L33t Links: About Time
Links post! Been far too long since I did one of those. Some very select stuff from the past few months:
Side Effected: A short-story film by my cousin Lev, now making the film festival circuit. Good stuff.
Daylight Savings Time is Terrible: A proposal to eliminate daylight savings time and move the continental US to two time-zones. It would certainly make working on the east coast for a west coast based company a bit more convenient.
The Turning Point in Freestyle Chess: Chess computers play at grandmaster level, but for now humans plus computers are the ultimate chess-playing team. But will that stay the case?
Barcelona as Airport Suburb: Housing prices have become so high in London that it might be cheaper to live in Barcelona and commute via Ryanair four days a week. Crazy stuff, though I wouldn't want the economic viability of my living arrangement to be dependent on the exact pricing model of a single discount airline.
The 120 Hour Workweek: An interesting experiment in productivity and self-quantification.
More Guests, Empty Houses: An article on the effect of AirBnB on housing prices in Marfa, Texas.
21 Amazing Hotels: Pretty pictures!
