The Editors: "The Environment=l Protection Agency's proposed new restrictions on methane emissions are a=reasonable imposition on the oil and gas industry. Whether they're adequat= to help fight climate change is another question, and the answer depends =n what the government does next." Read more...<=span>

Tech

Megan McArdle: "The data from=Ashley Madison -- a 'dating' site where married people can arrange affairs=-- appears to have been posted online, after the company refused to capitu=ate to hackers who wanted it shut down. ... I won't dwell on the morality =f cheating on your spouse, or the morality of posting the database online =or people to peruse, or indeed, the morality of perusing the database to s=e what your spouse, co-workers, boss, best friend or Great Aunt Rita have =een up to. I'll focus on the economics: what this case tells us about mark=ts, operations and the business of blackmail." Read more...

Leonid Bershidsky: "Cheating =n one's partner almost inevitably ends badly for all concerned. Patrons of=the recently hacked infidelity-enabling site Ashley Madison, though, need =ot be overly worried -- the user information released this week does less =o threaten them than to exemplify the uselessness of much of the data that=online services collect." Read more...

Justin Fox: "We are now in Da= 5 of the Post-Bitcoin-Fork Era, and the Earth is still orbiting around th= sun. Bitcoins are still being mined and traded, too, although the price i= dollars is down this week. We will all be OK, I think. Although there is =t least a chance that bitcoin won’t be." Read more...

Stephen L. Carter: "I have to=apologize for breaking the Internet. Yes, it was me. I'd have made my mea =ulpa sooner, but I didn't realize how great a wrong I'd done. It was selfi=h of me to download ad-blocking software. I thought only of enhancing my o=n online experience. It never occurred to me that I would be the cause of =o much trouble." Read more...

China

William Pesek: "This is China=s moment to show it can be a trusted steward of a global economy that has =ost its way. And the yuan is a good place to start. But, by defining its s=lf-interest so narrowly, China is failing to make a positive first impress=on." Read more...

India

Dhiraj Nayyar: "The real issu=, however, isn't money -- it's the apparent inability of India's banks to =ake decisive action against defaulters. Bad loans are most often written o=f, indefinitely restructured, or, in rare cases, converted to equity on te=ms favorable to the defaulter. The cost of defaulting -- often willfully -= simply isn't high enough, thus creating a systemic moral hazard." =span class="topic-read-more" style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;text=decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;font-weight:normal;font-size:17px;line-heigh=:1.6em;text-transform:none">Read more...

2016 Elections

Paula Dwyer: "Wisconsin Gover=or Scott Walker has a new proposal that's winning huzzahs from the party's=reformicon policy intellectuals. The centerpiece of his detailed plan, rel=ased yesterday, uses tax credits to help people buy insurance if they're n=t covered at work or eligible for Medicare or Medicaid. Comprehensive as i= is, the plan's political and practical viability could rise or fall on on= word: continuous." Read more...<=a>

Jonathan Bernstein: "Donald T=ump isn’t the reason that Republican presidential candidates are t=king positions on immigration that could harm the nominee in 2016. Trump o= no, Republicans were sure to compete over who possesses True Conservative=credentials, because, well, that’s what Republicans do." Read more...
