asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you'd love to take over this 'customer' i'll be happy to sit back and watch.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: doesn't seem to work terribly well. perhaps my hands simply don't grow from the correct place.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: trying my hand at doing the kind of thing you do - enlightening stone age man
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm probably just being successfully trolled
mircea_popescu: mike_c date a foreign slut, it won't kill you.

joecool: mircea_popescu: are you a bot?
mircea_popescu: mike_c http://trilema.com/2009/nu-exista-proprietate-intelectuala/ http://trilema.com/2009/despre-proprietatea-intelectuala/ http://trilema.com/2010/proprietatea-intelectuala/ http://trilema.com/2012/nemuritorul-afanti/ etc
moiety: mircea_popescu: i hear it's not very nice... a tea event sounds pretty cool though, to me
moiety: mircea_popescu: random side note, have you had white tea?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: sarcasm so nothing in particular
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, for example mircea_popescu could probably build a physical card that is a "lukewarm wallet" as you put it, he would have the funds, but I don't think he could get his R&D investment back - it would be money thrown away.
ninjashogun: mike_c - No, I don't have any interest in building a device like that. The only way it would be feasible for a single person who has not made a substantial exit in another company, is if it were strongly patentable. Idon't think it is.
moiety: not yet mike_c he got distracted

ninjashogun: what do you think of moiety's suggestion? Here is what he's talking about - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_and_PIN
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a thing in the sense communism is 'a thing' - folks will keep trying
FabianB: mircea_popescu: but probably true for jp, korea and china, more or less
FabianB: mircea_popescu: that was a personal statement, not country statistics

moiety: mircea_popescu: and they are so ugly. what ever happened to aston and jaguar
ninjashogun: There is actually one take-away from the above insights that mircea_popescu 's quote led to here.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, I missed your dollar shave example, what was it?
moiety: so mircea_popescu, ThickAsTheives, can we conclude modern day styling is getting more minimalistic and less decorative because people are lazy/no servants/no time?
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu> (Side point- Art Deco's fascination with streamlining household objects whose actual wind resistance is irrelevant proved popular because levelling incomes led for the first time to a group of people who could afford good design but not household servants. It seems that a streamlined Art Deco lamp is easier to dust than a frilly Victorian one...) /// Nonsense.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, you can also see a lot of that in Apple computers. For example, they are supposed to be very "easy to use" (yet are expensive). But this hides the fact that a lot of people use it to run accounting software that's also dumbed down to their level, and a load of similar extra-expensive things that let them manage their lifestyle. It's becaues they make enough money to buy Macs and to buy expensive dumbed-do
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, that is very interesting.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: seriously, winblows is mandatory, and that's the 'reasoning'
moiety: i totally agree with mike_c i think it would be a really interesting good thread ninjashogun go for it
ninjashogun: mike_c: I hope you're kidding?
davout: benderp: yo, brb, zipping some leonard cohen for mircea_popescu
Perlboy: mircea_popescu, ok, nice article though i'm glad there's someone like you able to push back
Perlboy: mircea_popescu, yeah kiwi's are a bit more open
Perlboy: mircea_popescu, nice article http://trilema.com/2014/interacting-with-fiat-institution-a-guide/ just a slight comment "(unfortunately the Australian equivalent of the US SEC has been uniquely unhelpful in this matter so far).". Patrick Harnett appears to have a +64 number which would make him NZ :)
moiety: eww mircea_popescu no one wants to see that much of their or anyone else's boss
benderp: mircea_popescu: more credence accrues every day to the notion that consumer organizations accepting bitcoin only do so as they begin to circle the drain.
moiety: mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-03-2014#564811 feck... you're not counting weird links and imgurs in this are you?! ☝︎

praeconium: mircea_popescu: what do You think of indexing alts?
praeconium: mike_c: thanks.
praeconium: mircea_popescu: but don't You think that many new ones will trade with similar patterns to old ones upon introduction or change of diffculty etc?
praeconium: mircea_popescu: thanks.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, if you need a trained Librarian.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I dunno if you've answered yet, but what are the plans for MP University? http://trilema.com/2014/fata-morgana-ii-or-dont-you-just-hate-it-when-you-come-up-with-an-idea-and-a-title-and-then-discover-you-need-an-introduction-which-keeps-swelling-so-eventually-youre-stuck-publishing-it-as-a-sta/

nubbins`: mircea_popescu: tyvm!
BCB: mircea_popescu: I'll have a pink carnation in my lapel
BCB: mircea_popescu: I'd be standing in the crowd during your perp walk
BCB: mircea_popescu: I don't think you'll have a choice in the matter.
BCB: mircea_popescu: SEC will fly you on their private jet
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: http://bitbet.us/propositions/ vs http://bitbet.us/bet/791/s-mg-above-2x-par-on-october-1st-2015/ -- year changed from 2014 to 2015, what gives!
BCB: mircea_popescu: why's that?
BCB: mircea_popescu: I want to meet you when you come to New York.
novusordo: mircea_popescu: yeah, I looked at the CSS because I thought it was a fall-back font

benkay: (re: "who runs this": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBmMU_iwe6U)
BCB: mircea_popescu: you command of the english language is impressive
BCB: mircea_popescu: ballsy
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: that's hilarious. :-) Thank you for sharing with us your SEC interaction; I hope you continue to do so. For what it's worth, I am being sincere.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I know the benkay and bitcoinpete readings of the emails are that the SEC will crash into you. I like to think that decoding your last email has been assigned to a few committees and all of the summer interns
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I imagine that could be one of the happiest Bitcoins you could ever part with
mircea_popescu: mike_c i guess so. was it actually one party doing it ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c well sure.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: there was no official registration except for VIP's
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i thought we could just show up in romania on the 17th and just listen to what people had to say
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu make it bold
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: you ever get your mp-as-hitler portrait sorted after?
jurov: mircea_popescu: you already liquidating it? just got something

sheldonthomas: mircea_popescu but upon further thought the sentence still doesn't make sense because of "nor" in the context of making an action-positive statement
jurov: mike_c: topace isn't the staff for several months already
sheldonthomas: shouldn't that be are _not_ liable
nubbins`: mike_c_z: specifically on october 1, yep

Neil: mircea_popescu: Yeah. Not sure if MP == MPOE, but yeah I realize most of that. I've felt it's not worth the effort (small group of people who know each other in real life has been enough so far) but I get the point, but not convinced yet.
BingoBoingo: Daphna_A_Waxman_: Actually this channel is recorded and logged
mircea_popescu: oops i mean Daphna_A_Waxman_
Neil: mircea_popescu: Maybe, maybe not.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: scammorz
Neil: mircea_popescu: Kinda surprised by your faith in WoT. I'm not on it, but have had many dealings with reputable "players". Not sure I believe anything on it, given the rep it assigned to "pirateat40" just before he "did the inevitable".

Neil: mircea_popescu: I'm certain you're right.
Neil: mircea_popescu: Was amusing to read your 1-way conversation with the SEC. Did they respond beyond what you posted, or did it just go silent?

Neil: mircea_popescu: Ah, absolutely. I intend to submit a bet soon but you or your stooges rejected my last one, so was waiting a while.
Neil: mircea_popescu> Neil wanna bet on that ? << Time lapse, no idea what you're referring to.
