...Trust me, it's worth the trouble. Arguinzoniz makes his own charcoal from local hardwoods. He has also invented a custom grill with a pulley system that allows precise control of oxygen intake, levered grill surfaces that can be kept meticulously clean for a light smoke, and a mesh-bottomed pan that grills such refined foods as caviar and the tiniest baby squid. Ordinary grilled flavor comes mainly from soot, but here exceptional-quality ingredients are barely enrobed in a gossamer smokiness. Ask for the daily menu, about six stunningly minimalist dishes. You may get incredible homemade txorizo or lobsters...
...answer: not much-at least not immediately. In theory, the global Internet is highly resistant to catastrophic failure because it's a mesh of interconnected smaller networks, all providing alternative data pathways should any single link fail. Indeed, Asia's abundant data capacity and plentiful circuits-a legacy of rampant overbuilding of undersea cable during the tech boom-ensured that most traffic was quickly rerouted after the quake, restoring crucial services such as phone connections. Some of the overflow was also handled by satellite systems, which are normally too costly and lack the bandwidth of terrestrial networks...
...Standing Committee on General Education will be endowed with a clearly defined lens through which to judge potential courses. Unlike the past 30 years of the Standing Committee on the Core, the new committee will theoretically be able to tell professors that their courses’ content does not mesh with Harvard’s guiding philosophy of general education, and they should teach their classes within a department instead. Professors will not be able to simply add a final exam in order to join general education; they will have to tailor their courses to adhere to a new philosophy...
Other uses for Dust's mesh networks are quickly cropping up. One start-up is putting Dust's wireless sensors in parking spots to measure how long vehicles have been parked and then relay that info to a central database for billing...
...them. So it is with this year's Technology Pioneers. Consumers will flip when they see MicroOptical's video goggles, and they'll dig Ruckus' wireless router. In rural India, where Drishtee is taking computers to the poorest people, the benefit is obvious. But Dust Networks' self-organizing mesh networking system is pretty cool if, say, you work in industry. So too are the paper batteries of Enfucell or the flexible sensors of DeepStream. Sensors are a real big deal on this particular planet. So is medicine, where no breakthrough is small, whether it's Amorfix's blood test...
