mircea_popescu: Since the stern art of poetry calls for words, I, morose, deaf, and balding ambassador of
a more or less insignificant nation that's stuck in this super power, wishing to spare my old brain, put on clothes – all by myself – and head for the main street: for the evening paper.

mircea_popescu: not like including people on the outskirts is
a mission failure
mircea_popescu: mjr___ wouldn't it be better to solve
a softer problem ? ie, take
a guess of the park size and do x radius from center ?
mircea_popescu: as
a simple heuristic, the line between welfare and employment can be drawn right there : does it come with free smartphone ?
mjr___: i want to find
a parks boundaries...
mircea_popescu: certainly the smartphone is
a marvel of cheap token replacement of circus.
mircea_popescu: except all this does is replace the proper elite with
a failed elite.
mircea_popescu: and conceivably if you were in
a position to know what rich people benefited most from, you'd be rich yourself already

a get rich scheme and they can ride the bandwagon.

a huge amount of what could otherwise be productive energy
b0n1: yaeh mircea_popescu its
a bit sad because it shows how strong manipulative the market is
mircea_popescu: and for that matter the fact that some guy walks on two legs doth not
a human make, either.
benkay: and what I meant by 'writing
a play is easy' is literally that putting words on paper is
a trivial thing for
a monkey who's been taught english to accomplish.
benkay: but they produce cultural things they themselves enjoy, and the fame that accrues to the individuals involved is
a draw for the other "playwrights"

a pasible play.

a culture
mircea_popescu: billions of businesses have been built,
a good play has not been written
benkay: but because plays are easy to write relative to building
a business, and the fame rewards are so outsize, that would explain the misallocation
benkay: I don't really know where I'm going with this, other than there's gotta be
a coupling factor between how much energy to put into plays and books and how much to put into building useful shit.
benkay: but also keep it expensive enough that it's actually
a treat

a non-starter.
Framedragger: oh - in regards to cookies - yeah it's not that simple i suppose, still need
a third party
Framedragger: there were some tales circulating around HN about that, actually - wherein certain services offer websites to participate in mass user data agglomeration - so that when
a user fills up
a form on one website, (1) that form data can be autofilled on other, seemingly unrelated websites (via cookies); and (2) when the same user enters the same / uniquely identifiable data in another website even using another computer etc., that other website
