| rantnrave:// REDEFers: On first vacation in over a year this week. Will try to publish every day but times may be random. Apologies, I love you, but I need some rest... I love JOHN OLIVER so much I'd consider remerging with the UK. J.O. on TRUMP WALL... I wouldn't vote for TRUMP for an infinite amount of reasons but top on my list is his choice in swag. His campaign hats are atrocious... The real issue at the heart of the democratization of publishing is that anyone who can publish, does. :-)... You should get your publishing license revoked if your are writing "APPLE store is down" headlines... Report from COLORADO: 7 months after bypass surgery, my heart is working. 3 hours of great skiing yesterday. 2 hours on on elliptical day before. Couldn't do 5 mins last year. Getting healthier... Went into a cannabis store in ASPEN. Had to see it. Really nice. As nice as any cool clothing store. They carded me. I thanked the lady. What a compliment! Or law?... I'm not affiliated with any party. I don't agree with anyone on everything. I don't understand sides. I understand issues and compromise... Either everything is a conspiracy or nothing? We live in the time of sweeping generalizations. And many hate those they disagree with... Happy Birthday to one of my best friends in the whole world, NICK LEHMAN. And LAURAN MILLER WALK and SATYA PATEL. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| A few miles northwest of Tunis, with its sidewalk cafés and streets lined by rows of manicured ficus trees and its avenues named after European cities, there is a poor suburb of eighty thousand people called Douar Hicher. The streets are narrow and rutted, with drains cut through the middle, and the houses cluster close together, as if to keep out strangers. | | |

| For a decade, Burundi was home to a unique phenomenon: group jogs involving thousands of people who hit the streets to sing, socialize, and sometimes protest the nation's authoritarian president, Pierre Nkurunziza. In March 2014, he banned the activity. And now runners have become both weapons and victims. | | |

| After ten years off junk, it wasn't something I thought about much anymore. In the early days, every morning seemed to begin with an internal debate about whether or not to use. After a while, the voice inside advocating "just one last taste" faded out into a ghostly echo, and then one day it wasn't there at all. | | |

| Fans estimate that the erudite polymath Isaac Asimov authored nearly 500 full-length books during his life. Even if some that “don’t count” are removed from the list — anthologies he edited, short science books he wrote for young people and so on — Asimov’s output still reaches into the many hundreds of titles. Starting with a spate of science-fiction novels in the 1950s, including the now-classic Foundation series, Asimov’s writing eventually ranged into non-fiction with works of popular science, Big History, and even annotated guides to classic novels like Paradise Lost and Gulliver’s Travels. | | |

| Reinforcement Learning, a key Google DeepMind algorithm, could overhaul news recommendation engines and greatly improve users stickiness. After beating a Go Grand Master, the algorithm could become the engine of choice for true personalization. My interest for DeepMind goes back to its acquisition by Google, in January 2014, for about half a billion dollars. | | |
