Friday Links (global biomedical duel edition)

It's a Friday. The weirdest Friday of the year. Between a shortened (and therefore busier than usual) work week because of the holiday, holiday travel, and the odd place our news cycle is, this week's links are less diverse than usual.

I forgot to mention last week that that was the final Friday of the year that I would be working. Between office closure for holidays and my personal tradition of taking Fridays in December as vacation days to give me time to work on holiday stuff, I'll have short weeks until the second week of the new year. Yay

In other good news, we got through out holiday without any big fights or incidents.

Anyway, here are links to stories I found interesting, sorted by category.

It's a Friday. I'm getting over the shock and depression. This means that my mood is shifting to righteous outrage, which is probably going to drive some people crazy. I hope mostly it's just the deserving.

Last week I re-organized the Links post to put all the non-election (and mostly happy) links first so readers could avoid all that news if they just stopped at the warning. This week I'm going back to something close to my usual layout. Still trying to get most of the fun and happy news (such as there is) first.

Friday Links (stand up edition)

It's a Friday. I'm usually happy and excited that the work week is almost over. Happy is not an emotion I'm feeling right now.

However, I also know what a grind it is to confront nothing but more stories about the big thing that happened this week. So I'm changing the format of this post from the usual. We're going to start with a couple of music videos, followed by Science links and so forth that have nothing to do with the election or its fallout. Then I'll have a warning that the rest of the links are on the other topic, so you can stop scrolling down and go read some other part of the web instead if you want.

How Apple could have avoided much of the controversy. "A lot of it boils down to this concept: We demand Apple innovate, but we insist they don’t change anything." ... "If you think about it, perhaps the biggest change from my older, 2013 laptop is that it’s gone from having seven (yes, that many) ports, each with a specific purpose to having four points, each customizable by a cable to dongle to solve the problem you have... My laptop has a power port, an SD card port, 3 Thunderbolt ports and two USB ports. I know that in the four years I’ve owned it, I’ve never used the SD card, I use the Power port, one Thunderbolt port, and occasionally plug a USB cable in. So half the ports in this thing are never used — and yet I paid for them because they were built into the computer."
