    An Operation Warp Speed for Nasal Vaccines - Marginal REVOLUTION - 2 year(s) ago

    I have been pushing for more funding for nasal vaccines since early last year including in my Congressional testimony. The Washington Post reports that the idea is gaining traction among scientists but funding is limited: As the omicron variant of the coronavirus moved lightning-fast around the world, it revealed an unsettling truth. The virus had […]

    How to find good TV shows - Marginal REVOLUTION - 2 year(s) ago

    Chris asks: You’ve written a lot about your reading habits in the past, but I’m curious to know more about how you find and watch TV shows. You’ve mentioned before that you watch very little TV (in explaining your productivity), and yet you speak highly of the shows you do watch. Do you have any […]

      “Most TV shows are not good. The key problems are that too much quality scripting is required, and that the incentives are to try to get the show extended for another season.” Mini-series FTW https://t.co/DphqCQVFT5

    The real conspiracy theory - Marginal REVOLUTION - 2 year(s) ago

    Read it here.  No, this was not a conspiracy in the strictest, most intentional sense (it didn’t need to be!), but it did kill thousands of people and manipulate our politics… C’mon, people, let’s not be afraid to admit this one.

    Software is Eating the World-Tesla Edition - Marginal REVOLUTION - 2 year(s) ago

    Last week Consumer Reports refused to recommend Tesla’s Model 3 because it discovered lengthy braking distances. This week Consumer Reports changed their review to recommend after Tesla improved braking distance by nearly 20 feet with an over the air software update! Last week, after CR’s road test was published, Tesla CEO Elon Musk vowed that […]

      So: should labs statistically adjust for temperature? That could improve precision at very low cost vs buying new tech— a bit like Tesla improving braking with software, not hardware: https://t.co/0dQ2XhcI6Q (recent Tesla braking problems have shown this needs extreme care!)

    Why the New Pollution Literature is Credible - Marginal REVOLUTION - 2 year(s) ago

    My recent post, Air Pollution Reduces Health and Wealth drew some pushback in the comments, some justified, some not, on whether the results of these studies are not subject to p-hacking, forking gardens and the replication crisis. Sure, of course, some of them are. Andrew Gelman, for example, has some justified doubt about the air […]

    The Scientific Cost of Immigrant Quotas - Marginal REVOLUTION - 3 year(s) ago

    In the 1920s immigration to the United States was restricted with quotas which were designed to reduce the number of immigrants from Italy and Eastern Europe, then considered to be low-quality immigrants. One unintended consequence was that the number of immigrant scientists from these areas also declined. The awesome Petra Moser and Schmuel San have […]

    By any other name - Marginal REVOLUTION - 3 year(s) ago

    The Northern Territory’s Covid-19 outbreak is expected to grow beyond locked-down areas after nine new cases were detected in the remote community of Binjari, about 320km south of Darwin. Binjari and nearby Rockhole have been placed into strict lockdown in response to the outbreak, and the Australian defence force has been called in to help […]
