http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300614 << hey nice ! i was looking at this one
a few months back as
a potential victim for my rom-eng secret sauce machine. i think i might just take this translation as
a more than adequate starting point, clean it up, and post it :)
mircea_popescu: yet another reason i don't feel inclined to procreate : i don't actually know of
a group for whose sake i'd be willing to lie to eventual daughters.
mircea_popescu: " It's obvious to anyone who has ever seen
a boy that they appear, as compared to
a similarly aged girl, completely retarded."
mircea_popescu: the death where everyone runs around like
a headless chicken while the economy disappears "all by itself" and every war is lost (and scarcely even worth the name)
mircea_popescu: Second, one might ask why this is happening to boys more than girls. It's obvious to anyone who has ever seen
a boy that they appear, as compared to
a similarly aged girl, completely retarded. So it makes sense that affluent parents-- any parents-- who have the option, will redshirt their five year old boy and hope he gets another year of maturity under his belt so that-- and this is my point-- he can keep up with th
ben_vulpes: fine it's not
a three body problem its
a stretchypainavoidantthing/gravity/pointything problem
ben_vulpes: orbital subset is just
a subset of the general stability problems
mircea_popescu: but i guess the old adage stands, that there's no better way to understand
a text than to try and translate it\
funkenstein_: i input
a few keys.. they went into the keystore, nothing odd happened

a full fledged rentier, lives off of it

a british way to say "grade"
assbot: Logged on 13-10-2015 18:24:46; mircea_popescu: anyway, pete_dushenski : someone (o'brien) signed your key and uploaded it to one of the servers. the result is
a different pubkey there.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu fwiw you're new keyboard seems markedly worse than you old one in terms of accuracy, at least on irc if not trilema. many
a spurious \\\ etc
mircea_popescu: i guess b-
a is
a very good venue to discuss the matter.

assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 09:48:04; cazalla: punkman, been
a daily thing for almost 3 years for me, just grown tired of it and the conversations about it past few months, i'm not saying "bitcoin is dead" just that i'm tired of talking/reading about it after this long, feel like going to do something else for 6-12 months and looking at it then after
a break
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 09:05:26; BingoBoingo: So far October has been an frustratingly boring part of Bitcoin. I am worried though that Qntra is crossing into its second year and people don't want
a giftwrapped chance to write
a first story. Is qntra insufficiently established or does this seem too much of
a trap. I the cost of fucking up in #b-
a seeming too high? I am confused.
pete_dushenski: "The husbands were observed by their wives to be less sensitive to the kids than other fathers and helped less with parenting." << seems to be
a crucial one.
shinohai: Some enterprising individuals in this area will often lift cars using cinder blocks, as if $19.99 is too much to rent
a pair of jackstands and do it right.
cazalla: ascii_field, not exactly (but i do need to find
a job), just want
a break from everything bitcoin so i can go find something else
mircea_popescu: alrighty i think we got an agreement there. post an addy an' we'll have
a memorandum on deedbot laters.
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 06:52:52; asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: does engl. have
a catch-term for 'fatal buggery' ?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller die young leave
a corpse with nice tits, eh ?
ascii_field: 1) he wasn't paid in genuine money 2) i'm not convinced that he's
a cultured man
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you reminded me of story of girl who sold
a company in college for
a couple million and then ended up overdosing the next day
mircea_popescu: but from what i hear the "cultured poor"
a la ers fare not much better.
mircea_popescu: so then for all you know they smoked in
a non-smoking place.
thestringpuller: either pay the government scandalous property taxes, or get butt fucked by
a landlord
thestringpuller: renting vs buying:
a choice between two bowls of shit in the US
mircea_popescu: but anyway, all of this is nonsense. if IN GENERAL landlords keep the deposit, then IT IS JUST
A COST. like part of the cost of renting. and if you somehow magically push this valve shut,
ascii_field: well, interestingly, i personally did. the last time i checked out of
a flat. but knew others, who rented in same building, who did not, and without any particularly good reason other than 'landlord knew they hadn't what to sue with'
mircea_popescu: this is the process whereby it's made sure. as the guy describes. "deposit fraud". hey check it out, some dcs charge
a set-up fee. "dc fraud". herp.
ben_vulpes: eh so the place has
a decade left before 'bankrupt' if such has meaning outside of bitcoin
punkman: "At the click of
a button he sends it to
a thousand matches. After half an hour no-one has responded. Worse, there’s
a bounce message from some stuck-up arsehole saying he’s been blocked. He tries to argue with the bounce message, threatening to report it to the Internet Police for curtailing his Freedom of Expression. “We int doing nuffink wrong” Shithead mutters."
mircea_popescu: in
a world where evereyone's deemed
a gentleman, you will need ~five times the population in lawyers. and it's all
a colossal waste of time anwyay, only about 1% or so of the population actually gets in relationships complex enough to merit memorialization
mircea_popescu: and this obviously only affects the poor to any degree - if antinous had or hadn't
a trousseau or if he had to pay some homonymous coins, hadrianus couldn't have cared less.
mircea_popescu: so, if here the landlords rent out for 10
a month but you gotta pay 10 in advance "as guarantee" and there they rent out for 11
a month but you don't,
mircea_popescu: and when inheritance changes from male only to both children, as it did in post fedual sicily, the obligation moves from her parents (as he will inherit HIS parents but not hers) to "both parents" which quickly devolves into
a sort of "what rich man in the comunity wishes to sponsor this festival"
mircea_popescu: conversely, in lands at carrying capacity, the old dudes gotta pay the young dude for their unwarranted priviledge of having occupied
a plot of land, which he can not do.
mircea_popescu: well obviously it's
a trick question. in pastoral communities/other situations where the land is well under carrying capacity, the young man pays, because the old folk could have just drunk and made merry, but instead they put the effort into raising the filly / rose garden / whatever the dude's gonna enjoy. so they should get something for their trouble.
mircea_popescu: so, in some places/cultures, it is the habit that young men committing marriage PAY to the parents of the young bride
a sum of money.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to get to the bottom of this matter, let's approach it from
a more convenient angle.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: if your mark is bad << what
a british way to say "grade"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so yes, it;'s
a contract like any other, it ends upon specific performance.
davout: has me on it; better be
a fucking great pic :D
davout: heh, that's what happens when bored at
a wedding, waiting for the booze to be served
mircea_popescu: i just had no idea such
a respectable, fetching jeune leader was under all that muck and grime and long curly hair is all +{:D
mircea_popescu: But having the same guys means that we'll be getting the same philosophies, the same filters, the same phrases. We are guaranteeing not just groupthink, but we're allowing others to decide what we're going to talk about, how we'll talk about it. That's why "gay marriage" will disappear not when gays can marry but when
a new set of media people get jobs and "gay marriage" isn't as interesting to them. The actual im
davout: also if you're curious what
a really thick accent from toulouse sounds like, listen to him
davout: he showed up
a coupla times here

a price; therefore glorify God in your body[
a] and in your spirit, which are God's.
assbot: You rated user Jautenim on 18-May-2015, with
a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: New blood..
mircea_popescu: (this isn't
a current file, it is
a historical version)
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 10:17:42; BingoBoingo: I've been drinking vodka and banging my head against this for about 8 hours nao off and on. I feel way too angry for
a 116/67 blood pressure reading.
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 10:09:34; kakobrekla: >at least we have bugs because it means that we're doing something, we're actually innovating whereas
a lot of our competitors don't have bugs because they don't change
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 09:55:50; cazalla: here, not reddit, not an attack, just saying having read daily for what,
a year now, gets
a bit much, spring is in full swing and summer on the way, have
a toddler to play with, need to find
a full job again, something gotta give i guess, the whole bitcoin thing is something i just want to pack up in
a box and look at again in
a year
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 09:11:50; punkman: BingoBoingo: well as you said, not sure if it's news. especially considering there's
a dozen or three Ether clones with same exact story
mircea_popescu: but otherwise yes, fluffy is actually
a deffect. just like blue eyes.
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 08:21:48; *: BingoBoingo still amazed that the fluffy gene when expressed is
a defect in any breed of dog
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 08:03:55; HeySteve: if the scheme takes off, it's also
a way for honest landlords to attract tenants by declaring their compliance to
a standard
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300279 << so
a) you'll spend your life driving between bickering nuts. this is
a worse deal than what psychs get, at least there you gotta drive to his office. ; b) the blockchain and everything else is entirely superfluous here. your entire idea is "hey, make me the mp of renting in south africa". maybe they will or maybe they won't but you really don't need the funny ha
☝︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: seriously, you're going to invent
a blockchain way to make losers not be beaten up by their betters ? because why.

a tenant's rental deposit without justification. very common around the world and hard to challenge legally
mircea_popescu: to me this strictly means that the methods "of government" are merely the methods of educated stupidity, there's nothing else there. whenever
a stupid part of one's worldview tries to avail itself of the power justly earned by other parts to maintain itself, you got
a government talking. and it talks the same way EVERY TIME.
mircea_popescu: obviously i refuse this approach, but note the method for chrissakes. 2011, in obscure language, on obscure topic nobody gives
a shit about.
