I think every contact sport, fantasy inspired or no, needs a robust TBI policy. I will discourage Theo from playing in them.

I am so excited for this game.

A family is put through the criminal justice system, and a man suffered a terrible death by pneumonia, because the law didn't let him end his life cleanly.

Rare at galactic scales, less rare at cluster scales?

From the NTSB investigation. Autopilot can't help you if you use it wrong. Amazing that the crash wasn't worse.

Good (if depressing) demonstration of the contrast between male and female experience.

Being a male feminist (or other ally) should be hard.

Neat little open source toy that helps you figure out various geometry constructions.

I'm surprised at how how high-tech the process is now.

Private gains, public losses. Sounds like a preview of the financial crisis (or the death of Sears) almost cost New York their iconic station.

Some valid points. I still like the movie, even if it's not really Trek.

The profit motive has broken the Internet with centralization and a terrible business model.

Interesting commentary on internet celebrity and gamer subculture.

Like many current Republican stars, Walker may not be particularly racist, but he pursues policies with a disproportionate impact on urban non-whites and relies on publicity from racist talk show hosts and racially-motivated white voters.

Spaceship grammar! If this lives up to even a fraction of its hype, I'll enjoy it. (I'm looking at you, Spore.)

Neat use of forced perspective.

I'm a little surprised he didn't talk about informational entropy, but some great points on cultural assumptions and communication.

It would be nice to reform this, but seems unlikely to pass.

Trinity's opening scene really is her best moment. Same for Wildstyle. I can't speak to other examples.

Kinda sad, even if it's not his fault.

I think this article still badly misses the point on what Apple is up to, despite describing it.

Thank you, teachers.

Highlighting how Tim Cook has made Apple even better as a big company than it probably would have been under The Steve.

I seriously doubt this is actually hard - they could budget for it, they just choose not to.

Migrating serialization from Xerces 2.x to 3.x

Very cool, though kinda shows the obvious - more people means slower trains.

This looks amazing. Can it live up to the hype?

I find this trend deeply disturbing. Once you have these kinds of weapons, and think of them as tools, you will find an excuse to use them (as evidenced by the increase in SWAT raids).

The more I read about it, the more it sounds like OpenDoc, but secure.

Good summary of the ridiculous lobbying that is ruining our internet.
