Fascinating. This is different than I thought: "The variation along ethnic lines, they believe, is a reflection of genetics, not environment." Taking one example that I know a little about. Korea. I would think that environmental

Today, I have had 3 emails from college friends who I haven't heard from in a while. Funny how many vivid memories from that time are music related.

Reminded me of Ezra Pound's rewrite of Middle English Poem about summer: Ancient Music - Ezra Pound Winter is icumen in, Lhude sing Goddamm, Raineth drop and staineth slop, And how the wind doth ramm! Sing: Goddamm. Skidd

Nice - I tried it out and love the idea. Looks like the "I prefer to be contacted through email" selection is broken... Or NYC area car dealers are extremely pushy and brazenly ignore said request... ;)

A tangental question (and not meant to be a critique): Is this a parable? It too closely mirrors reality and there is no openended quality (ie Talmudic writings or Jesus parables). Neither is it an allegory. What do you refer to a story lik

But Mossberg at least gets the relevance of new tech... Pogue always seems to get on bandwagons when they are extremely mature.

There is a misunderstanding here - this is not any different than how most companies use github.

This is a great blog. I was looking for a github link - this stuff would be good as book/classes on there. He is a fine writer. Would love to take his TYL class

How cool. Made me think of a Uni course on Thomas Aquinas from eons ago. I'll have to go back and check but I think: "An essence of an individual is a property possessed by it and necessarily implying any of its properties" c

Critiques which say things like this: "Karl Marx developed his theory of Marxism also in 1800s, finally culminating in the communist manifesto in 1848. " instantly lose credibility. I studied political science a few decades back

Really useful and concise - thank you. It makes me think how useful a 'guide to ethtool' might be, showing the various tunables in the kernel network stack. Another subtopic is '10G vs 1G NICs'. Settings from the MTU to

Agreed. Anyone who has fallen out of love with Obama probably wasn't looking hard at him in the first place.

Bad week for me - a coffee recommendation - Lucid on Lex around 38th street. Small but good coffee.

Nice project. I really like the book you used the poster from. My boys devour it. The quirky little elements remind me of OS-tans. I wanted to make something similar with my boys. How did you choose to attach the vials? Glue? Great project!

Ah - think you are overstating a bit. Live in Hoboken - 20 minute subway ride to midtown. Also possible from Jersey City.

Leonard Cohen (a Canadian) described the US as the "cradle of the best and of the worst..." in the song "Democracy". In fact that song I've thought was a good snapshot of where we (the US) are right now.

Fascinating. The discussion as well. Surprised at how few comments there were about the culture of eating. Part of the reason Soylent makes sense is that we are already eating 'food-like substances' (to paraphrase Michael Pollen) much of th

That is really great. We did something a little similar with the tiles on our floor. Geometric answers are nice as they are tangible. I have found some beautiful books to use for reading time - but they tend to be biology/ physics/ astrolo
