“Before considering the implications for Europe of what Vance said, we should pause to note its deep hypocrisy. Trump attempted to overthrow the 2020 US presidential election. And his vice-president presumes to lecture Europeans about respect for democracy?” on.ft.com/4b2uPNM

So, European Politicians, can we talk about something please. It's been 3 weeks of Trump and it's been brutal. This the key moment where Europe rises to the historic occasion and finally takes its destiny into it's own hands. We fail this time, we fail big. I'm waiting. #Zeitenwende ?

Due to this idiotic statement, by a person who has proven his inability to distinguish truth from online propaganda, I just donated to Wikipedia. Please do the same.

Donating to Wikipedia is rational unless you are called Elon Musk.

I often think of #rstats as that imaginary funny uncle. Friendly, in general, bit aged but still in good shape. Sailor's tattoos. He's been places, and he had to make decisions. Like, ask him why the `L` in `3L` means that 3 is an integer: stackoverflow.com/a/22192378/1...

@alanbeattie.bsky.social has an impersonator. Pretty poor job tbh, they wanted to share their recent success in crypto trading with me. Can't be the real one right?

My number one advice for #econsky researchers: never - EVER - make a table by hand. Why? You will forget to update it. Use a tool. Look at this incredible tool here for example 👇

I go back and forth between "but the model says we can't solve the whole intermittency problem with batteries" and "maybe the intermittency problem just gets solved with capitalism and batteries". This is evidence for the latter.

My current use of Make is far better than what I posted years ago. I just rewrote the Makefiles for Dingel & Neiman (2020), so now they're a nice example what I describe in github.com/jdingel/proj.... See github.com/jdingel/Ding... Why you need Make: tradediversion.net/2019/11/06/w... #econsky
