Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

Watching the election post morten with all the party leaders on German TV, it’s good to see that nobody has claimed that the election was stolen, tried to instigate an insurrection, or has thrown out a Nazi salute. German liberal democracy still in a healthier state than the US.

Massive OpenResearch basic income papers are out (@smilleralert @dbroockman @evavivalt @AlexBartik @elizabethrds). Very much worth reading - my view is that it is an incredible RCT and an incredible disappointment. RCT was USD11400/yr for 3 years, 1k treatment, 2k control. 1/x

👀Claude handles an insane request:
“Remove the squid”

“The document appears to be the full text of the novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. It doesn't contain any mention of squid that I can see.”

If there's one item you don't want to be cheap about, it's eclipse glasses. Buying on Amazon from who knows where in order to save a couple of bucks is a BAD idea. If you value your eyesight, please buy directly from a reputable and trusted maker of certified safe glasses.
