Joel Skousen has an interesting analysis. North Korea attacks South Korea, the US defends South with tactical nukes. Then there is a nuclear strike on the US from Russia and China in retaliation, which might explain why the US gov is building super bunkers in the Ozarks .

This post is the third installment of a special Hn series on optimizing your material possessions.

Optimize for Quality: http://dcurt.is/the-best

Optimize for Experience: http://www.thoughtcrime.org/blog/the-worst/

Optimize for Utility: http://teddy.fr/2013/02/10/about-not-owning-shit/

Well if you agree cut it out. Its not clever its just annoying.

Will we ever see a day where the word evil isn't in nearly every Google news headline? After 10+ years this is getting a little old.

I was going to post the exact same thing. Also I enjoyed related books "ReThinking a Lot", and "Streets are for People"

If you are interested in symbolism the EU Parliament "Tower of Babel" connection is a worth looking into.

And fund the CIA dark side ops. (Iran Contra)

People who call their ideological adversaries "Deniers" have no credibility. Feel free to persuade the community with science and not propaganda.

"if we do a really great job on new vaccines... we could lower [world population] by 10 or 15 percent" - Bill Gates

Actually the conspiracy theory is that vaccines are designed to lower the birth rate, and Autism is just an unintended side effect of the various heavy metals and toxins.

No one seems to notice the obvious... that his life and his friends lives were certainly more exciting when he was a Junior at Harvard.

This reminds me of a study that found that many East Germans were nostalgic about East Germany before the wall came down, but the researchers concluded that it was because it was because the interviewed people had been in there 20s at that time, not because of any particular aspect of the East German society.

>>We’d really like it to be in some way connected to our mission — to craft the very best version of everything we make. To build with a minimalist aesthetic, and deliver quality at a fair price, directly to our customer.

Holden doesn't convey this.

you are correct it is ridiculous http://www.youtube.com/mhfm1?v=OynCgwmD-HM

My Big 2: 1) Why page turn?, why not page down? English reads top to bottom. Seems like a big improvement would be a page down instead of a page across.

2) If I zoom into text I don't want to have to horizontally scroll, that's even more annoying that small text.

Socialism for the rich! Capitalism for everyone else.

That's like the story about a guy who uptraded a paperclip for a house. Nice.

Positing that your ideological opponents are a subspecies of humanity. Classy.

My unsolicited advice is focus on coding. I wasted my youth trying to configure Linux drivers and wasting time on all sorts of configuration type nonsense. Linux is better now, but I'm there's plenty of similar things to waste time on and not actually code.

You actually have to disable your account and then not log in (logging in re-enables), and then send that email. That's what I had to do when I deleted my account. Not sure if their process has changed since a few months ago when I did it.

The why is so much more interesting. Part of it is a product of topology, visualize this pattern: home, car, work, car, home. There's not a lot of surface area in there to meet someone. This is a product of America's lack of streets, we have roads not streets. Roads are for cars, streets are for people. Some good reading on this subject is, "The Great Good Place: Cafes, Coffee Shops, Bookstores, Bars, Hair Salons, and Other Hangouts at the Heart of a Community", and of course "Streets for People, A Primer for Americans".

Aren't there a million things to talk about with Sergey? Here's a pro-tip: successful people enjoy talking about how they became successful.

That was an idea they (probably) stole from Jack Welsh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitality_curve

If you were so proud of your idea, you would have used your real account.

Think about the optimization.

>>According to Information Week Magazine¹: “A one (1) millisecond advantage in trading applications can be worth $100 million a year to a major brokerage firm”. Currently electronic trading makes between 60% and 70% of daily volume of NYSE¹. Tabb Group, a research firm, estimated that High-frequency traders generated about $21 billion in 2008.²

>>- Eliminated all gold, and replaced it with unredeemable “greenbacks”

They confiscated the gold. The war on terror is a new phenomenon and it should meet the criteria for a significant undertaking.

Why I'm not leaving FaceBook... Because I don't want to make a new account for every website that comes along.

So many negative comments, I thought the video was amazing.
