@GuthmannR Aquilo tava longe de ser "robust economic growth", não? Concordo que menos incerteza a respeito da trajetória fiscal ajuda, mas só isso aí também tem suas nuances. Tem quase infinitas formas de tornar o déficit um superávit, cada uma com diferentes impactos

@alz_zyd_ Almost all remakes of classics substantially change gameplay (Resident Evil remakes, for example). Unlike Movies/TV, remaking old games makes some sense because many look/feel janky or are even inaccessible these days.

@jt_kerwin (I dreaded that part of the story when I read it the first time)

[Pedro Tanure Veloso @ptanurev]

@jt_kerwin Bombadil is not in the book to move the plot, but to hint that there's more to the world than the main story suggests. And also Tolkien's most important statement about power

@omzidar Do you have this plot by parental income decile/quartile?

[Pedro Tanure Veloso @ptanurev]

@Mrsean135123 @RossSchumann @markmobility Again, that’s not true. Inflation is defined as a generalized increase in prices (and the opposite for deflation). Money supply and inflation are generally connected, but monetary expansion/contractions are not per se inflation/deflation

[Pedro Tanure Veloso @ptanurev]

@Mrsean135123 @RossSchumann @markmobility Not really

[Pedro Tanure Veloso @ptanurev]

@RossSchumann @markmobility Inflation coming down just means that prices go up at a lower rate than before. If prices went down, that would be deflation

@BrandonLuuMD Great thread, though I don’t agree with the recommendation to stop smoking weed based on the findings. Such recommendation requires taking into account not only more evidence on long-term effects, as you pointed out, but also a myriad of other factors not covered by the study

@FBBotelho @lmonasterio @lmonasterio não me lembro de nenhum paper em que o efeito amenidade domina

[Pedro Tanure Veloso @ptanurev]

@FBBotelho @lmonasterio Um contra-argumento que às vezes é útil é só exagerar o aumento da oferta: se alguém acha que subir um prédio de 5 andares aumenta o custo local de moradia, quanto subiria o custo se no lugar subisse um de 100? Em geral é mais difícil defender a posição nesse cenário hipotético

[Pedro Tanure Veloso @ptanurev]

@FBBotelho @lmonasterio Acho que alguns têm uma ideia que o efeito amenidade (prédio novo, lugar fica mais bonito etc) é mais forte que o aumento da oferta, então preços sobem. Não é uma hipótese totalmente absurda, só que a grande maioria da evidência empírica não corrobora isso

@SFMTA_Muni Thank you! Looking forward to see this fixed 🙂

[Pedro Tanure Veloso @ptanurev]

@SFMTA_Muni what’s up with the westbound notifications for the J at Embarcadero? The panel says it’s arriving in 2 minutes, then it disappears from the list of upcoming trains. 7 minutes later, a J suddenly arrives. It’s been like this for weeks

[Pedro Tanure Veloso @ptanurev]

@SFMTA_Muni Around 5:30 pm today. Same thing last week and the previous one
