Anarchaia was the first, but there are many copies. And they

If you’re having

Confused about how the unitary HTML5 draft is being developed in and by both the WHATWG and the W3C's HTMLWG? At some point I intend to flesh this out, but for now, consider the situation of the Third Dáil.

Here’s how I ogranize my Dock:
At the University of Chicago, economists lean to the right of the economics profession. They are known for saying, in effect, “Markets work well. Use the market.”
At MIT and other bastions of mainstream economics, most economists are to the left of center but to the right of the academic community as a whole. These economists are known for saying, in effect, “Markets fail. Use government.”
[Economists at George Mason say], “Markets fail. Use markets.”

Muravchik states and tries to refute several critiques of neoconservative ideology, but does not even manage to acknowledge the existence of what I think is the most persuasive critique: that the U.S. government, like all governments, tends to be short-sighted, incompetent, and corrupt. Therefore, charging it with Herculean tasks like spreading democracy to countries with no democratic tradition, and with little in common culturally, linguistically, or otherwise with Americans, is presumptively a foolish idea.

I think there’s a better way than reconfiguring office space to encourage communication and collaboration—a way that allows people to work where they want with the level of quiet and privacy they need.

Paul Huff just released facebook.el, an Emacs client library for the Facebook API. Good stuff. Shameless plug: it uses my JSON library.
“I wish this company understood the value of openness, but they don’t, so I’m going to keep buying their closed, crippled shit until they get it.” Yeah, let me know how that works out for you.

I’m not usually one for protests, but today’s, in support of the Burmese anti-government protests, I can get behind. Burma’s military junta has got to go. To participate, all you have to do is wear a red shirt today. I happen to already wear a red shirt on Fridays.
