Exxon’s Russian Roulette by Peter Maass. How can you turn $3.2 billion into $500 billion in a day?
If you are Vladimir Putin, the prime minister of Russia, and Rex Tillerson, the chief executive of Exxon, you announce a deal that allows Exxon to explore for oil in Russia’s Arctic waters. According to Putin, who last week said, “It’s scary to utter such huge figures,” the deal could reach $500 billion. According to Exxon’s news release, all that’s been agreed so far is an investment of $3.2 billion. The only certainty is that the energy industry’s numbers game sometimes resembles the magical calculations the financial industry relied on before the 2008 crash.
Take natural gas. The investments have been encouraged by bullish numbers from, among others, the US Energy Department’s Energy Information Administration, which earlier this year estimated that the Marcellus contains an astounding 410 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

Richard II 5.5 from Shakespeare's Globe. Google Kills Its Other Plus, and How to Bring It Back. Google+ is the fastest-growing social network in history, with 40 million users since its June launch.
To help them focus, Google’s quietly shuttered a number of products, removing iGoogle and Google Reader’s social features and closing Google Labs, Buzz, Jaiku and Code Search in the last two weeks alone. But in doing so, they also killed off one of its oldest and most useful tools, from its most popular product. On Wednesday, Google retired a longer-standing “plus”: the + operator, a standard bit of syntax used to force words and phrases to appear in search results. The operator was part of Google since its launch in 1997 and built into every search engine since. Occupy Wall Street beta tests a new way of living.

Stutzman’s farm to ask for his take on the renegade Amish of Bergholz, Ohio — a splinter group that includes several members recently arrested after participating in assaults on other Amish — I was too late to break the news. I knew I would be. Several of my fellow English (that is, non-Amish) residents of Ashland County had been to see Mr. Stutzman earlier that morning. Wilson - Mixtape of the Lost Decade. The Phantom Time Hypothesis, developed by Heribert Illig, proposes that error and falsification have radically distorted the historical record.
In his analysis, we have dilated the course of true events, so that they appear to cover far greater lengths of time than in fact passed. The so-called dark ages, for example, only appear that way because those centuries were mere decades. Respectable historians give this idea no credence.

Over the past two weeks, the biggest physics news has been the apparent observation of neutrinos (nearly undetectable subatomic particles) moving faster than the vacuum speed of light.
At first glance, this would seem to violate Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which fixes the vacuum speed of light at meters per second, and as a consequence makes it in principle impossible to travel faster than that speed.

Reviving Old Computers (PowerBook G4) - My Life Dock. USENIX 2011 Keynote: Network Security in the Medium Term, 2061-2561 AD. The question I’m going to spin entertaining lies around is this: what is network security going to be about once we get past the current sigmoid curve of accelerating progress and into a steady state, when Moore’s first law is long since burned out, and networked computing appliances have been around for as long as steam engines? I’d like to start by making a few basic assumptions about the future, some implicit and some explicit: if only to narrow the field. For starters, it’s not impossible that we’ll render ourselves extinct through warfare, be wiped out by a gamma ray burster or other cosmological sick joke, or experience the economic equivalent of a kernel panic – an unrecoverable global error in our technosphere.
Any of these could happen at some point in the next five and a half centuries: survival is not assured. The Man Behind The Deconstructionist Mod The Stanley Parable.
