@MattGlassman312 Economically the price discrimination stuff is the opposite of the other stuff (in a competitive market sellers couldn’t price discriminate). I think the throughline is more like “what creates cognitive burden for consumers”

I like markets. But reading about the Harberger tax finally crystalized for me the angst so many people seem to be feeling in the increasingly markets-all-around-us world.

@PizzitolaFan @IanWenik probably the most wide open Ivy race entering the season in half a century?

one of the best metafilter comments of all time gets more relevant every day

I have never seen someone "doomsday prep" by being kind

@MattGlassman312 @NateMeyvis The Inner Game of Tennis argues that tennis pros say too much (to justify their role) and leave players overwhelmed, better to focus more on watching or looking at images
English
Building off a post by @NateMeyvis, I have a strong sense of the importance of tacit knowledge in both driving a car and playing card games, but little or no sense of the most efficient way to transmit and hard-wire such knowledge.

More teams lost in regulation when fouling up three this Tournament (one) than those who played it out (zero).

Huge news and a bummer. (But Banghart also seemed impossible to replace, and Berube was even more successful, so we'll see.) x.com/IvyHoopsOnline…

Carla Berube, one of the greatest coaches in modern Ivy men's or women's basketball history, is leaving for Northwestern, Princeton has announced. The Tigers won 84% of their games in six seasons under Berube - an era that now has ended. goprincetontigers.com/news/2026/3/25…

Golden should’ve fouled (except the never even had anyone within arm’s reach of the ball anyway)
Rob Dauster@RobDauster
San Francisco just intentionally fouled Portland when they were up two with six seconds left. Put Portland on the line for a 1-and-1. (Portland missed the second). That’s a Todd Golden/Jon Safir special right there.

Has any tweet aged better than this one? It’s basically the defining ethos of the entire last decade. By some objective measure, it might be the best tweet of all time.

two of the weirdest game-winners ever this afternoon:
- high-low post at end of shot clock
- cherry-pick fast break to someone without a 2PM all year

Remember when oil topped $150/barrel in the wake of the 2011 Libya strikes? And stayed above that price for most of the next 2 yrs?
OK, you may not remember because you probably weren't thinking about oil in 2026 prices back then. But if you were that's what you would have seen.

I’d heard that backing into a parking space was safer than pulling in headfirst, but I never understood why until now.

@wezekowitz well winning helps
I was at that game and somehow don’t remember a single second of it

@whitakk Bryce Aiken 38 points on 21 shots at Yale in the Ivy League championship in 2019!

Added a @totally_t_bomb-style page with pure metrics-based women's bracketology - mostly in line with the consensus but TX A&M might have a shot if their committee takes to WAB as well as the men's has

@2ndChancePoints four regular-season conference titles since their last NCAA appearance, which is no Toledo but has to be up there

I felt like there was more uncertainty a few days ago, but now everyone has converged on almost the same bubble teams getting in. (This will update every few hours until Selection Sunday, but not much will change from now on).
English
I was looking for a WBB version of BracketMatrix and couldn't find any, so I fired up Codex and made one myself. This has @TheIXSports, @herhoopstats, @CharlieCreme and a few others (shout if I'm missing any).

So to the extent we're seeing "AI effects" in the productivity data, right now they're probably skewed towards capex- & manufacturing-driven effects (construction workers likelier to be working on high-value data centers, etc) rather than micro-productivity effects on workers. /3
