SEAL Team Six v. The Pirates
Background information provided by the White House provides an intriguing clue as to the identity of the Navy SEAL team that rescued Capt. Richard Phillips from Somali pirates. After the mission, Obama telephoned several military officials, including "Vice Admiral William McRaven, Commander Joint Special Operations Command." Interesting choice; it means that at least some of the Navy Seals who participated in the rescue were part a classified special missions unit -- the Naval Special Warfare Development Group -- DevGru, popularly known as "SEAL Team Six." The commander of JSOC technically provides support for other special forces (SF) units. But really -- the JSOC commander overseas Delta Force, SEALTeam Six and other secret teams.

"information follows a pattern of burst and decay. This is why your permalinks will never be permanent. This is why I have no qualms with wiping six years of my blog. This is why I don’t care if my URL shortener disappears. I consider my activities online to be ephemeral, contributing to the machine for only as long as is necessary. I hope my children and their children’s children will be able to explore and experience this, but what’s most important is that they can experience all of this, and anything else is just ego."

There are plenty of job sites out there for freelancers who want to sell their time and skills in the global marketplace. Many of these - such as Elance or RentACoder - operate primarily as simple marketplaces, putting together buyers and sellers, transferring jobs and money, and providing simple dispute resolution services. The result has been what economic theory would predict in a market with more sellers than buyers: a relentless drive to low rates.
