How do you inspect an option when you know they're informed and care about being ultimately selected?

@NoLayingUp How is Wyndham Clark's putting legal?

@NoLayingUp Wyndham Clarks putting: scummy out of 10? Bloke is slow AF; addresses while his caddie gives him feedback on the line from behind.

No matter how many times it is killed, the labor theory of value rises from the dead.

I just heard that 1st year PhD students in Econ at MIT no longer need to take a full year of macro. This should be a wakeup call for macro, lest this turn into a new trend. Some (perhaps controversial) thoughts. 1/

@AndyTFE Alley Cat, got spooked today and legged it!

This will surprise you: sine and cosine are orthogonal to each other.

What does orthogonality even mean for functions? In this thread, we'll use the superpower of abstraction to go far beyond our intuition.

We'll also revolutionize science on the way.

I was remarking the other day how fantastic George Harrison was & the improbable fact that he was in a band with McCartney & Lennon and spouse rightly said "Yeah, it's really surprising that the best rock band of all time contained multiple world-class talents"

For the last month I've been reporting on a group of people who travel across America blocking wind and solar projects.

This group has passed clean energy opposition laws in states across the country.

Here's the story of one man who has been doing this for 10+ years.

This doesn’t seem like a good way for a news source to report on Trump’s announcement

@MarkFabian_PAIS Love this! It still fluctuates each week; got to find a way to let the job market know ... a gif perhaps 🤣

@ben_golub : am I doing this right?

[Nawaaz Khalfan @nskhalfan]

I really enjoyed discussing this with the non-technical folk who got in touch with me, so I've expanded it out a little to fill in some of the details. It's now on my website, feel free to "inspect". 👀

gonna start my job talk like this, don't @ me

[Helen Czerski @helenczerski]

A friend has just shown me this book "Calculus made easy", published in 1914, and I think it's got one of the best prologues I've ever seen. This is *exactly* what textbooks should be doing. And they should all be honest about how terrifying the topic names are too.
