<p>I regretably didnt save it but there was a truly hilarious topic on usenet sci.physics long long ago. If we've gathered enough evidence against something or if the thing goes against accepted consensus you are forbidden from doing further research and new evidence is no longer allowed. The topic then invited others to list such topics. The list grew to hundreds of entries and people couldnt resist getting angry reading their personal trigger words despite there being many more silly things on it.<p>Yours shall be filed under homeopathy :)</p>

<p>This line of reasoning has always cracked me up. The internal dialog acidentally out loud at the least flattering moment. I believe the correct response to be:<p>The tree is a perpetual motion machine hooked up directly to the wheelworks of nature! It PUMPS 500 liters per day usibg Wind, solar, capilar action and evaporation! How do i charge my car with this?</p>

<p>One time early in the morning i couldnt remember the 6 digit accesscode for a warehouse. It seemed completely pointless to go there. Approaching the door i thought and now what?? When close enough my hand went up and typed the code. The door opened and i thought, wait, what was it? The memory was only available if my hand was on the keypad. It then seemed pointless to conciously remember it.</p>

<p>A different funny that should be archived here with the above.<p>Assuming you can type well.<p>Take a sentence, put your hands on the keyboard with the intend to type it but dont do it.<p>Some time later dont try to remember the sentence but just put the hands on the keys and let them type. Its really funny seeing the text come out of your keyboard buffer muscle memory.<p>Some japanese guy said he played with the concept and reported that he could fit a whole paragraph or a list of things big enough that he couldnt recall it without using his hands. He could do an invisible abacus to recall it.</p>

<p>Something funny i discover: i had thoughts or tried to explain something decades ago and made a drawing. Some of these are just a circle with some arrows. Turns out it is really hard to make a drawing bad enough that you dont know what it is. It sometimes works better than even a written description.<p>So you can just doodle in a notebook and tell yourself you've written it down. If you look at it regularly im sure recall will be even more perfect.<p>If you dont write anything down you wont be alle to access an orderly array of thoughs.</p>

<p>Sounds good.<p>Make several modular probes and give them fancy names.<p>Have various support classes like signal relay, charge stations, camera cleaning, resque etc<p>Sell rent lease the vehicles to customers who get to pilot them in vr.<p>Create a simulator where one can explore some already explored areas with the probes projected in real time. Create a market for map chunks.<p>I think it will make one hell of a game.<p>Roberts Space Industries Legatus bundle costs $48,000 USD and you only get pixels.<p>If you can have your own exploration submarine without having to deal with all the boring logistcs yourself people will gladly pay many times that and hire other players to do ingame jobs like keeping the signal alive.<p>If you can build the mothership with investors and crowdsourcing then maintain it with subscription fees and insurance policies it would be hilarious even before anyone finds anything interesting.</p>

<p>I know one who spends the days seemingly not doing antthing. He spends like a month with his own thoughts and comes up with truly bizare things that work.<p>In one instance he raised the price of something by 1000 times without adding anything extra. His explaination was that it would build the right community. In his opinion people were to negative/sceptical and talked to much about what things cost.<p>Cost him 90% of the customers innitially then grew by 100ish%. As if some high end comedy the 90% said it was to expensive and that it would never work. The other 10% really needed to see what would happen.</p>

<p>Imagine you could buy some serial extendable base station and click all of your old phones in it.<p>Applications could offload all kinds of tasks.<p>You dont even need to invent useful applications the community will do it for you. But if you insist, think all kinds of cheap smart devices that offload the smart part.</p>

<p>People get scam emails all the time and most dont know the weird ui to display the sender adress and/or dont know what an untrustworthy mail address looks like.<p>They might not understand the paranoia is real.<p>Remember people running 20 virus scanners and 3 firewalls on their win xp machine? Then it finds 12 suspicious cookies?</p>

<p>I write little bits of code then test them. If the screen flickers i wouldnt continue until it is solved. If ive missed it and have to hear it from (a) user(s) i would kinda like to fix it imediately. Not always possible but truly annoying things have priority over new things.<p>If i had unlimited developers at my command. All many times as fast as me.... how can i keep the problem? It would take some huge effort to keep.<p>The unlimited number of devs would talk about it an unlimited number of times. Not fixing it would be very expensive that way.</p>

<p>10 years ago i wrote a php web chat in 2 hours or so. I pretty much never look at it but the tinestamps suggest it always worked.<p>I could add more features to it and those will also work.<p>A friend once worked on an application with a huge team. He often pointed out the window at a large costuction site with a comparable number of people working. He made countless jokes about real work, a real system, real organisation etc Then one day the building was finished and their application kept crashing in production.</p>
