• Sonic Charmer kindly responds (twice) to the Romer paper:  Takeaway:  "Is this even a thing that needs to be regulated at all? What problem is it solving?".  RTWT.
• Great link (NYT), commentary around offshoring the iphone by Cowen.  Cowen is wrong, though (I say that very rarely).  The primary value is company wants worker sufficiently poor to boss around.
• Chris Christie just vaulted to favorite Governor with Gary-Johnson-esque sanity.  Mead.  WSJ.
• Cowen finds useful thinking on Japan.
• Balko's top 3 links on Gingrich, who he doesn't like, are hilarious.
• HBDChick finds the most interesting discussion around evolutionary IQ I've seen in months.  We already know (from prior Aretae noodlings) that heat-dissipation is one of the BIG problems in animals.  We already know that heat dissipation is currently THE big problem in computer chips.  What happens when we think about heat dissipation in the context of brains (HBD warning)?
