Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

    Question for econoliterates only: am I wrong that this is a sensible tax on price-discriminatory college rents?https://twitter.com/clauswilke/status/926454752136892416 …

    1. GOP tax bill would tax tuition wavers for grad students. This would be a disaster for US STEM PhD education. http://www.chronicle.com/article/Republican-Tax-Proposal-Gets/241662 …

        In theory, no, but changes to the tax code have complex consequences, and the bill was written rapidly, poorly, and without analysis.

        And the effect of badly considered significant proposed changes is to create lots of economic uncertainty, which itself imposes large costs.

        That was my sense as well. Tax incidence presumably falls mostly on the universities. Phase-in time seems important. Immediate = bad.

        US grad school tuition isn't rent because everyone gets waivers. If schools do away with both, only Q to ask is why tf this bs even existed.

        Well OK, it's rent, but extracted from funding agencies not students. Which I guess is bad news for students: no way schools'll cut overhead

        That was my reading as well. But it affects colleges so won’t we think of the children?!
