Attribution Based Economics (ABE) is a new paradigm for economics that revises several foundational assumptions governing today’s systems, including the nature of economic value and the origin of money. In this new paradigm, open source software becomes economically viable and, indeed, even financially favored over proprietary models. This talk describes our experiences implementing an early prototype for the Qi project, and also how Racket will be an essential part of the solution as ABE scales past the pilot stage.
As Parker Molloy reports, Nate Silver, who has described himself as “somewhere between a libertarian and a liberal," has joined the "manufactured panic" club about Biden's age — Biden being THREE YEARS older than Trump and in far better physical shape.
The phrase "manufactured panic" is Charles Blow's excellent summary of the media meme that Biden is too old.
Nate Silver has gone a long way by touting himself "just a numbers guy," but it's clear, as Molloy says that he has aspirations to punditry — and that he's one of those mainstream media gurus who love to play the both sides game essentially to keep the left wing of the Democratic party in check — and to aid the Republican party without admitting this is what he's doing. Very Serious People hang on his words.
