When you have one clock, you always know what time it is. When you have two clocks, you can never be sure. This concludes our intro to distributed systems.

We need more engineers. More people who are literate in math.

If you were advertising a car, was it better to show a picture of a car, or of a pretty woman? If one was selling shirt collars, was it better to do so under the headline “Murder!” or the headline “Quality Shirt Collars”? To make a long story short (and to skip over the proto-pataphysical techniques by which Nixon established what we might call a “science of irrelevancy”), Nixon found that “irrelevant illustrations do attract more attention and hold interest longer than do relevant ones.” 8 Which is to say: systematically doing violence to sense raised revenue. This could be proven in his laboratory. Would it be wrong to say that we live, in many respects, in the world evolved from that finding?

Engage constructively with others. Do not try to argue. Try to understand and help. Gently explain.

When is Matt Levine going to become a Bitcoin maxi. He is getting close. "Bitcoin expresses the thesis that it would be good to have a valuable database entry without that, just something was valuable because people on the internet voluntarily agreed it was valuable, with no government or army or taxes or anything else. And it worked! That did happen. It has value due to a broad voluntary market consensus based almost entirely on itself. In some sense that consensus is fragile — if a thing is valuable only because people think that it is valuable, it could stop being valuable when they stop thinking that — but in another sense that is true of any social fact: The dollar is valuable, the King of England is the King of England, the US is a liberal democracy, etc., exactly as long as those facts command social consensus. Bitcoin got to what seems like a pretty robust consensus in 15 years. That’s just neat."
