The state of the art swaddling is a blanket made of pure merino wool, which absorbs and releases moisture away from the baby in warm conditions and insulates it when the temperature drops.

The obvious future of in-store experience: you find something you like, reach into your pocket for a small device, scan the barcode, and the device tells you whether and where the same product is available for a lower price.

Steve Sailer‘s take on the whole second-language thing.

For example, even though India is growing in importance, it doesn’t make sense for Americans to learn an Indian language because there are 15 national languages in India, and everybody who is anybody knows English. In China, there are a number of wildly different-sounding dialects, and, besides, be serious, you are never going to get anywhere with studying Chinese. It might make sense to learn Japanese, since so few Japanese learn English, but the Japanese are creeped out by the sight of white people speaking Japanese fluently, so why inflict that upon them? Lots of 19th Century scholars in gloomy Europe fell in love with Arabic, with its beautiful alphabet, but America has its own desert, so we’ve never put much emphasis on Arabic.

Jerry Pournelle has come up with a great term — don’t know whether it’s original to him — to describe the parasites of the Overclass who live off of the rest of us: ‘tax eaters’ (as opposed to ‘taxpayers’). I love it.

Applied Freakanomics.

His main finding: blacks who “sound black” earn salaries that are 10 percent lower than blacks who do not “sound black,” even after controlling for measures of intelligence, experience in the work force, and other factors that influence how much people earn. (For what it is worth, whites who “sound black” earn 6 percent lower than other whites.)

We tend to think of the humble spud as nothing but carbs – maybe this is why fewer than 20 per cent of meals eaten by under-35s contain potatoes.

In fact, potatoes are packed full of vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium more vitamin C than an apple, and vitamins B6 and B1. During World War II, government information leaflets advised Britons to eat ‘at least 1lb of potatoes daily’ to provide vitamin C to ‘prevent against fatigue and help fight infection’.
