Intel Betting on (Customized) Commodity Chips for Cloud Computing - NYTimes.com

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/12/19/intel-betting-on-customized-commodity-chips-for-cloud-computing/?_r=0

The reason is, again, computers. Intel's chip fabrication plants are now so automated that leaving out an unwanted core, or changing other properties, is a matter of a few new commands to the machine. Customers are willing to pay a little more for the special run of chips, or pay an engineering fee for the special service.

CIA torture report

Under the Bush administration, the United States of America systematically used torture to advance its political agendas.  Clear cut war crimes, atrocities for which we hung a bunch of high-ranking Nazis at Nuremberg.

Time to show the world our true principles and reinstate our national honor. Time to prosecute George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for crimes against humanity.

CONTRARY BRIN: Correlation vs. Causation? Does the universe conspire against freedom?

http://davidbrin.blogspot.com/2014/12/correlation-vs-causation.html

An honest libertarian - even a "theorist" would recognize and accept the burden that this long and lamentable pattern lays upon our feet.  If 99% of societies were feudal pyramids of hierarchy and inherited status, it suggests that our own - with its emphasis on individualism, rights and competitive creativity is a rare exception. Not an outgrowth of "natural law" but instead an invention, spectacularly clever, complex and needing perpetual maintenance, lest it slump back into older, more entropic ways.

CONTRARY BRIN

http://davidbrin.blogspot.com/

nearly all human societies that had agriculture - and many that didn't - also practiced feudalism, in which a few strong men would gang up to repress all others and establish rules so that their own sons would have harems.

Brain Pickings

http://www.brainpickings.org/

The difficulty is that laws that attempt to enforce special forms of moral behavior breed disrespect for the law and for law-enforcing agencies among those who do not share the beliefs on which these regulations are based. And where disrespect and lawbreaking by the respectable are combined, one also finds connivance with crime in other areas of living.

The more complex a society becomes, the more fully the law must take into account the diversity of the people who live in it. The approach to crime is not a matter for the police and the courts — or even the lawmakers — alone. It is a matter in which the whole society is involved.
