Anarchism and Linux share key similarities in decentralization. Anarchism puts power back into the hands of the people through democratic, decentralized communities and bottom-up unions that organize collectively without hierarchy. Similarly, Linux operates as a decentralized system where no single entity controls the whole; instead, development and decision-making happen through collaborative, distributed contributions from a global community.
They also align in the principle of mutua…

When It Comes to SSRIs, Are Our Only Choices “Safe & Effective” or “More Dangerous Than Heroin”? Awais Aftab
“The public deserves advice about psychiatric medications that does not oscillate between stupor and alarmism. Antidepressants, like all medical interventions, come with benefits and trade-offs. If psychiatry refuses to engage seriously with patients’ concerns, if the mantra of “safe and effective” is all it is willing to publicly say, it will lose credibility. We cannot…

Equilibrium of Charges and Differential Equations Solved by Polynomials II
We continue study of equilibrium of two species of 2d coulomb charges (or point vortices in 2d ideal fluid) started in (Igor Loutsenko, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 37, 1309, 2004). Although for two species of vortices with circulation ratio -1 the relationship between the equilibria and the factorization/Darboux transformation of the Schrodinger operator was established a long ago, the question about similar relationship for the ratio -2 remained unanswered. Here we present the answer: One has to co…

Hedging Deposit Run Risk Prior to the 2023 Regional Banking Crisis
In this analysis we determine factors driving the cross-sectional variation in uninsured deposits during the interest rate raising cycle of 2022 to 2023. The goal of our analysis is to determine whether banks proactively managed deposit run risk prior to the hiking cycle which produced the 2023 Regional Banking Crisis. We find evidence that interest rate forward, futures, and swap use affected the change in a bank uninsured deposits over the period. Interest rate option use, however, has no eff…

"Mike gave a legendary talk called “F*ck You, Pay Me,” with a title inspired by a quote from the late Ray Liotta in the 1990 movie “Goodfellas.”
What is interesting about this talk is that, despite being primarily directed to designers, its contents are immediately suitable for freelancing software engineers, a profession whose work is, at least since the return of Steve Jobs to Apple in 1997, inextricably linked to that of designers."

Mike Monteiro
Erika Hall and Mike Monteiro founded Mule Design, a design consultancy in San Francisco, around 20 years ago. Mike was (in)famously known around a decade ago on Twitter, where his profanity-laden rants about design, ethics (or lack thereof), unionization, and open condemnation of fascism, reached peaks of popularity and retweets.
