A beautiful result on the first try!
Feel free to tinker with the line to ask for any other chart.

Stigler wrote that demand for regulation comes from the industries that want protection. True in Crypto. (From Michael Lewis book.)
"He'd persuade the US to regulate crypto and punish those who violated the new rules, leaving FTX alone as a kind of teacher's pet"
True for AI?

The WSJ reconstructs the attack on the music festival. Enough brutality and inhumanity to pierce the moral blindness of some who call themselves progressives but are anything but. Everyone must watch it.

A good WSJ analysis.
Escalation seems almost inevitable. Israel cannot afford to be seen as weak, it would put its very existence at risk. Iran will not let its ally Hamas be eradicated.

Must read blog (and series of blogs!) by @JohnHCochrane on what we really know on the impact of interest rates on inflation.
Summary: very little.
A tiny thread on identification explaining the last blog with an analogy, specially for non-economists.

Re 2) The evidence is really really weak. Depending on your specification you get that chemo increases, leaves the same, or reduces cancer. Again, analysis from your colleague Dr. Valery R.

Great summary story from Luis Garicano. It starts with doctor F who says you can’t see how well the drug works because of long and variable lags…

Interesting paper. Finds more inertia, less variability when shopping online than offline. Appears to indicate higher switching cost (and hence barriers to entry) online.

The USA insane gun (and drug) policies are responsible for the violence engulfing Ecuador.
Mexico cannot win against the cartels while they have access to $$$ and guns from across the border.
Mexico militarized the response and the cartels militarized back, buying US weapons.

Example: "The rise in US gun sales to Guatemala has been among the steepest in the world. ... In just a few years the number of murders has risen. ... many on the receiving end ... are ill equipped to handle the influx"
