That’s completely untrue. For, example, the first of them has a lot of interesting and relevant history about how the decline of one scarce resource motivates the search for others.

People saying "he doesn't address the downsides" could read the three pages on the same site which do address the downsides, and which are prominently linked right at the start of the essay: https://rootsofprogress

This is such a weird take because every other system except capitalism did not produce enough resources to let there be 8 bn people, and capitalism did produce them and also made the people vastly richer than the 1 bn there were before.

There is actually a possible innocent explanation of this. * Google image search mostly looks at image captions. * Relatively few people caption their pictures "Me and Jane, a proud white woman and white man". Like, only white sup

I use Github and I bet 99% of coders here do too. If someone tries to publicly shame me, I'll just laugh at them.

Can you recommend any good one-volume translations of those?

I once watched a Nobel prize winner present. His presentation was a Word document, and he presented by scrolling down. For bonus points you could do the same with `less`.

QJE and Econometrica yes. JEL is excellent but not one of the "top 5": it's literature reviews. JFE is big in finance but not top 5. JEG, not even close - it's a field journal.

That's not the same estimand. Maybe happier people are more likely to get or stay married. Changes in laws are more likely to be exogenous to this. At the same time the headline already simplifies the article, which focuses a lot on la

Rural areas often don't have enough passengers along routes to fill a bus, so the car is going to be better. (Doesn't have to be privately owned though.)

"Journal of Cleaner Production" is not "highly ranked" in economics. Economists are pretty hierarchical about their journals and know which are the top 5, which are top field journals etc. That one is a non-entity, I hav

Are you suggesting we should censor IQ studies that show racial differences? That seems like a bad idea if, for example, you're interested in how good an education different racial groups are getting.

This article indeed did not make sense. The key point it doesn't get is that the majority of issues described in the original were not deeply embedded in the language. They weren't use-after-free etc. They were simply the program

I doubt if lots of websites all saying "[Chinese scientist who made allegations about Covid] is a complete rumor maker" are crypto spam. The Chinese government seems like a plausible patron.

I understand the loss of being stuck with a single platform, but that's not quite right. You can have multiple devices, just as you can shop at multiple supermarkets. It's just that the price for doing so is higher (syncing multip

Food is highly regulated by the state, at least in the US and EU (probably too highly regulated). It is also a market with numerous platforms which compete to offer quality guarantees - i.e. supermarkets. The difference with Apple is just t
