God I hate default reddit. This thread is such a disaster. I find it so strange how they can so strongly support someone like Sanders, yet be so gosh darn bigoted.

It's a modular conspiracy that you posted first.

I know when the sticky drops but I just so happened to see this without any comments. I don't have a calendar with when all the stickies show up.

It's not even 10PM on the 29th in the One True Time Zone! If we'd listened and elected Ron Paul, our reptilian overlords would never have been able to do this to us.

A reclusive billionaire approaches you and asks you to write a brief of a party platform for policy wonks and econ professors. What bullet points do you give him? Not necessarily limited to economics.

Observations about second year grad school versus first year grad school:

  1. Metrics is way more important now
  2. Reading actual papers that touch on the real world is a nice change of pace.
  3. The stress from having quals looming in the horizon really was massive. I have a comparable amount of work but am way less stressed.
  4. But I somehow haven't escaped tests yet.

I know TTIP and TISA aren't likely to be as bad as commonly thought, but would is the first thing TISA says in the financial services annex saying it should declassified

Five years from entry into force of the TISA agreement or, if no agreement enters into force, five years from the close of the negotiations.

I can't really see the benefit of that; either it doesn't need ratified by the parties, and then organisations in each country can't possibly comply with it, as they don't know what's it in, or it sits doing nothing for five years. We won't know how the agreement is ever finished until 5 years after.
