  1. Tesla Gives the California Power Grid a Battery Boost 

    I am not celebrating as yet.
    Battery storage must prove durable. 


  2. Being the Voice in Your Child’s Head 

    "Our children will eventually go wherever they like, and with whomever they like. They will watch whatever they wish, play whatever games appeal to them. As parents, we cling hopefully to the small moral victories that accrue whenever, for example, we manage to plant our parental sensibilities in their brains, so that they hear our voices even when we aren’t there."
  3. Gray Matter

    The Normalization Trap 

    The problem rests with revealed truth. 
    That which is best behavior changes as the cultural matrix evolves. 
    There is no absolute standard of good.
    People discover patterns of behavior that benefit the whole.
    Those patterns should be encouraged.
    People discover patterns of behavior that are injurious to the whole.
    Those patterns of behavior should be discouraged.


  4. Paul Massey Has Raised $1.6 Million, but Many New Yorkers May Not Know Why 

     Paul Massey probably should not be mayor of The City of New York.
    Realestate is not the justification for the city. 

  5. The Upshot

    Are You Married to Your Party? 

    A party is a cooperative tool for the accomplishment of individual aims.
    A party is a corporation.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States 
    Parties become moribund and have since about 1800.

     
  6. Senate Democrats Aim Their Limited Firepower at Trump’s Nominees 

    There is no prospect for party cooperation. 


  7. Drug Makers Accused of Fixing Prices on Insulin 

    Yes. 


  8. Under Taliban Siege, a Female Doctor’s Trial by Fire 

    The U.S. should not have bombed the hospital.

    The U.S. "Has a tiger by the tail".

  9. The Upshot

    A Republican Plan for Medicare Gets a Revival 

    The plan, if enacted, will destroy the Trump presidency. 


  10. The Neediest Cases

    Mother and Son Reunite Only to Face Her Cancer Diagnosis 

    U.S. governments do not perform charity. 

    They have attempted to eliminate the need for charity.
