Short reads, March 2022

I've been meaning to blog about a few things, and not quite had time. I hope you find one or more of these interesting:

• Announcing the White Hat Cyber Forecasting Tournament by R Street, and Metaculus's tournament page. The user interface takes a bit of getting used to.

• COVID Won’t End Up Like the Flu. It Will Be Like Smoking. (Self-explanatory title, at the Atlantic)

• Nick Merrill on economic motives for crypto: "They pay two-thirds of their income to their landlord. Why not try minting their music as NFTs?"
