@PollTracker2024 Why on earth is "the party" spending money defending incumbents in primarys? Completely non-democratic and indefensible. It's the democratic party, not the democratic incumbents party.

@musharbash_b @DKThomp This seems like it engages with the issue directly: derekthompson.org/p/whats-the-ma… Excited to read your response!

@benedictevans POP forwarding should never generate bounces unlike push forwarding. But I could be misunderstanding the issue!

@benedictevans I think it should work that way even with SPF/DKIM failing. Have you tried the instructions here support.google.com/mail/answer/21…

@benedictevans If you set up POP importing on the gmail side instead of setting up the forwarding on the hotmail side it should work.

@ppyramidnet Awesome! Will it be possible to see previous versions so we can compare?

Currently updating populationpyramid.net with the latest World Population Prospects. Preview here under. Did you know that India's population is getting bigger than China's one?

@tempelorg @peternlewis Using "~all" is a completely accepted setting and is the norm as far as I'm aware.

@peternlewis One might think that using "~all" in the SPF would help work around this redir issue (yes, it makes SPF somewhat ineffective but would still make Gmail happy), but an SO article suggests that this might increase the "is spam" score because spammers like to use this setting, too

And this is why I didn't want to do SPF. I set up SPF to make gmail happy, but then when a user on hotmail redirects their email to gmail, it still fails - because the SPF succeeds initially and then MS servers send it to gmail where it fails. Stupid system.

@akanygren Have you tried using POP3 importing instead of push forwarding?

I've noticed gmail has started increasingly rejecting mail from domains configuring SPF to hard-fail (at least when coming from IPv6 source addresses). This makes mail forwarded through a personal domain/server increasingly flakey. I really wish this could be tuned by recipients.

@L1beralTears @gmail @Norton You can set up filters to send emails with certain words to trash.

@gmail is there a way to block ANY email that contains a specific word? i get ENDLESS phishing spam for @Norton & im done with it. if you dont have this option, please Add it , there are countless @Norton spammers, so blocking senders is like trying to catch rain with a fork

@paulkrugman In absolute terms when would you predict that interest outlays will be >500B? By 2025? By 2030? fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYOINT

One reason is that the real value of debt is eroded by inflation. Real interest rates are currently negative, and overall real interest payments, as Furman and Summers point out, are at historic lows 3/ piie.com/research/piie-…

Gonna do a brief (?) wonkish thread on debt sustainability, and why we shouldn't worry about it. Start with the reason many people think it's terrible: they imagine that debt snowballs, because the more debt you have the higher your interest payments, so you run up even more 1/

@paulkrugman Why look at real interest rates as % of gdp instead interest outlays as % of gdp fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYOIGDA…

@FPBland Awesome, thank you! A related question is how helpful would the standards in RUAA be if they weren't preempted by the FAA? The rules about disclosures of conflicts seem very helpful.

@EmanuelSchorsch We'll post it, thx. Under the case law, the standard for evident partiality is ridiculously high. "Just" having an arbitrator whose main job is working at a law firm representing corporations like the defendant is unquestionably not enough under current law

@FPBland You mentioned sending the committee cases where the court upheld unfair arbitration agreements. Could you publicly post that list as well? I want to understand why "where there was evident partiality or corruption in the arbitrors" in the FAA isn't upheld by the courts.

@LastWeekTonight You should do a segment on Forced Arbitration! It's a rapidly growing practice that now affects 60 million Americans and is basically creating a shadow court system. It could really benefit from John Olliver's explanatory power!

@maximlott electionbettingodds is great! Can you include the date of each prediction in the full track record, and the ones after 2016 as well?
