A Federal Rule about the Decennial Census would eliminate race/ethnicity questions, alter the timing for ?s on people's usual residence, restrict use of some disclosure avoidance rules, and prohibit questions on sexual orientation (not asked now). Comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/US...

It has always been true that if one wanted to cheat on a test, one could find a way. Is this low cost new or have we just always been oblivious of these options?

This is not exactly new technology. I did not realize how relatively affordable this technology had become, though.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

And politicizing means that direction will change abruptly with administration. So no consistent path over decades making it even easier to ignore.

I heard Dr Bhattacharya discuss the new direction of NIH with the aim of amending the scientific endeavor. While some of it sounds good I am not sure NIH or any other agency has the power to make the change. At least I don’t see review panels implementing the change.

Also, found out, bread bakeries must obtain municipal approval to take vacation (i.e. close) as the municipality coordinates to make sure that denizens have reasonable distance access to bakery at all times.

Incidentally the price of baguette is set by bakers to below cost as a solidarity measure. When it broke the €1 barrier news coverage complained about it for a month.

I think DJ looks sharp and invites the audience to dress up as well. However, I would rather see young people dress casually and attend a concert than avoid because it’s too stuffy. So I would welcome orchestra dress in black but more casually.

I love France. It is fun & adventurous. But France penalizes families in subtle ways: special immigration line for families in AeroportsCDG served by 2 agents making the line the longest and unmoving. Why would women want to have kids?

The suicide rate declined modestly by 3.8% for men and 0.7% for women. Though not clear if that decline is statistically significant.

#ASHEcon26 Does medically assisted death substitute for suicide? This paper finds that it goes far above and beyond the suicides it displaces to create huge increase in medically assisted deaths among men and women 65+.
