Justin Fox: "Is there really =no model' for the kind of company Alphabet/Google wants to become? Observe=s have been throwing out different examples all week of what Alphabet is o= should be like. Here’s a roundup."

Leonid Bershidsky: "All the f=enzy over car-hacking would make more sense if the risk weren't so easy to=reduce: Just drive a simple car." Read more...<=span>

Wall Street

Matt Levine: "It's easy to se= why outsiders and prosecutors and customers might be offended when they f=nd out that bond traders bought low from one customer and sold high to ano=her customer with shall we say imperfect disclosure of those facts. But th=t is kind of the job. And the lines between how you are and are not allowe= to do it don't seem totally clear to me." Read more...

Economics

Megan McArdle: "Americans spe=d a phenomenal amount of money consuming food outside their homes, and a m=jor reason is that with restaurant labor so cheap, the convenience and pri=e are attractive to people who don't feel like cooking. If the wages go up= that calculus shifts. And unfortunately those "rich bosses" can't just ta=e it out of their profits, because margins in the industry are under 5 per=ent, and the difference between making that profit and closing up shop can=be surprisingly thin." Read more...

Federal Reserve

Ramesh Ponnuru: "It is unlike=y that the Fed, in the near term, will either adopt a nominal-spending tar=et or produce estimates of the natural interest rate in real time. The cen=ral bank is slow to change and insulated from pressure. But the Fed doesn'= have an especially good track record, either over the course of its histo=y or in recent years. That’s a reason for changing some of its pra=tices and for lashing the Fed’s fallible human governors to a well=considered rule." Read more...

Cities

Bershidsky: "Cities like Barc=lona, Berlin, Lisbon and Hong Kong, which only became major tourist destin=tions in the last couple of decades, are starting to look for ways to keep=visitors out. This isn't about xenophobia: It's a protest against the chan=ing nature of tourism." Read more...
