YouTube - RSA Animate - Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us I get this. I think the underlying principles at work is a kind of volunteers dilemma. When there is a clear incentive for One person, the first thought of everyone else is that: I don't want to compete. In The wisdom of crowds, dynamism and well thought out creativity can only come from a group of people willing to take each others ideas and improve on them. A Single Incentive basically dis-incentives everyone else. Who wants to be "used" to get the bonus. The "met-needs" really works is because the incentive is in building a better work environment with their own hands. Incentive is in making their Job easier (Kaizen). For me, learning this, I can see a lot of problems someone who doesn't understand the Cognitive Bias concepts that will occur trying to do this. One particular problem as people who don't see this as an opportunity and a chance to slack off, second is that people

"Quit Facebook Day" Only Affects 2% of U.S. Users | News & Opinion | PCMag.com I plan to quit facebook. I already have my google account and my "secret" blog to update people.

The least I can do is suffer their haunting faces. They may be disturbing, but it is the truth few would like to stomach. I want to remember so when an argument comes up again, this image is enough push me to fight. in reference to: Terrorism that's personal (12 images) | Reporting with a camera ( view on Google Sidewiki )

Wind is unreliable and at best it can only serve as supplementary power source. In other words, one can only build wind turbines as long as there is another more reliable power-source that can pick up the slack at its lowest performance. So if you are a developing country with a lot of fossil fuel burning plants, Wind turbines serve to increase your capacity by its. All turbines and batteries that need rare-earth elements for construction. Those valuable elements will find its price going up as more turbines and batteries are going to be needed to bring down fossil fuel consumption. I wouldn't worry regarding exhausting all the planet's rare-earths, there are many countries (Philippines included) that have not been surveyed for it. As more countries can afford the tech that require these rare earths, will we experience the mineral shortage we experience now with iron and copper? Yellow Future . Philippine Population growth is at 2%. If Philippine economic growth is at 4% minus

I wish I had this growing up. Math took a back seat to Theology, Latin and Catechism growing up. I can understand why very very few people will have the patience to teach math to an individual's own mental peculiarities. I feel very much the same way as Salman when he related about how he liked learning things. For me, gaming was a tool for understanding because it framed things more interestingly, it is only in my 30s did I learn to frame almost anything to be interesting for me and I wish I could have learn the techniques earlier. Lately I'm finishing up my economics lessons and plan to move to lessons on mandarin and Chinese history and culture. This is what I plan to learn while idle and nothing else to do but listen to my mp3 player. This has the longest to pay off but one of the most certain to. Actively I will be learning more of 3d production and graphics for work and job security. It will be kind of fun because I always have past childish imaginations to reconstruct in

If someone told me economics and math was the equivalent of min/maxing or munchkin in real life then I would have taken to it much earlier. In the number of projects that have failed and stalled, the ability to use Introspection with Economics to develop a strategy maximizing my utility over time would have saved me a ton of anguish. In fact I can take the formula and lessons farther: as it can be a very good foundation for a method of fore-thought. Looking before leaping is common sense, what isn't is the ability to judge if it is worth leaping into. Thats what I find myself loving about economics, its a new set of skills to describe the world the way I used to use RPG mechanics.

Elections - I voted on monday. The heat was so bad, i had a head ache the rest of the day even if my dad helped me skip the line and get it all done in an hour. Cheating? the initial long line is for sorting, if you know where you are supposed to go then you can skip it. The right to vote and the not to participate. I've seen a bunch of pretty lame reasons not to participate: "choosing who will rape you by vote is still rape" and all that crap. The analogies are lame and fail on many levels to address the most fundamental fact of reality: if you have a better idea go ahead and try it, mean while we are free to negatively react and draw a poor opinion of you with such poor analogies. Libertarianism - I think libertarians should read up on history, economics and human behavior more. I get a lot of them in 4chan, of course it seems like they are mostly Anti-Libertarians who are trying to draw them out to argue with them and disappear into anonymity. Free markets as explain

I was just looking at Kelestia productions and their visible business model is the kind I would want to get into if opportunity knocked on my door. I calculated how much Operations and Starting Capital Costs for such a dream: 3million pesos or around $60,000. This is enough to operate at the duration of a year. Dreams like these cost money and they don't come out as a sure thing. The 3 million assumes that I can enter into the business and get a return on investment greater than 20% (the load interest of some banks) and 11% given the average Philippine inflation. Thats not the only thing the to pay back, to make it really worth while is that it should make enough money to allow it to grow, add on that bank interest another 30-50% return. A total of 60% return would be necessary to decide to grow further or to set the stage to sell the company. Business don't exactly have a season to mark start and end of earnings. Seasons do tend to affect opportunities, but they are not with

I plan to run Old School DnD using OSRIC . I have some old adventures I've put a way for a long time hoping to run it for my brothers but that time has very long past. Thief's Challenge II is still in its plastic, unopened all these years. Some problems. I can't stand how screwed up are the equipment weights and the lack of detail, annoys me. I'm thinking of just using the D20 equipment list instead which I can easy download . The Big changes in d20 equipment are significant in bringing some much needed details that are important in problem solving. Anyway, other than that I plan to run it RAW. Just for the hell of it.
