I saw this discussed on Marginal Revolution today as well. My main question is whether the gains are fundamentally zero-sum, at least in the short term. Some districts implement flexible pay and some don’t, and then the best teachers move t

If Google could release Gemini with a straight face, is it so hard to believe that this shadowy org might fail in an even subtler way? Patrick McKenzie observes elsewhere that criminal orgs operate more or less like non-criminal ones — by c

Not to be a pedant but the relevant variable has not been manipulated here. We would need sites of (more or less) equal-in-expectation popularity to be assigned to use social media or not. The metrics the author provides are capturing effec

I do not expect SBF to express remorse, be a model prisoner, etc. I expect him to royally misunderstand the rules of the game, which he routinely does in formal settings. This is the same man who leaked his ex's diaries while she was t

An uncle once commented about a cousin of ours that he demonstrated how it's possible to screw things up so badly that you can't possibly recover. I think that's true for Sam. I hope it's not true for the people in his o
