mircea_popescu: attn all present jpm bankers. the girl won't leave till she's bled you dry!
mircea_popescu: but you're not allowed to open a shop on 5th avenue which lists all prices in bitcoin and doesn't take usd,
mircea_popescu: cads don't be bullied into it, but just consider that a) you really can't go through life like this and b) you definitely can't write the austrian thing for this reason.
mircea_popescu: i tend to ask people with gold coin collections (which obviously WILL include some) "but you don't think the earth is flat, too, do youi ?"
mircea_popescu: the20year2: In a life or death situation i'm sure they don't care too much << did this guy just argue with a bunch of people about using the rifle as a club ?
mircea_popescu: cads: I think they want to see what a $1000 3d printer can do << by paying 700 for an itam ? wouldn't it be easier to just add 300 and check the printer at home ?
mircea_popescu: o look, the "i didn't know i was on private" bs made it to here.

ThickAsThieves: can't remove that really
kakobrekla: Captain Zapp Brannigan: Don't blame yourself, Kif. We were doomed from the start. I guess all that remains now is for the captain to go down with the ship.

TomServo: lol they couldn't be bothered to have unique 'about us' descriptions?
the20year2: oh wow, i din't realize tesla was at $200
diametric: davout: It doesn't, but those that enforce it will find something it is relevant too, and you're kidding yourself if you think bitcoin wouldn't be it.
davout: no it didn't, like i said, bitcoin is a commodity
davout: it can't follow that the second sentence prohibits bitcoin
davout: since the first sentence didn't outlaw bitcoin, the second sentence is just making exceptions
diametric: davout: I'm missing how you think the first sentence doesn't ban using something as money other than USD.
davout: diametric: it doesn't say it's the *only* allowed form of alt currency
davout: diametric: i didn't see any part where it said it *had* to be, it says it isn't forbidden
davout: diametric: which does't imply that alternative currency based on the usd is forbidden
davout: diametric: i read it as "issuing alternative currency based on the usd isn't forbidden"
diametric: its something that realistically won't come into play until Bitcoin becomes large enough that very large communities (in the US) begin transacting solely in bitcoin
diametric: ie I want to sell you a $500 phone for BTC. I figure out how much BTC is worth about $500, thats fine. If I decide based on other factors then I wouldn't be.

the20year2: I'm sure it won't happen like that, but the gun within grabbing ditance, ready to go in my house is a colt AR15, not my AK
the20year2: I love my AK, but I can't say it's the gun I want to use if the world ends
asciilifeform: all of this being rather funny in light of the fact that the vietnamese wouldn't pick these up, even when brand new.

the20year2: In a life or death situation i'm sure they don't care too much
asciilifeform: it isn't a crowbar
the20year2: It just isn't possible to bend the barrel of a modern firearm
greenspan_fan: you don't have to bend it much to wreck it
diametric: CF just isn't something you really 3D print with
cads: I'm kinda worried our printer won't be able to do it
greenspan_fan: yes, didn't they have to switch back?
diametric: If it were like an objet, then yeah $700 probably isn't enough.
the20year2: Big cost on the t
the20year2: For cnc it could likely be fine, for 3d printing i don't think it'd be right
the20year2: But, as you said if it's a prototype it might make sense to test it before using. Granted I don't undersand how you came to $700 if that fee doesn't include the design work too
nubbins`: but hey, isn't that just a different way of saying "decentralization"? ;D
nubbins`: i believe that he doesn't know what three of those words mean

mike_c: aren't we all sitting in front of multiple 30" monitors that are blasting our eyes to crap anyway?
mircea_popescu: i don't think i've read type smaller than about half an inch in the past decade
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You didn't get him in channel though.
nubbins`: <--doesn't keep up on tech much anymore
asciilifeform: i literally don't need it for anything other than reading djvu scans.
asciilifeform: TomServo: it wasn't a proper monitor. tablet widget.
asciilifeform: ' he was the winner of the "nigritude ultramarine" search engine optimization contest,[5] and in 2005 he was photographed and printed in the New York Times on June 2, 2005, Fashion Thursday section in a Threadless t-shirt mentioning the web site Goatse.cx.'
mircea_popescu: tho you couldn't build shit
mike_c: !t h rent
mircea_popescu: he doesn't know who i am.
mircea_popescu: the difference between the smart and the stupid is simply that the smart can be stupid. the stupid can't be smart.
mircea_popescu: ironically, i had an account long long ago, then abandoned it because they did something stupid to the site. don't remember what exactly.
mircea_popescu: average joe blow banker can't articulate why he doesn't like bitcoin.

mircea_popescu: the us folk are merely on the receiving end of a pillage system their grandfathers built and they can't support.
mircea_popescu: they don't actually have enough for any other saving to be worthwhile
the20year: most africans don't save, saving money for the future is a good thing
the20year: I don't know about that, it's going to be quite interesting though in 20 years
the20year: Yeah, obviously that's stupid because Romania can't produce things like that, they're more into producing shovels and cheap inaccurate guns
mircea_popescu: they... didn't do so well.
BingoBoingo: Thailand and Ukraine in flames at the same time? There won't be any girls left for the cam sites.

mircea_popescu: so they don't have to go back to ohio and help pick up the potato crop.
cazalla: i don't understand why there are more and more of these types of people
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's a price.
BingoBoingo: Lloyds might have to insure a bet on Dash. So much Hurp. I don't think I can price Dash.
mircea_popescu: i don't get why that's supposed to be a problem anyway. so he retweeted only women. i fuck only women. seems about even.
mircea_popescu: i dun think he actually has the clue to see the difference, just, the doge troop of fucktards probably haven't bought his payola whatever yet,
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The Doge article where he wrote about only retweeting women. It would have been a Bit article if only it wouldn't insult Bit, hence Doge article.
mircea_popescu: wasn't inclined to give some VC the nod on this. On reflection, I'll be explicit: If you're a venture capitalist, and you invest in Pax's startup without a profound, meaningful and years-long demonstration of responsibility from Pax beforehand, you're complicit in extending the tech industry's awful track record of exclusion, and it's unacceptable."
mircea_popescu: "There was also a pretty dogged pitch for his startup, which will get all kinds of warm huzzahs from the intersection of MRAs, Bitcoin fans, NSA critics and Redditors. I was pretty amazed that he went for it. He flat out said that he wants his startup to be funded and wasn't sure if it'd be possible after all of his, and I replied that it realistically wasn't going to happen without the say-so of someone like me, and I
mircea_popescu: i don't recall such insolence in quite a while.
r3wt: you can defy tradition and even physics, but you can't defy logic
antephialtic: I don't think the turkish president gives a fuck how many twitter followers he has
r3wt: I'm pretty sure i can't transfer the key from ATC to BTC
mircea_popescu: so i guess the circle is complete, don't recomend yarvin to me, recomend trilema to his readership, which will result in him having more stuff to write in the future.
mircea_popescu: theirs does not in fact work as implemented, like a lawn mower that doesn't cut, you just follow after it with clippers.
greenspan_fan: isn't theirs worse, though? I can get the news from anywhere, but to read your site I have to use proxies or wait
greenspan_fan: I can't really tell, since you're not a native english speaker, but I'd say "one draft" because you're baiting me.
greenspan_fan: which is not to say that they don't have interesting/worthwhile things in them
greenspan_fan: it's one of those things you have to experience in order to discover that no, it won't be different this time
greenspan_fan: yet you see people who still claim to be "communist" and aren't easily dismissed
