to get on a plane
a111: Logged on 2017-05-24 21:06 ben_vulpes: goodness i
tell you it is downright impossible
to buy bitcoin stateside
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the delta means we could buy a coupla reddits or slashdots or w/e.
ben_vulpes: nah, just joking in re salary cuts
to
the last
time
this happened; "only economy in which salaries go down!"
mircea_popescu: it's how it fucking works
though. bitcoin is backshit-fuckwards.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm not
terribly happy about
the "congrats on completion of death march, here's
the salary cuts figures."
mircea_popescu: ie, minigame is
the most profitable game publisher ever, in relative
terms and so on.

the moon', but is happy for pete_dushenski et al
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: anyways, i get
the distinct impression
that you don't want
to be particularly rich and see no obvious merit or advantage
to wealth. so what else is
there
to say.

jurov: ben_vulpes: i do sell coins
to muricans, via
transferwise
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: you're a man ahead of your
time, even if your idealism keeps you from seizing golden opportunities.
pete_dushenski: no one offered you (or me) coins at $0.10. i caught wind at $0.90 but was
too young and naive
to grok.
thought btc was paypal alternative.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: nah, because you were in
the right place at
the right
time for one and not
the other
jurov: best
to structure some instrument
to make one poor at moment of death
danielpbarron: don't feel
too bad; it's very difficult for a rich man
to enter
the kingdom of God anyway
ben_vulpes: trinque: ah yes, i will have a million children and drain
them all
danielpbarron: i always wait
till
the actual bitcoin is in a real block in my address before i initiate another buy
ben_vulpes: if you actually have megabuxx
to wire, your wot can provide
danielpbarron: maybe it doesn't work for any substantial amount of money. but a few k here and
there..
ben_vulpes: i
thought asciilifeform was
the one winking and nudging
trinque
danielpbarron: coinbase still works last i checked earlier
this year
ben_vulpes: the great inca has won, bitcoin is impossible

☟︎ pete_dushenski: sounds like a decent retirement plan. offer sex ed classes on
the side.
the way education is SUPPOSED
TO WORK!
pete_dushenski: this is asciilifeform's problem with his understanding of blogs. 'i don't
talk about
traveling on my blog because
that's not
the
theme' isn't how contravex works. i
talk about whatever
the fuck i'm interested in or
thinking about or want
to remember for later, regardless of whether or not
the same 10 ppl are glued
to
their monitors adoring every word.
pete_dushenski: if you heard 'nice' 60k
times a day in conversation you'd make a cheatsheet
too. my
teeth can't
take much more grinding.
pete_dushenski: wat. gotta
teach
the kids how
to
talk. not everyone went
to asciilifeform's kindergarten in
the clouds.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: mostly up in
the atmosphere
a111: 2017-03-16 <veen>
the man-handling happened at
the helm of
the challenger, much much smaller airframe
ben_vulpes: just overheard from veen: "consumer does not have access
to self. my favorite error message."
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the ratchet's been going one way only.
the whole pretend-republic is ever less sustainable.
the rest...
mircea_popescu still recalls
the 3 months of "oh, electoral college, bulwark of democracy" pre november,
to be followed by endless stream of "oh, antiquated institution, holds back ourdemocracy paradise" hence.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re
the hawaii "judge" lulz, /me is already preparing
the popcorn for when
the shoe will be on
the other foot and libertards will be frothing at
the mouth as
to how
THIS IS NOT ALLOWABLE!!! only democratic when does it for democratic party!!!1
diana_coman: mircea_popescu>
the parallels with diana_coman eating away at
the ps atrocity for minigame are striking, by
the way. <- ha, catching up with
the logs and I wanted
to say precisely
that!
mircea_popescu: aaanyway, let dorks figure out
their own shit, what am i, free consultancy inc ?
mircea_popescu: there are some jobs for which old men are never fit,
turns out.
mircea_popescu: fox could have run
the whole story as martha stewart 2 and
that's it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
trump was an idiot for not putting her in jail day one.
mircea_popescu: by now
the usgtronic bestiary is getting pretty well fleshed out. "black man" assassin and "latino hotel maid" lying-under-oath and so on.
BingoBoingo: To be fair what's
the # of arkensexwithpigs prosecuted
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how are you going
to prosecute "black man" ? collective personage.
mircea_popescu: it's a sad day indeed for ourdemocracy when
the panstuit clown can't even get away with her extrajudicial murders anymore
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo an' lemme guess, some kulak elements, at putin's behest, are intermeddling in
the legal attempts
to bury
the whole
thing ?
tsk
tsk.
mircea_popescu: lemme guess, pantsuit clown hitmen ? (in subsidiary, how can something be "discredited" "Conspiracy
theories" before i even got
to hear about it ?
there's no minimum interval for discreditation ?)
BingoBoingo: Seth Rich is
the alleged wikileaks source
that
the DNC killed
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if
the same people made both. which...
they have.
mircea_popescu: the parallels with diana_coman eating away at
the ps atrocity for minigame are striking, by
the way.
mircea_popescu: starting
this from
the networking angle with a pastiche of ssh-perl is a bad idewa
mircea_popescu: once
that is in place, a proper p2p mechanism can be built and
trb will work way
the fuck better
than prb ever could.
mircea_popescu: anyway ;
the whole
thing with block management hasta be redone,
there's no way
to separate strands. which is why work is ongoing from
the other end,
trying
to figure out
the proper foundation for storing blocks, and creating a storage engine model etc, ben_vulpes 's stuff.
mircea_popescu: dood, no need
to butthurt, i'm not proposing something liek wires should not exist.
