facebook? i have never been on facebook, but i happened to access my g+ 'home' page today (from another computer) and it was full... i usually don't go there it did not feel like 'home' at all...

I like how confusing it can be to read about simple. Or rather, how complex a subject it is to discuss :) By definition simple is made of a single element (from latin simplex). There are quotes coming to my mind, like 'less is more', 'perfection is when there is noting left to be removed'. It's a lot about mental model: to be able to manage a project one has to be able to keep it all in one's head, thus simplifying is mastering chaos It often is multi-layer though. It's a loss less mental model compression An example that I have in mind is monotheism evolving from other older models, it's simple in a sense, and also more portable across different cultures, but it's deep (no proselytism intended). PS: cannot find where 'simplex' comes from :(

Merry Christmas HN 16 years ago

Joyeux Noel & Bonne Annee from Amsterdam where we celebrated another Santa Claus just about three weeks ago. So here we go again. Slightly different tune though. It makes me think that Religion is Culture.
