mircea_popescu: somehow we're asked
to forgive
the plain fact
that pantsuit's socialist paradise will NEVER come, because let's all focus on how some species got extincted for sucking bad enough
to need
the measure.
mircea_popescu: MEANWHILE, however,
they have 100% unaccounted for
the
time externality. so basically it's a contest consisting of a guy without legs going about finding fault with people's fingers. because he's decided "legs don't count", and so as he has much better hands
than
the rest of
those losers he should be captain of
the football
team.

this
thread puts much in perspective. In all my arguments with socialist aquaintances, it always seems like it boils down
to "well, if
there's failure
that just means we haven't
tried xyz magical configuration of policies yet!". I.e. "goal posts" can be moved ad infinitum (in
their eyes,
that is)
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-12#1783451 << very much
that exactly.
the pantsuit rides on a high and mighty horse of "oh, capitalists don't account for ALL
the externalities", hence its
trojan horse of "environmentalism", because mind you
that people making
the civilisation run haven't in
their ledger of costs and benefits a line for
the obscure pondfish of extinction, and
this, while epsilon, IS
TILL NOT ZERO!!! concerntrol

taking say 1.5 worth of absolutely senior convertible equity in your continuant venture, however you call it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i'm not against you
taking over ; but mind
that as you also mention, BingoBoingo 's problem wasn't lack of access
to capital (i dunno why
this keeps being
the expectation, as it's scarcely yet been
the case, we're drastically overcapitalized is
the entire fucking problem
to begin with). BingoBoingo 's problem was lack of access
to middle management, and it nigh on killed him. so for
this
to work,
that's
the key element.
☟︎ mircea_popescu wasn't going
to read
the logs ; but
then hanbot insisted. all
the better.
diana_coman: mod6, mind giving a bit more detail regarding
the business+technical side?

the BEST
THING father can do for his daughter, aged 9
to 19, is make sure she has abundant, clean protein available. no meal without salmon, fine beef, shrimp, pump her full of 100g of protein a day.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-25 17:25 mircea_popescu: hmm, where
the hell is
the place where i say
the father's responsibility
to his daughter is
to shove a pound of raw prime beef down her
throat every day and naught else ?

trilema have funding
that shinohai does not. Might move it
to home box, remains
to be seen.

this may be something you and I might discuss you overtaking, since I likely am not going
to be able
to bring back jhvh1 with current isp woes, etc.
lobbes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783587 << damn. Well, while I'm not opposed
to having lobbesbot
take over jhvh1 functionality, I still have much in
the hopper already (e.g. getting archive bulk-download into production). Hell, by
the
time I get
to it I may wake
to my own heathen vpsen assassinated ;/
☝︎ ave1: I will reread
the charter and all other relevant documents
ave1: I hereby apologise
to lord ben_vulpes
ave1: I hereby apologise
to lord mod6
ave1: I seem
to have
tripped over
the name *foundation*
☟︎ lobbes: yeah ave1, I'm not sure how you arrived at
that conclusion. Foundation is
two guys who each have a distinct identity
that can be impaled by
the forum's punishment gazette at any
time. I fail
to see
the pantsuit properties of
the solution
ben_vulpes: what, we release a
trb
that steals your coins and somehow nobody is
to blame? get real
ben_vulpes: how does
that follow from my and mod6 personal responsibility for everything
the foundation does
ave1: If it is a failure, no one is
to blame
ben_vulpes: remind me of what
these rules and bylaws are again?
ave1: Now if it is a success, we have
this powerfull *foundation* (with rules and bylaws etc etc)

the Bitcoin Foundation has been discussing all day about using funds
to support
the bbisp. We are ready
to make
that commitment.
mod6: yah, i
thought
they might be a bit small. lemme see what I can do.
mod6: ooh, ok lemme give
that a shot.

try with /dev/zero
mod6: I can confirm
that
the seal verifies and
that pressing up

mod6: Happy Valentines Day,

☟︎ mod6: We hope,
to retain Mr. Popescu as a customer, as well as ``Minigame'', S.MG, so known.
mod6: We propose
to pay him outright, relieving him of obligations
to
the venture.
mod6: The aim is
to supply you with funds
to continue operations. And
to relieve you of debt
to Mr. Popescu.

trinque phf asciilifeform can run bots without
the republican isp but all of a sudden shinohai cannot?
