mircea_popescu: james smith's farm fed five hundred people in 1615. these aren'
t "500 out of the total pop of 5mn" for the same reason discussed in the thread about "average life expectancy"
mircea_popescu: here's the thing : just because inflation has made every pauper think he holds money doesn'
t change the fact that a farmer today is worth a hundred million just by simply maintaining equality with a farmer of relatively the same social importance back in 1615.
BingoBoingo was expecting it last month, Waterfall wasn'
t as strong as my gut feared.

t say what he thinks qntra share price is right.
mike_c: trilema's monetization level doesn'
t support the current qntra share price to me.
thestringpuller: well given trilema is well monetized I wouldn'
t worry too much about qntra implementing a revenue stream in the future

t be trying to monetize yet. but that helps fuel investor optimism.
thestringpuller: mike_c: i don'
t think it can make money yet. it's in egg phase. egg must hatch first.
mike_c: plus it hasn'
t tried to make money yet (with one tiny exception), so it's still hopes and dreams phase.

t do (poorly)

assbot: I used to dream of a world where everyone would install GPG. Now I dream of a world where I can uninstall it:
http://t.co/eRZ0hdlmgx mircea_popescu: it's not that he didn'
t trhat makes him one of those big players, it's that it was solely his option to do so, and didn'
t.
mircea_popescu: The money isn'
t corrupting him into thinking childhood bipolar is underdiagnosed-- he truly believes it. The reason he believes it is his entire professional existence-- his whole identity-- is predicated on believing it. He's not a scientist, he's a priest.
mircea_popescu: If Biederman never existed, nothing would be different. You read his resume, you think, wow, he's a big player. You don'
t realize that if he didn'
t exist there would be some other person in his exact position, who would also have become a Distinguished Professor, won awards, written 450 publications, etc. The machine was already in place, his slot was going to get filled; his mind didn'
t discover anything, those res
mircea_popescu: We aren'
t overmedicating kids because Biederman told us to; we're doing it because Harvard told us to. And Harvard told us to because that is what they are getting money to study. Biederman is just the nanobot that does it.
mircea_popescu: The real money, the real problem that goes unmentioned is the money that goes to universities, in the form of research grants. Biederman may have pocketed $1M, but I'm sure he was awarded much, much more for clinical trials-- money which he didn'
t get any of, which went to Harvard.
trinque: haven'
t ever been certain whether that was a metaphor
mike_c: if we could sign into b-a with our facebook accounts we wouldn'
t have to get up'ed when we were in the field.

t start making an independent one.// speed will not be the only issue, think china
mircea_popescu: same thing will be with the fcc internet : just fast enough people don'
t start making an independent one.
mircea_popescu: it's how africa's being "helped" : ban the perfectly fine fillament lightbulbs just as they get to where they could maybe make some, trickle in a little food so most people don'
t want to work.
mircea_popescu: being humiliated by shitholes like romania apparently isn'
t going to be a temporary situation.
mircea_popescu: nah, because a) the usg doesn'
t care to steer you a particular direction. it only wants you to not move - it's a bureaucracy after all, it has no resources to deal with change, nor can change mean anything but it's ass ; b) the illusion of free wheeling is what's important.
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2015 14:39:34; lobbes: "Looking forward, however, I think of GPG as a glorious experiment that has run its course. The journalists who depend on it struggle with it and often mess up (“I send you the private key to communicate privately, right?”)" << lol, this doesn'
t sound like a problem with gpg. I'll never understand this 'hard-to-use' argument. Just take an afternoon and learn the fundamentals!
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2015 08:49:12; gmaxwell: cazalla: not my taste doesn'
