Do you have any suggestions for how an economist with this specialty could better contribute to the situation than doing research like this?

He has one on his website that costs a lot, but the one on O'Reilly only costs as much as a subscription to their service. It's a less in-depth version of the one on his site. https://learning.oreilly.com/videos&#x

This is based on the book by the same name, but has lectures to go along with it. Looks nice. I wish there were lectures to go along with Michael Kerrisk's book The Linux Programming Interface. I subscribe to O'Reilly's video

You'll have to be specific. Work in what way?

That doesn't sound so bad actually. Once you have one foot out the door, who cares? If somebody told me that I once lived another life that I can't remember as some alien species, and I didn't accomplish any of the things tha

Sorry, but a lot of this advice makes no sense or is pretty bad. 26. Are you on the fence about breaking up or leaving your job? You should probably go ahead and do it. People, on average, end up happier when they take the plunge. Seems i

Maybe I'm cynical, but I lost my trust in educational institutions when I realized how disconnected grades are from learning. Learning about people cheating didn't do anything to change my opinion. If anything, it made me hopeful

Depends on what I'm working on. If I'm working on something that I made from scratch and totally understand, and it's something that I'm skilled at, I can go for 11 hours. If I'm doing something totally new and tryi

It seems a little strange to criticize someone for asking a question on a site where most users seem to value curiosity. Not everyone has a background that makes it as easy to imagine problems like these, and while you've given some po

It's always interesting to imagine what kind of articles people in different economic systems would write about managing performance problems. I wonder what strategies a feudal lord would have for managing an underperforming serf if th

Also a little ironic that he suggests reading about a school of thought (zen) that famously talked about how useless reading is.

The Story of Philosophy by Will Durant is a good if slightly outdated intro. I also read Sophie's World and would recommend reading that first, but you can skip it if you don't want to read fiction. If you want something that talk

TulliusCicero says that regulation in general isn't automatically a bad idea. You're giving specific examples of purportedly bad regulation, which doesn't challenge the point that there exists some potential system of regulat

Seems like a stretch. On the other hand, business leaders are betting on Biden: https://www.businessinsider.com/georgia-recount-done-top-ceo... It seems like Trump is a guy who makes people's imagination go wild. Conse

Seems kind of silly to tell people who have been working at customer facing jobs this entire time that 8 hours at work is ok, but a few hours at dinner isn't. It's even more silly to blame working people for being unwilling to acc

I second this. I've been using a work account recently to introduce myself to some new things and I was surprised at how much I liked it. It seems like it has gotten better in the past couple years especially.

I understand the appeal, it just still baffles me that everybody who had anything to say about found it inspiring, since I find it so distasteful. Not that it's wrong to feel that way, but it's just strange to me that nobody seeme

The first time this went around in 2007, watching it made me feel like an alien. Everybody seemed to find it so inspiring, but I just found it kind of sad. The whole thing about being a Disney engineer seemed like such a manufactured dream.
