From Lake Tahoe a thought: If shrinking the size of government proves a problem, perhaps one can continue to grow the private sector so that the state is comparatively small? One must take care that the state does not grow in ways that make private growth impossible. Beware unfunded entitlements…

And links to my synopses of Carver Mead’s talk, information on optical computing, discussion of talks by Steve Forbes and John Rutledge, and a discussion of distributed computing. Oh, and Peter Huber.

    HP and Adobe? Seriously? I can at least see an argument for a threat from Microsoft or AT&T, but what’s HP going to do? Use its printer monopoly to take over the market for paper?
