Sunday assorted links


1. Chinese overtake Dominicans as NYC’s most numerous foreign-born group.

2. David Hockney embraced tech (NYT).  And do not forget his writings, not to mention his persona and also his role in gay history and liberation.  He was truly one of the great Englishmen, as he had been doing first-rate work since what, 1954?

3. Progress against lung cancer.

4. Average German date? And a six-minute video of a non-average German circus artist.  And an eleven-year-old German on the handpan, without training.

5. Measuring how New Yorkers responded to their game 4 playoff victory.  I have not seen data on game 5, though that was less of a surprise.

6. How The Bulwark is doing, and its economics (WSJ).

7. Become a telescope rancher those new service sector jobs (short video).

8. Bob Dylan (and others) on turning 80 (NYT).  Dylan’s answer is clearly the best.

9. Paul Graham on how to become a billionaire.
