New dream job just dropped: pewtrusts.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/CenterExtern...

Pew Research Center is an extraordinary organization, and this is such a fantastic opportunity. When I was there, I felt like we were building mountains of data and only able to showcase a tiny slice of what was there.

That's even more of a reason to want them in a walled garden like Instagram, though, right? In that you can meter access, etc.

Parents knowing about security and verification and monitoring features and thus using them is a huge differentiator and very costly. I sure would want to know how it affected my business bottom line

If you care about internal safety this safety advertising pivot seems like a big win

I look like I’m praying for land value tax

The top 16 links @avizenilman.bsky.social sent his wife Noreen Malone this year that she did not open, from @maxread.info maxread.substack.com/p/the-read-m...

Elie is awesome and the Givewell story is a huge part of why we built Good Ventures to do leveraged philanthropy at scale.

I was also bored and pulled up the replication package.

The results are quite sensitive in aggregate to needing the controls. Here's the replication of Figure 3, including the case w/o controls:

Remember Nuzzel? A similar news-aggregating tool now exists for Bluesky The creator of Sill says "the death of the link" has had disastrous consequences for journalism, art, and the web. His free social media tool entered public beta on Friday.

Oops, apparently it was Nuzzel (sp). The bad place acquired it and it shut down. Sounds like there’s a competitor on here that I’ll definitely be trying!

Love this btw. Useful social aggregation is something I really wish there was more of. I particularly miss Nuzzl (did you ever use?).

This is really disappointing from msifry.bsky.social, who I expect better from. Not only is the title ad hominem clickbait, but the substance of the post is simply wrong.

We have to train ourselves to listen to evidence, even if it doesn't say what we want it to.

“We’re going to prevent all mergers” just means the mergers will happen when the other guys are in charge. Hopefully next time Dems will have a more thoughtful approach and facilitate some mergers on terms they find acceptable.

I think this is mostly San Francisco finally shrugging off the pandemic, but it is *really* funny that rent prices in San Francisco shot up *immediately* after the city banned RealPage and other algorithmic price setting software.

My pre trends are incredible!

So you blame Friedson?

One reaction: those of us who have worked in government think it is much much harder to get people to pay attention to the issues you want them to care about than a lot of folks who haven’t think.

Even the master of attention, Trump is struggling now to turn attention away from Epstein and has failed to get people to pay attention to the initiatives he wants like No Tax on Tips.

Agree to disagree. What matters is what was proposed and what was enacted. She folded.

@natalifg.bsky.social will go on @wamu.org to talk about our housing crisis here in MoCo but at the same time she BRAGS about only rezoning ~1/3 of the properties in the new University Boulevard plan initial Planning Board proposal? Lower building heights + reduced density? What am I missing?

As far as I know not much has been written about the behind the scenes stuff on HR 1, but this post from Bruenig (who definitely is not a moderate!!!) on Childcare gets at a lot of the same dynamics.

Now you're cooking

Ok but how correlated are they in your view even if one isn't sufficient (my view is you need intense media attention)

What evidence do you have that they are uncorrelated? They are very correlated.

Someone's got a plan for that
