Stop the cults and start educating people
A lot is being written about the "right" way of eating. It seems like food trends are changing continuously, with new forms and fancy names added almost on a weekly basis. Unfortunately people generally know very little about the food on their plates.
I'm not a big fan of anything that sounds and acts like a cult, whether . . .
Innovation beyond Apps
What is really worth our time and effort?
Recently scientists at Harvard University presented an astonishing achievement. They created an artificial stingray robot, partially from living cells of a rat heart. The device (or whatever you call a half organic / half machine thing) is steered through light signals.

To comment on China

Some of the articles I read could not resist to criticize the project in one way or another. One article compared the ARJ 21 with state of the art Boeing, Airbus, and . . .
Who fears the change
Dealing with the risks from technological innovation
Benjamin Franklin claimed that the only two things certain in life were death and taxes. Today, I'd say the only thing really certain is change.
