Industrial robots will replace manufacturing jobs — and that's a good thing
There is no denying that the U.S. and Canada have been losing jobs to offshore competition for almost half a century. From 2000-2010 alone, 5.6 million jobs disappeared. Interestingly, though, only 13 percent of those jobs were lost due to international trade; 85 percent of job losses stemmed from "productivity growth" — another way of saying machines replacing human workers.

About tonight
(Paul Mirengoff) Before Friday, I thought Donald Trump's mission in the upcoming debate should be to persuade Americans he's not a bad guy. After Friday, his mission may be to persuade people he's not a monster. You prove these things by conducting yourself accordingly. You can't prove them by attacking your opponent's character. And if you attack the character of your opponents' spouse, you tend to confirm that you're a bad guy.

Before the Presses Stopped
"What will become of newspapers?" wondered John Carroll, onetime editor of the Baltimore Sun, in 2006.
Carroll witnessed the decline of the Sun in the 2000s, when the paper went from being a family-owned enterprise that gave its reporters immense freedom to a more restrictive corporate publication. Under the tutelage of its profit-minded masters, the Sun learned an Orwellian tongue: "stories" became "content," "editors" became "heads of content," and the chief editor, "director of content."

A decentralized web would give power back to the people online
