Read Miran’s paper.

Read the Miran paper. It’s not about imbalances. It’s about negotiating leverage. Australia in particular is going to be the most interesting case in the world. Strategically, Aust…

Because Trump himself isn’t really that smart? Like I said, he takes the advice of the last person who talks to him. He’s very suggestible. The best parts of his presidency, so far…

And yet the near-term interest is to keep buying Volkswagens from Hitler.

I agree with you, but I also think you have this idea that trade is currently governed by largely linear and symmetric rules in Ricardian harmony, and that just isn’t the case. Eve…

Give up your whole notion of “should”. There is no “should”. The formula is for aligning incentives. It’s no longer enough for other govts to claim compliance with abstract require…

If you read Miran's paper, the point of the tariffs is to bring US trade partners to the table to negotiate the alliance, so really they could be anything at all. It could have bee…

For the record, I'm not really sure how I feel about this plan. Free trade with China uplifted 700 million people (in China) from poverty. OTOH, if you believe that China is basica…

I don't know about incompetent - there's plenty of smart people around Trump. The big problem seems to be that they all kind of disagree with each other and Trump ends up doing wha…

Yes, this is the Triffin Trap or the Triffin Dilemma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triffin_dilemma

Just as an aside, I love the term, “made out of snail.” Is this a Swedish idiom?

Maybe they’ve fixed this since then. I haven’t looked at darcs in AGES.

I used Darcs a long time ago and what I remember was that because it reordered patches, it was actually quite difficult to do a bisect to find a patch that broke a build. Unlike gi…

Ah yes - the weird one was PC not zero. Anyhoo, all of these mistakes were fixed with Arm64.

Sadly, no. 32-bit ARM only has 16 GPR’s (two of which are zero and link), mostly because of the stupid predication bits in the instruction encoding. That said, I don’t know how val…

The thin end of the wedge. The epistemic supply-chain needs grooming to achieve information purity. If you support this idiocy, let me assure you that eventually it will be used ag…

.local is used by mdns so your .local machines can conflict with discoverable devices and services. I guess they wanted something that wouldn't conflict?

At some point I guess Apple will have to give up the 30% and instead charge more directly for their costs associated with running the App Store, namely hosting costs (probably very…

Duverger’s Law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger's_law

Make larger routing tables. Brilliant! Why didn’t we think of that?!? MOARE TCAMS!!!

I remember back in the 80’s when we were all witness to Japan’s economic miracle. Some said it was the tightly managed Keiretsu supply system, some said it was MITI, some said that…

I don’t think that Jewish organizations like Birthright discriminate. They want all Jews to have children. I can’t think of anything equivalent to Birthright that operates on a nat…

I suspect that men are more likely to link education to income and opportunities - and the ROI for a lot of degrees has plummeted as tuition has increased. I don’t think women are …

Not time trend - category trend. The dataset shows that the less education you have the less likely it is you’ll be married at 40.

Yeah the python and rust devs will be pretty crestfallen too. All that wasted effort for all of these failed projects!
