I would say, to be pedantic, that your pay isn't set by the market "really," because of market distortions of all kinds. Like doctors are highly paid for a number of reasons one of…

Can you provide actual sources to support the claim that a very small number of people are responsible for output?

How is the right to privacy being violated though? Imagine you were a stripper or porn actress, your right to privacy wouldn't preclude someone recognizing you at the strip club or…

If the videos are published, and the social media profiles public, how can it be illegal to match the two? Supposedly if they show their face they already accept the danger of bein…

The average debt is substantial if you consider over 30k substantial. Professional students obviously will have substantially more. But most professional school loans are private a…

The flatness might be going on 40 years now. People were saying 30 years like 10 years ago.

The interesting part is the historical contingency of the distribution, that is based not just on rational economic principles but purposeful policy. For example, you would need to…

Which is ironic since the US has been becoming increasingly less "free." Like state elections, the ways congressional districts are gerrymandered, and the enormous outsized voice c…

Is natural gas used to cool houses in Europe? I thought natural gas was mostly used for heating. In the UK at least many house lack air conditioning. I can't speak about the contin…

Freedom gas, the new American euphemism for flatulence

She obviously deserves some credit, and you can see she got some for her hard work and skills, i.e., she already has a tenure track position set up at Caltech. But rarely do post-d…

In more equal societies women tend to choose STEM less though

Except in most of STEM there are already an equal number of women. As soon as the baby boomers retire itll be obvious. Women get more PhDs than men, and have been for a while.

In much of STEM women are basically at parity. With computer science, and engineering being obvious exceptions. Further there is a study which has shown that in countries with grea…

Seems like it would harm job growth, because labor costs would increase for low wage jobs. Also what about income from investment?

I didn't read this article because of a payway but I read the NYT article on it, and they covered that. Knowing the Post I can only assume they did too and you didn't read it eithe…
