This is just an observation, and the thing about microexpression reading is that it is prone to error in both interpretation and recognition if not performed by a train professional

What do trains have to do with that?

Who made you micromanager of the microexpression post? Grin

I encourage anyone who has sent thousands of USD/BTC to this man to take a look at Dr. Paul Eckman's work in microexpressions and deception. I was his protégé for several years in a West Coast research facility (this was before the whole Lie to Me series that he inspired), so I have a fair bit of knowledge in this arena.

Let me put it this way: if I was still teaching, I would use this video as a textbook example of extreme masked contempt and happiness. The contempt is obvious, of course, but an interesting point about these emotions - when shown together and masked - is that they are highly correlated with deep-seated deception and feelings of "smugness".

This is just an observation, and the thing about microexpression reading is that it is prone to error in both interpretation and recognition if not performed by a train professional (and the interpretation is always prone to error). I just think it's worthy to note.

Now go read this thread for some more fun insights (not specific to BFL, just in general): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/an-asic-companys-guide-to-maximizing-profit-while-destroying-bitcoin-156501

Dear Butterfly Labs,

10 month ago you started to take our pre order money. Since 10 month we are waiting for your ASIC's. Up until now there is not even a working prototype.

I would like to offer my help. Can I give you a quarter so that you can go and purchase a clue?

Here is my first one. And it's for free: http://bit.ly/zoBy9V

Sincerely,
Frizz
