RSS feeds from the Net.Law weblog: Cornell Law School has two feeds for US Supreme Court decisions, one for recent decisions, and one longer term. The American Bar Assoc has a feed for its Law Practice Today magazine.   I just finished Moneyball. Fascinating premise -- baseball insiders are idiots. They spend money to buy speed and drama, but money doesn't buy wins, and wins are what get you into postseason play. Instead, Oakland general manager Billy Beane hired a number-crunching Harvard grad who had never played the game, and together with information harvested by irascible pundits and fans, reinvented baseball science and then economics, with stunning results. As in the software industry, conventional wisdom that money buys power, was only true if you believed it to be true. Games were actually won by taking pitches, getting walked, not sacrificing, and resisting steal attempts. Defense matters much less than getting on base. Personal computers and then the Internet made all the difference. We have a sub-directory containing articles and howtos on RSS 2.0. If you're looking for independent opinion, or a tutorial, this is the place to look. As always, you can suggest-a-link to have an article included in this directory. And if you want to include this directory in your directory, you can, with our blessing. It's also available in OPML. BBC: "Lance Armstrong claims his fifth consecutive Tour de France." NY Times: "The number of organ donations from the living surpassed those from the dead, and has for the past two years." Greenspun: "Is it time to accept Bill Gates as my personal savior?" |
