winstonsmith··on Bitcoin's UK future looks bleak
Rather than "be care what I wish for", I'm more inclined to see a warning that holding banks accountable for criminal activity is a bad thing for cryptomoney as a reductio ad absurdum argument against cryptomoney.

winstonsmith··on 1/500th of humanity's time is spent on Facebook
The average time spent per user is not the same as the time spent by the average user. The former is the mean time and is what is needed for the calculation (in place of 55 minutes); the latter is the median time.

On the other hand, the mean is at least half of the median, so at least 1/1000 of humanity's time is spent on Facebook (if the other assumptions are correct).
