Fast Research & Development

People tend to believe that R&D takes a long time.

Most useful: read this list https://patrickcollison.com/fast -- assembled by Patrick Collison
Elon simplicity: long is wrong, tight is right
- also in there: remove design parts. the best engineering design improvement is to remove things -- undesign things.
Max Hodak (transcriptic, neuralink, ...) says "you should be able to design an experiment, go into surgery, get the data, and do the analysis in under a week" (on fast feedback loops for BMI)
Demis Hassabis - energy, pace, focus, -- blue sky research group w/ the intensity of a startup

Messages in Filecoin allow sending arbitrary values through the params field.

Encoding data into `params`

data to send through transactions should be base64 encoded when using the message sending APIs.
note: you'll be sending to method: 0, which should be the default in your tools. method: 0 will ignore the params.

Keybase proof

I hereby claim:

I am jbenet on github.
I am jbenet (https://keybase.io/jbenet) on keybase.
I have a public key ASAEBwJK1_z8s2R5Pxgl1wteFS85Kaz748RvCh3h8Y9WjQo

To claim this, I am signing this object:

When people come up with ideas, they often assume that:

coming up with an idea is the same thing as coming up with an idea first (it isn't, read existing literature)
coming up with an idea first is dramatically more special than coming up with an idea (it isn't)
the wealth of existing literature does not include their idea (almost always it does)
unpublished ideas do not count (they do, lots of important discoveries happen verbally, and unfortunately sometimes only verbally :( )
coming up with it first is more important than fleshing out a body of work (it isn't)

And these assumptions tend to make people very unhappy. I repeatedly see people succumbing to sadness over multiple discovery. It shouldn't be sad, it should be a happy event, as it confirms our thoughts and presents an opportunity for collaborations.
