This sort of radical skepticism is generally unhelpful. It is simply not the case that the economics literature, on the whole, conveys no information. It conveys quite a bit, and often correctly answers a myriad of serious, useful, practical political questions. There are certainly edge cases that get a lot of attention upon which the data and consensus are split (e.g. minimum wage disemployment effects), but using those edge cases to disregard the research of an entire field (in favor of what, anyway?) is profoundly misguided.

Economic decisions have to be made by politicians. That is an unavoidable fact. They can either attempt to use the best data available to optimize the values that they care about...or they can just do whatever they feel is best, informed by, what? Their gut? Their down home common sense?

Just a tiny data structure I made for building magic squares in Python. I built it today afternoon and am planning on adding more features when I get time.
1) 20% is a lot, moreover, others will join, and the US will strong arm others into playing.

2) China has little with which to retaliate. They can do whatever they want to 'American farmers' it won't matter because it's just a commodity: China will buy it's soy beans from Brazil, and Brazil's other customers will buy from the US. It'll have a null effect.

China is right now creating the biggest debt bubble the world has ever seen and it's scary - we don't know where they are going to go next.

See, in 2004 they had so much upside in front of them - but now ... it's not so clear.

I think we're going to see China grow at a more regular rate of 4% and that in the end, nothing existential will come of this trade war. It will hurt China a little worse than the US but it's not like we're going to see a fundamental shift in anything.
Hereby I declare, with great emphasis on the words I am writing at this precise moment, that the idea expressed in your previous comment regarding the possibility of condensing written expression to be more succinct while, at the same time, preserving the meaning inherently given to it in its original incarnation... oh, I reached the quota. Done! :)

TL;DR: I strongly disagree with your first phrase.

This is what GP was hinting at. This technique (well, a subtler approach) is very common among students to reach quotas.

Communication is unfortunately composed of both meaning and fluff (sometimes even only fluff, disguised as meaning under the name of "long-form writing").

Removing the fluff while preserving meaning is a skill, not something to avoid to reach an artificial metric.

Quotas are just a lazy assessing technique.
"China doesn’t want foreign companies selling cheap goods in China so essentially everything needs to be imported even if it’s manufactured down the street from you in China."

It is possible to buy good products cheap. But there you need to be smart, smarter than I am, and have contacts. A sub contractor might sell excess product under the table for cheap if you know where to find it (I don't).

chinalawblog.com had an article why you should always have your production samples shipped to you and never have any sample batch "destroyed" by your manufacturer. They may just sell it under the table. So you may be able to buy a REAL Gucci bag that was designed by Gucci bad was never available on the market with this kind of design. Really rare. :-)
> But many of these people have sufficient mobility that you have to remain under the tax level of your competition.

Not really. Puerto Rico has no real competition. It's the only place you can live inside of the US without paying federal income tax. If Puerto Rico were to raise its local tax, to say, 10%, it would still be the lowest overall tax jurisdiction in the US by a mile.

No, because the point is that "most readers" are male. The advertisement should be unisex. If a woman picks up that journal - whether just looking for want ads or because they are legitimately interested in the topic - they should be considered with complete equity to any male candidate. The point isn't where you advertise, it's if you target. You can target by geography. You can target by education. You can't target by sex.
I used to work at a startup and got fired. I always wanted to try freelancing but didn't have the courage to leave a well paying full-time job and take the risk. This gave me that opportunity.

My family wanted me to take another job but I asked for 3 months and if I couldn't earn equal to my last salary I would take up a job.

It was very hard in the beginning, I emailed people, posted on social forums but the response rate was very low(we all know that now) which was again emotionally challenging.

I had a good profile working with Ruby and JavaScript so some of my clients got interested. And I still work with them it has been almost a year.

@ageitgey said a very good thing about finding the good client, which stays longer and pay well.

I have also realised that in the freelance world the turnaround time is slightly high. What I mean by that is even after a client says yes, it takes almost 15 to 30 days before you really get started.

That's my story!

"how would we lose in that scenario?"

Trade is usually 'win win'. So when there's less trade, there's less 'winning' on both sides.

Imagine if Chia is the sole source of Silk, and the US is the sole source of Rubber.

If the US 'wins' a trade war with China by doing more damage to then, but there is less trade ... well then there is unmet/latent demand in the US for Silk and in China for Rubber that is not met, which is an economic loss.

That said - trade needs to be in fair terms or it doesn't work. If one side cheats, they can suck all of the 'win' out of the 'win win' for themselves.
Yes, that's what IPLD (https://ipld.io/) is for and more. It's used in IPFS to do links between files in IPFS and also links between files and other formats like Git or Ethereum transactions.

You can see the data structure itself if you use the `ipfs object` commands:

I came across this tweet[0] the other day and in the replies there seemed to be many discussions sparked around the legalities of advertising / hiring based on immutable traits. From what I could gather (not a lawyer) based on what laws people were citing, is that it's "okay" to advertise in this manor, however it is not legal to actually make the hire taking into account these traits.

In the case of this tweet, I'm not sure how I feel about this, as it's clear what their goal is:

> empower and train black Computer Science students to land their first job

which seems fine. However this goal can't be achieved if a white person ends up being hired. So does the ad imply that they will only hire a black computer science student? It seems like a bit of a grey area to me.

And while I understand the article linked is about targeting only men for jobs and not for people of colour, they are similar on the basis that it is traits we have no control over.

One other point I'd like to make here, is that IF people see this as Facebook "allowing" to filter by immutable traits, in this case Twitter is essentially doing the same, by allowing these kinds of posts.

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this.

As a side note in this debate : the choice isn't between selfish people that wants to make money and nice caring people sharing water for free. You can have both of it : no price cap => free marketer and good samaritans supply water from the exterior of the zone AND the state helps poor people / those who can afford to buy more bottles can share them with their poor neighbors (might even pay them back later in their life if they make it : arrangement between people is not the concern of the water supplier).
> If you commit a crime because somebody else asked you to do it, does that mean you didn’t break the law?

In many cases, the answer is no, you did not break the law.

The best example I have of this is DMCA, and copywrite law. It is perfectly legal for youtube to allow users to upload content that they don't have the rights to, as long as they follow the DMCA takedown process if requested.

Or to give another example, think about your phone lines. I am sure that many users engage in illegal behavior over the phone. But it is not the job of the phone company to listen in on your phone calls, to ensure that you are, I don't know, engaging in harassment or some other illegal phone activity.

Never met a great manager, the least harmful were smart/dumb enough not to interfere with the day-to-day work too much and let the people do their job. I'm still skeptical of the value added by m&ms.
Not quite.

The demand for Soybeans globally has not changed.

Tariffs in China really will just mean that buyers and sellers will shift around.

Chinese will now buy Soy from Brazil, thus avoiding tariffs, and rather than buying more expensive Soy beans from Brazil (because of more demand), those other buyers will shift to buy from the US.

Chinese tariffs on commodity goods won't have an effect if there a good number of buyers and suppliers.
I read an interesting twist on perfectionism: try to the "perfect compromise". Quality has multiple dimensions and you can't optimize all of them perfectly. Instead, choose which dimension is actually most important for the current problem and prioritize it.
Are you talking about Automotive Safety Integrity Level? If so, how does this have anything to do with ASLR?
A good manager will know that s/he will be given credit for good work. Letting the team (especially junior members) lets them take ownership and pride in their work. And some nice words from the senior level present in the room always goes down well, which keeps the team happy.

I don't think it's a fair to compare an internal demo of a team's work to colleagues with an external demo of a company's products to journalists and the public. To take your reasoning: marketing and sales should also be done by engineers, which is not the case.
> A society where american mega-corporations are dominating while avoiding taxes kills competition because smaller competitors don't have the same advantages.

Here is an idea: remove the taxes so everyone is on an even playing field.

One of the worst example of this is in France is the crédit recherche, meant to help R&D. But you need people who know the system to get this money so who get it? Huge CAC40 companies like Orange. The small companies? They pay the taxes for this so the bigger ones can enjoy their money.

The game template supplies the available events/action/value. The Game Creator guides you through the available options supplied by the template. It then tries to use a human speech like interface to receive the input, the game logic. Currently there is only one game template. Each new game template would need to supply it's own possible events/actions/values to suit it's needs.

A game template looks something like this: https://gist.github.com/jamesfdickinson/65b9f5a05f4902468c46...
> only a statistically non-significant protective effect

I don't think this phrasing makes sense. A particular study may find a positive effect but with p>0.05, but that depends as much on the size of the study as on the effect itself.

People here need to be reminded that a job ad is not the same as a product ad. A job is what you do with your life, not some stuff you may want to buy.

Society tells you: you should get a career and climb up the social ladder. Don't worry, every one has the same chances. But then the same society goes around your back and only tells your male friends that there may be an opportunity here or there? wtf?

If I was a female developer, or a male nurse, I'd be fucking furious to know that this was happening.

There are definitely some jobs that require the person to be male or female, or white, or jewish, or old, whatever. But that's not the norm. Whether or not it is a Facebook duty to remove the box is debatable, but if you are a recruiter and you tick the male box, you're clearly open to lawsuits.
Of course it is reasonable, so do that. Pursue them through the WTO or talk to your allies about reforming the WTO if it isn't working to your satisfaction, or scrap the WTO and build something better. If you believe in a global free trade system then build one. The US isn't doing any of that.

I have little to no sympathy for China, but I do believe in equitable free trade based on consensus, a common rulebook and independent arbitration. It's served us very well and even with Chinese protectionism, which they have been gradually rolling back, the US and the rest of the world has profited from it. The economic issues in the West over the last 10 years were entirely home-grown and if anything trade with China has been a resilient economic buffer that's helped us cope with the financial crisis (if unintentionally). Blaming them for all our woes is just a distraction.
>Why do we think that way when we're young, that we're immune to damage?

Probably overprotection by parents. When I was a kid I was left alone with my friends with no parents supervision a lot.

We did very risky things and risked our lives several times, but in controlled and normal environments like climbing trees and going to the mountain. When something went wrong you will get painful feedback like bruises. But you knew what your limits were.

Quite interesting, those children that had their parents forbidding them to go with us actually had traumatic experiences later in life, once they were free from their parents. They will buy a motorcycle or car, take risks and die or almost die.

It was like they lacked the experience we had and replicated it, but with machines in non humane environments. Instead of bruises they will crash a very expensive car.

The best CTO I worked with, ran a meritocracy. The freshest low level hire could come up to this guy and disagree with him, and he would listen to their arguments and accept them if they were compelling.

He had all the usual requisite skills, but his passion for technology and willingness to be proven wrong were instrumental to the success of the company. We were able to iterate quickly and find workable solutions to big problems because the CTO created a culture of facts over status and an environment where everyone could safely express their ideas, no matter how stupid, so that the best idea may win.
I sincerely hope you are wrong, even if I understand your point. On the other hand, the case would still be just as open-and-shut. Violating both the law and EEOC regulation doesn't matter if you're doing it for one side or the other. Unless you can prove that sex is a BFOQ, you are not allowed to recruit or advertise in a way that weights the job on one side of the scale or the other.

There were sidewalks, but only for a limited range around certain landmarks (malls, hotel, etc). I managed to cross an eight-lane street, but that section (with malls) was also closed off to the next 'island' (i.e. the sidewalk stopped. There were some car-only tunnels here and there also.) All those islands, and only cars could go between them. Yeah, quite similar to what poster @ghaff described in a post below.
But why bake this stuff into the certificate in this scenario?

If Alice is only going to check any of this long afterwards it doesn't need to be part of the X.509 certificates issued for the Web PKI, Alice can check in any number of ways which business it is that she thinks ripped her off.

Of course since she waited until after she was ripped off it may be that it's a company with no practical presence in her country and she can't do anything about it anyway. But EV doesn't make any difference there.
Suppose I determine that advertising my software developer position to white people provides a better return than to black people. Wouldn't it be unfair to only advertise to whites?

In some ways this is similar to how an employer cannot ask a potential employee if she is pregnant. Allowing the question might maximise the company's profit but would be considered unfair to women.
Surprise! Advertising is evil as an industry and violates the few good pieces of law we have to benefit everyone, not just those in power!
Why Tokyo's Privately Owned Rail Systems Work So Well (2011)
The hinting of Times Newer Roman is completely different, a lot fuzzier, and leads to inconsistent letter heights. On Linux (with TTF bytecode enabled) I can easily see the difference at their sample "side-by-side comparison". Maybe not on Mac.

Additionally the x-height of Newer feels larger. Upon reading the page, I learned: "The x–height (2) of all lowercase letters has been increased by about 5% so that they sit wider at the same point size."

Times Newer Roman is basically the same thing as STIX Two Text.
