Interesting! I’m the opposite. Proposed, moved countries, quit two excellent jobs on a whim.

Not that it matters, but in the tech and philanthropy scene in NYC you come across many people who have worked with Bloomberg. An awful lot of them speak very highly of him, “the real deal” &c. It’s fairly uncommon for people to adore their boss, so I find this informative.

The going rate in Manhattan is 15% of the first year’s rent up front. Other boroughs it’s more like 8-10%. It’s a big change!

But also, whose interest are they representing in the new arrangement? My first broker here was excellent. Got $300 off the asking rent, which I did not know was a thing you could do (I come from a city where applicants bid up the rent, rather than negotiating down).

What do you mean by "separate weights"? I'm not sure what weights mean if you don't know what the target is. Is MrP an option? That way you'd only have to generate weights for the relative probability of an obs in one smpl vs another, and can post-stratify to any target later.

The Indonesian finance ministry’s reforms under Sri Mulyani might be interesting. Can’t find much on the subway but @ozecon or @DavidSligar might have refs.

The unwillingness of Americans to solve the transport problems in literally all their major cities is a collective action failure of staggering proportions. What is the social cost of traffic in the US each year? Does there exist a more costly social problem in America today?

What a gorgeous sight to see 😍
These emus are enjoying today's heavy rains over bushfire-ravaged #KangarooIsland. Bev says: "Our emus are ecstatic. Guess what - we just had a big rain, this pond was dry as a bone two hours ago".

Rubbish. Anyone can join their local branch, spend years or decades stacking it with new Australians and geriatrics, build folios of dirt on their factional opponents, deliver local government contracts to others who’ve done the same and get votes at the state party conference.

Tonight I learned that Dolly Parton’s charity is helping to fund an RCT of a books-for-kids intervention in Northern England. What a treasure she is. Ht @ae_fernandes

One for the data-for-good crowd: my old mate Nick is hiring in Beirut/Amman for a crisis analytics person. Looks like valuable work. jobs.jobvite.com/mercycorps/job…

Imagine that we privatized non-primary streets. Local + service vehicles only, bollarded. Residents would love it, but it would make driving impossible.
I wonder if there’s a lesson here about the role of private groups in the death of Facebook? Will DM groups kill Twitter?
