TL;DR: There's a divide among developers—some love writing code for its own sake, others (like me) love making computers do things and see code as a means to that end. AI coding tools have helped me make computers do things.

With the year coming to a close, we’re sharing our most popular Planet Money bonus episode of 2025! As U.S. trade with China exploded in the early 2000’s, American manufacturing began to shrivel. Those workers struggled to adapt and find new jobs. It ran counter to how mainstream economics at the time viewed free trade … that it would be a clear win for the U.S. Greg Rosalsky talks with David Autor about why economists got free trade with China so wrong. Autor, an MIT economics professor, and his colleagues published a series of eye-opening studies over the last 15 years or so that brought to light the costs of U.S. trade with China. We also hear Autor’s thoughts on the role of tariffs and get an update on his research. With better, more precise data, Autor says we have a more nuanced and “bleaker” picture of what happened to these manufacturing workers.

Many meds (especially tablets/capsules stored cool + dry) can stay stable beyond the printed date, sometimes for years. But—big caveat: this does not apply to everything. For anything life-saving or time-critical or used to treat infections (including antibiotics like doxycycline — a tetracycline-class antibiotic) (examples: insulin, epinephrine auto-injectors, nitroglycerin, antibiotics, liquids/eye drops, aspirin—can break down over time and be more irritating), don’t gamble—replace it. ✅ If you’re unsure, ask your pharmacist—storage + drug type matters a lot. In general, don’t take expired medications at all unless you’ve discussed it with your clinician or pharmacist. Disclaimer: Educational only, not medical advice. Don’t use expired meds for serious conditions or infections (including antibiotics like doxycycline — a tetracycline-class antibiotic) without guidance from your clinician/pharmacist. #pharmacist #thepharmacistbrand #wellness #fyp #wellnessjourney #holistichealth #stayhealthy #themoreyouknow #healthylifestyle #supplements #meds #medication #medicine #expirationdates #healthsafety #healthtips #share".

Par exemple, beaucoup possèdent un sixième sens et sont capables de percevoir et de produire de l’électricité. 💡 Pourtant, des milliards de poissons vivent un véritable enfer, piégés dans des filets de pêche ou enfermés dans des cages marines. 💔 Il est grand temps de changer nos habitudes alimentaires afin de laisser les poissons vivre et de permettre aux océans, que nous avons détruits et pollués, de se repeupler. 🌊🐟 Ecriture : @ethologuedesdinos Illustration : @ninoncmaufe Sources : Franks, B., Ewell, C., & Jacquet, J.
