That’s an astute observation. Without having any insight in the matter, statements like “the most important documents in the history of the internet” have me questioning how self-assured this team have been when assessing why Harvard put up a line of defence.
That's a quote from the whistleblower, not something the article itself is asserting.

#43> One: Reward and Punishment Superresponse Tendency
> I place this tendency first in my discussion because almost everyone thinks he fully recognizes how important incentives and disincentives are in changing cognition and behavior. But this is not often so. For instance, I think I’ve been in the top five percent of my age cohort almost all my adult life in understanding the power of incentives, and yet I’ve always underestimated that power. Never a year passes but I get some surprise that pushes a little further my appreciation of incentive super-power.

#45From regulatory capture through revolving doors and lobbying, to media capture through purchase, and now academic capture through donation, it seems no activity is safe from large concentrations of wealth.
And it never will be. This is a human problem. No amount of laws and regulations will ever solve it.
what if we had laws that prevented people from obtaining disproportionate amounts of wealth? Seems like it'd be a lot harder to buy a school if being a multi-billionaire is impossible.

What about better redistributing wealth -- you know like corn subsidies

Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar ... it's definitely no coincidence.

And the party is in charge of enforcing those laws right ?

I can't speak to the other green users, but I'm a long time poster who recently created a new account because I decided I didn't want my contributions here tied to my real name anymore, after some real-life concerns about harassment (not from HN, but still trying to play it safer online now).

#50I just read that this morning. I'm interested enough in the outcome that I put a calendar reminder 6 months out to check what happened. Doing so made me wonder if there's a service that would email me updates about legal cases like this that I would like to follow.
Who would pay for this?
Random people like you and me wouldn't pay for something they're gonna use twice in their lifetime, and lawyers surely have something like this, possibly integrate with all the other tools they use.
