Git was 20 years old this week. Written by the creator of Linux as a tool to streamline his workflow - it shows the importance of making tools. If you have a better way of doing something, write and share it. It's possible that few others understand the problem, let alone have the solution you do!

relatedly, there's a nice paper showing that when a company changes from a CEO without a business degree to a new CEO with a business degree, sales stay the same but wages fall economics.mit.edu/sites/defaul...

Eclipse of Rent-Sharing: The Effects of Managers’ Business Education on Wages and the Labor Share in the US and Denmark

Daron Acemoglu, Alex Xi He, Daniel le Maire

March 2022


Abstract
This paper provides evidence from the US and Denmark that managers with a business degree (“business managers”) reduce their employees’ wages. Within five years of the appointment of a business manager, wages decline by 6% and the labor share by 5 percentage points in the US, and by 3% and 3 percentage points in Denmark. Firms appointing business managers are not on differential trends and do not enjoy higher output, investment, or employment growth thereafter. Using manager retirements and deaths and an IV strategy based on the diffusion of the practice of appointing business managers within industry, region and size quartile cells, we provide additional evidence that these are causal effects. We establish that the proximate cause of these (relative) wage effects are changes in rent-sharing practices following the appointment of business managers. Exploiting exogenous export demand shocks, we show that non-business managers share profits with their workers, whereas business managers do not. But consistent with our first set of results, these business managers show no greater ability to increase sales or profits in response to exporting opportunities. Finally, we use the influence of role models on college major choice to instrument for the decision to enroll in a business degree in Denmark and show that our estimates correspond to causal effects of practices and values acquired in business education—rather than the differential selection into business education of individuals unlikely to share rents with workers.

The GREATEST, most TREMENDOUS Python package that makes importing great again!
About
TARIFF is a fantastic tool that lets you impose import tariffs on Python packages. We're going to bring manufacturing BACK to your codebase by making foreign imports more EXPENSIVE!
Installation
pip install tariff
Usage
import tariff
# Set your tariff rates (package_name: percentage)
tariff.set({|
"numpy": 50,
"pandas": 200,
"requests": 150
# 50% tariff on numpy
# 200% tariff on pandas
# 150% tariff on requests
# Now when you import these packages, they'll be TARIFFED!
import numpy
# This will be 50% slower
import pandas # This will be 200% slower

Some thoughts on the strategic rationale behind the "Brandmauer” – the cordon sanitaire vis-à-vis the AfD – and the challenges associated with maintaining it. Seems pertinent, given that senior CDU/CSU figures regularly float the idea of ditching it and exploring avenues for closer cooperation.

For the full study www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...
Screenshot of the title and abstract to the linked study "Who Is Screened Out? Application Costs and the Targeting 
of Disability Programs", by Manasi Deshpande and Yue Li. The abstract reads:

"We study the effect of application costs on the targeting of disability programs. We identify these effects using the closings of 
Social Security Administration field offices, which provide assistance with filing disability applications. Closings lead to a persistent 16 percent decline in the number of disability recipients in surrounding areas, with the largest effects for applicants with moderately severe conditions and low education levels. Disability applications fall by only 10 percent, implying that the closings reduce targeting efficiency based on current eligibility standards. Increased congestion at neighboring offices appears more important as a channel than higher travel or information costs."

A pile of research shows that huge SUVs/pickups are a menace to public health. Oversized cars pulverize smaller ones in a crash, while their height enlarges blind spots and leads to pedestrians being struck in their head or torso rather than their legs. (US ped deaths recently hit a 40-year high.)

Panel 1:
Bearded man: "Dude, you're overreacting. How many years have you been in business?"
Older man: "30."

Panel 2:
Bearded man (shocked): "30 years!?"
Older man: "30 years of happy customers! Customers who sing your praises!"

Panel 3:
Bearded man (gesturing): "You can't let ONE stupid customer complaint get to you, just because they wrote it down!"

Bearded man (pointing upward): "Who cares! This one thing doesn’t define you!"

Panel 4
Bearded man (arms out confidently): "Everyone will always know: For top-notch copper, you buy from Ea-Nasir!"
Older man looks despondent, staring downward.
