Agreed, but unfortunately for someone our students’ age the 1990s are as far as the 1960s/1970s were for us, making it easier for them to pool the entire time period… and I also blame Spotify for mixing eras in a lot of rock playlists.

I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis: open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...

How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across London’s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it

I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.

This 👆. Has anyone figured this out? potentially big matching efficiency effects if people believe mkt is down… ie, lower ranked schools being too aggressive, candidates being insufficiently selective, etc.

2/2 Perhaps the bigger issue is “econ culture” as a whole - which rewards/incentivizes “complete” papers that give iron-clad answers with perfect methodology and data, over more incremental/imperfect research.

Daniel Ershov @ershovd.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

1/2 System as a whole (ie, academia) worked, but more narrow Econ ref process didn’t. Unfortunately, seems very hard to pick up, aside from the unrealistic (in retrospect) amount of work for a 2nd yr PhD.

Pornhub's removal of all non-verified content led to a 41% drop in traffic within 1 month. Much of the displaced traffic was absorbed by competing platforms, including less regulated fringe websites (+55% visits) and mainstream competitors (+10%). papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Agreed, though there are questions about how well the specialized model stays “consistent” to course content/intent [which (a) is again unrelated to the nutty replies, (b) is a question that can also be asked about human TAs, and (c) will surely improve over time].
