This x100. Business degrees are cheap to run, easy to run badly, and face seemingly inexhaustible demand

Something grimly predictable about the way that the conversation about 'ripoff degrees' in the UK is always about degrees that aren't rip-offs, but are instead fairly obvious 'this student has chosen something unlikely to pay off economically' rather than the short tail of crap business degrees:
Everyone needs educating in the fight over university degrees
Political confusion over the purpose of these institutions means the obvious fixes are being neglected

Very happy to be able to share the polling-level dataset on Indian Parliamentary Elections 2009, 2014, 2019 that we have been working on for more than a decade. Both the data and the data descriptor are open access: rdcu.be/eujHH

This is particularly interesting since I thought the beta-amyloid hypothesis was on a shoogly peg, in part because of faked data

🧠 Alzheimer’s reversed in mice

A new study found that injecting nanoparticles can 'remind' the blood–brain barrier to function properly again, restoring normal brain activity in mice. Human trials could follow within years.

I disagree. It's possible that there's a representation / accountability trade-off, but 1/3rd votes => 2/3rds of the seats is world-leading (and not in a good way) chrishanretty.co.uk/posts/single...

TRS is less majoritarian than FPTP, but it sounds like your real objection is too parliaments with lots of parties. You can reduce the chances of that happening with majoritarian systems, but it's not a guarantee, especially in larger parliaments

But... France doesn't have PR! The two round system is a majoritarian system.

Coalition bargaining in France right now is weird because no one wants the Pyrhhic victory of governing until the next presidential elections. But that seems to be quite an unusual set of circumstances.

Psephologist Sir John Curtice told a Demos-sponsored event at the Conservative Party conference fringe that the Lib Dems “will almost undoubtedly win more seats” than the Tories at the next GE.

“The LD vote is now more geographically concentrated than your vote.”

I was thinking what the RCT design is. It's probably quite expensive. I don't think there's a natural experiment here or anywhere unless there are some very racist planning regulations restricting the opening of restaurants serving non-indigenous food.

Country/region is a numeric variable which has Scotland as being six times greater than Northern England. Whilst I agree with the sentiment, the fact that a lecturer in quantitative methods has just dumped this variable in a regression without thinking... smdh

Lots of redundant variables in the data, numeric codes (1=rural; 2 = suburban; 3 = urban) included as though continuous... Yep, checks out!

Tragic news from Canada where the Canadian Supreme Court has gone from the official dress on the left to the one on the right
Canadian Supreme court. Everyone is dressed in bright red wooly gowns, with a beige trim. It looks sort of like a Santa robe The Canadian Supreme court. Everyone is dressed in black gowns with a bright white kravat, and two thin red vertical lines on the side of the robe
