    I’m biased because I’m quoted, but I think this is a very helpful primer on recessions by : What Is a Recession, and Why Are People Talking About the Next One?

    You live in a society whose every production industry is based around a government-subsidized chemical feedstock. Corn is not a _food_. Corn is a _platform_.

    We have no idea whether automation will ultimately destroy more jobs than it creates. But that uncertainty shouldn't distract us from five key questions about automation and jobs. My latest, in

    This year I read a lot of emergency room bills — 1,182 of them, to be exact! I read bills from all 50 states. I read bills from patients who were babies, and patients who were elderly. Let me tell you a bit about what I learned! (1/11)

    A key point here -- a really important point -- is that these companies are supposed to be competing with each other. Instead, they're all behaving like super chummy friends -- and the enemy is you.

    Renters in expensive (American) cities are just as anti-development (in their backyard) as homeowners. My guess is it's the same in Toronto.

    Me: Okay, D3's not *that* hard Also me: Spends three days trying to get something to zoom

    The bos' *finally* weighs in, after the debate "should we use D3?" is now a couple years old. But still, I am going to disagree: D3 is still hard. Choosing which modules to use out of a list of 31 is not an "easy" ecosystem, even done perfectly.

    “Feel the market, don’t just go by meaningless numbers” is the kind of advice economists absolutely love.

    I hope the people over at the Fed will read today’s Wall Street Journal Editorial before they make yet another mistake. Also, don’t let the market become any more illiquid than it already is. Stop with the 50 B’s. Feel the market, don’t just go by meaningless numbers. Good luck!

    If I had this mindset three years ago, there would be no tigris (80k downloads from the rstudio mirror) or tidycensus (21k downloads), but maybe an extra couple publications with 15 combined citations

    I wonder how many 1000s of hours of some of the brightest minds in science are being wasted creating cool packages that only 10 people will ever use to shave 5 minutes off the time taken to solve a problem and which will stop working with dependency issues 2 years later.
