mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves he gets a clue an entity exists that is powerful enough and informed enough
ThickAsThieves: well if TLP watches the vid, does he get any clue of why he might wanna visit #b-a, or what it is?
mircea_popescu: whether these derps get something out of it or not is really secondary, and entirely up to them

bitcoinpete: "If at first you don't succeed try, try and try again."
bitcoinpete: fair enough, taleb is more public
mircea_popescu: im not including tlp in the next set for lack of a means to get in touch.
bitcoinpete: the video is your one and only olive branch then?
mircea_popescu: life selects. he was smart enough, but he couldn't hear. there's no difference between the deaf and the dumb.
bitcoinpete: and his publisher will surely have him do a public appearance or two
bitcoinpete: sorta like suggestion 3 for taleb
mircea_popescu: or in otherwords : being dumb and deaf keeps one from interacting with the coolness in this world. and the world can't cure it for him.
mircea_popescu: and b) i bet you nobody's bothered to send him an email to point it out, he prolly doesn't read his twitter (or his email for that matter)
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete sadly the odds of tlp actually seeing that video are nil, because a) he hasn't approved the comment on his blog still. a bunch of fucktards made > 50 comments since then with their fucktardery. if i were him i wouldn't ever read the comments on that blog, i'd rather read coindesk.

assbot: Kolkata firm to help NHPC set up floating 50-mw solar power plant in Kerala - Economic Times
bitcoinpete: "The ecology of the water body is not likely to be affected much and it will also reduce evaporation, thus helping preserve water levels during extreme summer. Solar panels installed on land, face reduction of yield as the ground heats up. When such panels are installed on a floating platform, the heating problem is solved to a great extent."
