Benefits of Private Prisons
The Public-Private Alliance disagrees with an editorial that praised a Justice Department decision to phase out the use of private prisons.Steve Owen, Pablo Paez and Mike Murphy assume that the Bureau of Prisons is doing a good enough job.
Doing the wrong thing more cheaply than a federal department is not a public benefit.

The Story Behind Our Most Requested Recipe Ever
The plum torte didn’t seem to have the makings of a hit when it was published in 1983. Thirty-three years later, it’s still beloved.http://www.nytimes.com/1983/09/21/garden/food-notes-the-food-at-59th-and-lex.html
The plumbs never survive more than a few hours. It hardly seems necessary to dilute them with cake.
Te plumbs are shipped short of ripe.
Selection of the softer ones is necessary all through their very short season.
The end comes when all in the box are damaged by aggressive squeezing.

Others can try to bear the development costs.
The Tesla accident was probably the result of inadvertent stealth.
There is almost no return from an angled reflective surface.
Working from home is not conducive of long thoughts.

Review: ‘A Truck Full of Money’ and a Thirst to Put It to Good Use
Tracy Kidder’s book chronicles the life of Paul English, a Kayak.com founder who got rich, battled bipolar disorder and found a gratifying outlet in altruism.I wonder what he thinks he is learning?
There is room for a filter that removes advertisements from the digital stream,
retains the cookie and clicks on the add.
Such an automaton, if distributed, would ruin google's business model
by forcing their advertisers to pay for null service.
Their customers should refuse to pay.
I would like never to see a Warby Parker add.
