The Contradiction of Capital Markets…and more
First, a science-fictional side: Here's hoping that Hugo voters
will consider that Stanley Schmidt has just retired after his long and
brilliant tenure as editor at ANALOG Magazine. It is his last year of
eligibility and it might be nice to honor him, at long last.And yes, I
will have some unusual and skew-perspective takes on all the
transparency-related news, from Google Glasses to the NSA reve
Witchcraft on Catalyst — Scary weather is coming, it’s all our fault, be afraid!
There they go again. Last night the ABC again used taxpayer
dollars to post up a slick advertisement for their favourite religion.
Because Catalyst won’t read skeptical blogs, interview skeptics, or ask

President Morsi. So what to think of this? On the one hand, Morsi was
