I like these projects but in my experience the four most common products people use for making slides are Google Slides, Canva (mostly by undergraduate students), PowerPoint, and Keynote. The common thread is the ease of use. So it's d

The inside joke among academicians is that our slides have wall of text because we make them on the flight while going to the conferences! Our presentations tend to be bland because the audience is reading off the slides and ignore what the

I had to learn Bayesian econometrics mostly on my own[1]. Fortunately, Jeff Miller[2] created a series of fantastic YouTube videos to explain Markov Chain Monte Carlo in detail. Personally, I prefer to learn mathematical concepts with equat

Chinese cities like Shanghai have been world class for a long time. The last time I was there, I had a dinner with a client on the outskirts of Shanghai. I took multiple subways to reach there and found that neighborhood quite ordinary and

One of my students codes exclusively in Python. But in most cases newer econometrics methods are implemented in R first. So he just uses rpy2 to call R from his Python code. It works great. For example, recently he performed Bayesian synthe

Yes, that's correct. Quarto is language agnostic and Posit has chosen that route over just being an R shop.

Water recycling is extremely limited in Texas. I wish cities would do more. Maybe they could make it mandatory to recycle water in new developments while going through approvals. It won’t happen though as city governments seem to be beholde

Summary. If you’re launching a business, the odds are against you: Two-thirds of start-ups never show a positive return. Unnerved by that statistic, a professor of entrepreneurship at Harvard Business School set out to discover why. Based o

I think that's a fair assessment. Goldberg seems to have strong journalistic ethics too. Again, from Bluesky, David Graham asks Jeffrey Goldberg about possible retaliation Jeffrey: It's not my role to care about the possibility

One lawyer I follow on Bluesky mentioned the longer he stayed on more exposed he became to legal ramifications. Also, this involves national security which courts may treat differently than other issues. I am more surprised that he did not

I agree with you. Even in Texas, where Tesla is now headquartered and Musk enjoys tremendous support from the Republican state government, we don't see many Teslas in the cities. On highways they are even rarer. I sometimes drive throu
