Exactly. Mainstream media is so laser-focused on this North Korean witch hunt, but where is the evidence? Last time the US embarked on a similar vendetta we ended up invading Iraq on trumped-up weapons of mass destruction charges. And we al

"Everything Is Stories" is great as well. Beautiful content.

Completely agree with you. I know this sounds strange, but I tend to develop a sort of personal connection with some of the hosts. As if I've known the my entire life. This doesn't seem to be imparted via other content delivery

Between an hour long daily commute, the gym, and a life toiling away in a lab, I consume 4-6 hours worth of podcasts a day. I haven't seen anyone in this thread mention Stitcher Radio. Stitcher is by far the easiest way to consume pod

What is the y-axis supposed to represent in the graph? Not to nitpick, but a y-axis title would be helpful. EDIT: I assume it represents Napoleon's army. If so, that spike in December is interesting, and presumably represents reinfo

Is this not the case for all "emerging markets"? This wouldn't be a story if Detroit had low crime, great infrastructure, low taxes, superb public transport, immaculate roads, and prestigious schools. All of the aforemention

I suppose what I was getting at is this: How do you explain what color is to a natively-blind person in a non-mathematical, non-physics based approach? In other words, the way most of the world learns about color (qualitatively). You can&

Monocle did a great story last week on the female-oriented Jigeentech Hub in Dakar, Senegal (see the 2:00 point at http://monocle.com/radio/shows/the-entrepreneurs/136/ ). This may not be the next Silico

That's an interesting article, and an excellent response from the college. You can't negotiate a cultural fit, and her list of "requests" likely flagged her as a potential problematic professor (excuse the alliteration)

Please use caution when interpreting preclinical drug results. Yes, Tekmira saw great efficacy in non-human primates, but that doesn't necessarily translate into human efficacy. Tekmira focuses on RNAi therapeutics (a field in which I

Is this not being overblown since it only really pertains to BTC on MT. Gox? Since yesterday the Coinbase price has gone from $800 to $670 to $750. Given the typical volatility of BTC and the apparent rebound in price on Coinbase, I'
