No theme here other than “stuff I happened across recently”
- Terry Tao math blog. Brain stretching.
- How Goldman profited on housing crash. Don’t know how reliable this source is but disturbing.
- Controversy about whether there is or is not a giant magma chamber under the state of Washington. Probably not but a great disaster movie in the making.
- Thread on design versus iteration.
- Automated sports writing. Amazingly readable. (Thanks Phil).
- The Billion Dollar Gram. Another one via Phil.
- Gravitational Corridors. Cool.
- Nowhere are we more honest than the search box.
- NASA dollars pissed away on 2012 nutballs
- Why it is harder than ever to get into some colleges. Interesting question about whether this applies to other markets.
