http://egbertowillies.com/2013/07/21/middle-class-must-assert-its-worth-to-assure-their-share-of-americas-wealth
It is time for the middle class to stop accepting crumbs for their labor and innovation. It is time for the middle class to demand, not ask, for programs that recover ill-gotten gains from a system that by design penalizes work and glorifies capital. via Pocket

This low-resolution memory device packs in just a few bytes of data. But it’s enough to spell out [Michael Kohn's] name. He’s been experimenting with using paper discs for data storage.

In the House, a Refusal to Govern - NYTimes.com

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/12/opinion/in-the-house-a-refusal-to-govern.html?_r=4

Concurrency in JavaScript | TypedArray.org

http://typedarray.org/concurrency-in-javascript/
Web Workers are now broadly available in most browsers even on mobile (caniuse.com stats for Web Workers) and give you the power of concurrency from within JavaScript. It will allow you to move expensive computations to other threads, to permit best responsive programming, and ideally open the doors in the future to true parallelization in JavaScript. Let’s have a look at the reasons why you may be interested into leveraging Web Workers.

http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/07/the-secret-to-finlands-success-with-schools-moms-kids-and-everything/277699/?single_page=true
"It seems to me that people in Finland are more secure and less anxious than Americans because there is a threshold below which they won't fall," said Linda Cook, a political scientist at Brown University who has studied European welfare states. "Even if they face unemployment or illness, Finns will have some payments from the state, public health care and education."
