Markets are not functioning as you've seen in prior decades. Globally, fiscal spending and monetary policies are warping free and open markets into Franken-Economies. This means, as things move forward, the performance of stock and bond markets are going to be highly dependent 1/
on government policies (globally). Governments are fighting price deflation (which is caused by over-used inflationary monetary policies with no currency peg). Once real interest rates (globally) reach 0% and there's no fiscal responsibility for fiat nations, 2/
policymakers effectively have two tools remaining to fight the price deflation (in fiat terms). First, they can use QE (been doin' that), or, they can use Universal Basic Income UBI (just getting that one started). There are many...3/

NYC’s healthcare system is being pushed to the limit. And sadly, now so is the city’s system for managing our dead. And it, too, needs more resources. This has big implications for grieving families. And for all of us. 1/
NYC’s “city morgue” is the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), which luckily is the best in the world. But they are now dealing w/ the equivalent of an ongoing 9/11. And so are hospital morgues, funeral homes & cemeteries. Every part of this system is now backed up. 2/
A typical hospital morgue might hold 15 bodies. Those are now all full. So OCME has sent out 80 refrigerated trailers to hospitals around the city. Each trailer can hold 100 bodies. These are now mostly full too. Some hospitals have had to add a 2nd or even a 3rd trailer. 3/

1. So recently, I've seen a lot of people and business looking for #remote solutions during the #COVID19 pandemic. I have been doing remote work in broadcasting for years now, and I'd like to share some of the information/products I've used and learned about. A thread:
2. Iphone cameras are great, but the mics sound like crap. Attach and existing mic with the IRig Pre. Your video or conferencing calling will no longer sound like garbage, but rather quite good https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007534LFK/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_dwKCEbJAXAYZZ via @amazon
@amazon 3. Another option for a mic, if you don't have one already, is the AT 2005 USB. It has a built in audio interface, and it can be used with regular XLR hookups: https://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT2005USB-Handheld-Dynamic-Microphone/dp/B007JX8O0Y/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1COJX6G8JYXG1&keywords=at2005usb&qid=1584547210&sprefix=at+2005+usb%2Caps%2C199&sr=8-6&swrs=ECCF03ED52389F94732A2C48C48EF3E9

1. One big trap in moving to #remote work is it forces you to notice team behavior that is dysfunctional that you never noticed before. The trap is to blame it on being remote - but in truth the issues were there all along. They're just harder to ignore now.
2. For example, “These Zoom meetings aren’t working, everyone seems distracted or bored." And what - you think your non-remote meetings were exciting intellectual salons, packed with epiphanies and infinite engagement? I think not.
3. Most meetings are dominated by the boss. In all cases, if the meeting isn't working for everyone there, it's their fault. Trap #1: Most bosses have a better sense of if the meeting is working for them, than if it's actually helping anyone else be productive.

THREAD What Bailey fails to understand is that what he is calling "printing money" is not more inflationary than running bond sales the way we do now. In fact, the opposite is almost certainly the case.
@paulkrugman did it here https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/12/09/helicopters-dont-help-wonkish/?smid=tw-NytimesKrugman&seid=auto&_r=0
If he disagrees, then he is disagreeing with a lot of people (MMTers and non-MMTers alike). @stf18 and I laid it out here https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2013/12/12/1721592/guest-post-the-helicopter-can-drop-money-gather-bonds-or-just-fly-away-3/ Non-paywall version here http://neweconomicperspectives.org/2013/12/krugman-helicopters-consolidation.html

The wisdom I gleaned (or am gleaning) in during the #Covid_19 crisis, a thread. You can feel free to add… 1. Women by evolution are designed to be the stronger species. 2. One wrong leader can bring the strongest nation of the world to its knees. 1/n
3. The Western world we idolised isn’t as developed as we were made to believe. 4. China started & won the World War3 without a single bullet being fired. 5. Family i more important than anything else in the world. 6. Our home is the world’s safest zone 2/n
7. The developing world and within which too the economically challenged have better developed immunity than the more prosperous. 8. We Indian males should learn & participate more in the housekeeping chores, makes for happier families. 3/n

Pues aquí duermo (es un decir) hoy yo, y mañana veremos las pruebas. Lo peor es el aislamiento absoluto. Todos los que ingresan están solos, nadie puede acompañar al paciente. Los mayores sufren muchísimo. Y lo mejor, los sanitarios y el resto del personal del hospital. Héroes.
Negativo no concluyente, no iba a ser menos. Me repiten la prueba en 24 horas. En las radiografías se ve inflamación en los pulmones. Saturación baja, 85. Y ahora empieza la tanda de pruebas de la tarde.
El menú es regular, pero se está portando tan bien toda esta gente, están currando tanto, que no me quejo; lo tiro cuando no vigilan y ya.

A thread on DNACPR (Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). (1/29)
My credentials are also these: I am the 34 year old orphan of two parents who both died far too young, and who both died with completely appropriate DNACPR forms in place. (3/29)
My credentials are these: I've been a doctor since 2012. I am a specialist registrar in Acute Medicine, and like most senior medical trainees I hold a certification in Advanced Life Support which qualifies me to lead a cardiac arrest team. (2/29)

"Régularisation des sans-papiers", "auto-discipline", "LE pays solidaire de l'UE"... On s'extasie beaucoup sur le Portugal 🇵🇹 face au #Covid_19 ces derniers temps. Un thread pour arrêter cette mythification (qui parfois frise avec l'exotisation) ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.franceinter.fr/emissions/les-histoires-du-monde/les-histoires-du-monde-30-mars-2020
Tout le monde a applaudit la régularisation des sans papiers. C'est oublié que c'est une mesure exceptionnelle qui ne durera que jusqu'en juillet et que ne sont concernées que les personnes ayant déposé une demande de régularisation avant le 18 mars. http://www.rfi.fr/fr/europe/20200329-coronavirus-portugal-regularisation-immigres-migrants-protection-etrangers
L'objectif du gouvernement Costa est simple : faire que la main d’œuvre immigrée bon marché, notamment les Népalais, puissent continuer à travailler dans les secteur du BTP et de l'agroindustrie. http://www.agricultures-migrations.org/portugal-quand-la-sous-traitance-devient-la-norme/

Thread: Those who are scoffing that "nothing went wrong with the grid yesterday" should be enormously thankful instead of smug. The POSOCO report on the PM's event yesterday evening shows quite clearly what an "unprecedented challenge" it was (their words not mine).
POSOCO had advised all regions to ensure that the black start units were in good condition. If that does not signal how worried they were, I don't know what will. https://posoco.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Preliminary-Report-on-Pan-India-Light-Switch-Off-Event-on-5th-April-2020-2-5.pdf
The entire system through which supply is dispatched had to be modified.Generators with fast ramping capacities, i.e. hydro units, had to be used at full capacity at that time so their use at times otherwise advised (typically to manage peaks) was curtailed.

1/ A common misperception is that the COVID-19 situation is unprecedented. CV19 is NOT unprecedented. I repeat CV19 is NOT unprecedented.
2/ In Oct 2016, the government "war gamed" a pandemic during "Exercise Cygnus" which showed that a flu (not a novel corona virus) pandemic would cause the country's health system to collapse from a lack of resources.
4/ In a @TEDTalks in 2015 @BillGates described "The Next Outbreak? We're not ready"... https://ted.com/talks/bill_gates_the_next_outbreak_we_re_not_ready This warning was ignored...especially by the UK and US governments.

Is Yahweh an Anunnaki? by Jan Erik Sigdell August 16, 2010 (Thread) Who is Yahweh? His name is actually written with only the consonants YHWH.
In the Hebrew writing the vowels are, if at all written, marked with diacritics (additional signs), which is never or only rarely done with YHWH.
The reason may be that according to old tradition his name should not be pronounced. One therefore talks about him in indirect ways, such as Adonay = “the Lord”.

Wrote paper https://cr.yp.to/papers.html#gigo disputing various overconfident claims in @StephenKissler distancing paper P. One software-verification aspect: P's safety claims are false in P's model; my paper reverse-engineers P's miscalculated graphs -> typo (55) in P's unpublished code.
It's critical to understand actual impact of school closures, mask use, etc. Paper P models distancing as reducing R0 by at most 60%, and claims that (3) said 60% is what China's "intense" distancing did; but (3) didn't say this, and it's hard to reconcile this with NHC reports.
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/mathematics-life-and-death-how-disease-models-shape-national-shutdowns-and-other seems to say that overconfidence in early COVID-19 model is what produced initial UK policy. Some modeling papers track some sources of error but it's clear that the system as a whole produces a bias towards underestimating the total probability of error.

NEW: Tues 31 March = overhaul of coronavirus trajectories As the story shifts, the charts shift. We’re now focusing on *new* cases & deaths rather than running totals. Why? Because key for any country is when today’s new cases are fewer than yesterday’s http://ft.com/coronavirus-latest
How to read the new charts? x axis is still days into outbreak, but y axis is now the number of new cases in the past week. Line rising? Each week brings more new infections, outbreak is accelerating. Line falling? This week was better than the last. We’re past the worst of it.
Loads of stories in here • Italy has turned the corner. New cases falling • US? >100k *new cases this week* • China squashed its outbreak, but as restrictions are lifted, cases rebound. Lockdowns don’t end overnight ⚠️ • Japan looked like a success story, but cases now rising

The #Coronavirus is acting like an unwelcome Olympics for scientists, doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, techies, leaders, parents, and ordinary heroes of every kind. Setting records in every event.
One way to imagine the future is that the economy will lose trillions of dollars and we will never get it back.
You can almost feel humanity getting smarter. The most capable among us are forming lasting connections. Sharing best practices. Learning shortcuts. Building a working trust. Creating tools at blazing speeds.

Over the last few decades there has been a coupling of two things – the “individualization” of risk, and the protection of “individual” privacy. This libertarian view of government is likely to be severely damaged by the Covid-19 pandemic. A thread: 1/7
Those in favor of privatizing risk were mostly (right-wing) economists who embraced the “public choice” critique of gov't actors as self-dealing. They argued that individuals understand their risk preferences better & are better at managing them than any institutional actors. 3/7
By contrast, those in favor of protecting individual data are (mostly left-wing) “privacy activists” who, often in the name of “human rights," sought to protect individual habits from the gaze of powerful actors. 4/7

I have received a fair bit of criticism over the last few days from some who have claimed that I and our investors have profited from the Covid 19 crisis. Some have said that I intentionally scared people about the crisis to increase our profits.
I recently addressed these critics in a six page letter, but since few have time to read six page letters, I thought it would help to summarize the facts in a few tweets. I invest capital on behalf of 1,000s of investors through a public company called Pershing Square Holdings.
Our investors are both large and small. Since we manage funds through a public company, the price of entry is small. One share can be purchased for less than $20. Some of our investors include other fiduciaries like pension funds.
