@Intervenienten1 Du vill begränsa regeringens/myndigheters språkanvändning?

[Sam Bowman @s8mb]

Tyler Cowen on how AI will change our lives. Excellent.

@REBELC0RK @corkcitycouncil Restaurants/pubs pay an annual fee for every sq.m of public space they use, right?

@BobMurphyEcon More about coconuts and MMT

In 2005, the environmental impact statement for the Luas was 176 pages.

Twenty years later, the report for the extension to Finglas is… over 7,000 pages.

[Progress Ireland @ProgressIreland]

Ireland is beset by shortages of physical things: houses, trains, water, roads. To fix these shortages, sometimes we need to remove red tape, and other times we need to beef up the state so it can deliver better.

Took this random photo of a street in Girona last night. If it was an equivalent in Dublin, the lads in DCC would be wondering where to lash up a sign for the M50, and a raft of plastic wands.

Illegal to build Ireland -- no balconies, what looks like some single-aspect

@ninalarsson Wolds har inte "attackerat" utsatta personer. Tänkte stödrösta på L men knappast efter den här dikeskörningen.

@victorsmalm @JohanIngero Att språkets precision försämras genom fobi-konstruktionerna är väl negativt?

[Swan @AndySwan]

You're much more of a slave to the 1% that commit 50% of crimes than you are to the 1% that create 40% of the wealth.

[Daragh Cassidy @DaraghCassidy]

Bike lanes with trees instead of plastic bollards. Yes please! The council did a really nice job here. The street feels much nicer for pedestrians too, not just cyclists.

Elected mayors - no

[Irish Fiscal Advisory Council @fiscalcouncil]

1/6 The council has a new blog post out today. It focuses on, what has become a regular feature of Ireland’s public finances, spending overruns.

[Kim-Mai Cutler @kimmaicutler]

Why has modular construction failed in the United States?

"Sweden has used prefabrication to deliver mid- and high-rise housing at competitive cost and high quality for decades, and the explanation has nothing to do with engineering. Sweden has a standardized national building code and, more consequentially, a Public Housing authority that has committed to enough repeat volume to give factories a reason to invest, improve, and stay in business."

"In our experience, the building code is as much to blame as land use policy. The U.S. has delegated code development to more than 20,000 local jurisdictions, each with its own byzantine requirements, making it nearly impossible to develop a standard product that can be sold at scale across state lines."

@IBergwiesel A non-centered PCA doesn't help if you want to build a hockey stick?
Excluding series not increasing in 20th century doesn't help?
Please explain.

[Alec Stapp @AlecStapp]

What's the effect of transfer payments on the "poverty bundle" (health, crime, education, productivity, etc)?

Excellent lit review from @MTabarrok teasing out the causal effects of income.

Please god let us learn from the governance mistakes of HS2 before we begin our own megaproject.

Any comment? @RogerPielkeJr

[Atomsk's Sanakan @AtomsksSanakan]

@MichaelEMann Has Pielke resolved his contradiction?

Yet another fine example of ‘ireland doesn’t like to plan nice things’ as anyone who’s lived in Copenhagen can point towards it & ask ‘why not here?’

Then; meet dept/planners and councillors..:
