No reason. Just a curious reader.

Not an answer

Most of the information is voluntarily given and money is worthless in the hands of a very few. In the foreseable future someone will draw users with some kind of financial compensation and things will swing back the other way.

I really dislike it when 'visionaries' declare doom at a period's inception.

Interesting. Is he no longer part of boing boing?

"Trusting your doctor when you are sick is not an instance of fallacious reasoning."

Nor is it an argument. It's an action based on a personal risk assessment.

If you said "The cancer studies are trash because my doctor says they are." Then you would be making a fallacious argument. Authority is only rational as a screening tool in the evaluation of large amounts of after information. It most definitely is not a proof.

Ya. Am I cute and edgy if I write an article titled "Why I'd Rather Work for a White than a Black?"

>There has to be some value, else why would they pay you more.

No, and increase in demand raises the price.

1. Too expensive for the seller. Lots of games are played with the rating system - discerning who is honest and who isn't gets to be about reading between the lines in the comments rather than using the star system. The 'local only'function works poorly.

2. I like the auction house paradigm, but would like one that was more third party friendly so people could personalize the experience.

3. No. I don't want to be separated from that transaction.

4. Nothing that I haven't covered above, but I'm happy to answer any other market research questions.

Except when 1 + 1 = 10

Who's "truth?"

Roll back the bankruptcy laws to pre-2005 to reduce the cost of risk.

It was like finding a paint by number in an art museum.

Exactly. Not so much like Avatar as, say, Willard.

>Gamification has to embrace the power of stories

Arguably making lists for the pleasure of crossing items off is a form of gamefication that pre-dates the dialogue. Like tic-tac-toe it is both popular and lacks narrative.

Meaning that it can't be done to it has no value.

I can think of lots of ways to capture it's essence quantitatively. Life expectancy, social mobility, marriages. savings rate....

But some 13% of Alzheimer's diagnosis are actually a prion attack.

Why should anyone welcome a system - be it austerity or extend and pretend where they or their children pay to line the pockets of the 1%?

I understand that the BBC is the voice of the state, but OP, how could you consider anything other than the Iceland solution to be the correct course?

I guess it was raided but not arrested. Apparently Apple was not pleased and had their private police - the US Secret Service break in to his appartment

The trick of course would be to have a roving robot army that pillaged like Attila.

This guy was arrested today.

I think what you've done by adding slaves to the mix is reduce the value of human labor relative to other assets, making the holders of resources like land, water, oil, etc stronger.

For instance you still need food and how much food can be grown is limited by the land it can be grown on. However if you want to get a job picking oranges you can now only earn what it would cost to operate a robot to do the same task. So your income drops and farmer is more powerful.

Consider that in the US it was not the norm for women to work outside the home until the '80's and the wealth of families has not increased as a result of most households now having two working adults. As a matter of fact it's gone down.
