I keep getting fun books from my sister. Now I have a Finnish translation of "Die B�rse" by [[w:Max Weber|Max Weber]], which should provide for some interesting reading moments.

It seems that at the time of writing ([[w:1894|1894]] to [[w:1896|1896]]) Max Weber was a professor of [[w:macroeconomics|macroeconomics]]. [[w:commodity exhange|Commodity exhange]]s and [[w:stock exchange|stock exchange]]s were not differentiated at that time

:See comments at [[Talk:Research Wiki]].  Noise implies [[Development Wiki]] more than [[Research Wiki]].  The name "noise wiki" is bad for many reasons.  What prevents anyone from putting in any crap, and why should someone who is not basically worried about the [[Consumerium buying signal]], but just wants to write articles, contribute stuff to be called "noise"?  They'd contribute diligent "research" to a [[Research Wiki]], probably, but why volunteer good material to a wiki whose very name invites crap?  But anyway get the functions right first, names right later.

I'll try to merge the material from [[Content Wiki]], [[TCE]], [[Campaigns]], [[Opinion Wiki]], [[Direct Vote]]s,[[Indirect Vote]]s and [[WikiVote]]s to these articles or somewhere where we can '''have clarity on our implementation plan'''

:Please combine all the voting stuff into [[edits, votes and bets]] or at least argue for this design there so we can look at how they interact.  And yes spending time reading something is a bet of your time.
