mircea_popescu: "At that point I took all the phones away and we had a little reminder chat about when it was appropriate to use your phone and when it was not.

mircea_popescu: "Today was the first day in a long time I actually took phones away. I have no idea what all was included in the update, but you would have thought it was crack. They seriously could not keep away from it. I even had one girl crawl under the table with her phone."

mircea_popescu: holy shit. the ipo of an anon entity ? logic just got knotted into a pretzel and ate itself.

mircea_popescu: and the way he goers about it makes one fucking petrified of these folks' general competence and ability as displayed at the daily business of their chosen field.

mircea_popescu: it's almost as if we inhabit a theoretical topological construct rather than irl.
