mircea_popescu: it doesn't have to be presidents does it ?
the20year: I thought you were talking about herbert, as edgar wasn't president
Duffer1: they didn't want states rights, they wanted the north to stop telling them what to do
Duffer1: macro economics isn't as eye catching as the horrors of slavery
mircea_popescu: that vision has meanwhile been realised, and unsurprising anyone with a clue, you mostly don't like it.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, people don't generally intend this.
Duffer1: slavery laws weren't modernized until the 50's and 60s, i believe you're underestimating southern racism
the20year: And slavery today isn't very popular at all , outside of sexual slavery which is a whole other ballgame
Duffer1: even if they didn't intend to keep them, southern laws forbade their existence outside of any context that didn't revolve around a white master
mircea_popescu: if the slavery question were allowed to die out rather than used as a pretext for a war, you wouldn't still be fighting over the mason-dixon line in 2013 ffs.
TomServo: a fair point, I wasn't intending to misconstrue
mircea_popescu: and won't face any alternative explanation.
TomServo: folks claim he made a killing on doge, but won't admit it
mircea_popescu: benkay i don't think one exists, tho there'd make defionite sense
nubbins`: <pankkake> probably santa mining with the gifts <<< lel, isn't that bad for his chi?
asciilifeform: (i still can't read 'dwolla' without thinking of nigerian spam. must be the consonant cluster.)
KRS|Gotyawallet: well...mt gox isn't designed like that. Between bad trades, fees are supposed to eat up your moneies anyway so getting fiat out isnt a problem.
the20year: They're all in limited geographic areas and don't want to branch out, which is one of the problems i'm trying to mitigate early on
mircea_popescu: the20year i wouldn't be too worried about that if i were you.
nubbins`: it's nice for shared living tho, sound doesn't travel well between floors
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: consider that canada is ostensibly metric and i don't know the square metrage of my house
the20year: one option that I considered, but it just didn't work out for us was to buy a home warranty
the20year: We don't completely gut , but anything that's close to its end of effective lifespan gets replaced
the20year: and a dozen here in Ohio I don't want to touch with a 10 foot pole
mircea_popescu: i don't imagine they were talking michigan when saying detroit.
the20year: Michigan doesn't have a monoindustry problem , Detroit has one though
the20year: I don't understand it either pankkake
pankkake: I'm not confortable investing in real estate where I don't know the market, too
mircea_popescu: you obviously wouldn't think of buying the thing otherwise than "buying an us future with a built in interest rate"
mike_c: it's turning btc into housing. i don't see how that will work out.
mircea_popescu: why, you know something i don't ?
mircea_popescu: it's not loose money policies that cause those, and loose money policies don't cause them in the eu.
Duffer1: wouldn't matter even if we did use such a system, housing as you pointed out is is obscenely expensive
mircea_popescu: not to mention you idiots - as there's no better name - still don't use torrens.
pankkake: food isn't either? lol
KRS|Gotyawallet: lol ya my drinking days were left behind in college..wouldn't mind sparking up some fine herb though..pass the j
KRS|Gotyawallet: i've tried to tear this thing apart..i can't.
Vexual: elvis said you can ignore space and time, don't mean you have to
KRS|Gotyawallet: I actually can't cite anything else from the article.
KRS|Gotyawallet: You know what, I analyzed this article but i actually applied critical thinking this time..initially, I didn't. It really is a bunch of bullshit. None of the points were backed by good examples.
BingoBoingo: BTC isn't consumer stuff
KRS|Gotyawallet: so supply isn't a problem..
BingoBoingo: KRS|Gotyawallet: And nevar forget that 'Murica isn't even 'Murican enough for Duck Dynasty
BingoBoingo: KRS|Gotyawallet: That article basically reads as 'Murica can't bitcoin so I hate Bitcoin
Vexual: you sure get all english as a second language when you don't like the content smidge
Vexual: please don't forget about me
mircea_popescu: s pretend there doesn;t exist a $1bn+ player around and our 5mn start-up could matter"
nubbins`: like that poster i linked isn't our design
nubbins`: i can't stop staring at that poster
nubbins`: super last minute job, almost didn't get it done on time
Vexual: reading popescue is like nos, theres that numbing confusion that might be funny, but you don't know where you're sitting, a fruity dry nose of old wood and nosferatu, and a defined sense of nostradamus lingering on the palette.
nubbins`: ah. we didn't have enough time to make a rainbow vomit
ozbot: Why the Web Won't Be Nirvana
benkay: !t m s.nsa
mircea_popescu: maybe your ground isn't as deep in france ?
pankkake: isn't it 6?
pankkake: wow, UK. what haven't they censored yet?
Duffer1: they want dat real estate, they don't want bitcoin to live
the20year2: If that was the case there'd be no problem and i wouldn't give a care about listing anywhere
the20year2: We've very seriously looked at doing a DPO but I can't round up enough investment to justify it
the20year2: Our lawyer has made me aware of the requirements, the issue here is that I don't know of any US investors that we have, SEC allows me to file a PPM if/when I'm notified of US investors ,and since startup we've barred US investment
Duffer1: sorry i haven't followed rental starter at all, are you registered DPO or did you ipo?
the20year2: in this case, you have to have teams of workers to do the rehab work , qualify tenants. Sure, you can spend more money to 'just get it done', but if you do that you pay retail for everything, and you can't make money by paying what everyone else does
the20year2: mircea , i send out cashflow reports to all our investors now , i don't make them public. I can send over our current business plan + cashflow report if you'd want
the20year2: I hope they don't start charging for IRC
mircea_popescu: pls don't be shy to report any issues.
mircea_popescu: "i think it's here to say but please don't misconstrue anything i say into grounds to sue me. also don't ask me about various milky topics re the bf"
markedathome: I don't suppose anyone knows of how to extract private keys from the satoshidice desktop app that was around a year or so ago?
davout: but from what i understand, simply adding an order id to the reported executions isn't really trivial on your end
mircea_popescu: don't let me dissuiade you, it's a good thing.
davout: heh it doesn't, just trying to think about whether there are edge cases that your solution doesn't cover, because you know, that's what i do :)
davout: i see a 'Track' field in the statjson that i don't have in the regular stat but it doesn't look like an order id
davout: mircea_popescu: so i did a quick test but i couldn't find an order id in the stat or statjson for me to know which order the reported execution is related to
mircea_popescu: anyway, yes, a liter, wasn't grain alcohol tho.
xoinfinityox: mircea: isn't that the whole point of this channel? :)
BingoBoingo: There are exactly 3 rules for being minimally hassled upon arrest in the United States: 1. Be white and hava a shitty American Accent 2. Wear a suit 3. Don't smell like a hobo
mircea_popescu: xoinfinityox well apparently they don't anymore, not in india.
xoinfinityox: i don't have a hey girl coin joke yet tho :(
benkay: nubbins`: but rational market participants won't buy if their investment never returns, so how does unprofitable mining work forever?
xoinfinityox: @mircea_popescu other news outlets and tech blogs pick up gov't regulation / seizure of btc events
mircea_popescu: xoinfinityox other news outlets don't practically exist. what's out there ?
mircea_popescu: a no twasn't him. my bad.
benkay: yeah i don't quite understand that, mircea_popescu.
xoinfinityox: im curious why other news outlets don't pick it up
xoinfinityox: i don't doubt mircea's veracity, but one source does not a fact makee
xoinfinityox: that isn't confirmed at this point
xoinfinityox: this isn't about strategy, its about whether the US is playing the game at all
xoinfinityox: i don't think your analogy fits the situation
xoinfinityox: (gov't mining)
benkay: didn't your name once only have one trailing 'o', toffoo?
mircea_popescu: i didn't just make it up.
monolithik: (I don't think we are disagreeing with eachother) the best technology doesn't always win. The one that is first to market that is un-shitty enough to provide some value wins.
mircea_popescu: but yeah, Duffer1 has a point, trilema isn't exactly a manual, more like that one asshole instructor in karate that just beats the shit out of you and then laughs.
mircea_popescu: monolithik exactly. also, if there's going to be improvements to the concept, they may be discovered this way. atm we don't really know what utterly sucks in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: xoinfinityox hit the bitcoin category, can't hurt anything.
mircea_popescu: that can't hurt anything.
monolithik: I don't know about most of the other people involved, but Amir Taaki is a talented engineer.
mircea_popescu: the wilson guy definitely means well. i don't see he;s delivering any value yet, but it's way too early. the other thing sounds like it means well, same situation.
mircea_popescu: it may be dumb, but i don't get what it is asking ?
mircea_popescu: moving on, did i mention body stockings are kinda cool ? they should put this in seventeen or w/e kids read, "if you don't own a coupla good ones you're no woman"
