Saturday assorted links
1. Who benefits from Uber surge pricing?
2. The Way of Code, a new on-line product, some might call it a book, adapted by Rick Rubin and based on Lao Tzu.
3. What is wrong with Sanskrit?
4. Price quiz for auctioned artworks (NYT). I do not find this to be the reductio the NYT seems to think it is. By the way, the Dumas I do not like and it is not such a great Baselitz. The Joan Mitchell is clearly better than the Hans Hoffman, pity to those who cannot see that.
5. It seems there are no actual signs of life on that distant planet (NYT).
