RT @Cherwell_Online: “Some people claim a right not to be offended. And I think that's unfortunate."
Pieter Garicano sits down with Vice-Chancellor Professor Louise Richarson as she reflects on her time at Oxford.
RT @jcremer: @lugaricano I do not think @Twitter will die. I believe that @elonmusk will resell it within a year, and lose 75% of his investment.
He has better things to do with his time. He is a genius, but a genius ill-fitted to run a platform.
RT @paulnovosad: 8. Mastodon isn't ready, it's badly designed, it's unfun.
It's like the table of contents email from the Review of Economic Studies. It's probably interesting and you would learn something if you read it, but it's not *that* interesting and you're not going to.
1. El estado aumenta su contribución a la SS para todos los pensionistas: 38.904 millones.
2. En teoría, a los vascos les corresponde el 6% como mínimo.
3. Los vascos van a pagar 0. Cobran pero no pagan.
Ok al sistema foral. Pero que se aplique la fórmula

@ewzucker Thanks! Same here!
@instrumenthull World is coming to an end.
@ewzucker Thanks for the sympathy, Ezra ;-).
Boycott Tesla.
Everyone who promises not to buy a Tesla if The Man kills Twitter please RT.
RT @halhod: it’s an @duncanrobinson lede for the ages
@duncanrobinson Fantastic! Good luck in convincing accounting to pay for your drinks in the name of field research!
Si este sitio muere (parece probable) gracias a todos por los buenas discusiones, lo mucho que he aprendido, y las muchas amistades que he establecido.
Besos y abrazos.
Hubris, thy name is @elonmusk.
RT @alexeheath: Story to be updated soon with more: Am hearing that several “critical” infra engineering teams at Twitter have completely resigned. “You cannot run Twitter without this team,” one current engineer tells me of one such group. Also, Twitter has shut off badge access to its offices.
Only when the tide goes down you see who is swimming naked (Warren Buffet).
One more naked swimmer.
RT @carlquintanilla: (FT) - Masayoshi Son personally owes SoftBank close to $5bn because of growing losses on the Japanese conglomerate’s technology bets, which have also rendered the value of his stake in the group’s second Vision Fund worthless.

I agree with Ceccheti and Schoenholtz: better leave Crypto unregulated. If regulated, financial activity (both by banks and non-banks) would migrate to the crypto world and would ineviably become more risky and create more instability. https://on.ft.com/3tAUNTw
La explicación puede no ser la más cripto-moderna, sino una tan antigua como la humanidad: el dinero no está porque SBF lo ha robado.
RT @BitcoinMagazine: BREAKING - SBF's hedge fund Alameda lent $3.3 billion to SBF himself: Court Filing
RT @mattyglesias: FTX situation is worse than Enron, according to the guy who was in charge of the Enron resolution and has now been installed at FTX.
Robust defense of free speech in the parting interview of Oxford President ("vice-chancellor" in UK parlance). I wish that would become widerspread
- " all legal speech should be welcomed at universities."
- "Education is all about being uncomfortable". https://www.cherwell.org/2022/11/17/some-people-claim-a-right-not-to-be-offended-and-i-think-thats-unfortunate-vice-chancellor-professor-louise-richardson-in-conversation-with-cherwe…
RT @RobinBrooksIIF: We forecast -15% GDP growth for Russia earlier this year, assuming that the West would impose a full energy embargo. That didn't happen & Russia will only have a -4% contraction now. Ukraine is paying the price for that. Growth will be -34% in 2022 & another awful -15% in 2023.
Fascinating: a whole, self-incriminating interview of SBF with Vox via Twitter, last night. Bizarre, for someone with two parents who are Stanford Law profs.
