Why do workers who look the same on paper earn very different wages, and why do big pay rises mostly come from job changes? In a newly released working paper, I revisit the “frictional wage dispersion” puzzle using a stochastic match-productivity model in equilibrium.

It seems like many people online believe there's a certain amount of Frictional Disinfo about any given topic, and the amount of Disinfo that's acceptable is a direct function of how personally annoying/evil of a topic they find it to be.
Which kinda means they're okay with hallucinations!

#Soma by #Frictional Games. Keep thinking about it even after years. It’s the most haunting #game I’ve played, with a perfect ending. Although it’s classified as #horror, there are no supernatural ghosts, no cosmic terrors: only a relentless reflection on the nature of #consciousness and mortality.

Strange, since the only viable use cases for crypto - facilitation of money laundering and extortion - are stronger than they have ever been.
I guess it isn't worth the frictional costs of laundering money if financial crimes aren't prosecuted.
Or if a political bribe will get you off if caught.

I've long thought that learning/reading RPG's, and actually playing them, are two separate (but often entwined) hobbies. DnD can be kinda frictional to learn, but once you do it runs pretty well and broadly--just gotta get over the initial hurdle. Harder when you do just wanna play for sure.

Physicists characterize fluid flows with Reynolds numbers, which compare inertial forces in a fluid (force from the fluid’s own momentum) to viscous forces (frictional from layers of the fluid moving over each other). A low Reynolds number means viscous forces win out, and the flow is smooth.

Picked up and beat Amnesia: The Bunker and had a great time with it. So many systems that were cleverly designed. Fuel and resource management. An infinite light source that's loud as hell. Items that are begging for experimentation.
Super excited to see what Frictional cooks up next.

William Holman was a part of a group of kooks in the late 1800s that believed traditional gears introduced losses into a drivetrain because of the cogs, but if they were smooth = more power!
Eugene Fontaine was another kook, and before Holman managed to get this failure built:

Just replaying this, It's going to always be one of those legendary games that I always come back to study.
The generator is a stroke of genius and I'd love to know if Frictional were inspired by Darkwood's generator.

WA-04 is bright red, but the incumbent is an "impeacher". Again this cycle, they sent not one but two MAGAs to try and root him out. He'll be on the Nov ballot again, and he'll win again thanks to D's, non-MAGA R's, and frictional losses from the MAGA vs MAGA primary fight.
