Friday Links


The recession is a media myth.

10 new planets.

Secrets of the ancient insects.

More Chinese spies.

Data beats algorithms.

Be careful what you eat.

Wiring from Russia and other places.

IBM banned.

Microsoft wins a standard.

No maglevs in Europe.

Seeking to legalize prostitution.

Years ago, I stayed in a hotel in Mozambique where all the wires were stapled to the interior walls. Lots of electrical tape. It was probably for the best that the power was only intermittent - maybe 4 hours a day,tops.

I do like this particular niece quite a bit, myself.
