Physics and Pixie Dust » American Scientist
by karlcow
The excesses of the Schön case—like the fantastic forgeries of previous eras—throw light onto habits and practices that have come to seem normal. The relentless rat race to produce new results quickly in order to secure the next round of funding or promotion is not without consequences.

The full extent of executive pay
by karlcow

Against Transparency
by karlcow
Likewise with transparency. There is no questioning the good that transparency creates in a wide range of contexts, government especially.

Jodorowsky's Dune: Designed by Giger and Moebius, scored by Pink Floyd, scenery chewed by fat Orson Welles | Boing Boing Gadgets

Yet, I did not know!

The Doers Club: Change Observer: Design Observer
by karlcow
I didn’t read English well, so I mainly taught myself these things by studying the pictures and diagrams. By the time I saw my first windmill on the cover of an American textbook called Using Energy, I was able to apply all this previous knowledge and set out to build my own.
