I stumbled across this well written article one of the most masterful hacks of the financial system in history.

A neat trick I learned today from Kevin Rose.

If you a using Gmail as you personal email and are giving it out to sites that you don’t trust, give them +@gmail.com instead. Use any word after the plus as your unique spam filter. So for example, periferral+jobs@gmail.com could be used to filter all emails when you apply for jobs. You can create filters based on from to easily filter spam.

Neat huh?

This is how geeks do poker. Ben Joffe figured out a way where it doesn’t matter where you cut a deck, a cold deck can be designed such that a specific player always wins.

How cool is this. Now if only we humans could evolve to be something like this and solve our climate chaos.

Fascinating post about how evolution is beyond us.
