BingoBoingo: punkman: I just saw it. Writing up a note.
liquidassets: These Usian Disney chicks keep using 'love' like it's this thing one gives to another to substitute for what one lacks, or a tool for filling a void or getting what one wants. Maybe the word they're actually looking for is cock! Do you cock me? Well sure I do baby.

ben_vulpes: like i said kakobrekla the 'board' can pay whatever in divs apparently

ben_vulpes: not that anyone cares, but things i'd like to see pre-ipo:
asciilifeform: i can't recall anywhere else where it happens.
mircea_popescu: I wrote a new book, and it’s out now. But–it’s not funny stories of getting drunk, hooking up and yelling curses at people (though it’s sort of related, a little).

asciilifeform: quite convinced of it." VJ replied, "good for that - when do they think you've sold?" and Ulbricht responded, "about a month ago." 3 Based on my training and experience, and my familiarity with this investigation, I believe that during this conversation, Ulbricht disclosed that he had told two people of his connection to Silk Road, but had lied to them by claiming that he had sold Silk Road to someone else.'
asciilifeform: e.g., 'During the same chat, VJ asked Ulbricht, in sum and substance, whether Ulbricht had disclosed to anyone in real life that he was involved in Silk Road: "IRL - is there anyone with a clue at all? Girlfriend, boyfriend, bunny you talk to, online buddy's who you've know for years? Gramma, priest, rabbi, stripper?" Ulbricht responded, "unfortunately yes.

mircea_popescu: The press has to be responsible; they're not being responsible. Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? We're losing a lot of people because of the Internet. I just the other day got… an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday. We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people who really understand what's happening and maybe,

brg444: I guess this is a better attempt at it than Newsweek :D
pete_dushenski: now, either i'm not paying so much attention anymore (likely hypothesis) or all the i-esque bricks look the same in much the same way that a kia looks like a bmw (also likely)
pete_dushenski: punkman: i always thought the nokia n95 was a nifty device, until 1st gen iphone appeared
mircea_popescu: heh... i wonder if the person could be persuaded to do a "fatties and bitcoin" corner ?

nubbins`: right now i've got 4, missing 1, prob will never get it.

mircea_popescu: if you think the stotting buck is stotting "to impress the she-herd" you've spent a little too much time i nschool.
asciilifeform: it is entirely possible for an old (to a point) man to shoot better, take more physical punishment, run faster, even - than disposable cannon fodder. to a point. but the one thing that doesn't grow back is... WANTING TO. i.e. thinking that, in greenspun's words, 'the group is worth impressing' via suicidal stupidity
mircea_popescu: now maybe im slow, but i dun see hopw that relates.

mircea_popescu: "1) Why did you choose me for communicating your secret? Am I really your unconditional fellow-thinker who can be entrusted with a secret? To be your fellow-thinker, I should have known all your intimate plans against the emigration, plans you are professionally obligated to have. How and by what means will you prove to me that you are speaking with me now not as a professional provocateur from the NKVD, but as a patri

BingoBoingo: Honestly I dunno how an operation could dare call itself partial foods without getting the main ingredient from the shadiest looking supplier on ALiaba.com
punkman: I don't see the margins, unless you can get dirt cheap whey. maybe another source of protein.
BingoBoingo: Also gotta remember I'm not necessarily thinking about something I'd want to eat. I'm imagineering a product that could be marketed to great success and high margin
punkman: I got the idea of pistachio butter stuck in my head last few weeks though
