A Proposed Regulation
The story about United dragging a passenger off an overbooked plane highlights how crazy the current system is. I would not go so far as to say that airlines should never overbook, but it seems that when they overbook, they should fully bear the consequences. They should be required to keep raising the offered compensation until they get volunteers to give up their seats. If $800 does not work, then try $1600 or $8000. I am sure volunteers will appear as the price rises. This alternative system would have three benefits: 1. Those who can delay their travel at least cost will be... more »

Perhaps it is time to go that route. The case has sent a chill through the Taiwan activist community, for the China government said he threatened "national security".

Stockholm suspect 'admits truck attack' per BBC News
This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39543750 ends with two sentences that illustrate just how stupid Western society is. 'After applying for residency in 2014, he was informed in December 2016 that "he had four weeks to leave the country", police official Jonas Hysing said. He disappeared and, in February, was officially put on a wanted list.' It seems that the relevant authorities actually believe that someone who's failed in their application to stay in the West will meekly wait around to be deported.

Hollow Planet Seismic Model
There are cultural claims supporting a hollow earth and then my own work on cloud cosmology and the three tiers of matter led me unwillingly there as well. My physics explains why this can be true. Now we have a chap who has taken the conjecture and really tested it against our known data and models and finds that the Hollow Earth theory is the best fit. Thus had i never heard of Newton i would have had no problem accepting all this. The most important take home here is that the shell is around 700 kilometers thick. Better yet, it is all pretty rigid rock an... more »
100-Year-old dairy company dumps cows’ milk for vegan plant-based alternatives
[image: Image: 100-Year-old dairy company dumps cows’ milk for vegan plant-based alternatives] The shocker is that milk has lost half of its market globally. That is unfortunate and i suspect largely due to what has happened in terms of industrialized dairy farms. This must eventually drive a proper organic, grass fed dairy suppling raw milk. Yet that is some ways off and really needs a technology work up to allow transition. Raw milk can compete and fermented milk products do eliminate the sugars. I do see a day in which multiple large herbivores will become milk sources as... more »
