I live in Denmark. Here, lunch breaks are 30 minutes, but instead people leave work and go home at 4pm.

Perhaps important to note that this result comes from a lab experiment done on mice, with as far as I can tell N=24 mice split in a control and two treatment conditions. I would be very careful concluding anything from that study about what human males should or should not do.

I am as happy as anyone about arrogant half-smart crypto bros being called out as the frauds they are.

It is still sad that a young person's life is taken away today. I don't think any type of nonviolent crime should get anyone a life sentence, especially not in a prison system as inhumane as in the US.

I am skeptical of "professional" founders. How can you come up with useful and feasible products in a couple of weeks without any deeper knowledge about markets, demand, etc.? To me this sounds mostly like business school kids throwing around buzzwords.

falsehood n+1: it is a good idea to compile a long lists of falsehoods, based on information from random websites.

Fully agree. Currently I can't even use custom keyboard shortcuts in FF.

The place where academic economists hang out is econjobrumors. But it‘s anonymous and not heavily moderated and can be quite nasty.
