I Had Lunch at the CIA
Ever since reading Michael Ruhlman’s The Making of a Chef in 2007, I’ve wanted to have a meal at the CIA. No, not that CIA, although I hear they do have a half-decent cafeteria. This CIA is the Culinary Institute of America, one of the world’s finest cooking schools, located in Hyde Park, NY. Long term readers of this blog may recall that it was Ruhlman’s tales of life at the CIA that led me to my first food blog – Butter Pig – whose author Tom Dowdy had written a diary of his own 3 months at the school. Blown away by what I had discovered, I bought the CIA textbook The Professional C...

Goliath, Meet David
BY KIM BELLARD I’m a sucker for underdog stories.  I love unconventional wisdom overthrowing conventional wisdom. I’m deeply suspicious of Big Tech, Big Oil, and big health.  I know unfettered competition is not always to my benefit but get nervous when I don’t really have many options.   So when I read that Google is starting to worry about a threat to its search dominance and that TikTok and other social media giants are scared of a rival start-up, well, count me in. I just wish it was health care goliaths that were worried. ————– You probably use Google to search on...

It Seems Australia Is Really Finding It Difficult To Make The Hoped For Digital Transformation!
ConclusionThe aspiration of the PC interim report is clear: it is about how declining productivity can be addressed through a better digital economy. Earlier this month, Treasurer Jim Chalmers also said that he hoped the digital dividend report would spur a genuine national conversation about how to reverse the poor performance, and flagged that boosting productivity would be a focus of the Jobs and Skills Summit.While the PC interim report is a strong statement of why Australia should be doing better than it is, its recommendations seem to fall short of the mark. Better digital infrastructure, data sharing, data skills an...

Chaos Continues After Ransomware Hits UK ’ s NHS
The following is a guest article by Itay Bochner, Director of Malware Analysis at OPSWAT. Patients can’t get their medicine, psychiatrists can’t add reports to the system and provide their professional opinion in court, and only last week was the medical helpline number 111 restored. The manual logging of patient records is resulting in piles of paper documentation, which doctors are saying could take months to input into the online system once it’s restored. The ransomware attack on Advanced, one of the UK’s biggest software providers for its National Healthcare System, is turning into one of the biggest c...

Vaccine Myocarditis Update
BY ANISH KOKA The European Medicines Agency decided on July 19, 2021 that myocarditis and pericarditis be added to the list of adverse effects of both messenger RNA (mRNA) based vaccines (BNT162b2 [Pfizer-BioNTech] and mrna-1273 [Moderna]) against COVID-19. This advice was based on numerous reports of myocarditis that followed a clinical pattern that strongly suggested a causal link between these particular vaccines and myocarditis/pericarditis. The adverse events that appeared to be predominantly in young men typically occurred within a week after injection, and were clustered after the second dose of the vaccine serie...

A Libertarian View on Restoring the Guardrails of Democracy

How Common Has Private Currency Been?
Lawrence H. WhiteRecently, an investment advisor and Bitcoin proponenttweeted the claim that “[f]or most of human history” the “[s]eparation of money and state was the norm, even if the state stamped their ruler’s face on the coin.” Some strong disagreement (and some strong support) followed the tweet. The mostcategorical criticism asserted: “Money is and always has been a creation of government. ” A somewhat milder challenge asserted that “Private moneys have seldom been main media of exchange.”First, let ’s clarify the object of the discussion. If we define “money” the way that economist...
