I live in Denmark. Here, lunch breaks are 30 minutes, but instead people leave work and go home at 4pm.

Perhaps important to note that this result comes from a lab experiment done on mice, with as far as I can tell N=24 mice split in a control and two treatment conditions. I would be very careful concluding anything from that study about what human males should or should not do.

I am as happy as anyone about arrogant half-smart crypto bros being called out as the frauds they are.
It is still sad that a young person's life is taken away today. I don't think any type of nonviolent crime should get anyone a life sentence, especially not in a prison system as inhumane as in the US.

At least they ask you for it, instead of tracking you until they can figure it out.

Maybe I used the wrong word. What I mean is this: Jobs and Wozniak started Apple because they were passionate about computers and had a vision about how they should be built. Page and Brin wrote their dissertation on PageRank and related topics before they started Google.
The people in the article seem to want to be entrepreneurs first, and think about actual business ideas after.

I am skeptical of "professional" founders. How can you come up with useful and feasible products in a couple of weeks without any deeper knowledge about markets, demand, etc.? To me this sounds mostly like business school kids throwing around buzzwords.

falsehood n+1: it is a good idea to compile a long lists of falsehoods, based on information from random websites.

The place where academic economists hang out is econjobrumors. But it‘s anonymous and not heavily moderated and can be quite nasty.
