Just some facts. No interpretations. This blog post got nine reads by the end of the day. This photo got about the same. The photo above has had 22,122 views, 421 faves, and 21 comments.

The music lives. Ted Gioia has a great post on Sly Stone, who died today.
A winner for me anyway. Online Sports Betting is for Losers now has more than 3000 reads.

Be not afraid. Good observations and advice from Dana Blankenhorn about AI. Along the same lines, also this from Don Duval.
The points would remain the same. And original. I wrote Making a New World in March 2005 and self-published it (in a file pile at searls.com) because nobody else would. If someone wanted to publish it today, I would mostly just change references to companies that have gone out of business or changed their minds.
