@andrewbstern @ajlamesa @Superplant33770 Very strong “the economy is doing great according to these 3 charts, what do you mean people are struggling” vibes. Ignore people’s lived experience at your peril. Or go visit Venice, Roma Norte, Florence, Barrio Attico in the high season. I promise it’s not like Manhattan.

@mattyglesias Matt - please consider leaving X now. @dudes4harris has been censored, apparently for no good reason. Time to move on.

@seanjtaylor These are largely substituting for at home cooking, not going out with friends at the local restaurant.

Helvetica is the true MVP, tho. Used by NY MTA and countless brands.

What is the greatest font of all time?

@mattyglesias This looks like an old semiconductor manufacturing facility, probably built ~ 20 yrs ago.

@AdamSinger By that token, Belarus with its cold utilitarian architecture should have won the prize.

@dbergstresser @JustinWolfers He will himself (gracefully) admit that he’s far from the top of the sport excerpt when it comes to climbing without a rope (which is a fringe practice). Czech climber Adam Ondra has been much more dominant over the past 10 years, both indoors and outdoors.

Edgeworth was using p < 0.005 (rather than 0.05) before RA Fisher was even born

@buccocapital They should have used the money to edit out the laughtrack

@caro Also a recipe for living an anonymous and low impact life largely devoid of new experiences, rich friendships, and larger enterprises beyond what’s possible with a small nucleus of people.

Long-termism and short-termism somehow come together. https://t.co/h0OiJNegCx

@jburnmurdoch I think THAT’s the primary reason - the Anglo legal and political tradition encourages objections and litigation, and puts the rights of individual owners above all else, esp the interest of the commons.

1/.. SVB, part 2: lessons for regulators.

SVB failed because of unhedged interest risk exposure on MBS and a run by uninsured depositors.

The MBS exposure was very large; the deposit-base unusually risky. That's why SVB was the first to fail.

Now what?

[Thomas Philippon @ThomasPHI2]

1. SVB part 3: If only SVB had been forced to run stress tests on interest rates... right?

Well, it's a bit more complicated than that.

In 2010 Dodd-Frank introduced toug requirements for banks with more than 50b in assets.

Then Barney Frank became a de facto bank lobbyist..

Tinder, but for cancelling meetings on calendars.

If both people swipe on a meeting, it disappears. If only one person swipes, nothing happens. Standing 1:1s, etc.

@hardimanjames won’t say anything except that there’s a charismatic underdog that emerges at some point

@I_Am_NickBloom @ModeledBehavior Large tech companies are laying people off and reducing their cost burn because of reduced growth rates, but the rest of the economy seems to be humming along, no?
