  3. Re:Fascinating by LaskoVortex · · Score: 1 · on Mining the Cognitive Surplus

    Don't forget the problem of "50% of the people are below average" I don't mean that as any kind of insult, just an observation of reality.

    Yes, but the number of people who can make a contribution of any value depends on the tightness of that distribution. If it is possible to generate a measurement of "potential to contribute", I suspect the distribution of it would be fairly tight, especially if you measure intelligence using the greatest possible parameter space. For instance, what might be the metric to determine how greatly someone can contribute to the site colourlovers.com? How does one weight this metric with others, such as mathematical, musical, or literary aptitude? When one takes the entire parameter space into account, what distribution does one get for the population as a whole? I think it boils down to opportunity. As more opportunities to contribute avail themselves on the internet, we will see more benefits from the cognitive surplus.

    Certainly the thing about T-Mobile claiming power over magenta has been going on for a while.

    If you want me to design a website, I can make it do anything HTML supports, but prepare for a color scheme that makes most people's eyes bleed...

    MEMO FROM THE MANAGEMENT: You're out of excuses, now design that website!

    Oh, and if you decide to try, remember that you most likely are colorblind. All geeks are.
    Steal what you can't do yourself.

    As I can't color-coordinate my own socks, ready palettes are a godsend :)
