Links from July 9th

July 12, 2009 / Rafe / 0 Comments
  • Discover Magazine: The Brain: Stop Paying Attention: Zoning Out Is a Crucial Mental State. Neuroscientists explain my usual state of mind.
  • FireQuery. jQuery-specific enhancements for Firebug.
  • The Zinn-Segaran Experiential Greatness Scale. You never know when this is going to come in handy.
  • Bruce Schneier: The Pros and Cons of Password Masking. I think it all depends on the environment in which the password will be entered.
  • Threat Level: Judge Acquits Lori Drew in Cyberbullying Case, Overrules Jury. This lady is a hateful loser, but making it a crime to violate a site's terms of service is awfully bad law.
  • Shared Equity Mortgages. An interesting idea for people who don’t have enough money to make a down payment on their house.
  • Vanity Fair: Todd S. Purdum on Sarah Palin. An awesome article that ran on Sarah Palin just before she resigned.
  • Glenn Greenwald: The suppressed fact: Deaths by U.S. torture. In the discussions of torture, the number of people who were waterboarded is discussed frequently, the number of people in US custody who have died almost never is.
  • O’Reilly Radar: Radical Transparency: The New Federal IT Dashboard. Pretty amazing application of Drupal.
  • O’Reilly Radar: Want A Job? Learn SharePoint, Says Gary Blatt. There’s a whole other world out there I barely know exists.
  • Firefox 3.5 for developers. The stuff you need to know.
  • Scott Rosenberg: Salon.com IPO: It was ten years ago today. I thought it was a bad idea back then.
  • Robert Reich: Why the Critics of a Public Option for Health Care Are Wrong. I’m not giving up on real health care reform.
  • FiveThirtyEight: George F. Will Admits Public Option Will Cut Costs. At least half the stuff people are saying about health insurance isn’t true.
  • Slate: Why do Iranian police uniforms say "police" in English? I was wondering.
