I suppose that too warrants an explanation.

I didn't know that. I figured linking to the tweet that posted it would be fine.

How could I explain a term in the headline?

We will update you on news, events, and do longer form write-ups […]

‘longer-form’

[…] on the projects discussed in the talks, […]

You mentioned the talks in the previous sentence. Remove “discussed in the talks” and instead say ‘discussed projects’ or ‘projects that were discussed’.

[…] as we now have many more news sources we didn’t yet know about.

Don’t explain yourself to your readers. Remove this part.

Not a lawyer but reproducing the entire letter from Próspera ZEDE is presumably a violation of their copyright.

In the coming period, expect us to pick up on many of the talks’ subject matter.

False possessive

Zu- series of popup projects

That hyphen looks out of place.

The Honduran Supreme Court still needs to publish an explanatory addendum on the passed law to explain how (existing) ZEDEs will be dealt with after this ruling.

Passive voice hides accountability. Who will deal with ZEDEs? Use active voice accordingly.

#708 · Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago · Criticism

Prospects for Próspera and other ZEDEs look dire and in a recent post […]

The alliteration threw me off a bit here. And if they’re dire they’re not really prospects. ‘Outlook’ might work better here.

#707 · Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago · Criticism

lighter taxes and regulations

‘lower taxes and lighter regulations’ (I don’t think taxes can be ‘light’)

#706 · Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago · Criticism

achieved via allowing

‘by allowing’

made […] legally possible

Just say ‘legalized’

#703 · Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago · revision of #702 · Criticism

legally possible

Related to #700:

ZEDEs are SEZs in Honduras.

What are SEZs?

#701 · Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago · Criticism

I now see that the newsletter links to an explanation further down:

ZEDEs are SEZs in Honduras.

But that’s too late. May have already lost readers at that point.

Not a lawyer but reproducing the entire letter from Próspera Zede is presumably a violation of their copyright.

#699 · Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago · CriticismCriticized1 criticim(s)

Honduran Supreme Court declares ZEDEs unconstitutional, putting Próspera and other ZEDEs in jeopardy.

Not everyone knows what a “ZEDE” is. Is it an acronym? What does it stand for?

Your subconscious is like a computer […]

She says “like” so the sentence is technically correct, but it would have been better if she had said the subconscious is a program (or an amalgamation of programs). What she’s presumably getting at here is that the subconscious is automatic like a computer and unlike the conscious, which can stop and reflect and criticize and so on.

#696 · Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago · revision of #662 · Criticism

more correct

Something is either correct it isn’t. There is no “more” correct.

#695 · Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago · Criticism

I just found this related Popper quote underscoring my point:

Truth is hard to come by. It needs both ingenuity in criticizing old theories, and ingenuity in the imaginative invention of new theories. This is so not only in the sciences, but in all fields.
