Have you seen one of these before? 20 little bottles containing slightly different masses of mercury so that the oscillation frequency is slightly different. This is like the "Pendulum wave" but instead makes a vertical wave with the masses on springs. The accuracy of the oscillation time period is better than about 0.5 milliseconds. The use of mercury allows the masses to be controlled very precisely and its high density means the bottles can be kept quite small. This is a kind of visual representation of the sounds of a pipe organ, the smallest pipe being on the right. -via Marcel Clemens on Facebook

Nietzsche’s Marginal Children: On Friedrich Hayek

How did the conservative ideas of Friedrich Hayek and the Austrian school become our economic reality? By turning the market into the realm

In their war against socialism, the philosophers of capital faced two challenges. The first was that by the early twentieth century, socialism had cornered the market on morality. As Mises complained in his 1932 preface to the second edition of Socialism, “Any advocate of socialistic measures is looked upon as the friend of the Good, the Noble, and the Moral, as a disinterested pioneer of necessary reforms, in short, as a man who unselfishly serves his own people and all humanity.” Indeed, with the help of kindred notions such as “social justice,” socialism seemed to be the very definition of morality. Nietzsche had long been wise to this insinuation; one source of his discontent with religion was his sense that it had bequeathed to modernity an understanding of what morality entailed (selflessness, universality, equality) such that only socialism and democracy could be said to fulfill it. But where Nietzsche’s response to the equation of socialism and morality was to question the value of morality, at least as it had been customarily understood, economists like Mises and Hayek pursued a different path, one Nietzsche would never have dared to take: they made the market the very expression of morality.

Trump administration subpoenas New York Times journalists over new Air Force One reporting

Outlet said journalists subpoenaed to testify before grand jury after story detailed security concerns with Qatar-gifted plane

Amid speculation that the president’s Qatari-gifted jet lacked certain security systems, the Times – citing anonymous sources – then reported that the new Air Force One lacked antimissile capabilities as well as other protective features that older models are equipped with. The Times further reported that Trump flew some of the return trip from Turkey on an older Air Force One at the request of the Secret Service.
