China's 'Cybercrats'. The trouble with Alibaba. Chinese reforms are hard.
The Free World: Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland (and that's it, understandably). America bets on Modi. The European dream is dying. Strange alliances. Žižek is excited. Nigeria and Egypt in the firing-line.
Messy but sporadically insightful reflections on Bitcoin (from the left). It's "highly problematic". ISIS apparently likes it.
Technology and finance are breaking away. Unbundling the banks. Mechanization and the future of work. Singularity and X-Risk buzz (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The business of human cryopreservation.
Flexible brain implants. New steps in robotics.
Anomaly Detection. A call to the edge. Interviews with Pamela Rosenkranz and Peter Boettke. Terminator versus Ghostbusters. Accelerationism under discussion. Property and Freedom 2015. Leaderless. Reason worries about Creeping Neo-Victorianism.
Dark Matter sounds. This is intense.

afraid i'm clueless on the numerology but glad to be of some aid.
