The basic failure to understand research ethics among the acip goon squad is disheartening. At least try to write an IRB protocol you fucking nitwits.

They'll blame the individual-based decisionmaking and refuse responsibility

When you're addressing "how are you not like enron" questions then you're losing.

I’m finally leaving Chicago and following Bovino to Charlotte on Thursday. If you’re in the area and have any leads on finding CBP/ICE/DHS, dm me for my number.

If rebates go back to the importers then thats a massive windfall for them at the expense of consumers.

This isn't rocket science. ANY student who has passed a principles of microeconomics course should be able to explain this at the Thanksgiving table, the week where I have an open lecture day

Thanks! This is very helpful. Their approach is different from what I’m thinking of (thankfully!)

Has anyone seen a paper using regularization to manage noise in event studies? I’ve got an idea that I’ve been toying with that should reduce the point to point noise in event studies (and may yield more precise honest bounds on did estimates)

PSA for people with NIH grant periods starting January 1st (including most NIGMS MIRAs): your RPPR is due Saturday, but they haven’t sent out the usual automated reminders, presumably due to the shutdown

I have one scabies story from one of my kids favorite Danish books. One character (Baron von Rumpelstumpel) has "fnat" and I had no clue what it was. Turns out it's scabies.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

@kavehmd.bsky.social I'm sure you have thoughts about this! Likewise @iwriteok.bsky.social too.

I'd be happy to record my principles lecture on the incidence of taxes. It might be illuminating to Sauer

Uhhhhh. This doesn't sound like the AI boom is going to keep booming.

More like a crash boom!

This is a Christianity I recognize from my(limited) Sunday school in the Danish Seamen's church. One that focuses on a supportive social mission, not a mission to deride the poor and spread misery on the "undeserving”

This is such a great idea. I would love to be able to park under a solar panel and avoid the hot sun heating up my car.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

We've been through that in NC. Cunningham was going to win until some texts were leaked

Some Chicago Businesses Feeling the Impact of Trump’s Immigration Blitz

This is something I am looking into using mobility data. I haven't been able to look at Chicago yet (feed hasn't updated yet) but I've seen some evidence of similar drop offs in DC and LA during earlier periods.
