mircea_popescu: there isn't a better stock in the us. ☟︎
asciilifeform: which is why 'They're here to work and only work, a lot, hard and for very little money. Until they fall over.' is hilariously optimistic. most of these people, i doubt could even be made useful at butugychag, where 'fall over' is a matter of 3 months or so
asciilifeform: it is almost certainly easier than getting homo redditicus to build a house !
mircea_popescu: y're not here to state their oppinions, eat doritos or drink bear. They're here to work and only work, a lot, hard and for very little money. Until they fall over."
mircea_popescu: "Teh romanians entertain the mistaken view that one can't die of hunger. One can. Not only can, will. A certain count of Romanians (as large as necessary) will die of hunger, in the closer or more distant future, because otherwise the populace does not seem capable to comprehend that the only reason Trompi dropped them in the world is so they work. They're not here to enjoy themselves, they're not here to be happy, the

mircea_popescu: i did have a wasp once. i... bought it a drink.
mircea_popescu: one of the best parts of cutting grass in like may/june was, after you cut it, the next day or w/e, you go for a stroll
asciilifeform is not certain he ever once saw a grasshopper in this part of the globe
asciilifeform: if i ever encounter one of these sold at a street corner for twentybux i will certainly buy it..

mircea_popescu: nobody forces you to make a shitty engine!
mircea_popescu: if you're gonna make it heavier than a fuckable woman and steel and whatnot
asciilifeform: not a single one ever made and publicly sold, apparently, fits.
asciilifeform: the last owner fitted a very expensive and nice new blade
mircea_popescu: my thing was a very respectable 600W DC thing, never had a problem cutting right through thistle and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: so it's more like a motorized woodchipper ?
mircea_popescu: i somehow doubt a 36 v motor is actually in there. what, this thing weighs 60 lbs ?
asciilifeform: a lead-acid cell is good for perhaps 10-20 'deep' cycles
mircea_popescu: get a rack ?
mircea_popescu: but i guess you'll have to hitch a car battery to it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cord is a bitch on this hilly terrain. tends to get run over.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when i bought a grass cutter i bought one with plug. fuck me if im going to buy any battery anything.
asciilifeform: i went today to a specialist who deals in rare batteries, and he just gave me a pitying look.
asciilifeform: the 'enforced obsolescence' thing is sop even in something as boring as yard tools. not long ago, i bought an electric grass-cutter thing. works great, but battery holds a charge for perhaps 10 min! vendor used to sell the 36v battery pack for ~200 usd. extortionate, in there are 3 12v lead acid cells. which are 50mm wide, precisely, and no replacement sold anywhere in the world fits in the container! they, turns out, contract
mircea_popescu: let me guess punkman, thats a graph of bitcoind
mircea_popescu: and how come they're not working to make a woman that self-destructs after fucking.

asciilifeform: literature of decaying cultures is a matter for pro archaeologists
mircea_popescu: that fucking letter to the bum from his IDIOTIC mother about how that slut of a sister of his lied to everyone and wouldn't fuck
asciilifeform had same reaction as a young man
mircea_popescu: they didn't sit around being americans for more than an hour a month.
mircea_popescu: exactly like a state. 19th century americans ALSO had a day job.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: more of a church, structurally - almost everyone has a day job, does it as a spare thing
mircea_popescu: but you will notice that we're not merely aghast at inept fiat govertnment. we have substitute. we collect fucking taxes. heck, b-a collection is above the historical maximum for ANY fiat state known during the past century or more. well over 90%.
mircea_popescu: in other words : inner city blacks are subhuman, and not a proper example in this discussion.
mircea_popescu: (and you will also note that elephants in zoo may break cages/lay waste to the hay depot, but do not as a rule figure out hjow to use gps to locate the central bureau of zoos and burn the local pencildicks in charge.)
mircea_popescu: anyway. to reiterate : b-a needs to get a cinema production unit going. talk to me babies!
asciilifeform: possibly to where there isn't really a trace of this (at least afaik) left ?
asciilifeform: 'In ROUGHING IT there is an interesting account of a bandit named Slade, who, among countless other outrages, had committed twenty-eight murders. It is perfectly clear that Mark Twain admires this disgusting scoundrel. Slade was successful; therefore he was admirable. This outlook, no less common today, is summed up in the significant American expression 'to MAKE GOOD'. '
mircea_popescu: hjas nothing to do with the code folks. in the 19th century, the us was a place where people earned their keep.
asciilifeform: it is interesting to note the extent to which the 'code' folks succeeded. 19th c. usa was a place where rogues, bandits, brigands of every conceivable sort - were popular heroes
mircea_popescu wants a director now. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the cinematic vocation of 2010s is, depicting the us president as a sort of nero.
mircea_popescu: make me one in which bharara is depicted au naturel : as a lying, evil scumbag from hell.
mircea_popescu: it's sad that crud like that is going to be forever associated with "the first attempt to put the internet in the #1 position for marketing a movie"
mircea_popescu: in other news, snakes on a plane is an incredibly bad film. down there with tucker max productions and shit.
mircea_popescu: no, SHOULD stay as it is. it's a proposition of a bet.
kakobrekla: 'add a new bet' went to 'add a new prop' now
mircea_popescu: the individual quanta of money sent to a prop, were and remain "bets"
mircea_popescu: no, the idea is, the previous meaning of the word "Bet" as in, the page with a description and so forth, is now called prop
mircea_popescu: a urrite, "NEW BETS" => NEW PROPS
kakobrekla: but when prop is accepted it becomes a bet
mircea_popescu: and "ADD A NEW BET " to "ADD A NEW PROP" on https://bitbet.us/new/ pager
kakobrekla: HostFat> I could even used a multisig addresses, is it compatible with your script? < incidentally its compatible, since a few hours ago.
HostFat: (or a multisig address)
HostFat: I'm more on the idea that I didn't put anything than a wrong address
mircea_popescu: but i guess a warning if the field value doesn't verify as an address may be a good idea, when kakobrekla has some time for this.
mircea_popescu: well it's also possible to send bitcoins to address 1qwertyuiop etc. bitbet doesn't have a ready way to know.
HostFat: I could even used a multisig addresses, is it compatible with your script?
HostFat: eh, I think that it is passed more than a month :)
mircea_popescu: that within a day or two you should have hat the 0.1 or w/e it was refunded.
mircea_popescu: a ok.
mircea_popescu: the date carries a url
HostFat: so, here you said that after a while, if they were rejected
HostFat: I did 2 bets some weeks ago, maybe more than a month
Bingo_VACAY: I swear as a TA I would not have passed those bbet commenters
mircea_popescu: somehow the concept that if a => b => c => d => f then if (a || b || c || d || f) reduces to if (a) is not directly fucking obvious to this horde of illiterate college graduates.
mircea_popescu: https://bitbet.us/bet/1191/the-hearn-gavin-scamcoin-will-fizzle-in-2016/#c5151 << this bet has been SUCH a lulzy excursion into the "how tenuous a grasp of logic does the general public possess ?"
mircea_popescu: gotta grant it to the pump artists, did a much better job with this than the other team did with ripple.
punkman: 73mil eth available, huh, that's a lot

mircea_popescu: fucking lalaland where the govt is spending trillions, the populace turns into lazy & stupid cattle whose only aspiration is a govt college certificate for a govt "job" doing nothing and spending its time on reddit. then we wonder where did america go.
mircea_popescu: fucking idiots, anyway. the only correct thing is to fire the entire civil service, keep the thing closed for ten years, then tentatively put out half a bn or so see what happens.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-09-2015#1285635 << exactly the wrong kind of fucking ai. a) not actually intelligent ; b) negative - the last thing i fucking want to see is mechanically powered women nagging ; c) not self contained - at least the stupid nag you can beat into the ground. ☝︎☟︎

assbot: Logged on 05-07-2015 21:29:41; mircea_popescu: kakobrekla how about you do this specifically : a) make assbot make an hourly report with prices and volumes for each traded commodity ; b) make assbot spot a line trade for each time trade in a commodity goes > 100 btc ; c) make assbot keep a wallet for every person in l2 ; d) allow me to order buys and sells on bit4x via assbot, just gives me a hash to unpack like rating works now.
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: gigavps was known for the perpetual mining bond on GLBSE gigabond or whatever. MP recently declassified some logs from him way back when proving it was a ponzi all along.
pete_dushenski: kakobrekla: larger trades a la 'bigbitbets' would be neat
pete_dushenski: that's a very vague statement. a garage full of asics could be an 'operation' and it could be in YOUR basement and therefore about as trustworthy as they come
pete_dushenski: plus, what do you look for in a 'mining operation' that would make it 'trustworthy' ?
pete_dushenski: gigavps was a vps service provider, not a miner, neh ?
thestringpuller: just noticed there has never been a single truly trustworthy mining operation to date.
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell kakobrekla do you have rss feeds for bit4x that could be added to deedbot- ? vis-a-vis http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=05-07-2015#1188325, i care ! ☝︎
