Catch a Liar with the This/That Trap
People fumble around with their words a lot when they're lying. In fact, a liar often adds words so they can truthfully answer questions by obscuring the meaning. Psychology Today points to a method to catch a liar where you can react to words called tag qualifiers. These include: "this," "that," "these," "those," and "though." More »
Drones Over Asia: 21st Century Warfare in the New Battlefront
by James Corbett boilingfrogspost.com September 5, 2012 Over the past decade, the peoples of Pakistan and Yemen have become all too familiar with the horrors of the Pentagon’s latest toy: the unmanned aerial vehicle. Capable of raining death from above while its operator sits in air-conditioned comfort in an air force base thousands of miles away, drones represent the next stage in the evolution of 21st century warfare. And now they’re coming to Asia. The process of introducing drones to the Asia-Pacific has been unfolding for years now, but within the last few weeks a flurry of stories have b

Book Review: The Better Angels of Our Nature, by Steven Pinker
I’ve had the feeling that humans are behaving better ever since I started reading medieval history. The ease with which people accepted torture and public and bloody executions. Roving bands of knights raped, killed, and sacked. Later on, the genocide of Native Americans. Child labor in mines and factories. Lynchings. We don’t do that any more.

Robotics: Pushing the Envelope
“My increasingly sophisticated laptops are starting to develop personalities of their own,” says Charles Lineweaver (Australian National University), as interviewed by Peter Spinks in The Age. It’s a whimsical remark in the context of a discussion on robotics in space missions, but I think many of us can relate to it. We all tend to anthropomorphize at the drop of a hat, reading motives and reacti
