I'm not sure if it was an accident, or on purpose. However, if it were on purpose, I applaud the author for a well crafted bet |

TheNewDeal |
because it read so similar to a lot of those other bets, but like you said, it was basically "gold closes above 1200" |

that's another thing. does not mean the real ones died out |

bounce anyway, so stated our dispute boils down to me saying that it is upon you either to present an outside criteria or else yield. (which is why i assumed your criteria is presented, and summarized it as "pre digital"). my point generally is that you can't present any meaningful criteria anyway. |
16:57 |
mircea_popescu |
so, no, it's no longer a profession. it's dead as its own thing, no matter who does what to whom. |
16:58 |
mircea_popescu |
it wasn't so dead at some point in 1920, of course, but that only to us. i'm sure in 1920 some similar dispute raged, either about draughstmanship or some other sort of engraving. |

there is another 'secret' - and that is, that most folks who actually need 40+MP photographs in real life - astronomers, spies, biologists, weirdos like yours truly, etc. - own and operate own hardware. and don't actually need photographers. |

sometimes the death of a profession is not all smiles. i once saw a rant lamenting the invention of LaTeX as a terrible calamity for mathematics. argument was that, whereas it was once possible for mathematicians (and physicists) to remain entirely innocent of typograpy and its brute labours, now the typographers gave up and went home. and now you (maths folks) also are stuck being typographers - and generally, no |

mircea_popescu |
the reason is that once you broadcast a tx, you no longer have control of it. |

if you bundle its contents with later material you have constructed two competing txn, one of which will be introduced. |
