   Lots of great advice here. Just wanted to add that, for me at least, I’m way more creative when I’m on a team than I am by myself. So maybe think about what contexts you thrive in.

   Keynesians (the real ones, not the so-called New Keynesians) understood stagflation as it was happening. There was a deadlock between capital and labor. The oil embargo starting in 1973 lowered America’s real income. The question was who wa

   Yes, please see some experts. Optometrists and opthalmologists have different training. I always assumed the MD was better, but for my condition optometrists were more help. See both. Get a second and third opinion. It’s important!

   Me too. I bought a rare $80 art book from amazon and the first two were badly damaged from shipping and the third was just a little damaged so I gave up and took it. I was worried they would deactivate my account for being a troublemaker or

   It makes sense, since most therapy is about as useful as pointless work meetings.

   There’s been a huge increase in the money supply around the world since the GFC and hardly any inflation. This should not be a surprise because monetarism already failed as soon as it was tried 35 years ago. Simple models of the price level

    Spotify is pretty good for podcasts, their search anyway.

    A friend who’s a translator told me he uses every kind of ad block, VPN, and language settings and it makes Google basically usable again. I’ve noticed that I use Google a lot less now because all the ads and baloney stress me out. Turns ou

    The writing workshop style is so played out now, I don’t know how anybody can stand it.

    I think that’s begging the question, though. They could have fought it out, like the Volcker shock in the US from just a few years earlier. Maybe everybody assumed they wouldn’t do anything as dumb as that.

    I don’t understand why it is that the hike in interest rates had to fail. Had the speculators bought tied up so much liquidity that nobody had pounds to sell to the UK’s central bank?

    America needs elite colleges to reproduce its ruling class. At least the ruling class thinks so.

    Yeah they’re not left leaning at all, they’re completely corporate and plutocratic. The highest paid state employees are university presidents and college sports coaches.

    Tobacco companies promoted this myth about how great DDT is because they were trying to undermine health science generally. It’s a right-wing scam. Don’t fall for it. http://crookedtimber.org/2007/05/30/ddt-to

    I learned SQL from the Access 95 manual. That was the start of my programming career. My life would have been completely different without it.

    A lot of the grit talk is designed to turn what are social problems into individual problems. That's why it's so popular with rich people. Rich people love to think of themselves as deserving, and grit is just the buzzword for it.

    There are plenty of walkable cities that manage monsoon rains in Japan and Korean. It's completely possible for people to get around without having to move five thousand pounds of metal with them.
