Even ignoring the typo, that strategy isn't a Nash equilibrium.

How arbitrary was the design of the @UN's SecurityCouncil? In this study, published at the Journal of Public Economic Theory, I show that the SC can be rationalized as an optimal mechanism for WW2 winners, given other countries' participation constraints.

@glichand @pengzell Thanks for the reference. I'll take a look, I'm interested to see how the "stress due to pandemic" effect was separated from the online classes effect. I'm having an analogous problem with that on a paper I'm writing about elections in Bolivia.

[Johann Caro-Burnett @johanncb]

@glichand Excluding low-income countries, it looks pretty much vertical. My guess is that it has to do with the (before-pandemic) quality of education and technology, rather than the length of school closure... at least up to a reasonable threshold.

Years ago, Elon Musk considered creating a platform to evaluate news media (Pravda). One of the reasons was that the media excessively antagonized Tesla's self-driving feature.

@dlmillimet Ascaso dream PID is quite good. If your budget is higher, maybe a Nuova Simonelli Oscar or a Rocket Appartamento.

I found this old (pre-covid era) picture of #LaPaz city on my camera roll. The mountain in the background is the #Illimani, which is, according to legends, the protector of the city. I added a yellow filter, because.
