Unlike the vacuum cleaner, the radio, or the bicycle, which retain their use value when everyone has one, the car, like a villa by the sea, is only desirable and useful insofar as the masses don't have one. That is how in both conception and original purpose the car is a luxury good. And the essence of luxury is that it cannot be democratized. If everyone can have luxury, no one gets any advantages from it. On the contrary, everyone diddles, cheats, and frustrates everyone else, and is diddled, cheated, and frustrated in return.(Cont)

http://www.globalideasbank.org/showidea.php?idea=2574 Wealth distribution is a law of nature submitted by: Institute for Social Inventions Summarised from an article by Mark Buchanan, entitled 'That's The Way Money Goes', in New Scientist (August 19th 2000; New Scientist subs #97 or $140, tel 44 [0] 1622 778000). Jean-Philippe Bouchaud and Marc Mezard, two French econophysicists, believe that wealth falling into the hands of a minority is not just a fact of life, but a law of nature. They have discovered a connection between the physics of materials and the movements of money, a link that could revolutionise the way we think about the distribution of wealth in society. It could also provide a mathematical basis to theories of free trade and competition.(cont at URL above) I hope they're close by to study the day my BUM went psycho.(Barter Units of Money.Im 9k an hour btw.)

Explosive smuggling

>> A good plastic (haha) surgeon might be able to implant 10lbs or more, easily enough to bring down a plane. Breast implants would be the obvious place to put it, because they certainly can't open up every woman who wants to get on a plane with "augmentation" so what can you do? << 10 lbs can do a *lot* more than take down a plane, which is very easy when its in flight at high altitude. It takes a few weeks to heal from abdomen surgery that could be done in a field hospital. How to sleep without rolling over on the lump which is the activator is the tough part. Breasts are amusing locations, but Al Q doesn't use chicks (yet) and its not easy to get them to look right.

The mattblog that ate Cypherpunks

A novel metaphor called Scopeware, software that automatically arranges your computer files in chronological order and displays them on your monitor with the most recent files featured prominently in the foreground. Scopeware is far more sweeping than a simple rearrangement of icons, however: in effect, it transfers the role of file clerk from you to the computer, seamlessly ordering documents of all sorts into convenient, time-stamped files. If you have ever forgotten what you named a file or which folder you put it in, you probably will agree that it's time for a change. The desktop metaphor is decades old, arising from early-1970s work at Xerox's fabled Palo Alto Research Center, and was never intended to address today's computing needs. Indeed, the product that brought the metaphor to mass-market attention was Apple Computer's 1984 Macintosh; it had no built-in hard drive, and its floppy disks each stored only 400 kilobytes of information. Today we're using the same metaphor to manage the countless files on our ever more capacious hard drives, as well as to access the virtually limitless information on the Web. The result? Big, messy hierarchies of folders. Favorites lists where you never find anything again. Pull-down menus too long to make sense of. In other words, the desktop metaphor puts the onus on our brains to juggle this expanding collection of files, folders and lists. Yet "our neurons do not fire faster, our memory doesn't increase in capacity and we do not learn to think faster as time progresses," notes Bill Buxton, chief scientist of Alias/Wavefront, a leading maker of graphic-design tools. Buxton argues that without better tools to exploit the immense processing power of today's computers, that power is not much good to us. That's why many researchersat universities and startups like Gelernter's Mirror Worlds as well as giants like Microsoft and IBMare searching for alternatives. They're examining metaphors taken from other media, such as books or diaries or film; 3-D schemes that use our sense of spatial orientation to create the illusion of depth on-screen, so that documents look closer or farther away depending on their importance to us; alternatives that borrow from video games the notion of having an intelligent guide, or avatar, to help us find what we're looking for; or even theories that radically change the notion of what a "computer" is, so that we no longer think of devices as computers at all and are therefore open to new ways of interacting with them. "The desktop metaphor made assumptions about how we use computers that just aren't true anymore," asserts Don Norman, cofounder of the Nielsen Norman Group, famed critic of computer design and author of The Design of Everyday Things. "It's time to throw away the old model." Learning Esperanto Cont at http://www.unifr.ch/econophysics/

Our friends from SIMULACRON 3
by mattd 27 Dec '01

27 Dec '01

What about Simulacron 3? I haven't read this book but am concerned about the fact that it's being given credit for inventing cyberspace. What about Simulacron 3 by Daniel F. Galouye? It was written in 1964 and is all about that virtual world we call "cyberspace." (Simulacron 3 is no longer in print and is difficult to find but it's worth the read). Enders Game is a very harsh and brash book. It shows the journey of one child from being a sheepish little schoolboy that is tormented by his sadistic brother and pampered by his caring sister, to becoming a ruthless soldier that is focused on ridding the universe of the buggers (An insectoid alien race controlled by a hive mind). This book will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. (would also make an excellent movie).Xenocide. The Assassination Bureau (1968) Synopsis: A caper comedy, inspired by the book "The Assassination Bureau Limited," co-written by adventure novelist, Jack London. Oliver Reed plays Ivan Dragomiloff, the head of an organization, started by his late father, which assassinates political figures, on assignment. When Miss Winter, an intrepid, liberal, female reporter offers him the challenge of assigning his own execution, Ivan sees it as a golden opportunity to find out just how competent his international staff really is, and accepts. A mad chase throughout Europe is the result, with Miss Winter following Ivan's every move.(Miss Winter,very strict.) Cities of the red night; The paradox of a post-modern classic... If someone didn't know better, _Cities of the Red Night_ might come across as a simplistic homosexual pornographic pulp space-opera, Mappelthorpe meets Edgar Rice Burroughs. The interwoven plot lines (homosexual pirate communes? a psychic private detective? an invading radioactive mutant virus?) come across as emotionally distant and vacuous, borrowed from pulp novels and used as a simple excuse for episodes of vivid sci-fi imagery and descriptions of boys with erections. While interesting, they don't seem to be the work of genius touted on the front cover. In the end, however, this book is hopeful and passionate, complex and absolutely unique. Burroughs is trying to both conjure up the conditions for a perfect utopia, a world free of all interference and control, as well as give a mythic explanation for the horrifying state of existence. Burroughs is trying to save us, explain us, destroy us, free us. This isn't apparent until after the plots have crashed together and shattered apart in an end which has absolutely nothing to do with what has come before, while also explaining everything...

Report from DUNY on the CHAUM monopoly.
by mattd 27 Dec '01

27 Dec '01

>>So, in 1990, he launched DigiCash b.v., a subsidiary of the US company DigiCash Inc., with his own capital and a contract from the Dutch government to build and test technology to support anonymous toll payments on highways. Chaum developed a prototype by which smart cards holding a certain amount of verified cash value could be slipped into a gadget affixed to the windshield, and high-speed scanning devices would subtract the tolls as the cars whizzed by. The cards could also be used to pay for public transportation and eventually other items. Of course, the payments would be anonymous. After completing that contract (the system has not yet been implemented), << Know then... Transfield-Obayashi operates a system like this in Melbourne,au.Ratlines of diverted traffic instantly sprung up.Motorcycles go through the system of segmented superhighways and tunnels free,as no way could be found to attach the 'gadget'.No cards are used though they are in the train and tram system.Anarchists and old ladies have been blamed by the privatized mass transport companies for a steep decline in revenues since conductors were made redundant.Many ticket machines are inoperable for various.) reasons.Stillsuits are essential and planetary ecologist Keynes tells me that the last 9 out of 10 years were hottest on record.Over harvesting and Harkkkonen activity are adding to a dangerous build up of Co2 that threatens the very existence of the spice.The worms the Harkkkonen are attempting to breed are so far producing only the most distilled poison.Fremen on the planet are waging guerrilla war and are being vigorously suppressed by the rabid beast,Abbott,using scorched earth tactics.The Pareto Emperors call for complete genocide were almost totally successful in the deep south.
