Weather in Melbs is terrible. Looking forward to heading to Syds tomorrow.

We have decided Melbournians complain too much about the winter weather.

A really fantastic conference. Bringing together academic researchers, government policy analysts and administrative data providers. The conference revolved around the PLIDA data which is an amazing Australian administrative data linking project. Thanks to @ashcraig.bsky.social and Bob Breunig.

Dog's beach Torquay Vic. A dog was body surfing. A bit too impatient re wave selection.

Didn’t really expect Saturday evening in downtown Canberra to be buzzing.

I guess I left for 30 years and the song went downhill.

Been out of Australia a long time. I ordered a chicken parm at a pub in Canberra and they had the choice of various sauces so I choose tomato sauce not realizing that it was tomato sauce.

Often when I order from a place on the Hill, it is one of the employees if not the manager.

Soccer is more specific. Originally Association football as opposed to the more popular, at the time, rugby football. Now to distinguish from American football, Canadian football, Australian rules football and Gaelic football. Thanks for attending my Ted talk.

From the fixest NEWS file: the new default VCOV is iid for all estimations. To change the default to the way it was, place setFixest_vcov(all = "cluster", no_FE = "iid") in your .Rprofile.

#rstats #econsky PSA: The next release of `fixest` will include some important changes (plus cool new features).

E.g. Fixed-effects regs will now default to 'iid' SEs rather than clustered. github.com/lrberge/fixe...

You can install and test drive the dev version from R-universe; see the README.
