Fifteen years ago, scientists discovered that heavy fishing can create “fishing-induced evolution” — the more big fish we pluck out of the sea, the smaller the adult size of each successive generation. But according to a new study led by SUNY Stonybrook fishery biologist David Conover, the process is reversible.

Wow, a backup service that actually works with Vox! While this service performs daily backups of one or more blogs, it currently can only backup public posts and public images. It currently can not backup other media files and blog posts/media posted under privacy filters (such as neighborhood, family, and friends). Still, it's a good option in the interim of the Vox Team incorporating backup exporting for their blogs.

And so, it's official now. Vox seems reluctant to provide the threaded comments support, but where's a will, there's a way, and I found the way (but only for users of Firefox and other such browsers, that support GreaseMonkey).

A mind is a terrible thing. Whether because of the brain’s internal structure or the way social and cultural pressures cause our minds to develop and function, in the end the result is the same: minds that are not only easily deceived and frequently deceptive in their own right, but when caught out, refuse to accept and address their errors. If you have a mind — or even half a mind — you might be best off losing it entirely. Barring that, though, there are a few things you should know about the enemy in your head. Before it hurts someone.
