Given the acceleration Anthropic is reporting in coding, it is amazing that you still cannot change your email address in Claude and the official advice is that if you need to change your email the only way to do that is delete your account.

My favorite fact is that no one’s name ever got changed at Ellis Island because it makes people *absolutely furious.*

A guaranteed tuition offer shifted low-income students into a top university. The students graduated sooner and earned more selective degrees, narrowing the gap with higher-income peers, from Elizabeth Burland, Nora Delaney, @dynarski, Katherine B.

go watch New York: A Documentary Film now
A tremendous loss for NYC: Mike Wallace, maybe the most significant NYC historian to ever live, has passed away. His “Gotham” trilogy is the most thorough social history of the city ever written. There will never be another like him. May he Rest In Peace. nytimes.com/2026/07/05/books…

The Stata command lwdid is now available on SSC -- it implements Lee and Wooldridge (2025) rolling DiD estimators. The methods are described here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.… We provide methods similar to, and motivated by, Callaway and Sant'Anna (2021, Journal of Econometrics).

The Washington Post has the best sports section in the country, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. Only a soulless corporate goon would think the paper is better without it. A short-sighted, cowardly decision. Shame is your legacy.

Adding Deno and Node.js creator Ryan Dahl to the growing chorus Software developers add WAY more value than memorizing the syntax trivia of the languages they use It's time to lean into that everything-else and cede putting semicolons in the right places to the robots
This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.

College grads from low-income families earn much less than their high-income peers. The differences in the first job post-college explain nearly 2/3 of the earnings gap, from @jscottclayton, Veronica Minaya, C.J. Libassi, and Joshua K.R. Thomas nber.org/papers/w34366

“Paige Against The Machine” That's what they called our campaign against Scranton's corrupt machine. I ran as an independent, won, and we kept going. We’ve reformed government and worked hard for people. Our current Congressman falls… a bit short, so we're taking our fight to DC

I'm learning the true Hanlon's razor is: never attribute to malice or incompetence that which is best explained by someone being a bit overstretched but intending to get around to it as soon as they possibly can.

Tuition caps or freezes in #highered are supposed to lower costs for students -- but a @PEERResearch brief by scholars Lois Miller and Minseon Park explains why that's not always the case. american.edu/spa/peer/upload…

I've worked closely with Erika. I know of no economist who is more data-focused & devoted to truth in statistics. She never shied from speaking truth to power when the data were disappointing. Nothing would be worse for US credibility than political meddling in our economic data.
Donald J. Trump Truth Social 08.01.25 02:09 PM EST I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!
