Serious fight on evolutionary theory ground. The bulk of evolutionary theorists seem to be set on taking Nowak et al to the guillotine, but there is also a small minority of fans: among them, my former Tinbergen Institute colleague Matthijs van Veelen (see a picture of him from when he was older, wiser, sporting a big white beard; NB: yours truly is the junior black-and-yellow fellow at his left, learning on the job) and his co-authors have a nice correspondence in Nature supporting Novak et al. PS. Note also that one co-author of the controversial paper is Romanian mathematician Corina Tarnita (whom, allegedly, many girls would/should like to have as role model)
The wave equation and tsunami propagation: a concise exposition by Terry Tao. Brings back nice memories of my maths classes at Utrecht University.
On continuous harmonic spaces (the original paper). Shows that consonance and dissonance in music are to a considerable extent routed in nature and can be described/defined mathematically, beyond cultural or time relativism. We like it!

Not sure you need that to justify his worries (though obviously eventually a discount factor is built in in any inter-generational analysis: here it does not have to be out of the usual ranges). But: this is firstly about the crazy current debt (ration of debt to GDP) than to the inter-generational balance of payments, though surely it gets there. I thought the one line summary was: <i> To put it
Mankiw must use some undisclosed low discount factor in his alarmist debt article? <br />a Danish economist
Nenicule, nu stiu, poate ar fi bine sa incepi cu ceva mai "mainstream"? 🙂
