next year will be higher.

Great dogs. My neighbor has three and they're so happy and playful.

For me it was either Politics & The Media, Apocalyptic Literature, or Guns, Drugs & Democracy

"The AI infrastructure build-out is so gigantic that in the past 6 months, it contributed more to the growth of the U.S. economy than /all of consumer spending/" - @mims.bsky.social

My takeway is that The US has gone ALL IN BET OF THE 21st Century on AI, while China has gone all in on green tech
