The Mises blog is shutting down after almost a decade of stellar economic thought and comment. All is not lost, there will be an archive.

The Mises Blog went live on May 5, 2003. Since then, it has hosted 16,647 posts and 234,839 comments and become one of the highest-ranked economics blogs on the internet, thanks to a fantastic slate of authors and an eager, informed, and intelligent community of readers, commentators, and friends. Thanks so much to all of you for making this possible.

As use of the blogosphere, Facebook, Twitter, and similar tools has exploded in the last few years, the need for a large, diverse, and busy group blog hosted at mises.org has diminished. We all have many channels for sharing news and views, and the formal, âoetraditionalâ organizational blog has become a little old fashioned. Therefore weâ(TM)ve decided to close the Mises blog and replace it with smaller, lighter, more focused, streams â" a news feed and a streamlined opinion blog, the Circle Bastiat. The Mises blog archives will remain on the site now and forever.

Thanks again for being part of the Mises community!

CRAY graveyard?

President Obama spoke in Cairo, Egypt and was proud of his middle name. Why do some people what to silence others from mentioning it?

According to insiders at Google, glasses that run Android are being developed that allow the wearer to see a Head-Up Display. The glasses have their very own 3G/4G connection, meaning they can potentially replace a smartphone. Navigation is also novel and requires head movements such as tilting to perform actions. Thereâ(TM)s sure to be voice control too.

If that doesnâ(TM)t sound futuristic enough, Google is also embedding a camera and GPS into the glasses. By combining the two it will be possible to enhance what the wearer is seeing. Your reality will be augmented to point which direction you need to travel in to reach a given destination, or which shops have deals on you may be interested in.

Almost identical to the "gogs" from the Suki series (that I helped with as a character developer and proofreader). Later, in a fanfic story I wrote, the visual part became contacts and audio was through earbuds inserted deep in the ear canal.

Whole story here

Peter Gleick, an Oakland, Calif., climate scientist and activists confirmed late last night that, as suspected, he was the source of documents purporting to reveal the budget and strategy of the Heartland Institute, a conservative and libertarian public policy think tank. A few weeks ago, Glieck had anonymously sent to reporters some budget documents he'd obtained under false pretenses from the Chicago-based group along with a doctored document that someone else had created purporting to show the group's strategy. The latter was an obvious fake, having been written almost as a parody of those who critique climate alarmism (and personally going after people whose work didn't support Glieck's activism). But many media outlets reported on these documents.

I was asked a few months ago to help out researching the Zeitgeist movement, but really have not come up with much more than the author already mentions in that link. Anybody have anything interesting? Thank you!

If you guessed those mean old Germans you are pretty far off, but they were some of the first students of the Russian system:

The Reich Security Head Office issued to the commandants a full collection of reports concerning the Russian concentration camps. These described in great detail the conditions in, and organization of, the Russian camps, as supplied by former prisoners who had managed to escape. Great emphasis was placed on the fact that the Russians, by their massive employment of forced labor, had destroyed whole peoples.

Just take a look at the comments here. Not a single soul who will even use their registered handle, many of them just rude. Some of them under the delusion that Mercedes could dictate to Hitler too. Where does this notion come from that companies can dictate to police states anyway? It is obviously the other way around.
