Allende, Pinochet, and the stock market
We document the impact of Allende's election and subsequent coup on share prices.
A rare natural experiment to identify impacts of institutions on economic outcomes.
The unexpected socialist victory in 1970 reduced share prices by one half.
The 1973 coup launching a business-friendly dictatorship raised share prices by 80%.
These effects reflect Allende's systemic challenge to private property rights.
That is from Daniele Girardi and Samuel Bowles, here is an ungated version.
What are the problems with the intellectual left?
That is the topic of my latest Bloomberg column, here is my opener:
Paul Krugman recently made a splash in a New York Times column by suggesting there are no "serious, honest, conservative intellectuals with real influence," referring to the "unicorns of the intellectual right." I largely agree with his criticisms, but I would like to offer a very different perspective. This column is my corresponding warning to the left, like when somebody tells you your shirt is not properly tucked in.
Here is one passage, but there is much more:
Religion has been a major force in world history, and today is no exception. The popular intellectual who probably has made the biggest splash this year, Jordan Peterson, describes himself as a Christian. Right-wing intellectuals, overall, aren't nearly as religious as is the broader right-wing electorate. Still, I find they are much better suited to understand the role of religion in life than are left-wing intellectuals. For intellectuals on the left, the primary emotional reaction to religion is to see it as a force standing in the way of social liberalism, feel awkward about how many Americans are still religious, and then prefer to change the topic.
I see the main victims of the political correctness movement as standing in the center or center-left. In fact, some intellectual superstars, such as Peterson or Steven Pinker, have thrived and received enormous attention by attacking political correctness. But if you don't have a big public audience, you work in a university, and you wish to make a point about race or gender that isn't entirely along "proper" lines, you will probably keep your mouth shut or suffer the consequences. Those intellectual victims are not mainly on the right, and it means the left has ended up somewhat blind on these issues. This underlying dysfunction is a big reason the left was so surprised by the election of President Donald Trump.

The Great Leland Yeager has Passed
Leland Yeager has passed at the age of 93. Yeager was the last of that remarkable group of scholars–including Buchanan, Tullock, Coase, Nutter–that made Virginia political economy. Yeager was a polymath perhaps best illustrated by The Yeager Mystique an appreciation by William Breit, Kenneth G. Elzinga and Thomas D. Willett written some twenty years ago (quoted below). His work on monetary theory and international monetary relations remain of great value today.
His facility with languages was legendary:
Another doctoral student, the president of the Graduate Economics Club, was working with Yeager (in Yeager's capacity as Director of Graduate Studies) to bring Maurice Allais to the University of Virginia for a colloquium. Yeager passed any correspondence from Aliáis on to the club's president for a response. The correspondence was in French.
Nonplussed by what he mistakenly considered Yeager's challenge to him, the club's president decided to retaliate. With the aid of a graduate student in another department, he responded to Yeager with a letter written in Sanskrit. Yeager was oblivious to the ruse. Innocently, he replied in Sanskrit, saying how pleased he was that the club's president knew this language.
In a faculty of great teachers he was regarded as primus inter pares:
Sometimes he would invite students for a weekend at his Charlottesville residence, where he provided excellent cuisine and wine and conversations which could sometimes lead to a publishable manuscript. A fascinating instance is provided by this lucky house guest: "I happened to ask him some questions on a topic in monetary theory. Well, Leland immediately brought out his tape recorder, and for the next several hours I proceeded to ask him questions, which we then discussed fully. Every few minutes he would summarize the discussion on his tape recorder. Very early the next morning I could hear Leland typing away at his typewriter. When I got up, he presented me with 23 pages of transcript – he had typed up all that we had recorded the night before. We eventually converted that transcript into an article which was published by a major journal. I don't think I will ever be able to duplicate the excitement I felt during that discussion with Leland into the wee hours of the night.
See Tyler's personal remembrance below.
Leland B. Yeager has passed away at age 93
Leland was a great monetary economist, a wonderful economist outright, an important early member of the Virginia School, one of the best read people I've met, and he could speak and read eight languages, including Swedish. He was also a wonderful expositor, and a fine gentleman altogether. He was either an early or a late proponent of market monetarism, depending on how you wish to mark the calendar. Most memorably to me, he would entertain my pesky questions about economics, without tiring, even when I was at a young age. I am sorry to see him go. Here is Leland on Wikipedia and other entries.
How much do schools mediate the international transmission of income?
Not that much. From Jesse Rothstein:
Chetty et al. (2014b) show that children from low-income families achieve higher adult incomes, relative to those from higher income families, in some commuting zones (CZs) than in others. I investigate whether children's educational outcomes help to explain the between-CZ differences. I find little evidence that the quality of schools is a key mechanism driving variation in intergenerational mobility. While CZs with stronger intergenerational income transmission have somewhat stronger transmission of parental income to children's educational attainment and achievement, on average, neither can explain a large share of the between-CZ variation. Marriage patterns explain two-fifths of the variation in income transmission, human capital accumulation and returns to human capital each explain only one-ninth, and the remainder of the variation (about one-third) reflects differences in earnings between children from high- and low-income families that are not mediated by human capital. This points to job networks and the structure of local labor and marriage markets, rather than the education system, as likely factors influencing intergenerational economic mobility.
Here is the NBER working paper.
The role of ideological change in India's economic liberalization
In an interesting paper, Nimish Adhia argues that in the 1980s Bollywood films began to shift from emphasizing collectivist duty towards individual happiness.
The injunction of performing one's duty without regard to outcomes has been the basis of much of the Indian philosophical and religious discourse.
The dilemma is recurrent in Indian films…. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the dilemmas invariably resolve in favor of duty. The mother in Mother India (1956) shoots and kills her wayward son as he attempts to kidnap a woman—an action that would have been shameful for the village. "I am the mother of the entire village," she says as she picks up the gun. As the son collapses to the ground, she wails and rushes to his side, and is shown to lament his death for the rest of her life, but the film valorizes her as "Mother India."
… But then starting with Ram Teri Ganga Maili (1986) there is a spate of films that celebrate the assertion of one's desire. The assertion commonly takes the form of falling in love—an audacious act in a society where the sexual mores are conservative and a majority of marriages are arranged on basis of familial and community criteria. The young lovers in the big hit Qayamat se Qayamat tak (Doomsday to Doomsday, 1988) elope and endure enormous hardships on account of their families' opposition. The families had a falling out in the past when they were neighboring landlords in the country. The demands of familial loyalty, shown to arise in this way from a feudal setup and concluding in the death of the young lovers, are condemned by the film as savage and outdated. "We are not the property of our parents," the young man once counsels his beloved. "We need not be carriers of their legacy of hate."
At the same time, the treatment of businessmen becomes more positive, wealth is shown as being earned rather than simply given, and the pursuit and achievement of wealth is shown to lead to happiness and pride rather than misery and spiritual death. Adhia argues that these changes helped to cause the liberalization reform beginning in the 1990s.
the ideological change is visible in the films of the 1980s, preceding the wave of liberalization starting in 1991. It lends support to the notion that the ideological change, reflected in the films as early as 1980, was a cause rather than a consequence of liberalization.
Guru, which I have called the most important free market film ever made, comes after liberalization but can be understood as in many ways the apex of these trends.

Defensive Gun Use and the Difficult Statistics of Rare Events
In the mid-1990s, Kleck and Gertz (1995) estimated that in a typical year about 1.3% of US adults used a gun for self-defense against another person. Kleck and Gertz's estimate, which came from a survey of nearly 5000 people, implied that there were millions of defensive gun uses every year.
Following Kleck and Gertz's 1995 paper, the CDC added a question about defensive gun use to their Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). In 1996, 1997, and 1998 the CDC asked:
"During the last 12 months, have you confronted another person with a fire arm, even if you did not fire it, to protect yourself, your property, or someone else?"
But here is the surprise. The CDC buried the question and the results. Only recently was the data discovered and made public by Kleck in a new paper.*(see addendum) So what were the results? You will perhaps now not be too surprised that the CDC's survey supports Kleck and Gertz's original finding, about 1% of survey respondents reported a defensive gun use, implying millions of such uses over a year.
The case isn't closed on defensive gun use, however, because of a statistical conundrum.
The CDC asked 12,870 individuals about defensive gun use over the three samples.That's a relatively large sample but note that this means that just 117 people reported a defensive gun use, i.e. ~1%. In comparison, 12,656 people (98.33%) reported no use, 11 people (0.09%) said they didn't know and 86 people (0.67%) refused to answer. People answering surveys can be mistaken and some lie and the reasons go both ways. Some people might be unwilling to answer because a defensive gun use might have been illegal (Would these people refuse to answer?). On the other hand, mischievous responders might report a defensive gun use just because that makes them sound cool.
The deep problem, however, is not miscodings per se but that miscodings of rare events are likely to be asymmetric. Since defensive gun use is relatively uncommon under any reasonable scenario there are many more opportunities to miscode in a way that inflates defensive gun use than there are ways to miscode in a way that deflates defensive gun use.
Imagine, for example, that the true rate of defensive gun use is not 1% but .1%. At the same time, imagine that 1% of all people are liars. Thus, in a survey of 10,000 people, there will be 100 liars. On average, 99.9 (~100) of the liars will say that they used a gun defensively when they did not and .1 of the liars will say that they did not use a gun defensively when they did. Of the 9900 people who report truthfully, approximately 10 will report a defensive gun use and 9890 will report no defensive gun use. Adding it up, the survey will find a defensive gun use rate of approximately (100+10)/10000=1.1%, i.e. more than ten times higher than the actual rate of .1%! Those numbers are, of course, approximately what the CDC survey found which doesn't prove that Kleck's interpretation is wrong only that very different interpretations are also plausible.
The bottom line is that it's good to know that the original Kleck and Gertz survey replicated–approximately 1% of adult Americans did report a defensive gun use in the 1990s–but the real issue is the interpretation of the survey and for that a replication doesn't help.
Addendum: The paper has since been taken down perhaps because in addition to the issue of interpretation that I raised the survey may not have been national. Robert VerBruggen has further details.
Superstars in the NBA playoffs, and the heightening of income inequality
Perhaps you have noticed that the sixth-seeded New Orleans Pelicans swept the third-seeded Portland Trail Blazers in four games straight. A month or two ago, it was not entirely obvious that the Pelicans would make the playoffs at all. And all 22 ESPN analysts picked the Pelicans to lose the series.
The simplest theory about the Pelicans performance is that they have two superstars, Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday. But while Portland was thought of as the superior team, they don't have any player with the power and dynamism of Anthony Davis, whom I and many others consider to be a transcendent superstar.
One possible theory is this: an NBA series today is very well scouted and analyzed, and the players watch lots of tape. Adjustments are made each game or even each quarter, based on a quantitative analysis of what is working and what is not. This neutralizes many of the strategies of the lesser players, and furthermore having a good bench is worth less when it is easier to concentrate more of the minutes in the very best players. It is not however possible to neutralize the impact of a transcendental superstar, even with lots of advance planning. Those truly top players can improvise around any defenses thrown at them, or on the defensive end they can rapidly adjust to counter a new offensive attack.
Furthermore, in the playoffs effort is more or less equalized, as suddenly everyone is trying, even the bench players on the road. That too raises the relative return to top talent.
In the playoffs, it is thus plausible that the quality and value of the transcendent superstars goes up.
As more and more of contemporary business becomes regularized and measured and motivated and based on well-ordered cooperating teams, might the same be true for the transcendent superstars of that world as well? In essence, we're always in the business "playoffs" these days, at least in Manhattan and Silicon Valley, and their transcendent superstars also become the difference-makers.
I do not seek to argue that is the main cause behind rising income inequaliity, but might it be one factor?
Of course my dream series for the finals is New Orleans vs. Philadelphia (Ben Simmons, Joel "built for…playoff basketball" Embiid. That is hardly the most likely outcome, but it is now looking a lot more possible than one might have thought. Philly, by the way, is the "all time hottest team entering the NBA playoffs," at least by one measure.
Economists don't like admitting to publishing in lower-quality outlets
Nice empirical confirmation of something I've repeatedly heard said by Economists. It goes with their obsessive focus on "home runs". Although, given that Jl. Ec. Psych has an impact factor of 1.2, the authors should probably leave it off their CVs. https://t.co/og3XtuiHGV pic.twitter.com/gUgyDC8fNx

The symphony orchestra and the Industrial Revolution
I heard Mozart's 39th symphony in concert last night, and it occurred to me (once again) that I also was witnessing one of mankind's greatest technological achievements. Think about what went into the activity: each instrument, developed eventually to perfection and coordinated with the other instruments. The system of tuning and the underlying principles of the music. The acoustics of the music hall. The sheet music on paper and the musical notation. All of those features extremely well coordinated with the kind of compositional talent being produced in Central and Western Europe from say 1710 to 1920. And by the mid-18th century most of the key features of this system were in place and by the early 19th century they were more or less perfected.
Sometimes I think of the Industrial Revolution as fundamentally a Cultural Revolution. The first instantiation of this Cultural Revolution maybe was the rise of early Renaissance Art in Italy and in the Low Countries. That too was based on a series of technological developments, including improved quality tempera paint, the development of oil painting, the resumption of bronze and marble techniques for sculpture, and the reintroduction of paper into Europe, which enabled artists' sketches and drawings.
As with classical music, this unfolding of quality production was all based on extreme experimentation, a kind of scientific method, urbanization, and competing city-states. There was also the rediscovery of knowledge from antiquity, and the importation or reimportation of science from China and the Arabic world, including the afore-mentioned knowledge of paper-making.
The creation of a book culture, and a culture of experimental science, could be cited as well.
Perhaps the only [sic] difference with the Industrial Revolution proper is that it came to sectors — energy, transport, and textiles — that boosted living standards immensely. But arguably it was just another of a series of Cultural Revolutions that had their roots in late medieval times, with even classical music deriving ultimately from Franco-Flemish polyphony. One of these Cultural Revolutions just happened to be Industrial.
Of course the earliest parts of Revolutions are often the best, as we've surpassed the steam engines of the 19th century but Mozart and Leonardo are still with us.
A Fine Theorem on Parag Pathak, the recent Clark winner
This award strikes me as the last remaining award, at least in the near term, from the matching/market design boom of the past 20 years. As Becker took economics out of pure market transactions and into a wider world of rational choice under constraints, the work of Al Roth and his descendants, including Parag Pathak, has greatly expanded our ability to take advantage of choice and local knowledge in situations like education and health where, for many reasons, we do not use the price mechanism. That said, there remains quite a bit to do on understanding how to get the benefits of decentralization without price – I am deeply interested in this question when it comes to innovation policy – and I don't doubt that two decades from now, continued inquiry along these lines will have fruitfully exploited the methods and careful technique that Parag Pathak embodies.
The post is excellent throughout.
Parag Pathak wins the John Bates Clark Award
Parag Pathak, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor whose research suggests that school choice can lead to improved student performance, won the John Bates Clark award for contributions from a young economist.
Pathak, 37, was honored for his work on market design and education policy, the Nashville, Tennessee-based American Economic Association said Friday in a statement on its website. It said his work "blends institutional knowledge, theoretical sophistication, and careful empirical analysis to provide insights that are of immediate value to important public-policy issues."
That is from Bloomberg. Here is scholar.google.com. There is lots on his home page. Only 808 Twitter followers! His Wikipedia page is good. He is a protege of Al Roth, and overall this prize is a victory for the notion of market design.
The value of Facebook and other digital services
Women seem to value Facebook more than men do.
Older consumers value Facebook more.
Education and US region do not seem to be significant.
The median compensation for giving up Facebook is in the range of $40 to $50 a month, based mostly on surveys, though some people do actually have to give up Facebook.
I find it hard to believe the survey-based estimate that search engines are worth over 17k a year.
Email is worth 8.4k, and digital maps 3.6k, and video streaming at 1.1k, again all at the median and based on surveys. Personally, I value digital maps at close to zero, mostly because I do not know how to use them.
That is all from a new NBER paper by Erik Brynjolfsson, Felix Eggers, and Avinash Gannamaneni.
Models as indexing, and the value of Google
There are many arguments for the use of models in economics, including notions of rigor and transparency, or that models can help you to see relationships you otherwise might not have expected. I don't wish to gainsay those, but I thought of another argument yesterday. Models are a way of indexing your thoughts. A model can tell you which are the core features of your argument and force you to give them names. You then can use those names to find what others have written about your topic and your mechanisms. In essence, you are expanding the division of labor in science more effectively by using models.
This mechanism of course requires that models are a more efficient means of indexing thoughts than pure words or propositions alone. In this view, it is often topic names or book indexes or card catalogs that models are competing with, not verbal economics per se.
The existence of Google therefore may have lowered the relative return to models. First, Google searches by words best of all. Second and relatedly, if you have written only words Google will help you find the related work you need, scholar.google.com kicks in too. In essence, there is a new and very powerful way of finding related ideas, and you need not rely on the communities that get built around particular models (though those communities largely will continue).
It is notable that open access, on-line economics writing doesn't use models very much and is mostly content to rely on words and propositions. There are several reasons for this, but this productivity shock to differing methods of indexing may be one factor.
Still, it is not always easy to search by words. Many phrases — consider say "free will" — do not through search engines discriminate very well on the basis of IQ or rigor.
How big are the buyer and renter gains from SB 827?
This article considers a counterfactual thought experiment: how would California's housing market be different today if a policy currently under consideration in the California Senate—SB 827, which would allow new residential building along public transit corridors—had been implemented six years ago? I estimate that rent would be 5.8 percent lower in San Francisco, a savings of $266 per month on the median home, and 4.2 percent lower in Los Angeles County, savings of $124 per month.
That is from Salim Furth at Mercatus, here is much more. You will note those numbers do not include the higher output and innovation from a more efficient allocation of talent.
Here is Salim's podcast with Matt Yglesias and Emily Hamilton.

Analyze data using R
Budget $100 USD
In this project, you will analyze financial time-series data using R. You are expected to complete the project and deliver the outcomes within 2 days. Detailed description is as follows.
1/ You are given 3 data files:
a) Prices: contains daily prices of a sample of 56 stocks (X1 to X56). Prices can be missing for some stocks in some periods due to many reasons such as the companies have not been listed on the exchange yet... It is safe not to consider these stocks during such periods.
b) Signals1: contains some daily signals that can help to predict future stock prices.
c) Signals2: contains other event signals that are only available for some stocks on some days. This type of signals is also expected to have some predictive power on future stock prices.
The attachments show an example of a few data points. The full data sets contain observations up to quite recently.
2/ You will need to do the following:
a) First, you show your approach to the exploratory analysis step which can help to uncover important characteristics of these temporal data sets.
b) Next, you build predictive models for future stock returns using only the first data set Prices. In particular, our prediction outcomes of interest at the end of day t are stock returns in the next 3 days given by:
R(3) = [P(t+3)-P(t)]/P(t)
where P(t) is the stock price at day t.
c) Finally, still using the prediction outcomes as stock returns in the next 3 days, but you will use additional information from signals: (1) Signals1 or (2) Signals2 exclusively; or (3) both to improve your models.
3/ You are expected to come up with:
(a) A brief report showing how you approach the above questions
(b) Your code in R with as detailed comments/explanations as possible demonstrating your programming skills to carry out these data analysis. You can choose an alternative as long as you can assure the quality of work and the meet these requirements.

MADRID - Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy said on Friday Egypt would hold parliamentary elections between February and March, followed by presidential polls in early summer, and that the political arm of ousted President Mohamed Morsi's banned Muslim Brotherhood could take part.Fahmy's comments provided the most specific timeline yet for the end of the interim army-backed government and a return to electoral politics in the Arab world's most populous country, which since Morsi's ouster on July 3 has seen some of the worst violence in its modern history.

Psychologists Discover Horrifying Facts That Will Stop You From Biting Your Nails
We all have some habits that we are comfortable with but other people might find them outright disgusting. There are a million reasons why a person bites their nails and find some odd satisfaction in it. Some individuals do it out of stress and anxiety. Whereas some do it out of their personality traits. People who seek perfectionism tend to also bite their nails. According to statistics about 33% of the adult population has this habit.
Regardless of what the reason is of biting your nails is, be it physical or psychological – it is harmful to your health. Besides making your hands downright ugly, they might also indicate a lot of your personality traits. We have jotted all the possible rational reasoning that can be behind it.
It shouldn't be that hard, should it?
There is a formal term for biting your nails and it is 'onychophagy' or you can also categorize it in 'body focused repetitive behavior.' Among other behaviors that are categorized in the same category can be like pulling your hair out and even picking your scabs.
There has been extensive detail about what these habits say about a person's psychological health. Usually the cause is along the lines of mental stress. There also has been a study that concluded that negative emotions can lead a person to develop such habits.
Other studies focused on causes like feeling disappointment, anxiety, exhaustion and frustration. Dealing with such emotions can lead a person to deal with it by performing repetitive habits. It just shows what your mental state is.
There's nothing wrong with perfection
Psychologists have also researched and concluded that people who have nail biting as a habit are most likely to be perfectionists. People who tend to seek perfection always have a reason not to calm down and try to get the best of something. If they can't get it right, they stress about it and it causes them to feel frustration.
Being dissatisfied with a task or how it has been done leads to feeling stress and consequently ending up in repetitive behaviors such as nail biting. They want to project what they are feeling but this is the only way it comes out. Some individuals are aware of this habit and do it consciously and then there are some who do it and do not realize what they are doing.
You're your own worst enemy
A habit like this can be very damaging to a person's health. We do not even realize the amount of things we touch in a day and how many germs we come in contact with.
No one can possibly have clean hands all the time and when one bites their nails, those germs come in contact with their mouth. That is active contact with all sorts of germs constantly.
It can lead to painful fingers and hands looking extremely unattractive. You might have gotten used to your hands if you are a nail bitter but other people get really put off when they see your hands.
You need to be aware
Majority of the times nail biting children or adults do not understand or realize the consequence of a habit like this. It becomes so natural for them to do that they can't just give it up the next day.
A person gets condition to a response like this and constantly is putting their hands in their mouth. The longer they do, the harder it becomes for them to let go of this habit.
Kids are frustrated, too
This point applies more to children than it does to adults. Adults have various outlets to let their frustration out but children on the other hand do not. Even if kids decide to talk about it, parents do not understand or have too much patience for it. Venting out venues might be very less and something like this leads to them developing habits like nail biting.
There are issues that children face and adults do not deem them important like being bullied at school or not being able to understand and learn the subjects being taught. There are some teachers who are tough on the children and cause stress to the children who are slow learners.
Not everyone is born confident and fast at learning. If a child develops a habit like this, if gone unnoticed it will go a long way. Parents should take this as a serious concern.
You're being watched, all the time
It is not always done out of stress, it can be a learned behavior also. Children see adults biting their nails and start to copy them at an early age. This does not only apply to nail biting, it also applies to other habits that children pick up from adults.
So one should be careful of what they are exposing children to. If a habit such as nail biting is developed at an early age, it gets way more difficult for an adult to let go of it.
Even if you are aware of all the consequences of this habit, that still does not mean that you can let go of it. Sometimes you just can't let go of something that calms you down or makes you feel better.
It's a psychological problem
If a person develops this habit after the age of eighteen then it obviously is not imitative behavior but an onset of a psychological problem.
In psychological research the reason behind such a behavior is usually due to an anxiety disorder. Another reason behind it is also hyperactivity or even slight signs of 'obsessive compulsive disorder.'
Your own worst enemy…
Harming yourself in different ways has become a way to cope also. Nail biting is a little different from cutting yourself but it also comes under the same category.
Some people like the bitter sweet pain of biting their nails and keep doing it to feel that satisfaction. Slowly destroying themselves.
Everything has a breaking point, and so do you
During a nervous and stressful time a person might find nail biting to have a calming effect. This helps some people think and contemplate a solution for their problems instead of freaking out.
How exciting is your life?
But if you keep all these serious concerns on the side, you might also find someone biting their nails when they are bored and have nothing better to do.
This also helps a person stay awake and not fall asleep in odd places like a boring classroom.
Some habits are messy
If this habit is frequent and obsessively done then it could also multiple and turn into a disease. A habit turns into a disorder when it is done to the extent that it prevents a person to perform daily normal tasks.
There can be a time when you find no control over yourself and your actions, your will power is nowhere to be seen. The amount of germs coming in contact with your mouth might lead to more serious health issues than just the biting of nails.
Choose let harmful habits
A good way to deal with this would be to replace this habit with something less harmful than this. Playing with dough or buying yourself a fidget spinner might help.
Something that occupied your hands will keep you away from biting your nails. A better solution would be to directly cater to their stress directly and eliminating it from their lives.

Kanye West: "Nike Hasn't Done Anything Cool This Year"
Kanye West gave a lecture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago on Monday (May 11), where he will receive an honorary doctorate.
During the appearance, he spoke about his sneaker collaborations, from the present and past... and took shots at Nike in the process.
According to Ye, he ended his relationship with the Swoosh, as he's previously mentioned, because they wouldn't give him a royalty on the sale of his signature shoe. He says their reasoning was because he wasn't an athlete... and furthermore, revealed that the brand offered him $4 million a year to stay.
"When it was time to do the Adidas collection, and I left Nike because they refused to give me a percentage because I was not an athlete -- I don't have a NDA that says I can't say this even though it seems wrong to say out loud -- I left Nike because they refused to give me a percentage. They also offered me $4 million a year to stay," Kanye explained.
"I still left them, because they weren't giving me the opportunity to grow. They were working off an old business model, and Phil Knight was somewhere on an island," he continued. "And then, Mark Parker would go and find people who I collaborated with years before, and try to do collaborations with them to seem cool, and as you see, Nike hasn't done like, one cool thing this year."
Elsewhere, Kanye plugs the Adidas Energy Boost ESMs, saying: "These are just adidas that are fresh, they're not even my shoes. I don't even get paid to wear 'em."

I will be in Austria (3days) and Switzerland (5days). I am looking for a SIM card with some good data package. I will be basically using it for google maps gps (i will be renting a car in Salzburg), and using tripadvisor app. Very rarely for phone calls. Mostly local. Not international. Is there any SIM card that will work in both countries without extra roaming charges? If not which is the cheapest SIM card that I can purchase separately in both countries? And what data package should i choose for these countries. I am looking for for something around 1 GB/500 mb for the whole week.
Can anyone please suggest me something. I have gone through various operators website. But totally confused on what to choose.

The battle to fix Britain's internet heats up
Okay sure download speed is all good and well for getting patches but the bottom line is it isn't all about speed when you talk about online gaming, its also about quality of the line and and ping times, especially involving online games and even more so with FPS's less jitter, less ping and good speed all help the online gaming experience.
But don't forget all those things are useless if the developer hasn't optimised the game well for the online side of things!

Microsoft's mixed messages at E3 aren't pretty for Xbox One owners
Im a ps4 only owner and the thing is after seeing Gow 4 and Forza H3 i was like wow and then saw the Xbone S and was like double wow thats a nice looking console and good looking games. I might have to invest! Then Scorpio comes along and i was like oh my!! I don't own an xbone but i sure as hell ain't gonna buy one if there is something even better waiting in the wings!
The only way i could see Xbone S seling is if Ms do a trade in system for big money off old against new or if your current xbone breaks down, you need a replacement but can't wait for scorpio!

Bungie: extra Destiny content for all platforms when Sony timed-exclusives launch on Xbox
I hate to say it, but it really is times like this when gamers need to play the boycott card and make the developers realise that without the fans playing their games and buying them in the first place they wouldn't be able to do what they enjoy doing in the first place!!
I don't hate DLC and i don't mind paying for it to extend an already enjoyable experience but the price has to be reasonable. What bungie is doing is just wrong and i think all this season pass stuff is pretty much the same thing (far cry 4's was a total disappointment for instance!

David Jaffe reveals arena shooter Drawn to Death

I am deffo interested and its nice to see a studio take some risks instead of trying to follow the same old tired footsteps that everyone seems to be moaning about being bored with ie: cod and bf4. And as a plus it reminds me of the sort of doodles i loved to doodle in my textbooks at school as a teen :D
P.s As a general fan of gaming i don't hate the likes of bf4 or cod as reference, i play both lol :)

Far Cry 4 review
|I have to agree, no talk of atmosphere, mood or any kind of ambience ie: the sounds in the game. If the animal filled landscapes feel and sound full of life or empty and lifeless. Do the animals act as if they have their own food chains like in fc3, which was one of the features i liked. Its almost like this review os more of someone's personal opinion rather than a well balanced review that covers all aspects of the game! not even any talk of any of the mp or co op features as such or how well they work!!

Sony postpones Driveclub PS Plus Edition "until further notice"
Exactly dude. I don't mind that they got problems sh!t happens to the best of us, a "why" it has happened would be nice and to know they have learned something from it. A little acknowledgement that ps plus edition peeps are still a meaningful part of there fan-base. Again a reason why its so impossible to release the ps plus version for offline play would also be appreciated. I still can't help feeling like there is more going on than what we are being told. Its a shame EG can't get in there and stick some of the questions people are asking here to the devs. Surely it couldn't do any more damage to their rep!

|but why can't the ps plus edition be played offline??? thats what all the people people who had the full retail and digital versions were told to do!! No one has even explained why this can't happen! And now there is all this divide in the same community cr@p of "well i paid for the full version, i deserve to be fixed first and ps plus people are free loaders and should wait". Bottom line is we are all gamers and we all pay in some way. An in-depth explanation to all of this and why it has happened would deffo be nice :)

Far Cry 4 Season Pass brings PvP and yetis
|I second what everyone else says. This season pass business really is becoming a farce. I think destiny was the first title this year to really highlight it for me, hence trading the game after thoroughly enjoying what i played of the game in the time i had it. Don't get me wrong, im all for extended the lifespan of a game once its released and if its good meaningful content which builds on what you have enjoyed already. But its almost like they are making the games and extra content all at the same time, usually resulting in watered-down rubbish or weapon packs which could have been released in the full version!! Its almost like game devs/publishers are really starting to take their consumer base for granted :( not a good time for gaming in some ways lately!!

"Majority" of DriveClub owners can now connect online
|@SonicUk I agree dude, i can't understand why sony never stepped in and explained why the ps plus version couldn't be released for offline play like the disc released version. Why was it pulled? no one has explained why it could't be downloaded in the first place, either sony or evolution. And it should'nt matter if you payed full price or a ps plus subscriber either. We all pay in some way and we are all gamers, therefore we all deserve an explanation. But it does seem like there is a little more to all this than meets the eye. i wonder if maybe evolution has had financial troubles maybe, sony almost seems very quiet and distanced on this fiasco also. It could explain why the so called full game experience of the ps plus edition has shrunk and why the upgrade to full digital edition seems so high!! Its just a thought :S
5 0
|@Murton Bang on the nail here mate. You said exactly what i have been thinking the whole time through. This game launch has been damaging in so many ways, even leading to arguments on driveclubs facebook page amongst gaming fans. I can't believe sony hasn't stepped in at some point now considering this title was deemed important enough to them that they used it to sell pre-orders of the console for launch day. It wouldn't surprise me if they realised how many driveclub bundles were pre-ordered and then decided to splice the game allowing for the ps plus edition which is probably what caused the year delay along with the dynamic weather effects application. Its so so disappointing and is ever so slightly damaging to sony's and psn's rep the longer it goes on.

Destiny developer Bungie calls for Iron Banner feedback
|i have to say i really enjoyed this game while i played it. there is loads to like about it i think, graphics, sound and atmosphere, i don't even mind the levelling system. I'm a lvl 28 hunter right ive maxed both sub classes i haven't done the vault of glass raid and am struggling to do the exotic bounty quests even though they are lvl 26. In all honesty these events are pointless because apart from the aesthetic differences the items i can earn from the iron banner just like the queens wrath missions aren't as good as the legendary gear i already have. Bottom line is if i want to get any more fresh/new content out of my standard version of this game now, i will have to spend another Ł34.99 on the season pass. And the amount of hours put in levelling my character i could have easily finished 4 or 5 other decent sp games. Either way im gonna trade it now and maybe get it back a little further down the line maybe! I don't hate this game though :)

Destiny 1.0.2 patch changes how Engrams work
I personally enjoy so many things about this game and it does have some addictive qualities.
Apart from some of the things other peeps have mentioned here about changing in the game, more variety in guns and gear would have been better.
I think gearbox was onto a winner with their randomised gun parts and base stats along with various buffs for certain special weapons making them feel more unique ie: you could have several smg's but they would not only look very different but also react different.
I can't count how many mangala 1.3 or so armours i have picked up for my armour!! lol i have got rather good at dismantling stuff :) ,i think if you blended the looks of this with some of the gameplay and loot mechanics with borderlands you would have an overall almost perfect fps mmo rpg.

Titanfall review
|well i played the beta and tbh i found the game mediocre. i think it sounds a lot better than it actually is and though has some good ideas it excels at no "one" thing. I think anyone who has liked cod may enjoy it but for how long who knows. the action was frenetic but the maps felt small especially in a titan, lack of environmental damage ruins the experience again because of the titans and explosive weaponry. The human weapons are just generic really and there is a big difference in the amount of damage the human players (pilots) seem to take compared to the ai controlled ones! i think the 80 odd awards the review mentions somewhat contribute to the over hype this game has received.

|I hate the fact the indie stores are getting driven out and though i work for a supermarket i hate the fact that they seem to be monopolising on so many different businesses. The thing about indie stores unlike all the other generic ones is nine times out of ten the people in there know what they are talking about because they've bought themselves or at least tried it out and can offer advice without blaggin yuour head off. long live the indie stores!!

Rumoured GAME rescue package outlined
|i agree with most peeps here. i'm for gamestation too.... we should all start a petition.... to me i find more actual gamers tend to work in game as opposed to just sales assistants. so its nice to get someones opinion on a title who is telling the truth rather than someone trying to sell you the title from reading the back cover and blagging.....badly.

Tuesday letters: The massacreJune 13, 2016
Regarding "'Nobody stood a chance' in worst mass shooting in U.S. history" (Page A1, Monday), as a retired psychologist, one issue I almost never see brought up in relation to these tragedies is the role that low emotional intelligence plays.

Astros Balls & Strikes: Inside Gerrit Cole's 'off' night
Emotional Intelligence or emotional quotient is the skill of identifying one's feelings and developing healthy strategies for working with them. These are skills that can be taught, and there are some school programs which have been developed to do just that.
As human beings we all have the full gamut of feelings, including rage and hatred. However instead of developing the capacity to identify and work with these feelings skillfully and being taught that feelings are not the problem, but unskillful behaviors are, the vast majority of us have never developed such skills, brought up by parents who themselves did not possess those skills. What we mostly have is teachings to deny and suppress these feelings as bad, (fundamentalists of all stripes are great at this), projecting the "badness" onto others and thus justifying one's prejudices, or even worse, acting out that hatred as the Orlando murderer did, usually on substitute targets.
Sharon Berliner, Houston
To read this article in one of Houston's most-spoken languages, click on the button below.
This tragedy seems to be the first time I have heard so many people mention mass shooting simultaneously with a possible terrorist attack.
I even heard a Florida senator mention Sandy Hook in relation to this event. The term "terrorism" is usually good for politically stoking fears and debate on actions, however corrective action for incidents termed "mass shootings" usually can't be addressed in America because of the debate over any form of gun control.
Whether American mass shootings are caused by hate, discrimination, terrorism or mental illness they must be addressed holistically. Hopefully there will not be countless more tragedies before we can start a meaningful discussion.
Ron Curtis, Houston
This time the responsibility falls on the U.S. Congress and all the state legislatures. Their failure to act in a responsible manner when facing these situations can only fall back on them.
Our security services are doing everything humanly possible in the attempt to keep us safe. But they do not get much help from our governing bodies.
They have had plenty of opportunities to take action after each of the many occurrences. Take Columbine, Newtown, now Orlando and many others. This time the consequences fall strictly on their failure to take action. Why does any citizen need weapons of mass destruction that should be reserved for military and police organizations?
R.K. Entrekin, Houston
Addressing hate
Regarding "Houston grieves after massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub" (HoustonChronicle.com, Sunday), this article is about hate and that it needs to stop. And the only way for it to stop is to be the change. We can argue all day long, about who's who and what's what but ultimately the only way to end hate is to start by going inward and becoming better people. Changing within.
We can only do so much politically but in the end, all that will matter is what we did with our hearts and souls. Be the difference...stop the hate...go inward.

I caught the 1070 Ti "In Stock" on the website and ordered on the 12th, still hasn't shipped yet. Called them up today and they said the cards were heavily backordered, and have no idea when they're getting new shipments. Chances are that you'll be waiting probably up to a month if you try to buy one.
This is what I was searching this thread for. I ordered one the same day as you. If I recall it said 3-7 day expected shipping, not 3-4 weeks like the 1060 and 1080s in stock that same day. I have found their customer service to be useless in giving an estimate on when they will be restocking.
