I’ve also got a few codes if anyone needs some.

Es difícil encontrar el #Plan90 de Kast donde dice "buscar e 'inflar' activamente periodistas afines" o "agobiar" a la oposición con medidas para los primeros 90 días de gobierno. Lo dejo disponible para que la prensa y la sociedad civil 👇 https://t.co/lXMEIWGjG8

@artiagoitia @sotojuanjo El principal problema es que no es “ceteris paribus”… los equilibrios generales importan muchisimo en este caso. Puede q aumenten inversion, pero disminuyen recaudacion. A quien termina beneficiando este cambio? Afecta a todos x igual? Ese es un analisis que hay q transparentar

[magdalena bennett @maibennett]

@Deslenguada3 No hay ahorro, por lo que justificarlo por ese lado no tiene sentido. Yo no propongo ningun limite arbitrario. Si se cree que recorte en gasto es necesario, la primera pasada no deberia ser a costa de politicas sociales.

[magdalena bennett @maibennett]

Cual es el sentido de poner un limite arbitrario a <30 años en gratuidad (solo Us)? Son <2500 estudiantes en primer año el 2025, y eso no impide que esos cupos sean ocupados el prox año por estudiantes sub-30 con gratuidad.

El ahorro es mínimo y parece solo show para la galeria

Mi columna en @thecliniccl: la derrota de la espuria alianza entre el PDG y el progresismo para controlar la Cámara. Una derrota con Pamela Jiles que dice mucho sobre el estado de la oposición y los díscolos al gobierno de José Antonio Kast.

@santanderchile Hola, pueden arreglar su pagina? Tanto en la app como en la version web la actualización del perfil de inversionista falla y eso te bloquea de invertir.

Poniendome al dia con las encuestas (gracias @daniloherrerad!), vamos a cambiar el dicho a “mas feo que diapositiva de Mayol”.

I spent Friday with researchers and practitioners at a @JPAL_NA convening, talking about the value of causal evidence (including RCTs) for making policy work better.

A question that came up again and again is how to move forward in this moment of uncertainty about research funding.

I’m grateful that @Arnold_Ventures is committed to this policy space, so our funding isn’t going anywhere. And now (via an AV grant) more funding - as well as practitioner-researcher matchmaking - is available from @JPAL_NA as well.

I realize that lots of researchers would prefer to do descriptive or qualitative work in the CJ space, or to work in other policy areas entirely. I can’t help there, and do feel for you. But I can offer encouragement and support if you want to join us in testing what works in the crime/CJ space. There is lots of work to do here, and hunger from policymakers for new ideas that are actually effective.

I’ll link to our RFP below. If you’re a researcher interested in pivoting into this space/type of work, email me so that we can try to pull you into upcoming events/opportunities.

@jleytong @latercera La corte no dijo basicamente que las mujeres trans no tienen las mismas protecciones que otras mujeres, porque esas protecciones se refieren a sexo biologico?

@Strava can you go back to the square size for saving images? The default “IG story” size looks terrible.

[magdalena bennett @maibennett]

@Josh_Merfeld Yes, me too

[magdalena bennett @maibennett]

Suggestions on best (e.g. good performance, not crazy expensive) VMs where I could run some heavy, one-off, computations in R? I have a total of like 8T of data and I need to combine geospatial data by state (largest state is like 1T). Azure? AWS? All suggestions welcome #rstats

[magdalena bennett @maibennett]

@Josh_Merfeld Apparently, nope. I have access to one server, which is not the greatest and need something better.

[magdalena bennett @maibennett]

@jondr44 Congrats!! 🎉
