Folks at Harvard Business School should study Perl's marketing. It's astonishing."

moriarty: decimation, but if you are dissatisfied with such simple conclusion, read that Mandelbrot book :)
mircea_popescu: they're not proclivities, i wrote the damned book :D
xmj: also his book Fractals and Scaling in Finance
moriarty: mircea_popescu, well, i'd try not to dilute his book into a one-liner, but essentially a blend of technological warfare i.e. guns, a serendipitous adaptability to germs via advances in medicine, and progress in transport hulls made out of steel, which arose incidentally from ideal farming conditions e.g. arable land which gave rise to a choice of livestock, was why the seemingly unequal
moriarty: in his famous book, Guns, Germs and Steel

mike_c: nonprofit goal is to not book a profit, but they certainly want as much revenue as they can get.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is what i thought too, 2011ish. but here's the thing : these people now do book deals,

ThickAsThieves: where the fuck does the order book come from?
mircea_popescu: decimation btw, here's a curio : while darwin published in 1956, there's a little book of anon fiction published in 1844, "Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation"
mircea_popescu: actually maybe you should write the book, except in russian. larger market.
mircea_popescu: i could prolly write a book of psychoantropology on the topic, but sadly it'd be rather incomprehensible in english without a ton of notes which kinda ruin the whole thing, and for 5 romanians able to read and write it's scarcely worth the year o' work.
asciilifeform: anyone here not familiar with vonnegut's 'mother night' -or- semyonov's 'seventeen moments of spring' ? book or film, either.

jdanks: No but really I engineer, I'm an open book. Sell eggs for BTC. Garden and what not
mircea_popescu: link to a decent book on the topic in there.
asciilifeform: the people in question have a marked habit of playing 'by the book'
mircea_popescu: "The Usability of Better Men, And Other Such Nonsense". should be a book.

kakobrekla: http://php.net/manual/en/book.gnupg.php
kakobrekla: these book readers you keep talking about, which is the one to get atm

pankkake: it's on a book?
RagnarDanneskjol: yea, I kno. you dig into that book yet?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is why stuff like 1984 are so good. the fuckwit hero actually believes that o'brien is the guy to go to for the secret book.
mircea_popescu: the whole thing works, intentionally or no, as a fine work of mr o'brien. only a fucking imbecile would imagine that THAT is the book of the insurgency.
asciilifeform: the book is a beautiful illustration of this.
asciilifeform: the book is quite like the 'rule of law is a myth' piece (http://faculty.msb.edu/hasnasj/GTWebSite/MythWeb.htm - linked here a few times) except that katz hasn't let go of his religion yet ☟︎
asciilifeform: the only actual good thing about the alpha was that the spec fit in a thin paperback book.
