I wrote about the muddle that "free speech" has become, brought to a head in two incidents during commencement season.
Shutting Down Salman Rushdie Is Not Going to Help
Two recent flare-ups over commencement speeches show how difficult—and necessary—truly defending free expression is.

Some of the stats in here are really striking. Per one paper, federal investments in R&D account for at least a fifth of all productivity gains in the U.S. economy since World War II. And the societal return for every $1 invested in the sciences is *conservatively* estimated at $5.

in slightly-early honour of St Patricks Day, I will once again remind the world of the time Amazon united Ireland (and apologized for the Troubles), still one of my favourite moments on twitter
A Twitter thread. Amazon Help replies to a (not visible) tweet saying "Autumn Nations Cup coverage is available to Prime Video customers based in UK only. Prime Video doesn't support streaming content through Virtual Private Network (VPN) or proxy connections. Are you using either of these?" Chris Jones says "No." Amazon Help says "Thank you for that information. We apologize but upon reviewing your location you're in Northern Ireland. Rugby Autumn Nations Cup coverage is exclusively available to Prime members based in the UK. We don't have the rights to other territories." The thread continues. Chris Jones says "Northern Ireland is part of the UK." Amazon Help says "Many apologies, but we don't have the broadcast rights for Ireland or other territories." Another twitter user says "Northern Ireland *IS* the UK, "UK" is short for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. (This tweet does not reflect my opinions on the matter of a united island of Ireland)" Amazon Help replies "Thank you for reaching out to us. We'll be sure to pass your feedback along to the appropriate team." Amazon Help replies to a different tweet, and leads with "Hi there! We apologize for the troubles."

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter:

(1) your haters are trash
(2) you’re a baller, a true queen
(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️
Prague, 23 November 1911 Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie, Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you!? that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism! I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin(3) too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom i

Of the many implications from the Russia-Ukraine war, this is the one I think about the most... what does the future of nuclear disarmament look like if the country who made the biggest commitment to the cause ends up getting hung out to dry?

A history reminder on Ukraine’s weapons: In 1994, Ukraine had the third-largest nuclear arsenal on the planet but agreed to ship them all to Russia in exchange for Russia (and the United States) respecting Ukraine’s sovereignty and borders.

Btw the Associated Press is a nonprofit cooperative that is still reeling from Gannett and McClatchy, who own 230 newspapers, pulling out of the cooperative. Here’s @mattdpearce.com on that
Wall Street declares war on the Associated Press
Gannett and Reuters come for one of the final corners for legacy media that had resisted the financialization of journalism.

Kari Nessa Nortun kan være en god partileder for Ap. Fra Stavanger Kommune klarte hun bare å appropriere 200 millioner kroner til partiets valgkamp, fra regjering bør man vel kunne snakke om tilgang opp i milliardene..?

They call me weird for preferring writing in Tex locally (Texifier) on my mac and use Git for version control, then Overleaf is down and I feel vindicated.
(You can share a Github repo to Overleaf, so collab is no problem unless when simultaneous writing is "necessary")

With all the new joiners, my original IO/org econ starter pack hit its size limit.

I have therefore split into into two (with some overlap). This starter pack is broadly for IO, competition and innovation:
