My favorite links from this week:
- Li Jin: 5 Things to Look for to Make E-commerce Startups Work. I’d call these mostly common sense, but good to be reminded.
- Why one man votes no on ballot initiatives (this makes a lot of sense to me)
- Chevron Deference: Administrative Law (starts with a boring subject and ends with extremely salient points about gender politics, highly, highly recommended reading)
- A thread about google’s censorship in China
- Data on groups that cooperate best
- The surprising endurance of the eReader
- The United Nations climate report: “We Didn’t Realize How Soon It’s Going to Come”
- Bill Gates published a great article about what he’s doing to combat climate change
- Patrick McKenzie writes about a fascinating Japanese tax game: Japan’s Hometown Tax
- Book review: How Precision Engineering Made Modernity Possible
- Thoughtbot made their online learning platform free: Upcase

Have a great weekend!
