How do we distinguish between "cyclical" fluctuations and "structural problems"

Cyclical slowdown - is when aggregate demand is way below Aggregate supply at a point in time

Structural reform - is about shifting the aggregate supply curve to the right (not as focused on AD)
Despite this being Econ 101 wisdom, policy talk does not usually distinguish cyclical problems and structural problems

Above the governor is mentioning them in the same breath
We are not told -

how much of the slowdown is an "aggregate demand" issue - in which case fiscal / monetary stimuli may help

And how much of it is a "structural" problem that is limiting the capacity of the economy to produce (aggregate supply curve)

My favorite has to be a relatively obscure film from 1979 - Manzil

Amitabh plays a Micawber-ish character suffused with an entrepreneurial spirit, who struggles to make ends meet

A great film that highlights how well meaning people are often hobbled in low-trust societies
Amitabh in the film has a lot of energy. A great deal of ambition

But he is hobbled by an ecosystem that refuses to co-operate with him

He cannot get people to do things. He cannot enforce contracts.

These are the travails of a low trust society
Here's the film available on youtube

Interesting old blogpost on retroflex sounds in Indo-Aryan

manasataramgini.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/cer…
I am relatively new to this

@blog_supplement I know you are making a case above that Indo-Aryan has had a long tradition of retroflex sounds

But you also suggest that the more archaic forms of words in Vedic are usually dental consonants
But in that case, what explains the relative lack of retroflex sounds in classical sanskrit? as well as in modern Hindi..

In contrast, in the Dravidian languages, retroflexes persist

E.g. muraLidharan in tamil vs muralidhar in Hindi

Interesting paper from @ATabarrok and @srajagopalan

Stunning tidbit -

U.S. federal government spending per capita was five times higher in 1902 than Indian federal government spending per capita in 2006

I don't agree with some of the other points in the paper concerning English and also the "elite"-driven public discourse

Sure, there is a strong element of cultural elitism that defines India - but that has been the case for several millennia
It is what keeps India stable. It's the reason this nation has not had a bloody revolution in over 3000 years

As a country we never start afresh on a blank slate but tend to scribble on the same palimpsest as Nehru once put it

Some researchers downloaded all of @pypi (!) and parsed the source of every package (!!!)

Some insights below 👇

(1/9)
Insight #1: PyPI is growing.

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for new packages, active packages, new releases, and new authors are all in the double-digits:

• New packages: 43.28%
• Active packages: 47.31%
• New releases: 51.21%
• New authors: 39.30%

(2/9)
Insight #2: PyPI is becoming more dense.

"...the number of connections or imports per package is increasing", and "annual growth rate in the number of imports [exceeds] the growth rates of the number of packages or releases alone by 10%."

I agree with about 90% of the advice in this. All the points about scale and know what scale you need in terms of tech and employees is spot on.

hackernoon.com/four-startup-e…

But I do think there's room for outsourcing in startups obviously, for certain non-unique needs. 1/20
One of the issues I solved in my career was understanding where I belong in a company's path to maturity. I belong mostly in early to mid-sized scaling. The problems I excel at solving, and the ways I solve them, make the most sense at those stages. 2/20
Finding companies who can accurately assess their scale needs is a different matter. People often think hiring people good in a 50 person organization will get them to a 50 person organization.

That only works if a person good at 50 people is ALSO good at say 5 people. 3/20

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

#reform is all the rage these days. I have some thoughts on two popular subjects of reform: Prison and Healthcare.

Most of the discussions are way off the mark IMO. These are my thought on each topic.
On prison reform
On healthcare reform

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
