Have I mentioned my book!? It tries to inspire action by arguing we already sort-of know what needs to be done about the world's biggest problems – and have a pretty good idea of what a solution looks like. Also, economics is not what you think! www.amazon.com/How-Economic...

Prospective college student submitted a forged transcript with her application but could not be convicted of fraud because her forgery skills were pathetic: www.dagensjuridik.se/nyheter/kvin...
Kvinna förfalskade betyg för dåligt för att kunna dömas
Betyget hade fel betygsskala för året det var utfärdat. Gymnasieskolan fanns inte heller det året. Trots att kvinnan skickade in ett förfalskat betyg för att söka högskolestudier frias hon nu från brukande av urkund.

Can anyone recommend an AI solution for time management, like an artificial personal assistant? Something that scans my email for tasks and deadlines, integrates with other to-do lists, populates my schedule in light of my preferences, and sends reminders as appropriate. Can’t be that hard to build.

A successful scientific discipline is a self-regulating epistemic community. It’s *supposed* to kick out charlatans and cranks and creeps.
6/To those who call my position political correctness, being woke, an example of cancel culture, I say the following. A profession's decisions on how to allocate opportunities has dimensions that define its professional ethos and culture. There are spillover effects that matter.

In fairness, it appears that there were solid, longstanding reasons for Epstein and associates to have confidence that The New York Times (in particular) wasn't going to publish these kinds of emails from them.
Do people still advise writing every email as though it's going to be published on the front page of the Times? I guess nobody told Epstein and his pals.
