Shouldn’t we solve poverty first?
No.

Bill Nye
The Constitution guy?
I can't decide what Bill Nye is more ignorant of — science, or the Constitution: http://t.co/h1Oi4EBpR8

The Case Against Science
“Much of it, perhaps half, is untrue.”
The incentives are quite screwed up.
The Age Of Ultron
…and the point of human existence.
When I was a kid, I read a lot of comic books and (even more) SF. I think it prepared me for life, particularly the future, much more so than people who denigrated it at the time (and now). They’re the poorer for it themselves.
John Nash
He and his wife were killed in an auto accident. A tragic end to a tragic life, but one lived as well as possible.
A Question About Evolution
No, not the scientific theory, the email client.
It’s sending mail, but none of the sent mail for today is showing up in the “Sent” folder. Anyone know what’s going on, or how to trouble shoot?
[Saturday-afternoon update]
OK, mystery solved. The “Sent” folder I’ve been looking at is the one that mirrors the server, and I’m seeing older message there from this week that I was sending from the server, via Roundcube, because I was on my laptop on which I’ve not set up or synched Evolution. The new ones were sent from Evolution, and were stored in the generic “Sent” folder. So I haven’t lost them, but they’re in a different place.
A Pill Of Superheavy Protective Fat
Could it prolong youth?
I’d take it, but I want one that reverses the process. Within limits, of course.
Jeb Bush On Climate
I’m don’t want him to be the nominee, but I agree with what he said. Judith Curry has unearthed an essay from over a century ago that explains the current problem with climate science.
Space Tech Expo
I’m heading down to Long Beach. I’ll have my laptop, but blogging may be light.
The House SPACE Act
Some interesting proposed amendments. Dana wants to extend the learning period indefinitely. So do I. Hope this one passes, but it would still have to be reconciled with the Senate’s five years.
