mircea_popescu: here's how a qntrable 2 would look : "The original business plan said "X, Y and Z" in relevant part, and it attracted ~10 BTC. Then it was changed to "nonY and cvasi Z no mention of X" leaving the original investors hanging.
mircea_popescu: i have to dig it out of you with irons that "hey, i researched this for five days, there's three dozen wrong things" ? why, because you hate the world ?
mircea_popescu: not that this specific FORM is required, but do you follow the LOGIC involved ?
mircea_popescu: well, so why was your piece not titled "36 red flags... you can take these to the Banx" ?
mircea_popescu: that problem being... did you just MAKE UP A NUMBER ? in a discussion about an article that you submitted which was rejected for being very poorly written, which you wish to interpret as political, or stylistical, or anything but what the actual problem is ?
mircea_popescu: and you'd better get to 36, because if you don't you have a serious problem to contemplate.
mircea_popescu: the part that isn't fine is what you made with the results. list, for public benefit, the things you found in these 5 days.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: <shinohai> "If this is a scam, I want to be scammed more." <<< careful what you wish! << no, it's exact. and he'll get it too.
mircea_popescu: take a very simple metric : you say " that BANX has no credible revenue model was half the point" but at no point, and especially not at the right point, was the plain statement "BANX has no revenue model" to be found.
mircea_popescu: the problem of your thing was its form, not its content. i couldn't even get to the content.
mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> as for the rest, mircea_popescu, you may dismiss everything that isn't Bitcoin 0.5 as a scam but I do not take this view without evidence << but note that none of that is in any sense what i said.
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.Zuardi.1:537c64dac6ad6e2b39f5daddb6e99e4729b0e0ae4e9b247f4f6cc49a226247e9

☟︎ mircea_popescu: <PeterL> Now that QNTRA is a year old, is there any plan to explore revenue generation? << notrly. the plan is to explore a way to get more people to write better.

mircea_popescu: for his entire lifetime, and very plainly predictably at that, the land in question would have been worth more under british rule.

mircea_popescu: "Washington was a land developer, often described as the richest of his generation. By the end of the American Revolution, General Washington controlled about sixty thousand acres of land" << and there lies the debunk. it's true that george washington was well off. it's true he controlled some tens of k's of acres. it is UNTRUE that made him "richest in his generation".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: like hell! real sports fans think the sport outcomes OBVIOUSLY MATTER. they just don't think they matter to anything in particular, but that's fine, neither does the punditry fan.
mircea_popescu: Political TV punditry is like sports for the intellectual set. You get to keep track of who's on which team, who gets traded, who made what play last night...and none of it could possibly matter less to what actually makes the world go 'round. At least sports fans don't have the same delusion of their choice of entertainment "mattering".
mircea_popescu: right it's exactly the opposite of "literary" english.

mircea_popescu: at least for the "nude women and whips" thing the excuse may be had that it does not interest the general public.
mircea_popescu: these fucktards. how fucking hard it is to vacate a car garage throw a party.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo " The submission may be, usually ought to be GPG encrypted" no lassitudo. pick one, stick with it.
mircea_popescu: so refreshing to see residents misuse pannus to discuss panniculus.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-10-2015#1305692 <<< meanwhile i xreferenced, he's the guy that wanted to do some hairbrained rent deposit insurance thing. i don't see anything actually negratable in there, so he's young and doesn't know all sorts of things. big whoop. everyone's born young. i don't see he did anything offensive past that.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: if i wanted to see 1-2 weird girls next door being self conscious in briefs i'd go to a lame beach.
mircea_popescu: or for that matter that if you advertise "buenos aires exxotica" you'd better ACTUALLY GET NUDE MODELS ; that are actually over five feet five inches tall and that ARE NUDE ffs.
