Sapir-Whorf for Rationalists

Very thought provoking and quite apart from reading and thinking about it, I'm feeling the need actually to do something about it.

it's a truism that anyone who wants you to stop thinking isn't your friend but it's equally true that anyone who insists that you think in exactly the way they've deemed proper is also not your friend.

Spending time cleaning up my RSS feeds in Newsblur and it isn't easy. I can export the OPML, and work directly on that, but is there a tool that will let me do so easily? Codebeautify's treeview doesn't let me edit the tree. opml.org seems dead. Is there anything else?

The UK is wasting a lot of wind power

Very grateful to John Naughton for pointing to this article, which explains the problems and some of the solutions and which seems like an obvious dose of sanity.

 Ultimately, like many discussions around solutions to climate changes, this is a “yes, and” rather than an “or” choice. We can, and should, build more transmission capacity and storage, whilst reforming the market such that the UK’s phenomenal success in deploying wind power can be finessed to more precisely match our energy needs.

I'm sure I don't understand all the details, but I feel as if I understand more than I ever did before.
