mjr_: but we aren'
t the only two josh's in the world
Josh_Rossi: because i don'
t think necessarily that it matters what risks you are taking as long as you are aware you are taking them and honest about them

t phrase quite so dramatically

mod6: You miss 100% of the shots you don'
t take -- Wayne Gretzky
smickles: mircea_popescu: this also happened that day that he had trouble authing with gribble, so, given that he wasn'
t willing to sign anything, i had a small bit of doubt that i was even talking with the real evoorhees
Namworld: aye, too bad I can'
t sell more.
MJR_: and maybe we shouldn'
t so much
MJR_: I don'
t think that they would care much
smickles: mircea_popescu: well, he implied that he either wasn'
t the sole owner of sdice (outside of S.DICE) or that he would soon become only a part owner and that his word would not transfer to these other owners
mircea_popescu: smickles i don'

t buy happiness? Look at the fucking smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby.
mircea_popescu: unbalanced i don'

t see that there were IPO shares left.
mircea_popescu: unbalanced yeah, well... interesting device. we still don'
t have enough on how exactly it'd play out to know.
unbalanced: They are trying to do this in a way that won'
t get them shut down. I hope they do well and grow the market.
MJR_: can'
t turn your head without it jumping
unbalanced: Won'
t a big sdice win like that just encourage more desperate rubes to flush their bitcoins away?
smickles: "naw, that wasn'
t real money, that was a game. Like warhammere 40k"
smickles: isn'

t let pretty effects be a crutch or mask poor functionality

t post #2 in the channel
imsaguy: abracadabra: it wasn'
t address to you
deadweasel: i just went to my account, pending transfer from yesterday still stuck. couldn'

Bowjob: since i've got nothing productive to do but fap all day, and I don'
t feel like working a min wage
mircea_popescu: tiberiusiv it becomes problematic tho. the poor probably quit already, the rich really don'
t have a problem of getting fiat
mircea_popescu: when it gets to the point where retired folks see plainly they're riding into a wall and they have no clue you know things won'
t end well.
mircea_popescu: she just goes on whatever data she has. often that's crap, and when it is she doesn'
t know about it,.
mircea_popescu: it's the second time she fucked up, incidentally. the closing down of nuclear plants was already indicative. she doesn'
t think too well.
mircea_popescu: basically they failed to understand the "stolen" money in the oligarchs bank accounts isn'
t stolen by those oligarchs from the state
jurov: angela merkel can'
t be *that* stupid.. or she really doesn'
t have other option
mircea_popescu: no, i don'
t have bitcoin's funniest inbox. bitcoin is just too funny for one single person.
Diablo-D3: it obviously doesn'
t have all the possible outcomes
Namworld: A statement of the obvious. I prefer when they don'
t talk.
midnightmagic: Don'
t worry, it's just because you're a sociopath. I'll care enough for the both of us.
mircea_popescu: that's your contention, but it doesn'
t carry much water with me.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t particularly care. i wanted to know whether it does or it doesn'
t.
midnightmagic: Like, what do you care whether evidence should or is or isn'
t updating my opinion?
midnightmagic: You sure don'
t act like it's not really much. You get worked up over little things more these days than you used to.
midnightmagic: What is your problem anyway? Like if bitcoin is such a source of contention for you, why don'
t you just shake your head at its stupid inanities (sociopathic community elements included) and move on?
midnightmagic: I just find your hypocrisy growing by leaps and bounds this last while, and I don'
t understand what's unravelling you.
mircea_popescu: it's an ethical issue, you just don'
t want to face it.
midnightmagic: Just simple disappointment because I was considering at last doing a trade-in of my Icarus but I don'
t want them to charge me batch #3 prices.
midnightmagic: I wouldn'
t call it aesthetic nor ethical objection to a price increase.
Namworld: They don'
t appear universal. Opinions seems to differ greatly on the topic.
mircea_popescu: pigeons i don'
t recall them asking / me caring at that tiem.
mircea_popescu: actually, if bfl delivering weren'
t such a moot point, i'd be collecting these rights as we speak and sueingthem into oblivion anyway
mircea_popescu: now, this is how things are. this isn'
t open to debate, it's long established point of law. you're welcome to challenge it, but it can'
t be challenged by simple personal exceptionalism.
mircea_popescu: point 2 : any purchase may only be entertained by a seller of an existant item. nobody can sell what they don'
t own.
midnightmagic: kakobrekla: Actually, channel rules don'
t supercede explicitly-defined moral rights under the copyright acts of both Canada and Romania.
midnightmagic: Okay go ahead. Also, you don'
t have my permission to quote anything I've said today.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Ethical is what's we're talking about here isn'
t it?
mircea_popescu: they claimed they're selling an item, but the item didn'
t at the time exist. the people "pre ordering" simply made equity contributions.
mircea_popescu: this "you've financed our corp so here's a complimentary biscuit" doesn'
t really cut it.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic you know, you shouldn'
t let your preconceived notions blind you so.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Someone's making money, money is king, except when you don'
t directly benefit. Then you suddenly grow a conscience?
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: If that is, indeed, what he's done, that sucks. I don'
t see any evidence for them mining their own hardware (difficulty spiked only on delivery as per users self-reporting,) but then you tend to jump to conclusions a lot (as per your assertion that gmaxwell wanted to steal rich peoples' money, because you didn'
t grok multisig, for example,) so why let the lack of facts get in the way this time?
mircea_popescu: granted, i don'
t go by the very superficial approach most people seem to use.
pigeons: wait what did he do unethical? The thing I'm aware of is lying about having shipped when they hadn'
t midnightmagic: I don'
t really care that he's upped the price. With a machine that pays for itself in less than 5 days (with luck) why would he not?
jcpham: i can'
t listen anything that person says
