I have a very funny joke about convex preferences. I made it up by combining two less funny jokes.

The interesting thing is not that the 20% probability event occurred but that the probabilities did not continuously converge to the correct outcome. Until the last second market was not only putting strictly positive probability on the wrong outcome, this probability was 60%!

I thought it meant passing up the three point shot.

This recent fraud case is also a cautionary tale for any research based on proprietary data source.

Sad news. I overlapped with Pat for a year at Michigan. He managed to supervise PhD students during his short time there and made an impact.

The upcoming crisis is so needlessly self inflicted. You cannot replace actual experts with pseudo-experts and believe that nothing will go wrong. Would you accept medical treatment from your barber however good he or she is at cutting your hair?

Soon we will discover that markets don’t care about demagoguery on podcasts by know it alls.

To be fair (and I have no idea who he is) he is not asking what comparative advantage is. He is asking why it would lead to trade deficit which seems to be a fair question.

All that will happen is that consumers will experience higher prices and/or lower quality products.

It will take a long time for the industries to recover if at all, and if they do they will most likely still be not competitive since whatever the underlying structural reasons that they failed in the first place will still be there.

The most difficult part of moving from a protectionist trade environment to one without trade barriers is the transition where industries that can’t compete lay off workers. But once that transition is complete, going back to protectionism won’t bring those jobs back.

Watch out. There is a new tariff in town.

There is a world of difference between finite, countable infinite and continuum. If you don’t believe me ask Cantor.

Boeing and Intel each had one major competitor (AirBus and TSMC). They are both losing market share to competition. And it has little to do with trade barriers. Instead of focusing on tariffs, government should ask why these big manufacturers are losing out to competitors.

It was joke playing on the fact that the post is about worrying about worrying.

Technically it can be true. Just means outflows of immigrants.

It seems to me that you are over-worrying about over-worriers.

Presidential pardons seem to be a questionable part of the US constitution. It is a reminder that constitution is a document written by humans under the constraints of its day.

I also put algebra there that I don't want to delete (in case I want to recall my steps) but I don't want others to see.

What they are doing is something like seeing that your kitchen tap is dripping and cutting off water from the whole house and blowing up your kitchen. Obviously every large and complex enough system has inefficiencies but the way to correct them is not to destroy the entire system.
