Friday assorted links

1. Capybara population ‘wreaking havoc’ in wealthy community in Argentina.

2. Scott Sumner on his new book.

3. New boxed set covers the Beach Boys last creative period (NYT).

4. David Brooks (albeit with other purposes in mind) expresses why I am skeptical about the possibility of ems (NYT).

5. AMA with Vitalik, the lead question is from Elon, I am in there too, as is Alex and many others you might know (only the people he follows on Twitter were allowed to ask).  Definitely recommended.
