My favorite citation is curiously missing from the references (as of Sat April 5, 6:40 EST): > The recent experience with U.S. tariffs on China has demonstrated that tariff passthrough to retail prices was low (Cavallo et al, 2021). The

The running joke is that American legislators make "surprisingly" good stock trades for "reasons." Regardless or not of whether these picks actually tend to be good long term investments, it really, really rankles to kno

I'd put my chips on the formula being $(LLM_OF_CHOICE), given the lack of attention paid to details like, say, uninhabited islands near the Antarctic. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/04/critics-s

I agree as well: the Grauniad's UK political reporting is often shameful at the way it covers internal Labour Party warring with anonymous "internal party sources" that often toe the center-right line, and what are often brie

The direction of causation there is strange, too. COVID-19 era eviction moratoria expired halfway through June, and records have consistently been beat since then. (There are also anecdotal rumors that people get bussed in from across the c

Canada has/had? a similar pilot program, but for alcohol use where you get a drink every hour: it might be a good comparison re: health outcomes alone. Let me find a link. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016&#

The article mentions a very important decriminalization-agnostic reason why no changes in outcomes were found within their analytic period: treatment took a really, really, really long time to set up, with funding only going out by the time

In addition to infosample's comment, it also gives Apple a presence in the news that's unambiguously positive over, say, the AI company du jour. (After all, Apple's financials won't tell you about flops.)

Consistent with that - Steve calling the original Apple TV a “hobby”. This was during the days of Front Row, when Apple bundled remotes with iMacs and they had their own “media console” like software.

Steve Jobs had Pixar and iTunes; Tim Cook had Apple TV+, I guess. Apple couldn’t possibly be Apple without some play at cultural significance. I know old Stevenotes in the heyday of iTunes would make a habit of bringing in musicians to show

I wouldn't be surprised if some security team at Apple was cooking up a bespoke DSL as well – NIH seems to happen once in a while.

At this point, I think Apple's platform security teams have to seriously [edit: by default] start mitigating attachment exploits in ways that affect UX – _not_ rendering message previews, or blacklisting formats by defaults. Given Appl

I'm not sure what you're saying is inconsistent with parent's comment: you're both talking about different points in time in humanity's history – the snark seems unwarranted.

Not to weigh against Wolfram one last time, but he's (finally?) renamed Mathematica just "Wolfram". Why he would toss out years of brand-related goodwill is beyond me.

That’s a good way of thinking about it - it’s fun to think through how everything digital security-related from privilege separation (engineering controls) to mitigations (PPE) fits in that framework.

Speaking of quotas: I wouldn’t surprised if part of the reason for her lengthy detention was “we have to meet jail occupancy targets” (or “we have to boost our jail occupancy metrics”.)
