This letter is framed on my wall thanks to an OP on HN:

"Where there's muck there's brass."

Exactly. Honestly though, laws are the bandaids trying to patch up a poorly designed society. Nevertheless, the point was that technology can (and will) eliminate the need for bureaucracy.

This kind of world is hard for most to imagine without borrowing from hollywood fantasies of either chaos or some dystopia which are more sensational and indulge in the viewer's sense of fear of the unknown (the future).

mr_twj··on "An Ode to Inception" (written in c)
As a programmer I couldn't help but find the plot to be recursive and remarkably similar to the flow of logic in a program as well. It's quite an ode that even Castaneda himself would have been proud of.
mr_twj··on Ask HN: Lack of self-discipline driving me hopeless. Tips?
Same here but with Olanzapine + Valproic Acid + lithium + Paroxetine - 2 years in age + a suicide attempt.
mr_twj··on Ask HN: Why is the last 10% always so hard?
For me, it's because most of the puzzle has been solved which just leaves grunt work. I hate grunt work. For web projects at least, it's like building bridges--you meet in the middle--and the other guys speak a different language. It's always off by an inch or two.
mr_twj··on Ask HN: favicon o.O
Safari. You're probably right--fun while it lasted though.
mr_twj··on Ask HN: InnoDb vs MyISAM?
Thanks. I do a lot of inserts and updates, so yeah, I'm really feeling the burn right now.

There are plenty of opportunities in small towns with < 100, 000 people. These towns usually have one moderately funded community college at best. This means you have this perfect imbalance of skilled professionals and untapped small town business startups in order to conquer the landscape quite painlessly.

If things go sour in my part of the world I will definitely find some small but rapidly growing desert town to monopolize. Hope this didn't come off too cynical but it's really not that bad of an idea.
