LIFE IN L’VIV
I just had two croissant sandwiches from the bakery, for a total cost of $2.00.
Three or four days ago I was wearing a winter coat.
Today I am going to wear shorts.
The streets are full of people.
It’s beautiful.

The Oversing UI Strategy
Oversing provides multiple methods of displaying the user’s information. Rather than try to convince customers to use the oversing interface one way, our strategy is to provide ALL of the different UI models over the top of the UI, so that no matter what UI paradigm the user comes from – from the most simplistic (asana) to the document (basecamp) to the column (trello) to the ‘board’ (Jira), that the customer can use the interface that’s familiar to him.
In this way we make a migration path from the very simple task based UI’s all the way up to the most informationally dense UI possible.
Why? Well, if you design your product for a UI, that might seem wise. But the fact is that all human work can be expressed as collection, list, hierarchy, or graph, and oversing uses a graph to represent collections(boards), lists, hierarchies, and graphs. So it is much easier for us to add features that represent more simple UI models, than it is for products designed for simple models to architecturally revise to represent the more complex.
Our goal is to provide a single product with various interface densities so that we serve the entire enterprise no matter how complex (or simple) is their workflow.
Now, in v1 we plan only on having Tree(hierarchy), Gantt(timeline), Board and Table (sortable list). But we have four other UI’s that we plan to add in the future.
Simple list (asana default view for example), This view already exists on the subtasks tab of every page. But we want a workspace view that works the same way.
Column (single column board)
Timeline (non-dependency driven timeline)
PaperSheet (a single page view of all project elements that is more Paper-like in appearance than our default facebook style pages) This provides awesome simplicity for the user

Sorry. Interest in sex usually declines with intelligence. Interest in raising a family does as well. The middle class does all the good.

LEARNING TESTIMONIALISM AND PROPERTARIANISM?
Old Ideas need a reference. A word.
New Ideas an extension by analogy. A few sentences.
Novel ideas a chain of reasoning. A few paragraphs or pages.
Revolutionary ideas, a framework. A few chapters or a book.
It’s non trivial.

It doesn’t matter if you make smart people better
It only matters if dumb people don’t breed.
It costs a LOT of money to use genetic improvement technology.
It costs noting for ‘evils’ to have sex (other than alcohol).

**Man is not good or bad, he is rational in his choice of cooperation, parasitism, or predation. We must provide him the incentive to choose cooperation. We must not pretend he does not need the incentive.**

Yes
The nazis tried to remove the undesirables from Europe.
They transported these people to resettlement camps.
The war failed. They ran out of resources.
The resettlement camps turned into death camps.
The Jews made a propaganda issue out of it, but so did the rest of the west – the west that germans had engaged in napoleonic conquest against.
There is nothing more to know.
I don’t get involved in jerk-off disputes. I think this is a jerk off dispute.
Is that settled?
Good.
Don’t involve me in this nonsense.
It’s beneath me.
Love always.
Thanks.

THE MOST RELIGIOUS PEOPLE IN THE WEST?
The Germans are the most devout, most pious, most religious people in western civilization. They just don’t call it religion. They call it ‘being right’. They made christian morality a post-christian religion.
Fascinating.
American conservatives treat the constitution with the same sacredness as religious scripture.
It is this germanic american religiosity, and continental german religiosity that preserves the west. The differences are simple: the white americans preserve landed aristocracy and the white germans preserve the church.
Both must do their functions for either to survive.

THE COST OF THE SEEN VS THE UNSEEN
(what is the cost of lying)
What is the cost of requiring due diligence of truthfulness in speech in the commons? That is a silly question. What is the cost of not requiring due diligence of truthfulness in speech in the commons?
What is the cost of libel, slander, rallying, shaming, loading, overloading, suggestion?
What is the cost of islam, judaism, christianity, marxism, feminism, postmodernism?
What is the cost of lies?
The cost is the difference between the world where people speak the truth and the world where people lie and vector lies.
