mircea_popescu: haha no, but it's a simple
test for class.
there's
three classes practically,
the homeless,
the employed,
the idle.
OneMiner: There's already a legal precident for
that where I'm from.
knotwork: Also aren't American Presidents more king in practice
than, well,
the Queen for example?
OneMiner: Well, I can
tell you
that if a person
tries
to put me in a class under
them....
their
time is limited at
that point.
OneMiner: So, slavery. It's
the natural conclusion, don't you
think?
knotwork: Not so sure. Consider voters, bread, and circusses. Having someone
trained
to
the
task who can call for a vote of n o confidence seems it could have redeeming virtue
OneMiner: If you have someone above
then it's possible
to have others below. It's an argument for slavery in reverse.
OneMiner: They should do
the right
thing and become citizens like everybody else instead of what I like
to call "super citizens" most equal of
the equals, you dig?
knotwork: Suppose
the Queen Mum had been in
there!?!?! :)
OneMiner: The fact
that
there's still a royal family offends me
too.
knotwork: 4th july is
the more modern one, yay we DID get free of crown and parliament. braggarts. :)
OneMiner: People who choose
to solve
their problems with explosives are not welcome near me, but I'll
take a look at
that anyways. ;)
knotwork: 5th november is almost a national holiday so as never
to forget
knotwork: some big nob was in
the houses at
the
time else maybe it'd've been a misdeameanor or a service
to
the crown
OneMiner: Ummm..... Don't know 'bout
the 5th of Nov. Probably heard of it once.....
knotwork: He put fireworks under
the Central Bank! (no, wait, just
the houses of parliament, maybe not so bad?)
knotwork: Gunpowder,
Treason, and Plot!??!
knotwork: Remember Remember
the Fifth of November? Does
that rhyme now only refer
to some 21st century movie?!?!?!
knotwork: OneMiner haha for a moment I
thought you mean Guy Ffawkes got
ten months for it :)
knotwork: actually it wasnt even selling charge its worded as possession with intent
to sell so is not only assuming guilt its assuming intent
mircea_popescu: knotwork wait a second. are you
talking
tobacco or pot ?
knotwork: I was willing
to go
to supreme court on
that as assuming guilt so
the dropped
the selling charges and gave me 30 days weekends for
the cultivation
OneMiner: The one law has nothing
to do with
the other. Fireworks are explosives and can set fires easily. Guy got 10 months for it. Sounds kosher
to me.
knotwork: I wasn't even actually proven
to sell
them, its assumed anyone with
two cartons of smokes must be a dealer, no proof needed
knotwork: spent
the last weekend at home in house arrest,
their was
too much weed in
the prison so
they let folk go home
knotwork: hmm maybe weekend countes as 3 days. it counted for more
than it really was for sure
knotwork: not an approved means of weaning oneself off
their evil weed :)
knotwork: smells nicer
than
the state's evil weed and causes less cancer, plus might not pay
tax! Eeeeeevil!
knotwork: yeah 30 days served on weekends in
the
trailer outside
the actua prison, with
time off for good behavior.
knotwork: oh and sell
them. growing is only up
to 7 years, selling is up
to life
knotwork: Chap did
time! Selling fireworks by mail. Me all I did was grow plants
knotwork: I suppose now when all
the [...fellows..] hear
that I did
time for *growing and selling plants*
they'lll all move over on
the bench
to distance
themselves from me...
knotwork: Oh gosh I'm shocked, anarchists don't just *read*
the anarchists cookbook some of
them actually *cook*?!??! But
to
then capitalistically *sell*
their cooking gasp
that is *too* much!
Chaaang-Noi: this is why nefario had
to shut down glbse
Chaaang-Noi: no one has a claim vs me...
they have claim vs glbse
Chaaang-Noi: EskimoBob i dont know who
the investors are..
the only one i deal with is nefaro/glbse
mircea_popescu: runs a computer parts shop in california, financed bitpay
to some degree, lost a lot of money in bitcoinica etc
mircea_popescu: OneMiner he's a bitcoin enthusiast, been doing
things like
taking outdoor panels
to advertise his acceptance of bitcoin
OneMiner: You can only imagine how many were in his apartment. If
there was a fire he'd be lucky
to not end up with manslaughter charges at
the least.
OneMiner: Who's Mr. Ver? 10 months in prison sounds about right
to me. One of
the links
talks about him storing
the explosives in a residential apartment building and mailing
them via US mail. Assuming
the products were going all over
the country
they could have ended up on a plane. At
the very minimum he put hundreds of people in mortal or near mortal danger.
Diablo-D3: Anduck: plus, I bought back half
the DMC shares before GLBSE collapsed, and
the DI.BFLSC stuff isnt due until after
the 31st
Diablo-D3: until nefario releases
the data, I cant do shit
mircea_popescu: in all cases it cuts
the eventual punishment significantly.
EskimoBob: if I understand it correctly, PPT operators can actually get off
that boat by paying
the investors back
the coin
mircea_popescu: so what's
the word, any asics delivered last week ? what was
the hash jump we saw ?
Chaaang-Noi: and now he and all
the other glbsers can get
their asses sued
Chaaang-Noi: diable only needs
to pay glbse.. glbse
then needs
to pay out
the money
Chaaang-Noi: if he
trust nefario it opens himself up
to others claiming
they had it
Chaaang-Noi: he cant ever "know" he can only
trust nefario
Anduck: i had like 1 btc in
there...
Chaaang-Noi: its not
the asset issuers responcability
to deal with
the broker, its
the people who used
the brokers servces
to deal with it
Anduck: what are you going
to do about it?
Diablo-D3: what happened
to ALL
THE FUCKING ASSETS ON GLBSE
Anduck: wat happened
to BFL.FAIL and BFL.SUCC and DMC?
Chaaang-Noi: why would he be selling
that stuff on ebay
Chaaang-Noi: yeah he should not ahve mailed
them or sold
them on ebay
rg: the fact
that its from a retard makes it SO much worse
mircea_popescu: The woman named “Democrat of
The Year”
this year by
the Jefferson County Democratic Party has been convicted of felony
theft by a Jefferson County jury for stealing from a developmentally disabled 71-year-old woman.
mircea_popescu: girl dug up a conviction.
there will be a post in a few.
smickles: what'd he get
that status for?
smickles: oh wow, i'm going
to make a solid rocket booster out of sucrose
smickles: but neither were
the people wo developed
the vega rocket
smickles: lol, so in
the same
timeframe it
took
to develop
this (and
the rocket
that sent it up), elon musk docked a ship with
the ISS
mircea_popescu: shoulda hired
the brits instead, 5b sounds more hygienic
than guyana
smickles: makes sense,
they launched it, right?
smickles: "As of 26 February 2012, it appears
that
the satellite has not settled into
the orbit properly. Due
to a malfunction
to its stabilizing system, it is expected
that
the satellite will spin uncontrollably and eventually get lost in space. However,
the coordinator of
the project, Mugurel Bălan has stated
that
the situation is under control."
