Damage Caps and Medical Malpractice Litigation
David Hyman via The Volokh Conspiracy on Tue, 02 Dec. 2008
Thanks Eugene, for inviting me to join the conspiracy – and thanks to those who welcomed me in advance of my actually doing anything to deserve such treatment.

Gravity is just a theory
Seth Godin via Seth's Blog on Tue, 02 Dec. 2008

Shared by mrshl
I've been digging this record as well, and had a similar experience. Ignore it forever, then be all "oh shit, what's this?"
So I’ve had this record for months, I didn’t think much of it at first. It was a process of talking myself in to and out of liking it — one of those records that’s good but you turn it on and think that you’ve h

Cory Doctorow via Boing Boing on Sun, 23 Nov. 2008

For office drones at big companies such as AT&T, United Health Group and Cigna, booting up their computers at the start of the day and waiting for them to shut down takes some decent time. Like 20 minutes at the start and end of the day. An

Robin Hanson via Overcoming Bias on Wed, 19 Nov. 2008

Goodbye Mitch Mitchell
Ramon Medina - LP4 via Music Features (Free Press - H on Thu, 13 Nov. 2008
