Tuesday assorted links
1. How much will the demand for dilithium crystals go up? And is there a free lunch after all? (Isn’t the universe as a whole a large free lunch?) Possibly speculative.
2. The new Jeff Sachs paper on robots. And Moore’s Law at fifty. Are routine jobs disappearing? (yes)
3. If a person buys insurance against small losses, is there a way to make lemonade from that lemon?
4. How universal is the left-right political spectrum?
5. New job opportunity: economist at LinkedIn.
6. The case for composting. Dementia and sexual consent.
