The one about Subscription-supported journals [that] are like the qwerty keyboard

As you probably know, the arrangement of letters on the ‘qwerty’ keyboard that all our computers come with is far from optimal for efficient typing. The original mechanical typewriters had the keys arranged alphabetically. But this caused levers to jam up if their letters were typed in rapid succession, so a key arrangement was devised that interspersed the commonly used letters with uncommon letters, and split up commonly-used sequences of letters. This was a good solution: although it slowed down the speed at which a skilled typist could hit the keys, it eliminated the time they would otherwise have to spend unjamming the levers. You can read all about this on Wikipedia.

don’t worry, he relates to to subscription supported journals very nicely…

..the one about the world population, and how it is determined by food supply? Or not?

Back in May, Growth is Madness! hosted a guest post by Dr. Russell Hopfenberg, a consulting faculty member at Duke University, “to discuss his work on the links between food supply, carrying capacity, and population growth. In two peer reviewed journal articles, one coauthored by David Pimentel, Russ has analyzed and investigated the relationship between between human population and food supply. His conclusion is that global food supply is the variable which best accounts for human carrying capacity, and that human population will continue to grow as long as food supply increases.”
