1. It's not a $1m problem, but since Hodge Theory is being thrown around, those sorts of problems (i.e. the Hodge Conjecture) aren't too far out of sight.
2. My favorite economist gives a good take on this news here. I thought the discussion about 'set-theoretic foundations' in his papers was something spurious, but it's actually a big deal (whatever it is...).
3. Mochizuki's illustration of what these inter-universal Teichmüller shenanigans are. Might be related to the set-theoretic business (he might need the existence of non-well-founded sets, for example)
