The positive aspect of this advance is that I've basically stopped using social media because of the creeping sense that everything is slop

Its surprising to me that someone would even consider bringing this up as a valid counter argument. Interesting to see how deeply Neoliberalism has seeped into western culture.

The man that was drowned. A sail veering about the blank bay waiting for a swollen bundle to bob up, roll over to the sun a puffy face, salt white. Here I am.

Nice website, if a little unresponsive. If it gets just one more person to crack Ulysses and discover the immense beauty of this extraordinary work than it has to have been worth it.

How in god's name did you reach that conclusion?

"Actually I continue to fight with myself not to expose two individuals in particular who have been completely toxic to the very infant ecosystem which needs the exact opposite."

"I’ve been in San Francisco for 23 days now. In these 23 days I’ve been here, I’ve met with some of the brightest names in technology angel investing, signed customers, partnered my company with a team of MBAs for an entrepreneurial project, and have had more productive business development meetings than in 10 months in London."

This reads like parody but it seems to be serious. Please be careful mbesto

sounds like a meaningless platitude to me. From my experience most companies have huge difficulties finding good irish candidates because they are both just low in numbers and inclined to immigrate to London.

Ah China, Like religion, a topic about which people who have no idea about are comfortable making grand, utterly wrong statements.

China's GDP is about 50% bigger than japans, its exports are about 2.5 times japans. The idea that china is too big to fail is ludicrous. It might be possible to argue though, that its too big to succeed

Then we raved until 9 in the morning to some deep techno. There were no official photographers.

I honestly thought NY would have a majorly active underground party scene.

Anyway, to my point. I see no reason why new technology and interconnectedness is going to lead to the decline of the western city. My Experience suggests its more likely to lead to a greater desire among young adults to move to the urban cores (as they always habe), for Sex/Marriage, Culture and Nightlife as they see there own friends partake, so to speak. At the end of the day, extremely few people would find the internet an acceptable replacement to living amongst ones peers

Successful Free-to-Play games like League of legends are suspected to convert greater than 10 percent of players to paying customers. Of the millions of players who pirated Bioshock infinite, I seriously doubt that only 1 percent could have afforded to pay for it and had a desire to play it.

Your number is ridiculous, and no-one assumes every pirated game is a lost sale either. Do you have any evidence to support this number?
