Friday Links!
It's been a struggle this week, but my elbow has about 90% of movement back (not strength, but I don't need strength for keyboarding), so I should be back to normal on Monday.How amazing is this? Aerial radar turns up a Viking ship in a farmer’s field.
I always thought this made sense: give money to the people who will actually spend it. What would happen if we randomly gave $1,000 to poor families? Now we know.
From Matt Teets, and it's a terrific listen: The Punchline | Radiolab (John Scott in the NHL All-Star Game).
From Mark H., and somehow it's always the Russians: Migrating Russian eagles run up huge data roaming charges.
From Wally, and it's eye-opening (sorry): The Great American Eye-Exam Scam. This is delicious: The Case of the Felonious Bread. A fascinating companion piece: A Conversation With the Team That Made Bread With Ancient Egyptian Yeast. This is disturbing: John Barnett on Why He Won’t Fly on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. And then it all went terribly wrong: Crane Operator Fails At Doing His Job So Terribly That It's Actually Glorious. Seems reasonable: I ditched Google for DuckDuckGo. Here's why you should too. An excellent read: What Japan’s love of nostalgia says about its economy.
From C. Lee, and it's a disgrace: Ford workers break their silence on faulty transmissions: 'Everybody knew'. An interesting read: Japan youth sinks in reading skills on global aptitude index.
