(Usually caused by centralizing common functionality (subtracting), standardizing readability or performance (transforming), or increasing defensibility against error (adding) Antonym: REFUCKTORING: The process of taking a well-designed piece of code and, through a series of small, reversible changes, making it completely unmaintainable by anyone except yourself. (Usually caused by confusing code parsimony with compiled or bytecode(p-code) parsimony, removing all semantic (human readable) utility.) (via James Santagata)

(FB 1547732420 Timestamp) “IF YOU STILL HAVE PROBLEMS, THEN MAYBE INDEPENDENCE IS NOT FOR YOU.” (insight) by Adam Voight You are watching colonialism being replayed right in front of your eyes. This is exactly the same process as we find with the early Modern Period. China will end up owning “too much” of Africa, and people will use their voting power to bail themselves out, and there will be small wars to prevent it. Colonialism is perfectly fine, since it benefits everyone concerned, primarily the colonized. This is why Australia and New Zealand are both currently colonies and yet also two of the best nations to live in. This is why Canada is better off than the USA, Canada gets all the fringe benefits of being a colony with none of the costs, such as having to pay for own self-defence. Africans will beg us to come liberate them, but that will also be a waste of time. Gosh, I recall when I first started arguing with Curt Doolittle, I also thought that colonialism was like the f-ing Original Sin. In reality, it was almost as bad as what came before. The reason why people pretend otherwise is that they need something or someone to blame their problems on. Like really, people if you have been independent for as long as Japan, Korea, or China, then your problems are your own. That’s what it means to be sovereign. If you still have problems, then maybe independence is not for you.

When there is no buffer between choice/action and consequence reality/nature is the best teacher, experience the best path to wisdom. Only clinically insane and deeply mentally challenged people wantonly put their hand in the fire a third time… Those are the people you need to remove from the commons for their own safety and ours.”—Anne Summers

(FB 1547748265 Timestamp) NATIONALIZING VISA AND MASTERCARD WILL BE A NECESSITY We are going to nationalize visa/mc with a controlling govt interest rather than regulating it. Why? With the end of consumer interest, the businesses will collapse, and the organization survive entirely on transaction fees. This organization is necessary for the distribution of liquidity, the transfer of payments, and the purchasing of goods, services and information. When this occurs, it will no longer be possible for the card companies to intervene in the process of political speech. Consumer Banking as we know it will largely collapse, and the services will be picked up by grocery stores and drug stores. Private companies will also no longer be able to play credit games with consumers nor issue their own credit, because it will be uncollectible (unenforcible) debt if they do. This will cause a shit-storm. There is nothing in consumer credit that is not purely actuarial (computational). Nothing. There is very little need for enforcement when liquidity is distribute to consumers instead of through the financial system, and consumer debt is paid down from that distribution. The regularity that this will add to the commercial cycle as we can adapt to shocks almost instantaneously will be as historic an improvement as was use of shares in the economy as a money substitute.
