The truth about Avesil

NPR--NPR!--discovers that markets aren't the cause of the problems in our health-care system and that the currently proposed liegislation won't fix them. Stephen Spruill at National Review Online cracks:
Democrats have accused conservatives of spreading fear and misinformation about their health-care legislation. They might want to look into this new and most insidious propaganda arm of the conservative movement: NPR.
Scott Beaulier and Pete Boettke:
Of course, our call for debt repudiation is not a new one. Like many good ideas in economics, Adam Smith was there long before us. “When it becomes necessary for a state to declare itself bankrupt ... a fair, open, and avowed bankruptcy ... is both least dishonourable to the debtor, and least hurtful to the creditor,” he argued. In other words, when the financial storm arrives — and it will — the juggling tricks must stop.
. . . that's how you fix the K-12 schools. It's no mystery. If you don't believe me, read about Leroy Anderson Elementary School in San Jose and listen to Charles Weis, superintendent of schools in Santa Clara, CA: “We know what needs to be done; we know how to do it.”

— Mark Cuban, Blog Maverick"When starting and growing your business, it's important to bootstrap with your own resources as much as possible."
— Mike Smith, Guerrilla Freelancing"Become a cash flow king. Manage cash flow like there is no tomorrow. Know which vendors can wait and who needs to be paid right away. Always have some money on hand for emergencies and only borrow if you know when you can pay it back."
— Jared Reitzin, Mobile Marketing Watch"Overconfidence is a killer. Question your business plan as much as you would question your nephew's business plan if he were to hit you up for a loan."
— Alex Tabarrok, Marginal Revolution"Good word of mouth is the best marketing money can't buy."
— Muhammad Saleem, MuhammadSaleem.com"An idea by itself is almost worthless. It's how you execute that matters. Focus on execution."

In fact, according to Gene Weingarten he was really, really unfunny.
There are worse qualities in a president.
Johns Hopkins faculty outline mini-courses on various topics.
Includes "How These Things Work: Business Management Writ Large". I'd skip Berle and Means, but the Mokyr, Hayek, and Chandler volumes are good for autodidacts or anybody else.

Most of these were great.
Forbes analysis using four factors: violent crime, workplace fatality rate, traffic death rate, and natural disaster risk. Minneapolis-St. Paul wins and Miami-Fort Lauderdale loses.
Surprising to me was the city that ranked worst on the workplace fatality rate: Indianapolis.
The crackdown on BitTorrent has just moved unauthorized copying to a venue much harder to police.
Interesting account of how a firm called Backblaze constructs huge amounts of cloud storage inexpensively. They need to because they offer unlimited, automatic backup over the Internet for just $5/month (per computer and "except your operating system, applications, temporary files, or those over 4GB").
Not very. Clock speed of 1.024 MHz and 2 K of main memory.
And that, friends, was just 40 years ago.
Interesting post by Ironman at Political Calculations (9/23). It doesn't seem economic yet but maybe soon.
I imagine you could entertain a little kid with this for at least a few minutes.
This is no doubt quite old, but I just recently ran across it. Very funny and has this absolutely beautiful evisceration of sociology:
For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory, or 'crying,' behavior forms." If you can keep this up for fifty or sixty pages, you will get a large government grant.
