You may think you are not a sucker, but as we speak our Benefactor is printing new US$800,000 per each new bitcoin. This is just an observation, a fact, or a TIL. It's not a speculation about the future. Make of it what you will. Goodnight and godspeed.
Just a bonus for you:

That's what I've been saying about wikipedia for 5 centuries. We need authorities to write encyclopedias. We need authorities to write Operating Systems. We need authorities to write all software. We need authorities to produce our money.
Without authorities, one would have too-big-to-fail systems, gold would be "vaporized", and a host of other problems would appear.
We need authorities. We need authorities. We need authorities.
We need authorities.
Obama's behavior is Bush's behavior. More authoritharianism, more keynesianism, more orwellianism.
The wild west of the internet will be gone by the end of his next term.
And the world will be a much worse place for his actions.
He's charming, though, and it's impossible to hate him--more reason to be scepitcal of this ndaa dude.
Good luck to Debt-brother-from-planet-0 then. The economic collapse that's about to strike just might kill the democratic party. It's a shame, as it's the only party that actually believes in science.
which means, in other words, that while they remain "logical", they can't comprehend us.
But computers might one day also be "illogical", in the sense, as Hofstadter put it, as "subcognition as computation": human thought as an emergent property of a highly interacting system. This cowboy in washington is one query in millions. Here's a paper by Robert M French that clearly show some crucial distinctions (for the really interested people in this debate, check out his paper's on the Turing Test also; they're amazing).
Mind blowing achievement that I think gets little attention. If only we could pair the Siri interface with Watson, and have him tie back to Google, Wikipedia, and Wolfram Alpha, the amount of discoveries we could make would happen in weeks if not days.
Oh boy; here we go again. As a cognitive scientist, I'm appalled by/. people buying on the hype.
Slashdot Mirror
you're talking about proximate causes
that might be the case if there weren't 140+ inflationary currencies in the world for all the suckers to hold onto

So what? Prices rising for suckers, prices dropping for me. Deflation is awesome.
1. Where is it in Nobel's will? 2. Ever read "Choice in currency?" 3. Sorry dude, but a *bitcoin bank* has just been licenced in Europe, so I don't have the time nor the interest to keep educating zombies. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/14e048/bitcoincentral_first_exchange_licensed_to_operate/

MEANWHILE, 1usd has dropped to 0.07bitcoin. Isn't life full of tough choices?
2. Hayek, for one, got that *bank* prize, and he advocates for that, so again, you're ridiculously wrong
let him keep on banging that meme he heard from enron advisor krugman
google "priced in gold", look at the graphics; then make a choice: i) keep spewing nonsense; or ii) get some gold.
actually, it's because *everyone* has an incentive to abuse and milk the system?
on /.?
May god have mercy on our souls

You're trying too hard once again, son.

It's not *intended* to be a democracy. It's intended to be a republic. Sad that you can't grasp the difference.

sorry to disappoint, not a chatterbot who's the cowboy in washington? http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2475476&cid=37710660

Why co-occurrence information alone is not sufficient to answer subcognitive questions
anything close to either GW Bush (or perhaps R Reagan)? Yup. That Hofstadter.

Hmm.... huge discoveries... intelligent machines... let's see:
Wolfram: who was the cowboy in washington?
Google: who was the cowboy in washington?
Yup. No improvement after all these years.
Wanna Tip? Please read some Hofstadter.
Wow, did this post ever reveal a lot about you.
It revealed he is a man. Anything else?
Probably the greatest discovery in history... up there with fire, farming, electricity, etc.
you forgot facebook!!!11!
