Futures

Lots of good stuff from a DTI-sponsored futures initiative. Sigma scan and Delta scan – they’re very similar, but the delta is more focused on technology. They only mention the singularity once, for what that’s worth.

Are we an ant on a donut (Adams) or ” bits of stellar matter that got cold by accident, bits of a star gone wrong.” (Eddington)

Zubka is user-generated head hunting. An interesting prospect.

Nice collection of food writings from Andy Hayler, who I don’t remember reading, but probably have done. Probably not quite the same taste in food or restaurants to ours, but well worth looking through.
