The Hierarchy of IoT "Thing" Needs
I received a lot of feedback on an article I wrote a few months ago about changing the way we perceive the "Things" in the Internet of Things (IoT). The gist of my argument was that we should start treating these "Things" more like people — in the sense of thinking about them the way you would think about an employee hired to fulfill a specific function. Our… Read More

Does God Hate Green Energy?
(John Hinderaker) The Gore Effect is well known: wherever greenies gather for a global warming conference, cold weather–frequently, in the form of a blizzard–pursues them. It is hard to escape the sense that the Almighty is trying to send a message. Now we have this: no sooner had the U.S. erected thousands of windmills than the wind stopped blowing: Electricity generated by US wind farms fell 6 per cent in the first

College Corruption
(Steven Hayward) Allan Guelzo of Gettysburg College, author of several fine books about Lincoln and the Civil War, posted these news items on his Facebook page earlier today.

It's game-over on the Iran deal until at least 2017
(Paul Mirengoff) This week, as expected, support in the Senate for President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran reached the level required to sustain a veto if the Senate votes the agreement down under the procedure established by the Corker-Cardin legislation. There's also a good chance that Obama's Senate support will be sufficient, in the end, for Democrats successfully to filibuster Senate consideration of the deal. Andy McCarthy argues, however, that it is

(Scott Johnson) As Steve notes in the adjacent post, Madam Hillary sat down for an interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell (video below).

Hillary Clinton did an on-camera interview with Andrea Mitchell of NBC News yesterday, attempted to affect the soft-focus atmosphere of her famous 1994 press conversation about the Whitewater scandal.
