CBC Newsworld uses Huffington Post expert again
Thu, 29 May 2008 16:04:14 PDT
The gals at the fair and balanced state-owned CBC Newsworld are promoting the salacious, lascivious, “Sex and the City” movie. Over the CBC banner “SEX AND SOCIETY”. Therefore they had to engage an expert (again, for perhaps the 8,000th time) from the far-left Huffington Post (pure, nothing but, all about, yummy left-wing-promoting and rabidly anti-Bush, anti-conservative politics) web site. It’s news. Naturally, the Huffington Post expert was introduced without a whisper of the fa

Daniel Drezner is discussing China's power in the world. Soft and economic. I liked this quote from one of his commenters re: the success of state capitalism (i.e. sovereign wealth funds). 18 Jun 2008 at 7:45 am, DWPittelli: Yes, and Japan’s MITI and other government control of the economy has given it some of the world’s strongest growth rates. Japan will continue to dominate global markets, to increase its share of manufactured goods, and to buy up premium US real estate. – My dad, ~1989 Tr
Blackwater wants lawsuit decided under Islamic law

Source: The News & Observer The private military company Blackwater has cultivated a patriotic reputation, with its staff of retired military and former police officers, and the requirement that most of its workers swear an oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution.

Reddit opens its code to the masses, goes Open Source
Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:08:23 PDT
Reddit seems to have taken a page from heavy hitters like FaceBook by making the announcement that it has decided to Open Source its code. This is great news for the Digg competitor, and will give it an edge over its rival in a way that continuing to compete on a flat playing field never could. Digg remains stuck in the rut of having mostly males of a certain age and maturity level as its heavy users. These heavy users ensure that new, fresh content from non-mainstream sites rarely sees the fr

Hackers’ comments on Katz’s "Don’t become a scientist" paper February 24th, 2008 by jose There’s an excellent discussion at news.ycombinator on why one should _not_ pursue an academic career. The post started with the ‘don’t become a scientist‘ article by Jonathan I. Katz that we commented before. What I find interesting is that ycombinator represents a population of very smart people (hackers and startup founders) who are not academics but most probably have had offers to go to grad school/t
