You're pretty fly (for a white guy)

Good find. The tech system I'm using right now is mapped to historical progression of tech from 1830~1930 with room for slight deviation, but it isn't very granular. Also the idea of counting dissertations is very interesting.

It is somewhat amusing to consider that research points a la Civ series aren't really that far off the mark.

This is interesting due to how it tries to quantify technological development in percents and time-differentials. No methodology, but the data is from the South Korean MITI equivalents.

Try asking El Machinae why, as a Singularitarian, he endorses wasting computational power and electricity on digital "dumb matter" like BitCoins, instead of on something—anything—actually useful, like BOINC. I would, but I can't be bothered and I'm too odious to listen to.

This forum is afraid of me... I have seen its true face. The threads are extended gutters and the gutters are full of opinions and when the pages finally spill over, all the posters will drown. The accumulated filth of all their lies and egos will foam up about their cursors and all the gimmick-accounts and moderators will look up and type "Save us!"... and I'll look down and reply "No."

I see your bestshot signature and I raise you:

I get the sense that the MEC is more like a fire-and-move unit, like armored cavalry. The SHIV is more of a draw-fire-and-soak unit, like a tank. MECs being expensive and SHIVs being cheap is the real difference in these two roles, rather than any other innate ability. SHIVs make EU way more fun though, so with all the additional stuff in EW, you could probably do some amusing things.

The SHIV is powerful because having a unit you can send wherever, that can soak hits, and that you don't really care about is extremely liberating vis-a-vis tactical movement.

The calls for a split mark a new, more acrimonious chapter in the long-simmering conflict between the Tea Party and the Republican establishment. Steve Deace, an Iowa-based talk-radio host, said his audience has never been angrier. “They’re tired of electing a bunch of Republicans who care more about what the media thinks about them than what the people who elected them think,” he told me. “Why do I care whether John Boehner or Nancy Pelosi is the speaker of the House? Why do I care whether Harry Reid or ‘Ditch’ McConnell is the Senate majority leader? What changes? Nothing changes.”

More grist for why I believe the franchise should be earned, not given.
