I cannot believe all it took was for NIL to become legal to see the fall of the SEC

@JoFrhwld I just wanted to say, this exact question came up in my text analysis class yesterday and when we googled it, your tweet was the first thing to pop up

The word “prohertrib” comes up when I mess around with the pretrained GloVE gigaword model & do vector analogies like uk-london+france. But when I google it, it only shows up as code output techy posts about word embeddings. Any idea what this word is?

The government was never meant to be run like a company. Its bottom line isn’t profit margins, it’s people.
The notion that the government should be run like a business is an absurd one.

Musk: If a commercial company operated the way the federal government does, then it would be -- immediately go bankrupt. It would be delisted. The officers would be arrested

Let’s be clear: the Department of Education exists because states wouldn’t fund poor schools, wouldn’t protect kids with disabilities, wouldn’t follow civil rights law, especially in the South. Anyone calling to abolish it is calling to turn back the clock—and we can’t let that happen.

At the White House right now. Headed to see President @realDonaldTrump return control of education back to the states—where it belongs.

It's not that the kid is wrong, it's that he's wrong with utter and serene confidence. When people ask me why I wrote The Death of Expertise, it wasn't ignorance that compelled me to write, it was this kind of unbreakable, completely self-assured stupidity that did it.

The haters said a trade war would tank the market.
They were correct.
Honesty, great call by the haters.

Great presentation by my friend Ahmed on U.N. Peace keeping and its pacifying effects on Militarized Interstate Disputes!

This is exactly the problem. You can't take the "move fast and break things" mentality of Silicon Valley into the federal government, a place where if you break things, people die, or have their rights violated, or can't access essential services.

Musk: I should say we will make mistakes. We won't be perfect. But when we make a mistake we'll fix it quickly. So for example with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled briefly was Ebola prevention.

If he does this, it will be the absolute dumbest thing any US President has ever done, ever. Forward deployment is an extremely effective tool of deterrence, and US forces in particular have been shown to dramatically reduce the chance of aggression. WTAF is he doing.

BREAKING: US Vice President JD Vance will probably announce the withdrawal of US troops from Europe at the Munich Security Conference. This is what the head of the security conference, Christoph Heusgen, assumed in an interview with Deutschlandfunk . "I suspect that today the American Vice President will also announce that a large part of the American troops will be withdrawn from Europe and that Europe should take over the tasks

🚀 Launching a new #Stata package #geoflow that allows users to generate spatial arcs.
This package is a culmination of over a year of work for building stable core dependencies. It also brings us one step closer to flexibly plot network data (more on generic applications later this year).
Given the complex structure of spatial network data (nodes, flows, attributes, projections etc.), the use is not so straightforward but I will add more examples and tutorials soon.
From now till March, there are several trainings scheduled around maps and spatial data so expect some improvements in the coming months.
Do give it a try! More info:

Up soon on #SSC!

A friend of mine once said: You know what the problem is with being an economist? Everyone has an opinion about the economy. Nobody goes up to a geologist and says, 'Igneous rocks are fucking bullshit.'
Matthew Leisten@LeistenEcon
Economics is: - Not a science - Grounded in assumptions, not all of which are testable - More useful than whatever garbage you prefer over it
