A Quadrennial Republican Smear
(John Hinderaker) I have noticed this for a long time: every four years, when a Republican national convention is in prospect, national news outlets will do stories on strip clubs and prostitutes who are eagerly awaiting the Republicans' patronage. Of course, the much-hoped-for scandal never happens, and when the convention is over there have been a few stories about disgruntled prostitutes and strippers complaining that Republicans are no good for business.

Simversity's Neeraj Bansal talks about the future of education
This week on Technotopia I talked to Neeraj Bansal the co-founder of education startup Simversity.

Bursting the chatbot bubble
Chatbots seem to be climbing the proverbial peak of the tech hype curve with every passing day. Popular messaging apps have been attempting to outdo each other in terms of making their platforms open for bot development. The frenetic action notwithstanding, the moot point is whether bots actually solve any real end-user need. The answer is not as clear as the chat platforms would have us believe. Read More

The state of the race
(Paul Mirengoff) I'm aware of four polls of the presidential race conducted since the McClatchy/Marist survey that I wrote about here. Two of them have Donald Trump ahead: Rasmussen by 7 points and USC/LA Times by 3. One poll, CBS News/New York Times, has the race dead even. The other, Economist/YouGov, has Clinton ahead by 2 points. If one throws in the McClatchy survey (Clinton +3) and the two conflicting battleground state

Why We Must Elect Donald Trump
(John Hinderaker) Some people think that Hillary Clinton, for all her corruption, is at least smarter than Barack Obama. Others observe her ruthlessness toward political opponents and infer that, unlike Obama, she will be a tough defender of American interests. No: for goodness' sake, the woman has a four-year history as Secretary of State! If there is one thing we know for certain about Hillary, it is that as president she would
