Cutting the Middle Class in Two

Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:24:53 -0600

Cutting the Middle Class in Two:

Chris Espinoza on the 99 Percent:

Those who argue that a flat tax is a fair tax miss this mathematical fact. A flat tax accelerates the fall into poverty of the lower middle class by increasing fixed expenses so that a surplus is impossible, and it falls into the noise of the fixed expenses of the wealthy and simply shifts the floor, but not the steepness, of the logarithmic wealth curve. It would cut the middle class in two.

Abandoned Cement Factory that was turned into a house by Ricardo Bofill. The factory has 30 silos, underground galleries, and massive engine rooms. The factory included many inexplicable elements like stairs that climbed to nowhere, reinforced concrete structures which sustained nothing, and random bits of iron hanging in the air.

View From Nowhere

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:55:10 -0600

View From Nowhere:

Jay Rosen:

In pro journalism, American style, the View from Nowhere is a bid for trust that advertises the viewlessness of the news producer. Frequently it places the journalist between polarized extremes, and calls that neither-nor position “impartial.” Second, it’s a means of defense against a style of criticism that is fully anticipated: charges of bias originating in partisan politics and the two-party system. Third: it’s an attempt to secure a kind of universal legitimacy that is implicitly denied to those who stake out positions or betray a point of view. American journalists have almost a lust for the View from Nowhere because they think it has more authority than any other possible stance.

Chillmark on mHealth 2011:

But what these start-ups really need is to simply focus on addressing the age old question: ‘What’s in it for me?’ These companies need to stop the whining and do their homework defining the value proposition for not just the consumer, or just the doctor, but think more broadly of the impact their solution may have on the delivery of care, and how each stakeholder may benefit. Unfortunately, as these conference clearly showed, the mHealth market is still heavy on hype and little on substance.

The Contents of Kris Donegan's Road Bag

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:42:06 -0600

krisdonegan:

I’m the guy that carries a flashlight. And a Leatherman. And a lot of other stuff.

The more I travel, the more I value preparedness. I spend half of my year away from my home, working or on the road, so I decided to take what I think I might need with me. I guess you could call it a possibles bag, but I don’t have survival stuff in it, and it isn’t designed to get me through 3 days of SHTF situations like a bug out bag. It’s just the things I find myself needing on a regular, or semi-regular, basis. Just this weekend I made a second guitar strap out of a length of 550 cord. Rope! You can always use a good length of rope, so I have a little in my bag. And, it came in really handy. The other stuff is useful on a dark stage, or when you flew in and your tools are still on the bus… etc. So, for the curious, here’s (mostly) what’s in it right now.

1. Sigg water bottle

2. Cliff Bars

3. Whole almonds

4. Tobacco Pipe

5. Pipe Tobacco

6. Matches

7. In-ears

8. Reading glasses

9. Phone charger

10. Spare keys

11. Ear plugs

12. Pens

13. Nail clippers/file

14. Passport

15. Flashlight

16. AA batteries

17. Cigar tin with sewing kit, 550 cord, extra matches, a lighter and a knife sharpener

18. Bandana

19. All Access passes

20. Change

21. Bottle opener

22. Wallet

23. Leatherman

24. Binder clip

25. Laptop sleeve

26. Toothbrush

27. Toothpaste

28. Band-aids

29. Neosporin

30. Advil

Carrying a bag was a bit of a pain at first, but now I couldn’t go back to pockets if I tried. It’s too useful.

Any LaTeX user with an iPad has had the same thought: I want to use my favourite document creation system on my favourite device. Despite everything I am about to say about the LaTeX codebase, there is nothing like it for composing beautiful documents, and the iPad is the most beautiful platform…

EU Officials Conclude Water Might Not Prevent Dehydration

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 13:09:44 -0600

EU Officials Conclude Water Might Not Prevent Dehydration:

Another WNA find: a three-year investigation by a group of 21 scientists concludes that there’s not enough evidence to prove that drinking water prevents dehydration, so bottled water companies will be prohibited by law from claiming otherwise. Said a Member of European Parliament, “This is stupidity writ large. The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart, and yet here they are: highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true. If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great European project then this is it.”

Twice this week I’ve noticed something strange: tiny smiley faces hidden in plain sight on otherwise unassuming web pages. They look like the exact same face, but I found them on two completely unrelated webpages. See them for yourself:

1) Studio on Fire, a letterpress print shop in Minnesota.

2) Project Medishare, a medical non-profit in Miami.

“So, our serious Republican [Romney] is committed on ideological grounds to demolishing successful programs and replacing them with conservative fantasies that have failed repeatedly in the past. Maybe we would actually have been better off with Rick Perry, who might have left good government programs in place because he couldn’t remember what they were”

- Krugman, at his best.
