Wednesday assorted links
1. Lewis Jackson on money in politics.
2. Cowen’s Second Law: “Criminal cannibalism: An examination of patterns and styles.”
3. “Black Churches still comprise the majority of the church chapter 11 filings.”
4. Laura Deming mental models for science and other things. And short history of the mRNA vaccine. And maybe the vaccine is 97% effective. And caveat lector out the wazoo, but here is a new report on the Sputnik vaccine. You will note the Russians are in any case having big problems scaling production.
5. Data on diversity and hiring practices in Silicon Valley.
