They ask about comprehensive immigration reform and he says he's for it, but it's unlikely that he even knows what those words mean! He just hears words that sound nice and says he's for them. Trying to interpret that as having meaningful political weight, as the daily does, is missing the point.

No way, I also made this last night! My cat did not get to lick the spoon.

Yeah, it struck me reading this article that we have no set of benchmarks for numerical methods used that are common in economics. The Bayes world has PosteriorDB for testing simulators, I think something similar for, e.g., numerical methods used in macro would be quite helpful for guiding practice.

This seems to go one way (econ -> cs) but I wonder if there are also places that econ would benefit from benchmarks. For instance with numerical methods in econ it seems like authors always do their own thing, there's nothing standardized.
