This decision is misguided on multiple levels. First, $4 billion a year is a trivial amount for the wealthiest country in history—especially when compared to the cost of weakening one of its greatest assets: its research institutions. Second, the damage this will inflict on

Week 7: The theory paper in focus this week is "Kidney Exchange" by Roth, Tayfun Sönmez & M. Utku Ünver. Undoubtedly, it is one of the most influential (in terms of research in economics) and impactful (in terms of goodness in society) papers of 21st century (micro)economics.

So, during the pandemic I had a young angry man who chose not to be vaccinated. He was convinced that his youth and vigour along with some questionable supplements would keep him healthy. He took no precautions and actually attended a COVID party.

It feels like Adam Smith never wrote either "Theory of Moral Sentiments" or "Wealth of Nations" or even a pin factory was never opened. At least there will be many poli sci and econ PhD theses written in the next decade due to this bonanza.

If you are not already following Sean Carroll 's Mindscapes, probably the best Science and Philosophy podcast out there, you are definitely missing big time. After so many years of following, he deserves a shout-out. At these trying times, the best refuge.

An NYU professor AI-proofed his assignments. The students complained they were too hard and that “he was interfering with their ‘learning styles.’”

End of the day, this was the kind of thing that was going to get caught. At some point, someone from the industry will call their bud at Corning and say, hey, what was that GNN you used? But in smaller contexts, "fake data in plausible way" will be really hard to discover. 7/x

Reminder: Only 14% of US residents are immigrants. But immigrants are responsible for 36% of aggregate innovation. Two-thirds of this contribution is due to making their native-born collaborators better.

Musk's DMV = government analogy is wrong at so many levels, especially in regulation and providing public goods in research funding and infrastructure building. DMV analogy can work if police, traffic law provision and DOT become part of DMV. Then decide how to optimize it.

It was a really horrible idea to organize this tournament. Such an injury was inevitable at some point :( Will they ever understand diluting their product this much is not the way to increase profits or total welfare of public, players, teams, FIFA?

Dozens more opposition politicians arrested in Turkey, including three more big-city mayors. Bottom line: Sensing that he can no longer win at the ballot box, Erdoğan is going full Sisi. If he has his way, Turkey will not have another meaningful election during his lifetime.
