Why add a useless regulation that costs $500 or so? And create an industry of grift, which is economically costly because they are being paid to lie, not do useful stuff? Adding another regulation to hundreds is not minor when we need to increase supply for younger generations.

Fringe (2008–2013) is right up there with the best sci-fi shows, never talked about enough, and it just kept getting better with each season.

The one man who could have re-opened Hormuz by himself.

This perfectly highlights the value of an education in economics relative to physics alone

Academic scientists historically accepted lower salaries because the job offered intellectual freedom and institutional protection to pursue a passion for creating and disseminating knowledge. It was treated as a calling - closer to a priesthood or a federal judgeship than a

The NDIS is buckling. And it's only getting harder to fix 'Programs designed to expand access to care – including Better Access and the NDIS – have unintentionally created a system that treats ordinary distress as pathology, encourages diagnostic expansion and rewards long-term

@MarkManger A few years ago, I wrote a paper on electoral dynamics and had to read through a chunk of the political science and sociology literature on voting behavior. I was genuinely shocked at how many of the papers simply assumed that voters who chose the "wrong" candidate were doing

There’s no reason why sellers could not voluntarily decide to provide inspection reports. To the extent they do not, this reflects the unreliability of such information.

The capital gains tax myth behind Australia’s housing crisis 'A new research paper published today by the Centre for Independent Studies suggests proposals to reduce the 50 per cent capital gains tax discount would put at risk investment in housing, driving up rents while having

The @smh's campaign against "luxury penthouses" is illogical and counter-productive. If you don't allow expensive housing for the wealthy they instead outbid middle income residents for lower-rung housing, who then outbid lower incomes. Everyone loses.1/2 https://t.co/XeALTrnVUf

We never hear about how much wealthier the current young are than current retirees were at their age. Nor how wealthy they will be due to economic growth when the current young retire. This is a distraction from the main problem of the need for much greater housing supply.

"It might be “cool” or “innovative” to teach students to summarize readings w/ ChatGPT or write essays with Claude. But we may be doing them a disservice: reducing their ability to retain material, think creatively, & reason from what they know. If you only read what AI has

This was written by AI. My advice is to get your AI agent to read it and move on to useful things.

I'm all for teaching creativity (somehow) but this strikes me as falling into the same trap as failed trends in education which ignore that actual learning requires some repetition and memorization to reduce cognitive load of simpler tasks and move to the next level

When governments are in power far too long they forget that the money they spend isn’t theirs. This is what’s happening in Canberra. If we keep voting them in and expect better, that’s on us.

If you think there aren't education academics saying foundational math isn't important, think again. This professor of education at SFU was willing to go on the record in the Vancouver Sun. Quote below👇 https://t.co/PbodxEJF1d

@joshgans @DAcemogluMIT @davidautor It is my biggest gripe with all the industrial policy stuff. It is oh intervention is great. . as long as I am the one dictating it. But that ignores completely the political economy of intervention. I find it stunning that people who are sophisticated about power don't see that
