Can you explain this comment? While the disciplines are distinct, In pop-sci articles it's not uncommon to hear from both.
While I agree with the bulk of what the author's saying here, this struck me as an unfair statement: >Now it just so happens that within the past decade or so the United States has, in effect, run two experiments — one in Iraq, the other in Libya — to test whether the theory of spontaneous order works out as the libertarian tradition would predict. That wasn't an experiment in spontaneous order as described by Smith or the 'libertarian tradition.' It was an experiment in what happens when a power vacuum is suddenly created in a volatile political environment.
As a researcher I've been on teams depending on grant funding, but I've never been a PI so my experience is pretty limited, but what I do know is that you need to be prepared for quite a bit of red tape. Deadlines for action on the part of the grant awarder are more like guidelines. Good scores don't necessarily mean you'll get funded, but they are a good sign. Apply often and be very descriptive!
I don't disagree with the thrust of this article, but the conclusion is a little vague. The call to be more empathetic and pay attention to society's outsiders could be fleshed out a little more.

What are your issues with GRRM, his editor, and the text?
Thanks for the warning. My goal here is to realize the end of a part of my life without engaging in any of that sort of masochism. It's comforting that this is a pretty universal experience.
The title is a little misleading here - the artist listed for each state is the most 'distinctive' pick for that state, ie the one who sees the most relative increase in popularity in that state. James Blake isn't the most popular answer for a favorite artist among New Yorkers, but he's picked more often in New York than in other states.
Scotch.
The song that Passion Pit sampled in Sleepyhead is pretty good.
>lost opportunity to fold proteins, predict weather, whatever. You have some other good points here, but protein folding and weather prediction are not bottlenecked by available CPU cycles.

I got excited thinking this was a premature release of After the Disco, but I guess I'll have to wait until January.
Soon It Will Be Cold Enough is Grade A focusing music.
My current favorite is Dragon's Milk, a stout aged in bourbon barrels with a lot going on in the flavor department. It's pricey but worth it.
Anyone know of a way to find Asylum? Amazon lists it as currently unavailable.
ATP synthase has been described as analogous to a molecular gear in bio texts for a long time. That said, this is on a wholly different scale and very cool.
These are fun to read. I suspect part of this is because I tend to think of illicit drug use as a time sink or worse, and realizing that a capital-G great person managed to be so influential in spite of a 'bad' habit emphasizes their brilliance. The idea that greatness can come from drug use is even more alluring. In some of these cases I think the author may be reaching. Watson's friend told some guy who then told a British tabloid that he credits LSD with the discovery of the double helix? I'm not denying the value of a psychedelic experience, but you don't have to play telephone to support its existence. The anecdote about Erdös' wager was pretty funny.
