Strong correlations to actual outcomes. That can be career outcomes or otherwise but actual outcomes people care about. Not test scores. We have a zillion natural experiments because there are so many schools in the world and within many of

The study picked an artificial and useless proxy. What did tutored students go on to do? Were they over represented in Nobel Prizes, hedge fund billionaires, heads of state? Or did they do well on a meaningless test and then forget all abou

I had students that I knew were smart that I was forced to fail. They would grasp the subjects quickly when I was speaking, they would ask good questions during class...and then they would simply never study or do the homework I assigned t

The index don’t use the full market cap, they use free float. Except for nasdaq and the Dow which just pick numbers out of the air. At least at first the spacex free float will be quite modest.

I’m definitely aware they have bells. Evidence for breaks is much thinner on the ground.

And then bicyclists will hit the people crossing to the side walk.

Great, now how are we going to force bicyclists to open red lights and stop signs?

That's because it requires less skill! Critiquing something is always easier than doing it. No, it was always the other way around. Mediocre programmers always wanted to rewrite everything because reading and understanding an existin

IBKR relentlessly advertises on the radio, so I’m aware that on their scheme you earn an interest like incentive coupon for every day you hold open the position.

CFOs love it because Microsoft does bundle pricing with office. Plus they love to give large credits to bootstrap lock-in.

No it really isn’t. That’s just the latest in a long line of boogeymen. The prior ones being banned somehow didn’t lead to paradise on earth. California is the world champion and banning boogeymen. How’s that going for them? And it’s not ju

Yet daycare costs are also exploding. In both cases it’s not primarily about wages going to the direct care workers—-though steep minimum wage increases are a factor in some jurisdictions.

I’m sure the new owners are scummy, but the fundamental problem isn’t scummy people. There’s lots of markets that are okay-ish notwithstanding scummy people. Even those with natural lock in effects. The fundamental problem is it is at the i

It’s naive to hang on to this fantasy of a small cabal of rich people ruining everything. It’s not at all the case. No one is being tricked. The voters are the problem. Go and talk to them instead of putting them on a pedestal as tricked vi

Maybe they are all in North Korea and beyond any extradition. But police broadly defined don’t even try very hard when it comes to certain crimes.

The Founders were wrong about this one. We have an overly powerful executive because they split up the legislative power too much and it doesn’t act as an effective counterweight. Look around the world and find the countries where the legis

When the logic for bicameralism disappears, you should get rid of the second chamber. Not just find some other random thing to do with it. See, also, US state legislatures post Reynolds v. Sims.

I’m not trying to erase anyone’s individual experience, but it isn’t a generational defining event broadly across the U.S. population.

If you graduated in 2007, your classmates were born around 1985. Their parents were mostly born in the mid 50s to the mid 60s and came to political consciousness either during the Vietnam War or immediately thereafter. No war since has been

Kavanaugh clearly isn’t in the same bucket. His votes go either way. I don’t recall seeing a single decision this administration where either Alito or Thomas wrote against a White House position. Not just in case opinions but even in an ord

All that may well be true. But one doesn’t have to be a leader in the field of genomics to have read decades of articles breathlessly proclaiming medical breakthroughs (in mice) and then not ever seeing them hit the market (in humans.) Or i
