This is one of those long-form articles that you just have to read. Riveting.
Also, note that the computer code in the margins is just for decoration, it’s never referenced in the article, so don’t let that put you off. Kind of bad design there, if you ask me.
The Bourne Legacy - Movie Trailers →
Interesting. Jeremy Renner looks great in this role. Directed by Tony Gilroy, the writer of all four Bourne screenplays, as well as the director of Michael Clayton.

And the US response to Iran’s 1300 new nuclear scientists.
Iran: The Scientists & the Bomb by Jeremy... →
Interesting. Particularly the part about how 1300 Iranian students changed their major to nuclear engineering the day after this Iranian scientist was assassinated.
When we got attacked on 9/11, a huge surge in military enlistment was an expected and admired response. But don’t these Iranians know they’re the bad guys?
